Among her favorite stories: an interview with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch that broke the story about his plan to build a cultural museum, and a pirate Trader Joe's operation in Vancouver that prompted the grocery chain to sue -- and lose. She joined KQED in 2013 and was previously a reporter and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner and the Hayward Daily Review.",

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

Down there is a world in miniature — a model-train layout 40 feet wide by 70 feet long, about two-thirds the size of a basketball court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The layout is a miniature engineering marvel — hundreds of yards of track, mountains and tunnels, switching yards and towns. Small model trains weave their way slowly through the setup, hauling boxcars of coal and featuring the iconic logos of the Northern and Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania railroads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trains and the layout belong to the \u003ca href=\"http://ggmrc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Gate Model Railroad Club\u003c/a>, a group that has called the Randall basement home since 1950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The club has just a few dozen members, but the layout entertains hundreds of parents and kids who visit the trains on “Junior Engineer” days six times a year and on evenings when a member is present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People tell us they come here just for the trains,\" says Jim Wilcox, the club’s secretary treasurer. “They want to keep the trains the way they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, not everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Randall, located in the city's Corona Heights neighborhood, is operated by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, which is planning a $5.4 million upgrade to improve the museum’s seismic safety and to provide more access for the disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134428\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS10163_Nicholas-Wright-and-the-Golden-Gate-Model-Railroad-Club-layout.-Photo-by-Cyrus-Musiker.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-134428\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS10163_Nicholas-Wright-and-the-Golden-Gate-Model-Railroad-Club-layout.-Photo-by-Cyrus-Musiker-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nicholas Wright and the Golden Gate Model Railroad Club layout.

Club members say they can’t find a written lease. And Ballard says the deal might always have been a handshake arrangement. The club has been paying a nominal fee for rent but the Recreation and Parks Department refused the last payment, Ballard says, in anticipation of redefining “the legal relationship in a new space. And this is just an administrative way of insuring that that’s going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ballard says the department and the architect in charge are still refining the plans, and it may yet be possible to get an exemption to building codes for the basement, leaving the current train layout intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Club members say they have yet to hear such reassurances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But maintaining the staus quo would definitely suit Nick Wright. He’s an 18-year-old club member who got his first train set when he was 3 hours old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright worries that model trains will wither as a hobby if layouts like this disappear. “I think so, yeah.

BART and AC Transit officials are considering an $800,000 pilot plan to add buses and increase service on Friday and Saturday nights, including extending the 800 line to the Mission District. The earliest that could happen is December.

Late-night transit needs to come from increased revenue, not decreased service,\" Selby said. \"The vehicle license fee, which the Mayor's Transportation Task Force voted to support on the ballot this November, could partially go towards that service. That could be where the funds come from without losing service elsewhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he hopes the working group will come up with some short- and mid-term recommendations that would be \"low cost or even no cost,\" along with some more visionary goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've never studied late-night transportation in a meaningful way before,\" Wiener said. \"When transit agencies look to the future, we want them to have that policy tool, a comprehensive plan with recommendations, that they can look to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is expected to report to the Board of Supervisors on its progress in six months.\u003c/p>\n\n",

BART and AC Transit officials are considering an $800,000 pilot plan to add buses and increase service on Friday and Saturday nights, including extending the 800 line to the Mission District. The earliest that could happen is December. Riders looking to get to the Peninsula or South Bay have scarcer options, but SamTrans' \u003ca href=\"http://transit.511.org/accessible/schedules/routeinfo.aspx?cid=SM&rte=7898\" target=\"_blank\">397 bus\u003c/a> runs once an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One challenge to boosting overnight service is funding, but Thea Selby of the San Francisco Transit Riders Union suggests an increase in late-night Muni service could come from raising the vehicle license fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Better service doesn't grow on trees. Late-night transit needs to come from increased revenue, not decreased service,\" Selby said. \"The vehicle license fee, which the Mayor's Transportation Task Force voted to support on the ballot this November, could partially go towards that service. That could be where the funds come from without losing service elsewhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said he hopes the working group will come up with some short- and mid-term recommendations that would be \"low cost or even no cost,\" along with some more visionary goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've never studied late-night transportation in a meaningful way before,\" Wiener said. \"When transit agencies look to the future, we want them to have that policy tool, a comprehensive plan with recommendations, that they can look to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is expected to report to the Board of Supervisors on its progress in six months.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One house was described on vacation websites as an “exquisitely renovated home, in prime Pacific Heights.” The Lees charged their guests between $395 and $595 each night for a minimum three-night stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By doing this, they ignored the city's conditional use process, which has requirements that include obtaining a permit for rentals shorter than 30 days.

Although they assured Planning Department officials they'd stopped, the suit says, they resumed their illegal conduct and evicted a disabled tenant who'd lived in one unit for more than 10 years, paying $1,087 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite Ellis Act restrictions, they rented the unit again for between $5,000 and $7,083 a month.
