The percentage of Asians is expected to fall from 34 percent to 28 percent. The Latino population is forecast to shrink from 15 percent to 12 percent. The city's dwindling number of African-Americans, currently down to 6 percent, should remain the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is the only one of the five central Bay Area counties where ethnic and racial diversity will actually decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a story about gentrification and rising housing costs and wages not keeping up,\" says Treuhaft. These parallel trends, with the tech boom as a backdrop, translate into an exodus of families and lower-income and working-class people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She adds that the percentage of young people in San Francisco who are white jumped to 33 percent in 2014, compared with 22 percent in 1990 -- an unusual trend in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Screenshot-2015-04-23-20.20.29.png\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10500958\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Screenshot-2015-04-23-20.20.29-800x585.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2015-04-23 20.20.29\" width=\"800\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Screenshot-2015-04-23-20.20.29-800x585.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Screenshot-2015-04-23-20.20.29-400x293.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/Screenshot-2015-04-23-20.20.29.png 917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study is just the latest piece of evidence chronicling the huge shifts in San Francisco and the five-county Bay Area, which ranks second in diversity nationwide, trailing only the Vallejo-Fairfield area. Titled \"An Equity Profile of the San Francisco Bay Area Region,\" the report offers a demographic portrait over the decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In 1980, the region did not have a single county that was majority people of color, and San Francisco County had the highest percentage people of color. Now, all counties except for Marin are majority people of color. By 2040, the percentage people of color is projected to decline in San Francisco while it continues to rise in Marin. In 2040, seven in every 10 San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa County residents are expected to be people of color.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"I was surprised and disappointed to see that divergence with San Francisco,\" Treuhaft says. \"I was also surprised to see the extent of racial and gender inequities by wages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, which was prepared for the San Francisco Foundation, draws on data from public and private sources, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among its findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>There has been dramatic growth and change in the Bay Area in the past 35 years, with people of color increasing from 34 percent to 58 percent of the population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A large racial generation gap exists between the region's mainly white senior citizens and increasingly diverse young population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Bay Area has grown from 3.3 million to 4.3 million residents since 1980, with people of color contributing 97 percent of the growth in the 1980s and all the growth in the 1990s and 2000s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Immigration played a bigger role in the increase of the region's Asian population -- 52 percent from foreign-born residents -- than its Latino population, of which only 26 percent were not born in the United States.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>By 2040, 69 percent of Bay Area residents are projected to be people of color, making the region No. 19 among the 150 largest metros for share of the nonwhite population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>College-educated women of color with a bachelor's degree or higher earn $14 an hour less than their white male counterparts.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Income inequality has risen dramatically all over the Bay Area in the last few decades -- more so than the United States as a whole -- to the point where it's now 14th among the country's 150 largest metro regions, up from 45th position in 1979. The wages of the highest-paid workers have increased significantly, while those of the lowest-paid workers have declined, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the unemployment rate is much higher for people of color, and more than one in four people without jobs live in neighborhoods where at least 82 percent of residents are nonwhite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that the percentage of Bay Area households with middle-class incomes has shrunk since 1979 -- from 40 to 36 percent -- but they've become more racially and ethnically diverse. About one in every nine Bay Area residents lives below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, high-wage workers have flourished: Incomes have more than doubled for those with jobs in professional and technical services and finance, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as being prepared for the future, the Bay Area will be facing a skills gap unless education levels increase, according to the study: \"By 2020, 43 percent of the state's jobs will require an associate degree or above. Only 38 percent of U.S.-born Latinos, 35 percent of blacks, 31 percent of Native Americans and 14 percent of Latino immigrants have that level of education.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other tidbits from the report: The Bay Area is less dependent on cars than almost anywhere else in the country. Poverty has increased faster in the suburbs. Segregation is steadily decreasing. And half of Bay Area renters spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people like Treuhaft, the flood of data takes on personal meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, who live near 24th Street in the Mission with their 2-year-old son, had hoped to buy a house in the neighborhood. But at this point they know that's simply delusional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen housing prices increase beyond our means,\" says Treuhaft, who grew up in Ohio. \"If my family was evicted now, we couldn't even afford to rent in the Mission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's dismayed by the study's predictions for what San Francisco will become. But they are, after all, only projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Losing our diversity is a serious risk in the long run,\" Treuhaft says. \"But it's not hopeless. We can change this trajectory through strong leadership and different policies. And immigration will play a big role. There's a lot San Francisco could do now to ensure that its current diverse population continues to live and thrive.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Titled \"An Equity Profile of the San Francisco Bay Area Region,\" the report offers a demographic portrait over the decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In 1980, the region did not have a single county that was majority people of color, and San Francisco County had the highest percentage people of color. Now, all counties except for Marin are majority people of color. By 2040, the percentage people of color is projected to decline in San Francisco while it continues to rise in Marin. In 2040, seven in every 10 San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa County residents are expected to be people of color.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"I was surprised and disappointed to see that divergence with San Francisco,\" Treuhaft says. \"I was also surprised to see the extent of racial and gender inequities by wages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, which was prepared for the San Francisco Foundation, draws on data from public and private sources, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among its findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>There has been dramatic growth and change in the Bay Area in the past 35 years, with people of color increasing from 34 percent to 58 percent of the population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A large racial generation gap exists between the region's mainly white senior citizens and increasingly diverse young population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Bay Area has grown from 3.3 million to 4.3 million residents since 1980, with people of color contributing 97 percent of the growth in the 1980s and all the growth in the 1990s and 2000s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Immigration played a bigger role in the increase of the region's Asian population -- 52 percent from foreign-born residents -- than its Latino population, of which only 26 percent were not born in the United States.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>By 2040, 69 percent of Bay Area residents are projected to be people of color, making the region No. 19 among the 150 largest metros for share of the nonwhite population.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>College-educated women of color with a bachelor's degree or higher earn $14 an hour less than their white male counterparts.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Income inequality has risen dramatically all over the Bay Area in the last few decades -- more so than the United States as a whole -- to the point where it's now 14th among the country's 150 largest metro regions, up from 45th position in 1979. The wages of the highest-paid workers have increased significantly, while those of the lowest-paid workers have declined, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the unemployment rate is much higher for people of color, and more than one in four people without jobs live in neighborhoods where at least 82 percent of residents are nonwhite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that the percentage of Bay Area households with middle-class incomes has shrunk since 1979 -- from 40 to 36 percent -- but they've become more racially and ethnically diverse. About one in every nine Bay Area residents lives below the poverty line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, high-wage workers have flourished: Incomes have more than doubled for those with jobs in professional and technical services and finance, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as being prepared for the future, the Bay Area will be facing a skills gap unless education levels increase, according to the study: \"By 2020, 43 percent of the state's jobs will require an associate degree or above. Only 38 percent of U.S.-born Latinos, 35 percent of blacks, 31 percent of Native Americans and 14 percent of Latino immigrants have that level of education.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other tidbits from the report: The Bay Area is less dependent on cars than almost anywhere else in the country. Poverty has increased faster in the suburbs. Segregation is steadily decreasing. And half of Bay Area renters spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people like Treuhaft, the flood of data takes on personal meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, who live near 24th Street in the Mission with their 2-year-old son, had hoped to buy a house in the neighborhood. But at this point they know that's simply delusional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen housing prices increase beyond our means,\" says Treuhaft, who grew up in Ohio. \"If my family was evicted now, we couldn't even afford to rent in the Mission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's dismayed by the study's predictions for what San Francisco will become. But they are, after all, only projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The ads point out the company was responsible for $12 million in hotel taxes over the past year. A typical message:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dear Public Libary System,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We hope you use the $12 million in hotel taxes to keep the library open later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Love,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2015/10/21/passive-aggressive-pro-airbnb-ads-appear-on-muni-shleters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As SFWeekly reports\u003c/a>, that particular message drew a riposte from a San Francisco State professor who ran some numbers and came up with a guess that maybe Airbnb’s $12 million could keep libraries open a couple minutes later every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignleft\">\n\u003ca id=\"correction\">Correction\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThis post originally stated that Airbnb’s “Dear San Francisco” ads were part of its campaign to defeat Proposition F, a measure that would place new limits on short-term rentals in the city. In fact, the ads don’t reference Proposition F or the election, and the company says they were posted independent of the “No on F” campaign.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Airbnb ads were so tone deaf, in fact, as to inspire curiosity about whether they were a hoax. Really — would a company touting a $25 billion valuation launch a campaign reminding the locals how grateful they should be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, that’s just what the company did. In a brief apology reported by SFWeekly, \u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/21/that-airbnb-ad/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TechCrunch\u003c/a> and others, the company conceded that it had goofed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The intent was to show the hotel tax contribution from our hosts and guests, which is roughly $1 million per month. It was the wrong tone and we apologize to anyone who was offended. These ads are being taken down immediately.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So the signs will be history.

Incumbent Ross Mirkarimi is seeking re-election after a first term overshadowed by a series of scandals. His main challenger is Vicki Hennessy, who has worked the bulk of her career in the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department and the city’s Department of Emergency Management. The third candidate is John Robinson, who worked for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department for 20 years and now runs a private security firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department is responsible for the county’s jails and for law enforcement at City Hall, in the civil and criminal courts, and at public hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, incumbent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incumbent Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi is on the defensive over several scandals that have beleaguered his department since he took office in 2012.

Of the three candidates, Hennessy has raised the most campaign dollars -- over $244,000 as of mid-September. Her endorsements are also the most numerous and include the Deputy Sheriffs' Association and the San Francisco Sheriff’s Managers and Supervisors Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hennessy said she has the executive and management experience to run the Sheriff's Department best: “I want to return proactive leadership to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>John Robinson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Robinson worked as a correctional officer at San Quentin State Prison and later for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department for 20 years.

Robinson has kept a relatively low profile in this race, raising just over $16,000 as of mid-September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson said he wants to address racial and economic disparities in the criminal justice system and reduce the high rate of incarceration of African-Americans and Hispanics: “I am the one who is intending to identify and promulgate a new path for San Francisco.

Lopez-Sanchez had been convicted of immigration violations and deported multiple times, but San Francisco’s sanctuary laws allow local law enforcement to refrain from participating in federal immigration enforcement. Shortly after his release, Lopez-Sanchez was charged with killing Kate Steinle on July 1 as she walked along the city’s waterfront, generating national debate over sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> Do you stand by your decision not to contact federal authorities before letting him [Lopez-Sanchez] go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I do. And I think it would be a real mistake for San Francisco to get sucked into this, where politicians at City Hall are professing their support for sanctuary city yet telling me with a wink and a nod to practice something different. ... There really is a schizophrenia between our municipal laws like the one signed into effect by Mayor Lee called “Due Process For All” in 2013 and how it limits that contact with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], and the changing federal procedures of immigration and customs and enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> The takeaway is there has to be a balance of public safety along with making sure we’re providing constitutional protections. …. I think he [Mirkarimi] erred on the wrong side of public safety in this matter. But I want to say one more thing, and that is that nobody could have known that Francisco-Lopez would go out and what would happen would happen. What we did know, though, is that he was a career criminal and we were releasing him into a city where he had no money. He had no relationships. He had nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> How would you have handled it differently if you were the sheriff? Would you have picked up the phone and called ICE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robinson:\u003c/strong> I certainly would have.

Incumbent Ross Mirkarimi is seeking re-election after a first term overshadowed by a series of scandals. His main challenger is Vicki Hennessy, who has worked the bulk of her career in the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department and the city’s Department of Emergency Management.

Hennessy also directed the city’s emergency services for several years before retiring in 2010.

Robinson has kept a relatively low profile in this race, raising just over $16,000 as of mid-September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson said he wants to address racial and economic disparities in the criminal justice system and reduce the high rate of incarceration of African-Americans and Hispanics: “I am the one who is intending to identify and promulgate a new path for San Francisco.

Lopez-Sanchez had been convicted of immigration violations and deported multiple times, but San Francisco’s sanctuary laws allow local law enforcement to refrain from participating in federal immigration enforcement. Shortly after his release, Lopez-Sanchez was charged with killing Kate Steinle on July 1 as she walked along the city’s waterfront, generating national debate over sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> Do you stand by your decision not to contact federal authorities before letting him [Lopez-Sanchez] go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I do. And I think it would be a real mistake for San Francisco to get sucked into this, where politicians at City Hall are professing their support for sanctuary city yet telling me with a wink and a nod to practice something different. ... There really is a schizophrenia between our municipal laws like the one signed into effect by Mayor Lee called “Due Process For All” in 2013 and how it limits that contact with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], and the changing federal procedures of immigration and customs and enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> The takeaway is there has to be a balance of public safety along with making sure we’re providing constitutional protections. …. I think he [Mirkarimi] erred on the wrong side of public safety in this matter. But I want to say one more thing, and that is that nobody could have known that Francisco-Lopez would go out and what would happen would happen. What we did know, though, is that he was a career criminal and we were releasing him into a city where he had no money. He had no relationships. He had nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> How would you have handled it differently if you were the sheriff? Would you have picked up the phone and called ICE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robinson:\u003c/strong> I certainly would have.

Both sides agree that it's crucial to develop a policy for how -- and how long -- images captured on these cameras would be retained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> There are cameras in many of the new jails and they’re in most places where there’s prisoner access. And I do think that body cameras in this case would actually help, and I do think that’s something -- particularly in this linear jail, this one-style jail that we still have left in our resources -- I think it’s important to take a look at that. I think body cameras are a tool; they’re not the answer. I think accountability, expectations, working day-to-day and no complacency [are the answer].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I think it could be a problem altogether with culture inside prisons and jails throughout the United States. That’s why I’m the first sheriff in California to ask for body cameras to come in the jail system. I find it incomplete that President Obama and everybody else wants body cameras fitted on law enforcement on the streets of America. I can make 10 times the reasons as to why body cameras should be in every prison and jail in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch the exchange \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchTiri_I0U&feature=youtu.be&t=17m15s\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10727458\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10727458 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"John Robinson\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Robinson \u003ccite>(KQED Newsroom)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"politics\">\u003c/a>Politics and Communication\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions between Mayor Ed Lee and Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi have been ongoing since 2012, when Mayor Lee tried to remove Mirkarimi from office as he defended himself from domestic violence charges.

I think that what we’ve had is some leadership by headlines, particularly in The Examiner, and it’s been interesting to see that happen. I think that leadership requires effective communication but communication is sometimes, it’s listening, it’s not just talking but listening.

He said he had to lay off three clerks and that sales slumped throughout the summer. The store's summer slump comes amid an overall gun sales surge in the state, according to California Department of Justice statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California DOJ reported 931,000 guns sold last year— three times the number sold in 2004 and the second highest annual number since the department began keeping sales records in 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Alcairo said, he and the High Bridge Arms owner tired of the continued opposition and mountains of paperwork required by the San Francisco Police Department, state Department of Justice and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alcairo grew up near the store and says he is angry and disappointed with San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the city that defended gay marriage and fights for unpopular causes like medical marijuana,\" he said. \"Where's my support?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Champion pistol shooter Bob Chow opened the store in 1952, four years after competing for the United States in the summer Olympics in London. Chow sold the store to Andy Takahashi in 1988. Chow died in 2003. Takahashi, who also owns the building that houses the store, declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alcairo said the owner shouldn't have a problem attracting another type of business in economically booming San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The quirky city fixture attracted gun enthusiasts from around the world, many posing in photos with Alcairo and his pistol-packing clerks. Alcairo said professional athletes would visit the store when playing in San Francisco for the novelty of buying a weapon — and a T-shirt — from the city's last gun store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"High Bridge has always taken care of me,\" said Chris Cheng, a San Francisco resident who calls it \"my home store.\" Cheng won a $100,000 cash prize and a professional marksman contract after winning the History Channel's \"Top Shot\" competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always been a challenge for the store to do business in San Francisco,\" Cheng said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Dan Brekke and Sam Harnett contributed to this report.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
