"bio": "Lesley McClurg is a health correspondent and fill-in host whose work is regularly rebroadcast on NPR and PBS programs. She’s earned multiple regional Emmy awards, a national and a regional Edward R. Murrow award, and was named Best Beat Reporter by the Association of Health Care Journalists. The Society of Professional Journalists has recognized her work several times, and the Society of Environmental Journalists spotlighted her coverage of California’s historic drought.\r\n\r\nBefore joining KQED in 2016, Lesley covered food and sustainability for Capital Public Radio, environmental issues for Colorado Public Radio, and reported for KUOW and KCTS 9 in Seattle. Away from the newsroom, she loves skiing with her daughter, mountain biking with her partner, and playing with Ollie, the family’s goldendoodle. On deadline, she runs almost entirely on chocolate chips.\r\n\r\n ",

A separate pool is set aside for small office projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition M was spurred in reaction to the building boom of the 1960s and 1970s that gave rise to San Francisco’s skyline. The measure’s supporters rallied to stop what they called the “Manhattanization” of downtown that blocked bay views, cast shadows and attracted hordes of commuting office workers.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Nick Josefowitz, director of policy at SPUR\"]‘I think the premise of Prop.
