His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

After years of drug-user-led activism, the government approved it as a pilot, creating a place with wrap-around addiction services under the same roof, and mandated scientific evaluations on the impact from the start. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy, who is part of a team that researches Insite, says it points to the benefits of supervised injection. The research was observational, drawing from unique datasets. Since 1996, well before Insite, researchers had followed 1500 active drug users in the city as part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC535533/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one of the largest long-term studies\u003c/a> of drug users in North America. They then recruited 1,050 people at Insite, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bccsu.ca/seosi/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">followed them over time\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since opening in 2003, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.vch.ca/public-health/harm-reduction/supervised-consumption-sites/insite-user-statistics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">facility has supervised\u003c/a> more than 3.6 million injections and responded to more than 6,000 overdoses. No one has ever died there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19378451\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">found no signs\u003c/a> of a so called \"honey pot effect,\" at Insite, meaning it didn't increase or encourage drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"//www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62353-7/abstract?code=lancet-site\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study published in Lancet\u003c/a>, and included in the most recent review of evidence by criminologists, Milloy and other researchers found that the fatal overdose rate sharply decreased in and around the immediate area of the site. Additional evaluations from Milloy's group and \u003ca href=\"http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/publications/year/2011/decreasing-HIV-in-IDU-population.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the regional health ministry\u003c/a> found that Insite \u003ca href=\"http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0003351\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">averted about 50 deaths\u003c/a> in the first three to four years of operation; that people were less likely to engage in behaviors that would lead to HIV infections; and, that those who used Insite were \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2007.01818.x\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more likely to initiate detoxing\u003c/a> from drugs and access treatment like methadone, compared to those who weren't using the facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That might seem odd to people. You know, you give someone a safer, cleaner, warmer drier place to inject and they end up going into addiction treatment,\" Milloy says. \"It's a place where they can access healthcare, and where their exposure to an increasingly toxic drug supply can be managed and mitigated in an effective sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people working in the field, the value of supervised injection facilities transcends the debate over death or crime statistics, because it offers something people who use drugs may not have experienced before: a non-judgmental place that accepts them for who they are. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's about making a space where drug users are allowed to feel like people,\" says Darwin Fisher, Insite's longtime program coordinator. \"We're also mindful that this is a respite from the street and at times it might be difficult for people to leave the only situation that feels vaguely safe for them in a day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy concurs, describing Insite as \"a place which is an official healthcare setting which is not judgmental, which does not stigmatize them for their drug use, and which accepts that they are people first and foremost.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy says studying supervised injection presents challenges. Early on, they considered setting up the gold standard for a study — a randomized trial — but that would mean separating a sample of drug users into two groups, one that gets access to Insight, and one that doesn't. He says denying a potentially life-saving service to some people seemed unethical. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the reason we chose the observational framework,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Sharon Larson, a longtime public health researcher who recently reviewed the evidence on supervised injection and assessed their potential impact for the city of Philadelphia, questions still remain. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insite, she says \"was a great pioneering start.\" It demonstrated making a difference for those who used the site. But, is it generalizable and directly replicable in other places?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larson, a professor at Thomas Jefferson University and director of the Main Line Health Center for Population Health Research at Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, \u003ca href=\"https://dbhids.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/OTF_LarsonS_PHLReportOnSCF_Dec2017.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">concluded in a report\u003c/a> that the science is still limited. In part, she says, that stems from the challenge of studying an illicit behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a really hard population to count,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a citywide level, it's hard to know the size of the actual baseline population of drug users. That leaves unanswered how many sites would be needed to have a broader community impact. Plus, where should they go? Who might benefit most from a site, and what's the most effective way to bring them in? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larson's models estimate a supervised injection site in Philadelphia could prevent dozens overdose deaths annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It does not give me pause about developing these injection sites,\" Larson says. \"What it tells me is if we want to demonstrate that this is an effective strategy for harm reduction, one of many, that we ought to be very thoughtful about how we develop data to answer the important questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a reporting partnership with NPR, WHYY's health show \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://whyy.org/episodes/crisis-mode/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Pulse\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> and Kaiser Health News. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Elana Gordon is 2018-19 Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT.

After years of drug-user-led activism, the government approved it as a pilot, creating a place with wrap-around addiction services under the same roof, and mandated scientific evaluations on the impact from the start. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy, who is part of a team that researches Insite, says it points to the benefits of supervised injection. The research was observational, drawing from unique datasets. Since 1996, well before Insite, researchers had followed 1500 active drug users in the city as part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC535533/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one of the largest long-term studies\u003c/a> of drug users in North America. They then recruited 1,050 people at Insite, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bccsu.ca/seosi/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">followed them over time\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since opening in 2003, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.vch.ca/public-health/harm-reduction/supervised-consumption-sites/insite-user-statistics\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">facility has supervised\u003c/a> more than 3.6 million injections and responded to more than 6,000 overdoses. No one has ever died there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19378451\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">found no signs\u003c/a> of a so called \"honey pot effect,\" at Insite, meaning it didn't increase or encourage drug use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"//www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62353-7/abstract?code=lancet-site\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study published in Lancet\u003c/a>, and included in the most recent review of evidence by criminologists, Milloy and other researchers found that the fatal overdose rate sharply decreased in and around the immediate area of the site. Additional evaluations from Milloy's group and \u003ca href=\"http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/publications/year/2011/decreasing-HIV-in-IDU-population.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the regional health ministry\u003c/a> found that Insite \u003ca href=\"http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0003351\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">averted about 50 deaths\u003c/a> in the first three to four years of operation; that people were less likely to engage in behaviors that would lead to HIV infections; and, that those who used Insite were \u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2007.01818.x\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more likely to initiate detoxing\u003c/a> from drugs and access treatment like methadone, compared to those who weren't using the facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That might seem odd to people. You know, you give someone a safer, cleaner, warmer drier place to inject and they end up going into addiction treatment,\" Milloy says. \"It's a place where they can access healthcare, and where their exposure to an increasingly toxic drug supply can be managed and mitigated in an effective sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people working in the field, the value of supervised injection facilities transcends the debate over death or crime statistics, because it offers something people who use drugs may not have experienced before: a non-judgmental place that accepts them for who they are. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's about making a space where drug users are allowed to feel like people,\" says Darwin Fisher, Insite's longtime program coordinator. \"We're also mindful that this is a respite from the street and at times it might be difficult for people to leave the only situation that feels vaguely safe for them in a day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy concurs, describing Insite as \"a place which is an official healthcare setting which is not judgmental, which does not stigmatize them for their drug use, and which accepts that they are people first and foremost.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Milloy says studying supervised injection presents challenges. Early on, they considered setting up the gold standard for a study — a randomized trial — but that would mean separating a sample of drug users into two groups, one that gets access to Insight, and one that doesn't. He says denying a potentially life-saving service to some people seemed unethical. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the reason we chose the observational framework,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Sharon Larson, a longtime public health researcher who recently reviewed the evidence on supervised injection and assessed their potential impact for the city of Philadelphia, questions still remain. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insite, she says \"was a great pioneering start.\" It demonstrated making a difference for those who used the site. But, is it generalizable and directly replicable in other places?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larson, a professor at Thomas Jefferson University and director of the Main Line Health Center for Population Health Research at Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, \u003ca href=\"https://dbhids.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/OTF_LarsonS_PHLReportOnSCF_Dec2017.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">concluded in a report\u003c/a> that the science is still limited. In part, she says, that stems from the challenge of studying an illicit behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a really hard population to count,\" she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a citywide level, it's hard to know the size of the actual baseline population of drug users. That leaves unanswered how many sites would be needed to have a broader community impact. Plus, where should they go? Who might benefit most from a site, and what's the most effective way to bring them in? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larson's models estimate a supervised injection site in Philadelphia could prevent dozens overdose deaths annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It does not give me pause about developing these injection sites,\" Larson says. \"What it tells me is if we want to demonstrate that this is an effective strategy for harm reduction, one of many, that we ought to be very thoughtful about how we develop data to answer the important questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a reporting partnership with NPR, WHYY's health show \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://whyy.org/episodes/crisis-mode/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Pulse\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> and Kaiser Health News. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The ad features former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and says: “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.” Kaepernick triggered a furious backlash from President Trump and others in 2016 when he refused to stand during the national anthem in a move to raise awareness of police violence against African-Americans.

Meanwhile, an explosive op-ed by an unnamed senior official in the Trump administration claims the president’s own staff members have been trying to stop him from acting in “a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED government and politics reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Rory Little, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC Hastings College of the Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Safe Injection Sites\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco could become the first U.S. city to facilitate the use of intravenous drugs under medical supervision.

The ad features former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and says: “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.” Kaepernick triggered a furious backlash from President Trump and others in 2016 when he refused to stand during the national anthem in a move to raise awareness of police violence against African-Americans. The response to this week’s ad campaign has been similarly polarized.

The department said its investigation is ongoing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two short videos of the episode, which occurred about 8:45 p.m. Thursday on an N-Judah light-rail vehicle near 34th Avenue and Judah Street in the city’s Outer Sunset neighborhood, were tweeted late Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AnnaMSterling/status/1035391641861799936\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the videos depicts an adult white male who has another person in a headlock on one of the vehicle’s seats. Other passengers approach, exclaiming, “He’s a kid!” and “Over music?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second video shows the first adult and a second, also apparently white, trying repeatedly to force a younger male off the vehicle through an open side door. The younger man, who appears to be a person of color, struggles to stay on the car and screams “Stop!” several times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos were posted by Anna Sterling, an independent journalist and part-time producer for KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said on Twitter that she had obtained the video from a witness who got off the Muni car at the same stop as the young man to offer aid. “He is OK,” Sterling reported early Friday via tweet. “He was shaken up after the incident for sure though. We are following up this story and will share soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn’t apparent from the videos what led to the incident. Police said they planned to review Muni surveillance footage, “which may show what occurred prior to the encounter seen in the cellphone videos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni said on Twitter that the N-Judah operator was aware of the incident as it was occurring and notified police. The agency said it had given the SFPD surveillance video from the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/sfmta_muni/status/1035555365084061696\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Department said in a statement that about 8:45 p.m. Thursday, it “received several calls regarding an assault that occurred on a Muni light rail vehicle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officers arrived on scene and made contact with two adult male subjects,” the statement said. “During our investigation, both subjects admitted to being involved in a mutual physical altercation, but neither party chose to press charges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Grace Gatpandan, a department spokeswoman, said later Friday that police had also located and interviewed the apparent victim, who declined to press charges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have an open and active investigation into what happened,” Gatpandan said, including “looking at the circumstances” that led to the incident. She added that if police find probable cause a crime was committed, those involved could still face arrest. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Katy Tang, who represents the neighborhood where the incident occurred, called the video “very disturbing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Violence should never be the answer to resolving issues,” she said. “I hope that riders will seek assistance from Muni operators if there are ever any issues on Muni because they are more well-equipped to handle these problems and call for further back-up if needed.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFPD asked anyone with information about the incident to call the department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated Friday to include Friday afternoon comment from the San Francisco Police Department and Supervisor Katy Tang.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated Saturday to include details from interviews given by Dexter Lotz, the man fellow riders tried to throw off an N-Judah train car. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Alas, neither of them welcomed you in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: courier\">Instead, it was Sonoma State University, located in the City of Rohnert Park — who had ever heard of that? Rohnert Park was most definitely not San Francisco, but it was mercifully close to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: courier\">With the assistance of Golden Gate Transit, and a dear new friend of a friend, a hip and kind hairdresser with a tiny apartment in the Mission District, you set out to capture your personal version of the California Dream.

During the early morning of March 5, traffic police towed and impounded his black 2005 Mercedes Benz -- for having too many overdue parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and there was a guy behind me. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing behind my car?’” Kayode said while standing in the lobby of the Next Door homeless shelter in downtown San Francisco. “He says, ‘I'm just waiting for the tow truck to come get you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kayode, who now lives at Next Door, his car wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was how he earned a living, he said, delivering food through Uber Eats.

He said many of those cars belonged to poor people living in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pond helped file a lawsuit on Kayode's behalf to challenge the California law that allows cities to tow a car away if that car has five or more overdue parking tickets. Many cities follow that policy, and Pond said it’s unconstitutional in several ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government should not be allowed to take someone’s property without any notice and without a warrant, he said. That’s doubly true because these vehicles weren’t used in a crime, but were towed simply for financial reasons -- just to collect fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It makes absolutely no sense to take a homeless person's car, confiscating it, impounding it.

Parking officers just show up and take it away. And in the case of the homeless who live in their cars, city officials are taking their temporary home from them, which raises the stakes above the taking of a vehicle, Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re hoping that this case sets the precedent that the city should not take people’s only asset -- in this case their car -- for the purpose of satisfying a debt, based on just outstanding parking tickets,\" Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, officers towing a car with a homeless occupant will contact the police department and social services to help that person get services, according to Paul Rose, spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, who responded by email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be times when the [Homeless Outreach Team] will not be available to respond. If there is no urgency regarding the towing of the vehicle we will make an effort to delay the tow to allow services to respond,” Rose said. “We cannot completely avoid the removal of the vehicle as this would create an unintended exemption for vehicles that are in violation of city or state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/KayodeSmoking-800x590.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kayode, outside the Next Door homeless shelter in San Francisco on July 26, 2018.

Because losing those cars to impoundment can mean the loss of work and home, it can be a tipping point into a life on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, having their car towed for overdue parking tickets is a major annoyance and life disruption. But for homeless people, it’s a permanent loss, because most of them cannot afford to recover their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs escalate quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offenders must reimburse the tow charge, roughly $500. They also need to pay off their original tickets and the accrued fines on those tickets, which can be $1,000 or more. On top of all of that, it usually costs $71 for each day the car is stored at the tow yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kayode’s case, more than five months after his car was impounded, it would cost him more than $21,000 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s about $20,000 more than he paid for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, the city is towing the car to collect a debt, but in many cases where cars are unclaimed and eventually sold, the city doesn’t make much money on the sale, if anything. That’s because the tow yard has first dibs on any cash collected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the cities, though, it’s not about the money, according to UCLA political expert Zev Yaroslavsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's the credibility of the restrictions,” Yaroslavsky said. “If the restrictions were not enforced, then no one would comply with them. The reason you and I rush out to the parking meter when it’s about to expire, to put another quarter in there, is because we don’t want to pay $80 for the privilege of having overstayed our welcome by a minute.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689602\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/PreppingToTow-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The quickly escalating costs of having a vehicle impounded usually mean poor Californians can’t afford to get their cars back.

Because losing those cars to impoundment can mean the loss of work and home, it can be a tipping point into a life on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, having their car towed for overdue parking tickets is a major annoyance and life disruption. But for homeless people, it’s a permanent loss, because most of them cannot afford to recover their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs escalate quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offenders must reimburse the tow charge, roughly $500. They also need to pay off their original tickets and the accrued fines on those tickets, which can be $1,000 or more. On top of all of that, it usually costs $71 for each day the car is stored at the tow yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kayode’s case, more than five months after his car was impounded, it would cost him more than $21,000 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s about $20,000 more than he paid for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, the city is towing the car to collect a debt, but in many cases where cars are unclaimed and eventually sold, the city doesn’t make much money on the sale, if anything. That’s because the tow yard has first dibs on any cash collected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the cities, though, it’s not about the money, according to UCLA political expert Zev Yaroslavsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's the credibility of the restrictions,” Yaroslavsky said. “If the restrictions were not enforced, then no one would comply with them. The reason you and I rush out to the parking meter when it’s about to expire, to put another quarter in there, is because we don’t want to pay $80 for the privilege of having overstayed our welcome by a minute.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689602\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/PreppingToTow-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The quickly escalating costs of having a vehicle impounded usually mean poor Californians can’t afford to get their cars back.

She said she got out of jail in March 2016 and spent a year in treatment for her addiction to prescription medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it has been a struggle to find work, to reconnect with her 7-year-old daughter and to prepare for the birth of her second child, who is due early next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
