"content": "\u003cp>Like many Russian immigrants who came to the Bay Area in the 1990s, my childhood was full of weekly pilgrimages to San Francisco’s Richmond District. On Sundays, my family and I would get dressed up to attend Russian Orthodox church on Geary Street, buy olivier salad and pickled cabbage by the pound at \u003ca href=\"https://www.newworldmarketsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New World Market\u003c/a> and take in the aromas of pirozhki and other baked goods at \u003ca href=\"http://cinderellabakery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cinderella Bakery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With bellies full, we’d stroll down Balboa Street to \u003ca href=\"https://www.globusbooks.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Globus Books\u003c/a>, the Russian bookstore that feels like a time capsule, with its Persian rugs, towering shelves of dusty tomes and a distinctive old-library scent. As a child, I delighted in Soviet-era picture books like \u003cem>Dyadya Fyodor\u003c/em>, about a precocious boy who runs away from home to live with a dog and cat. In my teen years, I explored intimidating stacks of classics by Dostoevsky and Bulgakov, and art books from the Hermitage Museum of my native Saint Petersburg. And in my early twenties, I tripped out on Victor Pelevin’s drug-addled, darkly funny Gen X novel \u003cem>Generation P \u003c/em>(the P standing for \u003cem>pizdetz\u003c/em>, or screwed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Globus, opened in 1971, has remarkably stood the test of time, serving several generations of Russian immigrants, including those who came as Jewish refugees during the ’70s and ’80s, and the rest that followed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet as the Richmond District changes, and as the Russian community gets priced out along with other immigrant populations in San Francisco, the decidedly niche business has found itself in need of switching up its approach as it enters a new decade, hoping to preserve its older generation of customers while attracting younger readers and non-Russian speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13873164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13873164\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Globus Books has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area's Russian community since 1971.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Globus Books has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area’s Russian community since 1971. \u003ccite>(Nastia Voynovskaya)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For new owner Pavel Chepyzhov and managers Julie Kulyamzina and Zarina Zabrisky, that means embracing the diversity of the Bay Area’s Russian-speaking community, as well as people curious about Russian culture and literature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“On one side you have Russian speakers who came from China after the second world war, and they are very different from the Russian speakers who are immigrating right now to Silicon Valley,” Chepyzhov offers, adding that Georgian and Armenian cultures also occupy a prominent place within the Bay Area’s Russian-speaking world. “They have a lot of books in common and Globus could be the place where they all could meet.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books about Russian feminism and LGBTQ+ people have also recently made their way onto Globus’ shelves. And the store now has a growing English-language section on Russia and the former Soviet Union. (On my last visit, I picked up Lydia B. Zaverukha and Nina Bogdan’s visually stunning \u003cem>Russian San Francisco\u003c/em>, full of historical photos dating back to 1840.) One of the goals, Chepyzhov says, is to spread awareness about the culture beyond what Americans hear in the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately the Russian politics, of course, doesn’t get the best media for obvious reasons,” he says. “But I think talking about books and about culture—this is what we want to promote, this is what is appreciated in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zabrisky, a writer known for her work with progressive activist group the Arts Resistance, is in charge of new event programming for the space, including author talks, readings and screenings coming later in the year. The first new event series is story time for toddlers, happening every Wednesday at 10:30am starting Feb. 5.

On Sundays, my family and I would get dressed up to attend Russian Orthodox church on Geary Street, buy olivier salad and pickled cabbage by the pound at \u003ca href=\"https://www.newworldmarketsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New World Market\u003c/a> and take in the aromas of pirozhki and other baked goods at \u003ca href=\"http://cinderellabakery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cinderella Bakery\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With bellies full, we’d stroll down Balboa Street to \u003ca href=\"https://www.globusbooks.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Globus Books\u003c/a>, the Russian bookstore that feels like a time capsule, with its Persian rugs, towering shelves of dusty tomes and a distinctive old-library scent. As a child, I delighted in Soviet-era picture books like \u003cem>Dyadya Fyodor\u003c/em>, about a precocious boy who runs away from home to live with a dog and cat. In my teen years, I explored intimidating stacks of classics by Dostoevsky and Bulgakov, and art books from the Hermitage Museum of my native Saint Petersburg. And in my early twenties, I tripped out on Victor Pelevin’s drug-addled, darkly funny Gen X novel \u003cem>Generation P \u003c/em>(the P standing for \u003cem>pizdetz\u003c/em>, or screwed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Globus, opened in 1971, has remarkably stood the test of time, serving several generations of Russian immigrants, including those who came as Jewish refugees during the ’70s and ’80s, and the rest that followed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet as the Richmond District changes, and as the Russian community gets priced out along with other immigrant populations in San Francisco, the decidedly niche business has found itself in need of switching up its approach as it enters a new decade, hoping to preserve its older generation of customers while attracting younger readers and non-Russian speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13873164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13873164\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Globus Books has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area's Russian community since 1971.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/IMG_4241.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Globus Books has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area’s Russian community since 1971. \u003ccite>(Nastia Voynovskaya)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For new owner Pavel Chepyzhov and managers Julie Kulyamzina and Zarina Zabrisky, that means embracing the diversity of the Bay Area’s Russian-speaking community, as well as people curious about Russian culture and literature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the store now has a growing English-language section on Russia and the former Soviet Union. (On my last visit, I picked up Lydia B. Zaverukha and Nina Bogdan’s visually stunning \u003cem>Russian San Francisco\u003c/em>, full of historical photos dating back to 1840.) One of the goals, Chepyzhov says, is to spread awareness about the culture beyond what Americans hear in the news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately the Russian politics, of course, doesn’t get the best media for obvious reasons,” he says. “But I think talking about books and about culture—this is what we want to promote, this is what is appreciated in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zabrisky, a writer known for her work with progressive activist group the Arts Resistance, is in charge of new event programming for the space, including author talks, readings and screenings coming later in the year. The first new event series is story time for toddlers, happening every Wednesday at 10:30am starting Feb. 5.

"content": "\u003cp>Just two days into his tenure as San Francisco's District Attorney, Chesa Boudin fired at least seven prosecuting attorneys. Boudin said the actions were necessary to carry out the progressive policies he campaigned on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to make difficult staffing decisions [Friday] in order to put in place a management team that will help me accomplish the work I committed to do for San Francisco,\" Boudin said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not unusual for a newly elected district attorney to restructure the management team, said Lara Bazelon, a law professor at the University of San Francisco. The attorneys are at-will employees, which means they can be fired without reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon was a member of Boudin’s policy team during his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's common to fire people who are in management at the top level who are not going to be enthusiastic about the new agenda,\" Bazelon explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon gave the example of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, another progressive prosecutor who campaigned on criminal justice reform.\u003ca href=\"https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/crime/larry-krasner-philly-da-firing-prosecutors-20180105.html-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Krasner fired 31 members of his staff\u003c/a> in 2018, three days after he was sworn in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='chesa-boudin' label='More Coverage']The attorneys, who were given the news at one-on-one meetings or over the phone with Boudin on Friday, are Kara Lacy, a felony trial lawyer, Ana Gonzalez, managing attorney in the office’s Gang Unit, Linda Allen and Todd Barrett, managing attorneys in the General Felonies Unit, Michael Swart, managing attorney of the office’s Homicide Unit and Tom Ostly, a trial attorney in the Crime Strategies Unit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/New-SF-District-Attorney-fires-multiple-14966620.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has learned a seventh attorney — Craig Menchin in the Writs and Appeals Unit — was also fired, according to a person directly familiar with the matter. The district attorney's office employs over 200 staff members, according to the department's \u003ca href=\"https://sfdistrictattorney.org/departments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To be fired in this way was devastating for me,\" said one of the attorneys who was let go. The attorney spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation from the Boudin administration, and that it could impact future job opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hard to guess Mr. Boudin's reasoning,\" the attorney said. \"I think the impact on morale is going to be devastating.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793457/can-s-f-s-chesa-boudin-flip-the-script-for-progressive-das-across-the-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ran on an anti-incarceration platform\u003c/a> — including the creation of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.chesaboudin.com/wrongful_convictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wrongful Conviction Unit\u003c/a> and an Innocence Commission — a vision that may have conflicted with the priorities of the fired attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney who was fired said they were “absolutely willing” to follow Boudin's new policy directives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For someone who ran on a platform of second chances, I know I never got a first,\" the attorney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon believes some of the attorneys who were fired had \"problematic\" histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She mentioned the example of attorney Linda Allen, who convicted Jamal Truelove for a 2007 murder only to see the case overturned. In 2014, the California Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Ex-reality-TV-show-contestant-acquitted-of-murder-6128811.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reversed Trulove's conviction\u003c/a> after finding fault with Allen's assertions in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, San Francisco paid $13.1 million to Trulove after an Oakland jury \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11734209/san-francisco-to-pay-13-1-million-to-man-framed-by-police-for-murder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found that two police officers on the case fabricated evidence\u003c/a> and failed to disclose exculpatory material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think [Allen] should have been let go years ago,\" Bazelon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Municipal Attorneys Association, the bargaining group that represents the seven fired attorneys, said in a statement that Boudin’s actions should be reversed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rash decision-making such as this will not help build trust in an office that is already suffering from years of recruitment and retention problems,\" the statement said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Chronicle, at least some of the fired attorneys plan on pursuing legal action. The attorney who spoke on the condition of anonymity declined to comment on whether they would do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Visitors from around the world have had their photos taken with him, often after he’s told them where to catch the cable car and how to get to Fisherman’s Wharf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one of the best jobs in San Francisco,” says Sweeney, 62, as a cable car clanks by. “Working outside a landmark hotel, cable cars come by every nine minutes, it doesn’t get much better than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man known as a “San Francisco original” and “living landmark” retires Sunday after 43 years in a changed city. San Francisco continues to grapple with homelessness, aggressive panhandling and vehicle break-ins even as some residents have become wealthier amid a tech boom. The hospitality industry has also changed dramatically, making Sweeney a throwback to an era when doormen hailed cabs and wrangled wheel-less suitcases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, most people hail rides via smartphone, and hardly anyone carries cash for tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of the San Francisco Travel Association, said Sweeney “has been not just an ambassador but the embodiment of San Francisco’s spirit — cheerful, helpful, upbeat, welcoming.

She lamented the loss of another fixture in a city where beloved businesses have shut down because of rising rents and changing consumer tastes. Luxury retailer Gump’s, for example, closed its downtown doors in 2018, although new ownership may revive the store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost like, ‘What else is leaving in San Francisco?’ ” she said. “It’s just not the same.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweeney is not the hotel’s only Beefeater doorman, although he is the best-known and the longest-lasting doorman in a city with about 100 of them. The \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> toasted his 40th year on the job on its front page; he has his own plaque on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third-generation San Franciscan never dreamed he’d make such a mark impersonating a British guard when he took the job at 19 because his mother knew the hotel’s general manager and they needed a doorman for the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He fell in love with the job, and San Francisco treated him like royalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein honored him with a special award in 1982 after he tackled — in full costume — two robbers fleeing with stolen suitcases. The other “Nick of Time” award winners that year were San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and nimble-fingered receiver Dwight Clark for their role in “The Catch,” which led to the team’s first Super Bowl win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweeney was frequently mentioned in the columns of Chronicle journalist and humorist Herb Caen, who memorialized San Francisco for decades. Getting a call from Caen, who died in 1997, was like getting a call from God, Sweeney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his San Francisco home, Sweeney stores news clippings, Beefeater memorabilia from fans, and previous costumes — he’s had 46, one for every year plus some spares. The term “Beefeater” may refer to the guards who taste-tested food for French kings, or to the Beefeaters who still stand guard at the Tower of London, allegedly paid in beef chunks at one point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13873095\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Photographs and memorabilia cover a table at Sweeney's home. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13873095\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-768x511.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photographs and memorabilia cover a table at Sweeney’s home. \u003ccite>(AP Photo/Eric Risberg)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sweeney is an avid marathoner who regularly runs San Francisco’s annual “Bay to Breakers” race in costume. He has photos of himself with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, actress Sharon Stone and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Dolly Parton was “really cool,” he recalls, and Prince had purple suitcases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the famous he remembers. Sweeney still cracks up over the guest from Texas who double-parked outside the hotel and waved at a cable car — which runs on fixed rails — “to go around” her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a doorman, you’re a greeter, a porter, a guide, a ringmaster, a constable, a valet and a concierge all in one gig,” he said. “I’ll miss it, the people. You’re dealing with positive people all day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He marvels at how San Francisco has grown, from 11,000 hotel rooms when he started to more than three times that today. He’s not as enchanted, however, with the panhandlers who trail after tourists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The homeless problem is out of control, car break-ins, we never saw that growing up here,” he said. “It’s just so sad to see this happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweeney has been working since he was 14, selling soda alongside Tom Hanks at the Oakland Coliseum. He’s up for spending more time with his wife, Cindy, a hospitality executive whom he chatted up at a cable car stop about a quarter-century ago, and their four grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside the hotel, cable car training instructor Tsombe Wolfe hopped off for his own photo with Sweeney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tom’s the guy. Man, he’s the staple,” he says. “He’s an ambassador to the city, just like the cable cars.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The other “Nick of Time” award winners that year were San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana and nimble-fingered receiver Dwight Clark for their role in “The Catch,” which led to the team’s first Super Bowl win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweeney was frequently mentioned in the columns of Chronicle journalist and humorist Herb Caen, who memorialized San Francisco for decades. Getting a call from Caen, who died in 1997, was like getting a call from God, Sweeney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his San Francisco home, Sweeney stores news clippings, Beefeater memorabilia from fans, and previous costumes — he’s had 46, one for every year plus some spares. The term “Beefeater” may refer to the guards who taste-tested food for French kings, or to the Beefeaters who still stand guard at the Tower of London, allegedly paid in beef chunks at one point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13873095\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Photographs and memorabilia cover a table at Sweeney's home. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13873095\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1-768x511.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/1000-1.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photographs and memorabilia cover a table at Sweeney’s home. \u003ccite>(AP Photo/Eric Risberg)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Sweeney is an avid marathoner who regularly runs San Francisco’s annual “Bay to Breakers” race in costume.

Dolly Parton was “really cool,” he recalls, and Prince had purple suitcases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the famous he remembers. Sweeney still cracks up over the guest from Texas who double-parked outside the hotel and waved at a cable car — which runs on fixed rails — “to go around” her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a doorman, you’re a greeter, a porter, a guide, a ringmaster, a constable, a valet and a concierge all in one gig,” he said. “I’ll miss it, the people. You’re dealing with positive people all day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He marvels at how San Francisco has grown, from 11,000 hotel rooms when he started to more than three times that today. He’s not as enchanted, however, with the panhandlers who trail after tourists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The homeless problem is out of control, car break-ins, we never saw that growing up here,” he said. “It’s just so sad to see this happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweeney has been working since he was 14, selling soda alongside Tom Hanks at the Oakland Coliseum. He’s up for spending more time with his wife, Cindy, a hospitality executive whom he chatted up at a cable car stop about a quarter-century ago, and their four grandchildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside the hotel, cable car training instructor Tsombe Wolfe hopped off for his own photo with Sweeney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She worked with DeCaigny and “six or seven” of his predecessors over the decades before retiring last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tom brought a consistent management style based on the needs of the agency that was not capricious or ideological,” said Schulman. “He brought a public service lens to the arts commission, really seeing it as serving the public. He also brought kindness to the job.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his tenure, DeCaigny doubled the arts commission’s annual budget to $40 million. He helped to pass Proposition E, which secured funds from the city’s hotel tax revenue for arts and culture purposes in perpetuity. He adopted the arts commission’s first Racial Equity Plan, and removed the contentious, colonialist \u003ci>Early Days\u003c/i> statue from San Francisco’s Civic Center, among other accomplishments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What made Tom a great leader and highly respected colleague was that he could play nice in the sandbox while still fiercely advocating for the arts,” said City Librarian Michael Lambert. “His strong support of the removal of the \u003ci>Early Days\u003c/i> sculpture will have a lasting positive impact for years to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But DeCaigny regrets his inability to secure federal funding to create affordable housing for artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Artists are a protected class for affordable housing,” DeCaigny said. “But we have not gotten political commitment to get federal dollars for this. So we haven’t yet been able to break ground on any projects, though we do have some sites identified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeCaigny said he hopes his successor will make obtaining affordable housing for artists a priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also had to deal with fraught city hall politics, most recently around the the city’s stalled plans to build a monument to Maya Angelou outside the main branch of the public library. DeCaigny said his team is working through the issues. He said he expects the new callout to artists for the commission to go out before his last day, on Friday, Jan. 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Life has arguably become tougher for artists and arts organizations in San Francisco since DeCaigny took office in 2012. Although the Prop E win will secure more dollars for cultural activities in the city going forwards, the increasing out-migration of the cultural community owing to ever-escalating rents, as well as growing disparities between the haves and have-nots, is likely make the next director of cultural affairs’ job particularly challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the local arts community agree the new hire will have their work cut out for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s my hope that the next director will take steps to address and support affordable space,” said Moy Eng, who runs the Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), a San Francisco-based affordable art-space development nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a clear vision for the city—not just the arts—we are so fragile,” said Yerba Buena Center for the Arts CEO, Deborah Cullinan. “The arts community is so critical and also decimated. We need a bold leader who can engage city leadership around vision and the critical role that artists play in any vibrant city.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He said he expects the new callout to artists for the commission to go out before his last day, on Friday, Jan. 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Life has arguably become tougher for artists and arts organizations in San Francisco since DeCaigny took office in 2012. Although the Prop E win will secure more dollars for cultural activities in the city going forwards, the increasing out-migration of the cultural community owing to ever-escalating rents, as well as growing disparities between the haves and have-nots, is likely make the next director of cultural affairs’ job particularly challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the local arts community agree the new hire will have their work cut out for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s my hope that the next director will take steps to address and support affordable space,” said Moy Eng, who runs the Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), a San Francisco-based affordable art-space development nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a clear vision for the city—not just the arts—we are so fragile,” said Yerba Buena Center for the Arts CEO, Deborah Cullinan. “The arts community is so critical and also decimated. We need a bold leader who can engage city leadership around vision and the critical role that artists play in any vibrant city.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Scott Wiener and a host of co-authors, aims to tackle California’s housing crisis by requiring cities to allow dramatically intensified development near “high-quality” transit stops such as BART and Caltrain stations and along corridors served by frequent commute bus service. The bill also includes new development requirements for job centers not yet served by rapid transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact would border on the revolutionary. Both major cities and surrounding suburbs would face a state mandate to allow multistory, multifamily developments in many neighborhoods long zoned predominantly for single-family housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener and the bill’s sponsors, led by the California YIMBY pro-development group and including the California Association of Realtors and the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, argue the legislation would help ease the state’s estimated 3.5 million-unit housing deficit and is crucial to meet its ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has been derailed twice, first as SB 827, when it failed its first committee vote, and then last May, when state Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-La Cañada-Flintridge, used his authority as chair of the upper chamber’s Appropriations Committee to defer action on the bill until this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In shelving the bill, Portantino called it “a well-intentioned effort to help solve our state’s housing crisis” but one that might trigger a chain of unintended consequences, including discouraging cities from developing new transit systems that would require higher-density zoning along their routes.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"sb-50\" label=\"More on SB 50\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portantino said he preferred offering cities incentives rather than imposing mandates and hoped delaying Wiener’s bill until 2020 would “result in a more targeted legislative effort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendments Wiener and his allies formally introduced late Monday night attempt to answer concerns heard from cities and advocates for lower-income Californians: first by offering local governments some flexibility in how they implement SB 50’s requirements, and second by including a clause that would ensure low-income residents are given priority for the new housing units the bill requires in their neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s new language on local flexibility would give cities the option of crafting their own housing plans as long as those blueprints create at least the same number of new units as SB 50 would. To ensure that housing commitment is met, city plans would be subject to review by the state Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities’ plans would also be barred from resulting in increased vehicle travel and would be required to distribute new housing equally among affluent and lower-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A city could not just push all of its development into some remote area that’s not connected to jobs or transit,” Wiener said in a Monday media call on the amendments. “And a city could not say we’re going to put all of our density into low-income neighborhoods and communities of color but maintain more low-density zoning in more affluent areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “neighborhood preference” provision in the amended bill would give local residents priority for 40% of new units developed under the law and designated for low, very low and extremely low income households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those provisions leave the heart of SB 50, most of which would take effect Jan. 1, 2023, largely unchanged. The bill’s central proposal — requiring cities in the 15 counties with populations of 600,000 or more to approve buildings in the four- to five-story range near train stations and along the busiest bus lines — is intact. In the Bay Area, that requirement would apply in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In less populous counties, cities with 50,000 or more residents would be required to allow buildings 15 feet higher than the current maximum for residential or mixed-use structures. Bay Area municipalities that could be affected include San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Vallejo, Fairfield and Vacaville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill leaves in place a provision that would end single-family zoning throughout the state by allowing property owners to build up to four units of housing on vacant parcels or to convert existing buildings into fourplexes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would require projects approved under the bill to include 15% to 25% lower-income units, depending on the project size. The bill would also seek to prevent tenant displacement by restricting demolition of existing rental housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also continues to grant a five-year delay for implementation, until 2026, for areas designated as “sensitive communities” — those peopled mostly by renters and low-income residents and which may have experienced high rates of racial segregation, poverty and exposure to environmental hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said Monday the changes in the bill reflect intensive consultation with local government officials “who have said, ‘We understand what you’re trying to do with this bill, we support what you’re trying to do with this bill, but can you please give us some additional flexibility, because every city has unique features.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation will come up for a final vote in the state Senate by the end of January and will still face a series of hurdles, including a lengthy Assembly amendment process, before becoming law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he is confident that with an increasingly diverse collection of supporters — including business, labor, community groups, affordable housing groups, environmental groups, senior organizations and college student associations — the bill is gaining momentum.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11793596,news_11793325,news_11793117\" label=\"Bay Area transportation coverage\"]\u003cbr>\n“I think what it says is that more and more people understand that while SB 50 is not a silver bullet … it’s a big part of addressing our housing crisis,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the SB 50 amendments will win over local officials and their constituents who have fought Wiener’s proposal from the beginning and hold sway with his legislative colleagues.

AB 1482 applies only to housing built in the last 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s measure would apply to all rental units in the city — which number 35,000, including single room occupancies (or SROs) — regardless of when they were built. Today in San Francisco, only landlords with apartments built before 1979 must provide just cause for evicting tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure limits the reasons for terminating a residential tenancy, offers more relocation funds and provides additional tenant protections. It’s the latest \u003ca href=\"https://sf.curbed.com/2018/6/7/17437548/san-francisco-prop-election-eviction-lawyer\">effort\u003c/a> to limit evictions in the last few years amid a growing affordable housing crisis, Supervisor Matt Haney and housing advocates say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now is the time to correct this inequity and treat all units the same. This legislation will provide protections that will ensure that nobody is under threat of an arbitrary eviction in San Francisco,” said Haney, who drafted the legislation. “This is something activists have been fighting for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney said the ordinance would not affect Ellis Act evictions, which occur when landlords evict tenants if they want to leave the rental business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most cities in California don’t require landlords to give just cause before evicting tenants, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.tenantstogether.org/resources/list-rent-control-ordinances-city\">Tenants Together\u003c/a>, a statewide coalition of local tenant organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In San Francisco, you see all these protests because tenants have some rights here. In most of the state, the landlord can evict you for any reason at any time,” said Sarah Sherburn-Zimmer, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifteen percent of renters were threatened with eviction over a five-year period, according to a 2018 \u003ca href=\"https://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Housing-Needs-and-Trends-Report-2018.pdf\">survey\u003c/a> by the San Francisco Planning Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several homeless and housing advocates spoke Monday before the Rules Committee of the Board of Supervisors in support of the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='evictions' label='Related Coverage']“Whether or not someone stays in their home should not depend on when that home is built,” said Cynthia Fong, a community organizer at the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco. “Every single interaction in our tenant counseling clinic begins with: ‘What year was your home built?’ And that should not be the way that it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janan New, executive director of the San Francisco Apartment Association, said she questions whether the ordinance would hold up to legal scrutiny and thought the measure would likely make it more difficult for landlords to manage their properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landlord groups have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11786677/evictions-continue-to-surge-as-tenants-wait-for-california-rent-cap-law-to-take-effect\">said\u003c/a> the state measure to curb evictions has made it more difficult for building owners to maintain and renovate their buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The full Board of Supervisors will vote on the measure on Dec. 10. If it passes and Mayor London Breed signs it into law, it is expected to go into effect 30 days later.\u003c/p>\n\n",
