The county has pledged to reverse those cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The scaling back of health services at RMC has hit East San José hard. The County’s purchase and saving of Regional Medical Center, located in the heart of one of the most marginalized and historically disadvantaged areas of our county, is essential to restore critical healthcare access,” county Supervisor Betty Duong, who represents the area, said in a statement. “I am so proud of our county staff and Board of Supervisors for making this happen, and I look forward to seeing full services return to Regional Medical Center as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal comes a little less than a year after HCA announced its intention to make major service reductions at the hospital, which also houses the only trauma center on the east side of the county — setting off months of protests and demonstrations opposing the cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had previously planned to shutter the hospital’s trauma center, eliminate its severe heart attack services and reduce stroke services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA partially backed off those plans in mid-July after a group of health care workers, community members, patient advocates and elected officials decried the cuts, alleging the company was prioritizing profit margins over people’s health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=news_12015224,news_11999936,news_11996422]County officials warned, \u003ca href=\"https://files.santaclaracounty.gov/2024-05/impact-assessment-final.pdf?VersionId=76kKMmMNBS.DDrTkkIa.TB08YZkvCUqI\">in an April report\u003c/a>, that cutting services at the hospital could have a “cascading effect” on Santa Clara Valley Healthcare, placing undue pressure on the county public health system that already manages three hospitals and a series of clinics and health centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company ultimately downgraded the facility’s trauma center, offering lower levels of care and relying more heavily on transferring patients to other facilities miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also trimmed its severe heart attack services instead of eliminating them altogether and reduced stroke services from “comprehensive” to just above “primary” levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts at the hospital were “unacceptable,” Susan Ellenberg, president of the county Board of Supervisors, said in Monday’s statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the trauma center was downgraded, we immediately saw impacts at Valley Medical Center and other parts of our health system. We look forward to begin restoring lost services for the community on Day 1 of the deal closing,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part because of the cuts it made at Regional Medical Center, the HCA’s proposal to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015224/san-jose-leaders-approve-new-good-samaritan-hospital-despite-community-concerns\">overhaul and expand Good Samaritan Hospital\u003c/a> in the San José’s West Valley area faced stiff opposition from residents and community advocates. However, the San José City Council ultimately approved the major development plan in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA “remains a strong community partner at Good Samaritan Hospital, and we look forward to continuing to provide the high-quality health care Santa Clara County deserves,” the company said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darcie Green, executive director of health nonprofit Latinas Contra Cancer, has been one of the most \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999936/cuts-at-east-san-jose-hospital-will-harm-vulnerable-residents-advocates-say\">vocal critics\u003c/a> of HCA’s recent cuts to hospital services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal is “a monumental win for our community, ensuring that health care is accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it,” Green told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By bringing Regional Medical Center under public ownership, the county has prioritized people over profits and reaffirmed its commitment to equitable care for all residents,” she said. “This move represents a brighter future where no one is left behind in their time of need.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The County’s purchase and saving of Regional Medical Center, located in the heart of one of the most marginalized and historically disadvantaged areas of our county, is essential to restore critical healthcare access,” county Supervisor Betty Duong, who represents the area, said in a statement. “I am so proud of our county staff and Board of Supervisors for making this happen, and I look forward to seeing full services return to Regional Medical Center as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal comes a little less than a year after HCA announced its intention to make major service reductions at the hospital, which also houses the only trauma center on the east side of the county — setting off months of protests and demonstrations opposing the cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>After a delay, San Francisco is on track to be the first city in California to install automated speed-enforcement cameras, realizing a goal long sought by street safety advocates frustrated by the city’s lack of progress on its long-term goal of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010882/tragic-sf-pedestrian-death-raises-question-vision-zero-failure\">eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials say the cameras will begin operating on a warning-only basis in mid-March — nearly a year and a half after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB645\">a bill\u003c/a> authorizing the devices in San Francisco, Oakland, San José, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale. All except San Francisco are still in the planning stages for camera deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 33 cameras are set to arrive in the wake of the city’s highest traffic death toll in nearly two decades. In 2024, the year San Francisco aimed to eliminate traffic deaths under Vision Zero, 41 people died in vehicle collisions. Twenty-four pedestrians were among those killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spike in fatalities has led to widespread calls for the city to intensify its traffic safety efforts, as activists, the public and some members of the Board of Supervisors chide the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sfmta\">Municipal Transportation Agency\u003c/a> for falling behind on its ambitious “quick build” program to rapidly improve conditions for people walking and rolling at more than 900 locations across the city by the end of 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About three-fourths of the projects, including improving crosswalks and resetting traffic signals to give pedestrians more time to cross, have been finished, and 15% are in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a problem when we articulate a public goal and are very clear about it and respond to people who are concerned about whether we can make that goal and over and over again to reassure them that we can — and then don’t,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said at the Dec. 17 meeting of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board. “That’s something that I think drives our public a little nuts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mandelman asked Shannon Hake, the SFMTA’s Vision Zero program manager, why the cameras are deploying in March after the agency had set a target of February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12019378 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/GettyImages-182664622-1020x535.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are we sure they’re going in March?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hake attributed the extended deployment timeline to factors like identifying a contractor to run the system, completing electrical and structural engineering and working out an agreement with the city’s Public Works agency to mount the cameras on light poles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that work done, Hake said, “I am very, very confident that these will be launching in March.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between now and then, drivers will see signs that the cameras are coming to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/media/38680/download?inline\">the 33 locations\u003c/a> the city has identified as having at least one significant traffic safety risk, including a history of injury collisions or a high incidence of speeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camera installation and testing are scheduled for February, along with a state-required public information campaign featuring warning signs near camera locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first 60 days after cameras begin operating in March, drivers who exceed posted speed limits in the camera zones by at least 11 mph will receive no-fee warning notices. Citations with penalties ranging from $50 up to $500 will be issued starting in mid-May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The penalty schedule, included in the program’s authorizing legislation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$50 for driving 11 to 15 mph over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$100 for driving 16 to 25 mph over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$200 for driving 26 mph or more over the posted speed limit\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$500 for driving at a speed of 100 mph or more.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Under terms of Assembly Bill 645, citations carry civil penalties only, will not be assessed as a DMV penalty point and won’t result in the DMV suspending or revoking a driver’s license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jodie Medeiros, executive director of AB 645 co-sponsor Walk San Francisco, said she’s confident that cameras will be “a game-changer” for traffic safety in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to Philadelphia, where \u003ca href=\"https://visionzerophl.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Automated-Speed-Enforcement-Expansion-Report-05-2024.pdf\">officials say\u003c/a> speed cameras installed along one notoriously dangerous corridor have reduced speeding by 95% at the locations where the devices are present. Fatal and serious injury crashes throughout the corridor fell by 21% after the cameras began operating. Collisions involving pedestrians were cut in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s exactly the type of results we want to see in San Francisco,” Medeiros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that while she doesn’t want to see the deployment timeline slip any further, city officials deserve credit for getting cameras up and running before any of the other authorized cities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is leading the pack in that way, and I think that’s something that we should be proud of,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB645\">a bill\u003c/a> authorizing the devices in San Francisco, Oakland, San José, Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale. All except San Francisco are still in the planning stages for camera deployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s 33 cameras are set to arrive in the wake of the city’s highest traffic death toll in nearly two decades. In 2024, the year San Francisco aimed to eliminate traffic deaths under Vision Zero, 41 people died in vehicle collisions. Twenty-four pedestrians were among those killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spike in fatalities has led to widespread calls for the city to intensify its traffic safety efforts, as activists, the public and some members of the Board of Supervisors chide the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/sfmta\">Municipal Transportation Agency\u003c/a> for falling behind on its ambitious “quick build” program to rapidly improve conditions for people walking and rolling at more than 900 locations across the city by the end of 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fatal and serious injury crashes throughout the corridor fell by 21% after the cameras began operating. Collisions involving pedestrians were cut in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s exactly the type of results we want to see in San Francisco,” Medeiros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that while she doesn’t want to see the deployment timeline slip any further, city officials deserve credit for getting cameras up and running before any of the other authorized cities did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is leading the pack in that way, and I think that’s something that we should be proud of,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

You can take BART and get off at Berryessa/North San José station and then get on a VTA bus, specifically the Rapid 500 bus line, which will quickly take you straight to SAP Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that public transportation in San José does not run the whole night and usually the “last two trains depart San José-Diridon at 10:30 p.m. and 11:12 p.m.” If you’re getting home from the Billie Eilish concert by public transit, be very sure of when you need to get up from your seat and start heading out — you don’t want to be stranded.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"SAPcenterbanneditems\">\u003c/a>Bag policy: What’s not allowed into SAP Center?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No food.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-time San José residents know this well: Their city is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/sanjosefood\">a treasure trove of delicious cuisine from all over the world\u003c/a>.

Cans, glass bottles and coolers are also not allowed in — doesn’t matter if they are open or closed. (Plastic bottles are fine, however, and you can refill your water bottle inside SAP Center.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, however, several spots inside SAP Center where you can pick up a drink that you can enjoy at your seat.

You can’t enter SAP Center with bags bigger than 20 x 14 x 11 inches (which is roughly similar to a medium-sized tote bag).

You can take BART and get off at Berryessa/North San José station and then get on a VTA bus, specifically the Rapid 500 bus line, which will quickly take you straight to SAP Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that public transportation in San José does not run the whole night and usually the “last two trains depart San José-Diridon at 10:30 p.m. and 11:12 p.m.” If you’re getting home from the Billie Eilish concert by public transit, be very sure of when you need to get up from your seat and start heading out — you don’t want to be stranded.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"SAPcenterbanneditems\">\u003c/a>Bag policy: What’s not allowed into SAP Center?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No food.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-time San José residents know this well: Their city is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/sanjosefood\">a treasure trove of delicious cuisine from all over the world\u003c/a>.

(Plastic bottles are fine, however, and you can refill your water bottle inside SAP Center.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are, however, several spots inside SAP Center where you can pick up a drink that you can enjoy at your seat.

You can’t enter SAP Center with bags bigger than 20 x 14 x 11 inches (which is roughly similar to a medium-sized tote bag). So don’t try coming in with your backpack and ask to check it in as \u003ca href=\"https://www.sapcenter.com/plan-your-visit/bag-policy\">SAP Center no longer offers a bag check option or storage lockers onsite\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pesoplumatickets\">\u003c/a>Can I still find tickets for Billie Eilish in San José?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ticketmaster.com/billie-eilish-hit-me-hard-and-san-jose-california-12-10-2024/event/1C0060939D8E20BB\">Ticketmaster\u003c/a>, both Billie Eilish shows are\u003ca href=\"https://www.ticketmaster.com/billie-eilish-hit-me-hard-and-san-jose-california-12-11-2024/event/1C00609AC3B345A8\"> sold out\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may also want to check out Facebook Marketplace, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stubhub.com/billie-eilish-san-jose-tickets-12-10-2024/event/153501246/?quantity=2\">Stubhub\u003c/a>, or other social media, with the lower end of prices ranging around $350 to $400. \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/taylor-swift-scams-concert-tickets-better-business-bureau/13474055/\">The Better Business Bureau (BBB) issued a warning about resale scams\u003c/a>, with many people discovering after sending money through apps like Venmo or Zelle that these “tickets” never existed.

Chavez, who would have termed out after this year, left her post early to become county manager of New Mexico’s Bernalillo County in mid-November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, the board would have waited until after Duong’s win was certified by the Santa Clara County registrar on Dec. 5 to appoint her to the seat, but because of the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors and an overlapping vacancy on the San José City Council, they moved to install her more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José City Councilmember Omar Torres, who represented much of downtown, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014643/omar-torres-resigns-from-san-jose-city-council-is-arrested\">resigned\u003c/a> effective Nov. 27 after he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013122/san-jose-councilmember-omar-torres-resigns-arrested\">arrested on Election Day\u003c/a> and charged with three felony child molestation counts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These vacancies are disproportionately affecting residents of downtown San José and surrounding neighborhoods … and including, of course, [the] Eastside, which is one of the most vulnerable areas of our county,” Lee said. “Today, we are taking a number of critical votes that would’ve lacked the vote of a supervisor representing one-fifth of our county, serving more than 3,750 residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s unanimous decision appoints Duong to the seat until the end of Chavez’s term. Next month, she will be sworn in as District 2 supervisor for her full four-year term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She said she plans to bring the bill back during the next legislative session because of what she described as ongoing harms from such algorithms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got to make sure the economy is fair and … that every individual who wants a shot at creating a business has a shot without being destroyed along the way, and that we’re also protecting consumers because it is hurting the pocketbooks of everybody in one way or another,” Hurtado said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RealPage has been a major impetus for all of the actions. The company counts as its customers landlords with thousands of apartment units across California. Some officials accused the company of thwarting competition that would otherwise drive rents down, exacerbating the state’s housing shortage and driving up rents in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day, millions of Californians worry about keeping a roof over their head and RealPage has directly made it more difficult to do so,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A RealPage spokesperson, Jennifer Bowcock, told CalMatters that a lack of housing supply, not the company’s technology, is the real problem — and that its technology benefits residents, property managers, and others associated with the rental market. The spokesperson later wrote that a “misplaced focus on nonpublic information is a distraction… that will only make San Francisco and San Diego’s historical problems worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the federal lawsuit, the company called the claims in it “devoid of merit” and said it plans to “vigorously defend ourselves against these accusations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that, after multiple years of education and cooperation on the antitrust matters concerning RealPage, the (Justice Department) has chosen this moment to pursue a lawsuit that seeks to scapegoat pro-competitive technology that has been used responsibly for years,” the company’s statement read in part. “RealPage’s revenue management software is purposely built to be legally compliant, and we have a long history of working constructively with the (department) to show that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s challenges will only grow if pricing software becomes another instance in which California lawmakers lead the nation. Following San Francisco’s ban, the Philadelphia City Council \u003ca href=\"https://phlcouncil.com/weekly-report-democracy-in-action-during-this-weeks-philadelphia-city-council-session/\">passed a ban on algorithmic rental price-fixing\u003c/a> with a veto-proof vote last month. \u003ca href=\"https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/10/24/lawmakers-advance-bill-to-ban-landlords-use-of-rent-setting-software/\">New Jersey has been considering\u003c/a> its own ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12006179\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12006179\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/011_SanFrancisco_Housing_07292021_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A “For Rent” sign hangs in the window of an apartment building in San Francisco on July 29, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Is it price fixing — or coaching landlords?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to federal prosecutors, RealPage controls 80% of the market for commercial revenue management software. Its product is called YieldStar, and its successor is AI Revenue Management, which uses much of the same codebase as YieldStar but has more precise forecasting. RealPage told CalMatters it serves only 10% of the rental markets in both San Francisco and San Diego across its three revenue management software products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to use YieldStar and AIRM, landlords have historically provided RealPage with their own private data from their rental applications, rent prices, executed new leases, renewal offers and acceptances, and estimates of future occupancy, although a recent change allows landlords to choose to share only public data. This information from all participating landlords in an area is then pooled and run through mathematical forecasting to generate pricing recommendations for the landlords and their competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Diego council president, Sean Elo-Rivera, explained it like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the simplest terms, what this platform is doing is providing what we think of as that dark, smoky room for big companies to get together and set prices,” he said. “The technology is being used as a way of keeping an arm’s length from one big company to the other. But that’s an illusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the company’s own words, from company documents included in the lawsuit, RealPage “ensures that (landlords) are driving every possible opportunity to increase price even in the most downward trending or unexpected conditions.” The company also said in the documents that it “helps curb (landlords’) instincts to respond to down-market conditions by either dramatically lowering price or by holding price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing rent guidance isn’t the only service RealPage has offered landlords. In 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/locked-out/2020/05/28/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">a Markup and \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> investigation\u003c/a> found that RealPage, alongside other companies, used faulty computer algorithms to do automated background checks on tenants. As a result, tenants were associated with criminal charges they never faced and denied homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Impact on tenants\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thirty-one-year-old Navy veteran Alan Pickens and his wife move nearly every year, “Because the rent goes up, it gets unaffordable, so we look for a new place to stay,” he said. The northeastern San Diego apartment complex where they just relocated has two-bedroom apartments advertised for between $2,995 and $3,215.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in an area of San Diego where the U.S. Justice Department said information-sharing agreements between landlords and RealPage have harmed or are likely to harm renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department in August filed its antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, alleging the company, through its legacy YieldStar software, engaged in an “\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-realpage-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions-american-renters\">unlawful scheme to decrease competition among landlords in apartment pricing.\u003c/a>” The complaint names specific areas where rents are artificially high. Beyond the part of San Diego where Pickens lives, those areas include South Orange County, Rancho Cucamonga, Temecula, and Murrieta and northeastern San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second quarter of 2020, the average rent in San Diego County was $1,926, reflecting a 26% increase over three years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/09/11/san-diego-rents-are-cooling-off-heres-how-changes-break-down-by-area/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,was%20a%20few%20years%20ago.\">according to the \u003cem>San Diego Union-Tribune\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. Rents have since risen even more in the city of San Diego, to $2,336 per month as of November 2024 – up 21% from 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/san-diego/\">according to RentCafe\u003c/a> and the \u003cem>Tribune\u003c/em>. That’s 50% higher than the national average rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general of eight states, including California, joined the Justice Department’s antitrust suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Justice Department contends RealPage artificially inflated prices to keep them above a certain minimum level, department spokesperson Elissa Perez said. This was particularly harmful given the high cost of housing in the state, she added. “The illegally maintained profits that result from these price alignment schemes come out of the pockets of the people that can least afford it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/californias-renters/\">make up a larger share of households\u003c/a> in California than in the rest of the country — 44% here compared to 35% nationwide. The Golden State also has a higher percentage of renters than any state other than New York, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2023.S1901?q=rent&g=010XX00US%240400000\">latest U.S. Census data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2024/11/07/a-city-of-renters-san-diego-has-fourth-highest-percentage-of-renters-in-the-u-s/\">fourth-highest percentage of renters of any major city in the nation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label='More Housing Coverage' tag='housing']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent ranks of California legislators, however, have included few renters: As of 2019, CalMatters could \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2019/04/california-legislature-lawmakers-who-are-landlords/\">find only one state lawmaker who did not own a home\u003c/a> — and found that more than a quarter of legislators at the time were landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies show that rising rents impact low-income residents more heavily. Nationally, between 2000 and 2017, Americans without a college degree spent a higher percentage of their income on rent. That percentage ballooned from 30% to 42%. For college graduates, that percentage increased from 26% to 34%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my estimation, the only winners in this situation are the richest companies who are either using this technology or creating this technology,” Elo-Rivera said. “There couldn’t be a more clear example of the rich getting richer while the rest of us are struggling to get by.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The state has invested in RealPage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Private equity giant Thoma Bravo \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1286225/000119312521011569/d52613dprem14a.htm\">acquired RealPage in January 2021\u003c/a> through two funds that have hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from California public pension funds, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Regents of the University of California and the Los Angeles police and fire pension funds, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re invested in things that are directly hurting their pensioners,” said K Agbebiyi, a senior housing campaign coordinator with the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, a nonprofit private equity watchdog that \u003ca href=\"https://pestakeholder.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PESP_Report_Helter_Shelter_2024.pdf\">produced a report about corporate landlords’\u003c/a> impact on rental hikes in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RealPage argues that landlords are free to reject the price recommendations generated by its software. However, the U.S. Justice Department alleges that trying to do so requires a series of steps, including a conversation with a RealPage pricing adviser. The advisers try to “stop property managers from acting on emotions,” according to the department’s lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a property manager disagrees with the price the algorithm suggests and wants to decrease rent rather than increase it, a pricing adviser will “escalate the dispute to the manager’s superior,” prosecutors allege in the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, the Pickenses, who are expecting their first child, have given up their gym memberships and downsized their cars to remain in the area. They’ve considered moving to Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the extras pretty much have to go,” Pickens said. “I mean, we love San Diego, but it’s getting hard to live here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife is an attorney, and I served in the Navy for 10 years and now work at Qualcomm,” he said. “Why are we struggling? Why are we struggling?”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The spokesperson later wrote that a “misplaced focus on nonpublic information is a distraction… that will only make San Francisco and San Diego’s historical problems worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the federal lawsuit, the company called the claims in it “devoid of merit” and said it plans to “vigorously defend ourselves against these accusations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that, after multiple years of education and cooperation on the antitrust matters concerning RealPage, the (Justice Department) has chosen this moment to pursue a lawsuit that seeks to scapegoat pro-competitive technology that has been used responsibly for years,” the company’s statement read in part. “RealPage’s revenue management software is purposely built to be legally compliant, and we have a long history of working constructively with the (department) to show that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s challenges will only grow if pricing software becomes another instance in which California lawmakers lead the nation.

Its product is called YieldStar, and its successor is AI Revenue Management, which uses much of the same codebase as YieldStar but has more precise forecasting. RealPage told CalMatters it serves only 10% of the rental markets in both San Francisco and San Diego across its three revenue management software products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to use YieldStar and AIRM, landlords have historically provided RealPage with their own private data from their rental applications, rent prices, executed new leases, renewal offers and acceptances, and estimates of future occupancy, although a recent change allows landlords to choose to share only public data. This information from all participating landlords in an area is then pooled and run through mathematical forecasting to generate pricing recommendations for the landlords and their competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Diego council president, Sean Elo-Rivera, explained it like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the simplest terms, what this platform is doing is providing what we think of as that dark, smoky room for big companies to get together and set prices,” he said. “The technology is being used as a way of keeping an arm’s length from one big company to the other. But that’s an illusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the company’s own words, from company documents included in the lawsuit, RealPage “ensures that (landlords) are driving every possible opportunity to increase price even in the most downward trending or unexpected conditions.” The company also said in the documents that it “helps curb (landlords’) instincts to respond to down-market conditions by either dramatically lowering price or by holding price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing rent guidance isn’t the only service RealPage has offered landlords. In 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/locked-out/2020/05/28/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">a Markup and \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> investigation\u003c/a> found that RealPage, alongside other companies, used faulty computer algorithms to do automated background checks on tenants. As a result, tenants were associated with criminal charges they never faced and denied homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Impact on tenants\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thirty-one-year-old Navy veteran Alan Pickens and his wife move nearly every year, “Because the rent goes up, it gets unaffordable, so we look for a new place to stay,” he said. The northeastern San Diego apartment complex where they just relocated has two-bedroom apartments advertised for between $2,995 and $3,215.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in an area of San Diego where the U.S. Justice Department said information-sharing agreements between landlords and RealPage have harmed or are likely to harm renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department in August filed its antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, alleging the company, through its legacy YieldStar software, engaged in an “\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-realpage-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions-american-renters\">unlawful scheme to decrease competition among landlords in apartment pricing.\u003c/a>” The complaint names specific areas where rents are artificially high. Beyond the part of San Diego where Pickens lives, those areas include South Orange County, Rancho Cucamonga, Temecula, and Murrieta and northeastern San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second quarter of 2020, the average rent in San Diego County was $1,926, reflecting a 26% increase over three years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/09/11/san-diego-rents-are-cooling-off-heres-how-changes-break-down-by-area/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,was%20a%20few%20years%20ago.\">according to the \u003cem>San Diego Union-Tribune\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>San José leaders on Tuesday night unanimously approved a $1.2 billion proposal from a private firm to build two new wings at Good Samaritan Hospital on the city’s west side, despite concerns about the for-profit hospital owner’s controversial record of cutting services or shuttering facilities at its properties when profits drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While HCA Healthcare — the largest private hospital operator in the country — said the new facilities at the hospital are needed to comply with heightened state earthquake safety standards, some council members, residents and patient advocates were apprehensive about approving a massive project for a company that has reduced critical health care options across the city in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move comes after HCA last year \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987665/advocates-urge-state-to-intervene-in-closure-of-san-jose-trauma-center\">announced plans\u003c/a> to close its trauma center at Regional Medical Center hospital in East San José while also cutting its severe heart attack and stroke services — a decision it walked back slightly after prolonged protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Peter Ortiz, who represents the community that hospital is located in, was among those pushing to defer Tuesday’s vote by a month to allow more time for discussion about a community benefits agreement that would “safeguard the health of residents” and ensure HCA would be a good partner going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at this juncture because HCA, a Fortune 500 company, has consistently cut services in the name of profit,” Ortiz said during the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz ultimately voted to support the environmental review and rezoning to allow the new Good Samaritan buildings because he said he needed to do what’s right for health care in the whole community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he accused HCA of creating a two-tiered health care system: one for residents in wealthier parts of the city, the other for those in poorer areas, by cutting critical services in East San José while expanding and investing heavily in West San José. He also said the company was “fear-mongering” by suggesting that delaying the decision could result in Good Samaritan having to close down entirely because it wouldn’t meet state earthquake safety deadlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m troubled by the rhetoric implying that failing to pass this rezoning, especially when we were just going to postpone it a month, would result in Good Samaritan to close,” Ortiz said. “In my opinion, that’s fear-mongering of the worst kind, and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Councilmember Pam Foley, who represents the area where Good Samaritan is located, said the choice was clear for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Good Sam closes because it cannot meet the timeline, we lose access to critical health care resources. “How can I say to my constituents and the community at large, ‘Well, that’s HCA’s fault.’ How can any of us say that?” she said. “Let’s be perfectly clear. A vote against rezoning today is a vote in favor of closing Good Samaritan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA’s proposal entails a three-phase project to build 750,000 square feet of new hospital space across two buildings and a new 200,000-square-foot medical office while demolishing the hospital’s main building, which does not meet the state’s new seismic safety standards that go into effect between now and 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project also includes a 24,000-square-foot central utility plant and two large parking garages totaling nearly 700,000 square feet. In all, the project is set to take about six years to complete, with shovels set to hit the ground in 2025.[aside label=\"more South Bay news\" tag=\"santa-clara-county\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a deal hammered out ahead of Tuesday’s meeting, outlined in a memo from five councilmembers, HCA agreed to kick in $3 million as a sweetener to support affordable housing citywide and emergency interim housing in the area around the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your decision today is about protecting the patients that rely on Good Sam, a vital community resource, and enabling us to meet the state-mandated 2030 earthquake compliance deadline,” Jackie Van Blaricum, the head of HCA’s Far West division, told the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we may not see eye to eye on everything, surely we can agree that losing an entire hospital’s services is not in the community’s best interest,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor representatives and construction workers, along with former Good Samaritan patients, doctors and other hospital staff, all spoke in support of the project on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gopi Ayer, the chief of staff at the hospital, said while concerns from the community are “legitimate,” they should be saved for another time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what we need to do today,” Ayer told the council. “If we don’t go ahead with this, it will be like cutting off our nose to spite our face, and that is not a good bargain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the memo, council members said the major benefits to the city from such a project should not be overlooked, including increased property tax revenue and about 1,000 construction jobs, in addition to the ongoing jobs at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA’s announcement in early 2023 that it would \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987665/advocates-urge-state-to-intervene-in-closure-of-san-jose-trauma-center\">close the trauma center\u003c/a> at Regional Medical Center sparked an outcry among residents and health care workers, who said shuttering the only such trauma center on the East Side of the county would have life-threatening consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After months of protests, the hospital \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996422/hospital-operator-backs-off-closure-of-east-san-jose-trauma-center-after-public-outcry\">slightly reduced\u003c/a> its planned cuts and Santa Clara County officials later announced the county would move to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001214/santa-clara-county-plans-to-buy-east-san-jose-hospital-to-reverse-cuts-to-care\">purchase the hospital\u003c/a> and fold it into the public health care system, with plans to eventually restore cut services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some residents also recalled how the company cut labor and delivery services at the Regional Medical Center in 2020. And in 2004, it closed San José Medical Center shortly after buying it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents and mental health advocates also noted that HCA last year, citing a lack of staff, cut a 21-bed inpatient psychiatric services program at Mission Oaks Hospital in Los Gatos, which served Good Samaritan patients who needed acute mental health treatment. At the same time, it also closed Good Samaritan’s pediatric intensive care unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not against the development. I am against allowing HCA, the company, a blank check to worsen our quality of life and create health inequity where it otherwise wouldn’t exist in this city,” Darcie Green, the head of local health nonprofit Latinas Contra Cancer, told the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green said the council should have required the company to work with residents and advocates to come up with a plan to restore services and “create a patient protection fund, which is a very reasonable and fair ask given the harm that’s been caused.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He also said the company was “fear-mongering” by suggesting that delaying the decision could result in Good Samaritan having to close down entirely because it wouldn’t meet state earthquake safety deadlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m troubled by the rhetoric implying that failing to pass this rezoning, especially when we were just going to postpone it a month, would result in Good Samaritan to close,” Ortiz said. “In my opinion, that’s fear-mongering of the worst kind, and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Councilmember Pam Foley, who represents the area where Good Samaritan is located, said the choice was clear for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Good Sam closes because it cannot meet the timeline, we lose access to critical health care resources. “How can I say to my constituents and the community at large, ‘Well, that’s HCA’s fault.’ How can any of us say that?” she said. “Let’s be perfectly clear. A vote against rezoning today is a vote in favor of closing Good Samaritan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA’s proposal entails a three-phase project to build 750,000 square feet of new hospital space across two buildings and a new 200,000-square-foot medical office while demolishing the hospital’s main building, which does not meet the state’s new seismic safety standards that go into effect between now and 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project also includes a 24,000-square-foot central utility plant and two large parking garages totaling nearly 700,000 square feet. In all, the project is set to take about six years to complete, with shovels set to hit the ground in 2025.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in 2004, it closed San José Medical Center shortly after buying it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other residents and mental health advocates also noted that HCA last year, citing a lack of staff, cut a 21-bed inpatient psychiatric services program at Mission Oaks Hospital in Los Gatos, which served Good Samaritan patients who needed acute mental health treatment. At the same time, it also closed Good Samaritan’s pediatric intensive care unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not against the development. I am against allowing HCA, the company, a blank check to worsen our quality of life and create health inequity where it otherwise wouldn’t exist in this city,” Darcie Green, the head of local health nonprofit Latinas Contra Cancer, told the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
