Also listed among reasons people don’t want the product: safety, distractibility and concerns about being mugged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an article about \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/2013/12/glasshole/\" target=\"_blank\">his experiences wearing Glass\u003c/a>, Honan wrote: \"Again and again, I made people very uncomfortable.

The city’s medical examiner’s office identified the man killed as Il Sun Im, 72.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Im reportedly was crossing Van Ness outside a crosswalk when a northbound driver hit him. Police say the driver remained at the scene, has cooperated with investigators and has not been cited or arrested because there was no evidence of criminal negligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advocacy group Walk San Francisco says Im was the fourth pedestrian to die along Van Ness this year. The group’s executive director, Nicole Schneider, says the mile-and-a-half stretch of Van Ness between Broadway and Mission is very wide, characterized by high-speed traffic, and is a known high-injury corridor for pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview Monday with KQED’s Ted Goldberg, Schneider said the ongoing pedestrian toll, which includes an estimated three pedestrian-vehicle accidents every day, shows the need to make the city’s transportation infrastructure safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a really old transportation system that unfortunately is failing us in terms of pedestrian injuries and all traffic injuries,” Schneider said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She went out of her way to praise San Francisco law enforcement agencies for increasing enforcement of traffic laws since the first of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police “are out on the streets more, they’re targeting the most dangerous streets, they’re targeting the most dangerous behaviors that will lead to fatalities,” Schneider said. “And the D.A.’s office has proposed a vehicular manslaughter unit to address all the at-fault collisions and drivers that have led to fatalities and take them more seriously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Ed Lee, the city’s Municipal Transportation Agency and the Board of Supervisors have signed on to a campaign called Vision Zero, which aims to eliminate all traffic deaths in San Francisco over the next decade. It includes plans for safety improvements along dozens of streets, including Van Ness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the impact of that commitment to make the streets safer has yet to be felt. Schneider noted that this year’s pedestrian death toll, seven, matches the number recorded by this date last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from Bay City News. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In California, there is a mandatory standard that all 911 calls be answered within 10 seconds. According to the protesting dispatchers, San Francisco doesn't always meet that standard.

Numbers are moving in the right direction.” He said the city has budgeted for 10 new dispatchers. Those employees are currently working their way through training and are expected to start soon, increasing the overall number of dispatchers to 170.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency dispatchers are members of \u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu1021.org\" target=\"_blank\">SEIU Local 1021\u003c/a>, a public workers union that represents over 13,000 employees in the city and county of San Francisco. SEIU is currently in negotiations with San Francisco on a new contract. The event Wednesday was part of an SEIU-led campaign called “Worker Wednesday,” a parody of Mayor Ed Lee’s “Tech Tuesday” and intended to frame the city’s corporate-friendly environment at the expense of city workers. Despite an invite, the mayor did not attend, and in his place was a 7-foot cutout replica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city has given multimillion-dollar tax breaks to keep corporations here, but they don’t have money for emergency staff?” dispatcher and local SEIU steward Ron Davis asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he would support a strike, Davis said no. “I would not strike, because when I don’t show up for work, people die.

In California, there is a mandatory standard that all 911 calls be answered within 10 seconds. According to the protesting dispatchers, San Francisco doesn't always meet that standard. (Compliance drops to as low as 60 percent at some times of day, according to a release put out by the group.)\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> “If we don’t have adequate staffing for emergency dispatch, it is going to compromise public safety.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>— SF Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In addition to calls being placed on hold, understaffing increases the overall stress of an already stressful job, dispatch supervisor Anne Raskin said. She said that when a 911 call is placed on hold, a bell rings in the dispatch center within the SFDEM building. “The bell rings almost all day long. … It's stressful enough without having to go from call to call to call without time in between to recuperate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Equally scary are the stories from aspiring, seemingly qualified homeowners who are turned away by banks. \r\n \r\nThroughout 2014, KQED brought out the facts and stories behind the Bay Area housing crisis as part of our series called ‘Priced Out.’ We told the stories of people struggling and surviving amidst the increasing cost of living. We examined the changing neighborhoods and cities in the Bay Area, looked at who is getting evicted and why, as well as the potential solutions that have emerged.",
