(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Turns out we’re conflicted about the tech boom in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrary to many of the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/09/activists/\">news reports\u003c/a> of late, the majority of San Franciscans do not think the tech boom has been bad for the city. We are, however, worried about San Francisco’s affordability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are among the highlights of a just-released survey (embedded below) from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usfca.edu/\">University of San Francisco\u003c/a>. The online poll of 553 San Francisco registered voters covered multiple topics, but the report focuses on questions of affordability and the tech sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, respondents were positive about the city and the economy, with 69 percent saying things are “generally going in the right direction.” Most believe economic conditions will continue to improve in the next six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 39.5 percent feel cost of living is a “big problem,” and 28.1 percent think it is “somewhat of a problem.” These groups combined, the survey notes, cut across all demographic lines, including income, ethnicity, age, political leanings and living situation (homeowner vs. renter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the one hand, [voters in San Francisco] want the economy to be strong and think things are moving in right direction,” said Corey Cook, USF political science professor and co-author of the study, to KQED’s Joshua Johnson. “On the other hand … they said their chief concern is affordability — particularly housing affordability — so there’s clearly an underlying sense of anxiety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most respondents see the tech boom as being most beneficial for tech execs and workers; a clear majority say that the city’s tech sector is also good for other white collar workers and the city overall. But that positive sentiment is qualified. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They say, ‘I don’t see it benefiting me and my family,’ and there’s anxiety about whether people will be allowed to stay,” Cook said. He notes that the highest numbers of respondents for whom cost of living is a problem are “middle earners,” those reporting income between $30,000 and $130,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/San-Franciscans-ambivalent-on-future-poll-finds-5049659.php\">story\u003c/a> on the USF survey, the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Technology companies have created 23,500 jobs since 2009 and have helped drop the city’s unemployment rate to 5.3 percent, the lowest in five years. City coffers are once again full, and the big cuts to social services and parks that were seen during the recession aren’t happening anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, evictions are up 38 percent since 2010, and Ellis Act evictions, usually used when a landlord wants to sell a building, are up 170 percent. The median home sale price in the city hit $1 million in the summer.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The majority of USF survey respondents said the spike in the cost of living has been recent, and strongly support the idea that city government should enact policies to preserve affordability. These efforts range from addressing Ellis Act evictions to getting more affordable housing in the pipeline and built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most interesting to Cook was how respondents feel about the tech companies.

During the federal shutdown, Soskin became the face for thousands of frustrated, furloughed workers, appearing in many news outlets across the country. Soskin is believed to be the oldest National Parks Service ranger. “I’m grateful that the park, for which I work, is getting this incredible publicity,” she said recently.

The San Francisco public school is for children new to the United States from Spanish speaking countries. Many have been separated from their parents for lengthy periods of time, and only recently reunited with them here in the U.S. They can attend MEC for one year before transitioning to other schools.

Throughout the year, food brings us together and draws out conversation. But for very-low-income neighbors living in single-room-occupancy (SRO) buildings without kitchens or communal dining areas, that’s not a regular experience. One San Francisco church, Grace Cathedral, has been working to change that with a program called \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/119331/dinner-with-grace\">Dinner with Grace\u003c/a>.

It's a service that dates back to the 1930s, when the rich and famous frequented the hotel's popular Mural Room restaurant, which is now the hotel lobby.
