"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

We’re typically undercounted in census efforts,” San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal law bars the Census Bureau from sharing survey information with law enforcement, immigration officials and the like. And while three \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/gerrymandering-fair-representation/fair-accurate-census/2020-census-litigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pending federal court suits\u003c/a> claim the Trump administration is purposefully failing to fully plan for and fund this year’s count, the U.S. Census Bureau is making a concerted effort to reach out to the nation’s residents in dozens of languages to urge them to participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIyX7OjoqUo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But highly publicized controversies can make some households nervous. The Trump administration was keen to ask every respondent if they were a citizen, until blocked by the \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/why-the-supreme-court-asked-for-an-explanation-of-the-2020-census-citizenship-question-119567\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Supreme Court\u003c/a> last year. The city of San Jose was among the first in the country to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/457/4960?npage=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">participate\u003c/a> in that lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has also taken to deporting immigrants for the slightest of reasons, and that has many people feeling anxious about cooperating with census counters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When individuals beg off participating, that has consequences for the wider community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, of course, there’s the question of political representation and how seats in Congress are allocated,” Liccardo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because congressional seats have been a zero-sum game ever since 1911, when Congress capped its membership at 435. That means states like California that experience “net domestic migration loss,” as we did \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2019/popest-nation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in 2019\u003c/a>, are at risk of \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/research/population-change-and-the-projected-change-in-congressional-representation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">losing a representative\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But even more impactful for us, are the tens of millions of dollars of federal funding for education, for housing, for social services,” Liccardo added. At present, $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed to states and local governments every year on the basis of data gathered by the Census Bureau. It’s estimated each individual counted translates to $2,000 in federal funding, according to the California Department of Finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is San Jose doing to maximize the accuracy of its count? The city is coordinating with dozens of trusted local nonprofits, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SomosMayfair/posts/census-2020-update-the-us-census-bureau-has-begun-their-address-canvassing-campa/2757029910993793/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOMOS Mayfair\u003c/a> in East San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation department staff have installed streetlight pole banners in English, Spanish and Vietnamese at 400 targeted locations to encourage participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that recent immigrants are not the only difficult-to-count populations, San Jose is also co-sponsoring an app to help census takers find homeless and low-income individuals, like students living in non-traditional housing, like garages and granny flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re able to identify thousands of families that way, that otherwise the census would have missed. Beause we have way too many families living in garages, or ADUs [accessory dwelling units, also known as granny flats],” Liccardo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expect other initiatives to be announced in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That means states like California that experience “net domestic migration loss,” as we did \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2019/popest-nation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in 2019\u003c/a>, are at risk of \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/research/population-change-and-the-projected-change-in-congressional-representation/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">losing a representative\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But even more impactful for us, are the tens of millions of dollars of federal funding for education, for housing, for social services,” Liccardo added. At present, $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed to states and local governments every year on the basis of data gathered by the Census Bureau. It’s estimated each individual counted translates to $2,000 in federal funding, according to the California Department of Finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what is San Jose doing to maximize the accuracy of its count? The city is coordinating with dozens of trusted local nonprofits, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SomosMayfair/posts/census-2020-update-the-us-census-bureau-has-begun-their-address-canvassing-campa/2757029910993793/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOMOS Mayfair\u003c/a> in East San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation department staff have installed streetlight pole banners in English, Spanish and Vietnamese at 400 targeted locations to encourage participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that recent immigrants are not the only difficult-to-count populations, San Jose is also co-sponsoring an app to help census takers find homeless and low-income individuals, like students living in non-traditional housing, like garages and granny flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re able to identify thousands of families that way, that otherwise the census would have missed. Beause we have way too many families living in garages, or ADUs [accessory dwelling units, also known as granny flats],” Liccardo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expect other initiatives to be announced in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Except for those kept as pets, the rat has a bad rap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s dirty, a sewer animal,” she said. “It eats yucky things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Vietnamese culture, and really, most East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, “as soon as you say you’re a rat, everyone’s like ‘Oh! She’s intelligent, clever.’ Also, ‘better watch out for her,'” Cron said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because rats are thought to be social, charming, and just a little bit devious in their pursuit of material success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cron recently held a workshop to help young Vietnamese-Americans learn how to cook one of the most traditional treats of the season, a sticky rice cake wrapped in banana leaves called bánh chưng. Inside the glutinous rice, you’ll find mung bean and pork belly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This goodie is eaten all year round. But it’s right about now families gather to make it at home. It’s a dish that usually involves a small army getting together in the kitchen to prepare and combine the ingredients, then hover over the pots in which piles of banh chưng are boiled. Small, hungry children typically watch with great interest, but the first banh chưng go to the family’s altar honoring ancestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cron recommends using a pressure cooker to speed up the process (and make it more appealing to younger generations who don’t want to spend so much time in the kitchen).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“40 minutes, you’re done,” Cron said. “Cause it’s very intimidating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11797951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11797951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Taro pastries at Dzui’s Cakes and Desserts in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taro pastries at Dzui’s Cakes and Desserts in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But at a bakery like Dzui’s, you’ll want to sample everything in the glass case. Take bánh pia. It’s about the size of a hockey puck, with a dense but flaky crust on the outside, finished with an egg wash glaze and a red stamp on top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that it’s the Year of the Rat, many bakers will opt for a playful stamp of the animal on top. Pick one made fresh and filled with taro, mung bean or pork and you’ll go in for seconds. I did, at least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the traditional mung bean filling is not your thing, Dzui’s is where you can find other fillings to fit the bill, like durian and salted egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also goes without saying that fresh is always tastier than pre-packaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next generation Vietnamese bakeries are combining a more modern look and feel — and the traditional homage to French sensibilities about sugar and flour,” says my KQED colleague Luke Lam, who independently recommended this bakery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what are you waiting for?

Except for those kept as pets, the rat has a bad rap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s dirty, a sewer animal,” she said. “It eats yucky things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Vietnamese culture, and really, most East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, “as soon as you say you’re a rat, everyone’s like ‘Oh! She’s intelligent, clever.’ Also, ‘better watch out for her,'” Cron said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because rats are thought to be social, charming, and just a little bit devious in their pursuit of material success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cron recently held a workshop to help young Vietnamese-Americans learn how to cook one of the most traditional treats of the season, a sticky rice cake wrapped in banana leaves called bánh chưng. Inside the glutinous rice, you’ll find mung bean and pork belly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This goodie is eaten all year round. But it’s right about now families gather to make it at home. It’s a dish that usually involves a small army getting together in the kitchen to prepare and combine the ingredients, then hover over the pots in which piles of banh chưng are boiled. Small, hungry children typically watch with great interest, but the first banh chưng go to the family’s altar honoring ancestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cron recommends using a pressure cooker to speed up the process (and make it more appealing to younger generations who don’t want to spend so much time in the kitchen).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“40 minutes, you’re done,” Cron said. “Cause it’s very intimidating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11797951\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11797951\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Taro pastries at Dzui’s Cakes and Desserts in San Jose.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40901_Photo-Jan-23-5-47-30-PM-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taro pastries at Dzui’s Cakes and Desserts in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But at a bakery like Dzui’s, you’ll want to sample everything in the glass case. Take bánh pia. It’s about the size of a hockey puck, with a dense but flaky crust on the outside, finished with an egg wash glaze and a red stamp on top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that it’s the Year of the Rat, many bakers will opt for a playful stamp of the animal on top. Pick one made fresh and filled with taro, mung bean or pork and you’ll go in for seconds. I did, at least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the traditional mung bean filling is not your thing, Dzui’s is where you can find other fillings to fit the bill, like durian and salted egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also goes without saying that fresh is always tastier than pre-packaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Next generation Vietnamese bakeries are combining a more modern look and feel — and the traditional homage to French sensibilities about sugar and flour,” says my KQED colleague Luke Lam, who independently recommended this bakery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what are you waiting for?

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Wednesday, Sept. 25, 8:10 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following roughly five hours of debate, the San Jose City Council Tuesday night narrowly voted 6-5 to extend a package of fee breaks for downtown housing developers to encourage new construction through 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters like Mayor Sam Liccardo argued continuing waivers on things like affordable housing impact fees are necessary in a real estate market growing more expensive by the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are all folks who have been hunting for financing. It’s not like they’re sitting on their hands. And we haven’t seen a single high-rise tower break ground in nearly two years,” Liccardo said. “So we’ve got a market that is telling us simply that it’s not viable to move forward unless we do something to reduce the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, several council members balked in the face of criticism from people like Louise Auerhahn, director of Economic and Workforce Policy with \u003ca href=\"https://www.wpusa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Working Partnerships San Jose\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every single time, we’re promised this is the last time. Well, now it’s 2019. We’ve had this temporary subsidy for well over a decade, and while we’ve been running this experiment, has this model worked to produce affordable housing? No!” Auerhahn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote followed the most contentious reassessment of the incentives in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose officials first approved the Downtown High Rise Incentive Program before the Great Recession brought development to a screeching halt in late 2007. Since then, the City Council has extended the program both in terms of dates and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it stood, the incentive package included a 50%-off discount on park impact fees, as well as two primary construction taxes, and delays payment of those construction fees until the development has tenants in place renting units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More controversially, downtown developers also get a break on a $17-a-square-foot affordable housing impact fee, if they meet certain criteria designed to spur construction sooner rather than later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City staff calculate that the program can be credited with adding 1,522 units since it began, and an additional 1,043 units in the pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>That was then, this is now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the last two years, Google has launched an expansion on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101868581/san-jose-city-council-set-to-approve-google-campus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">massive scale\u003c/a> near Diridon Station downtown, fueling a local real estate gold rush in a neighborhood that has struggled for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The local chamber of commerce argued this is no time to end the party by allowing construction incentives to lapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='housing' label='More Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these cranes are here specifically because of the fee reduction program. In the absence of it, the investor risk, the volatility of the markets, actually make it very difficult for these high-rises to pencil out,” said Eddie Truong, director of government and community relations for the\u003ca href=\"https://www.thesvo.com/team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Silicon Valley Organization\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truong added, “Most people think builders in general have a very large cash reserve to invest in residential high-rises. If you can’t demonstrate with a business plan that you can get a reasonable return on investment, you’re not going to get investor funding or lender financing from the capital markets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction, land and labor costs have been rising in San Jose and sky high rents appear to have hit a ceiling, limiting that potential return on investment. Development costs for high-rise apartments average $651,000 per unit, according to city staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2019/09/19/guest-viewpoint-high-stakes-for-san-joses-high.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece\u003c/a> published by Silicon Valley Organization’s President & CEO Matthew Mahood argues that developers have to promise at least a 5% profit to secure lender financing. As it happens, a project feasibility study referenced in the agenda item before the San Jose City Council argues the same — that high-rise developments in the downtown core are not generally feasible without the current fee reduction program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo was solidly behind extending the incentives. In a statement released last week, he argued that “Exceedingly high construction costs will prevent any residential builder from getting the financing to build a high-rise in Downtown for several years—despite a housing crisis that screams for more housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement added, “Either reduce fees and get housing built, or we sit on our hands and hope for some miracle to solve this housing crisis for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11775797\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11775797 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS15476_IMG_0887-qut-1920x1440.jpg\" alt=\"One South Market is one of the newest additions to San Jose's downtown skyline.

In the absence of it, the investor risk, the volatility of the markets, actually make it very difficult for these high-rises to pencil out,” said Eddie Truong, director of government and community relations for the\u003ca href=\"https://www.thesvo.com/team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Silicon Valley Organization\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truong added, “Most people think builders in general have a very large cash reserve to invest in residential high-rises. If you can’t demonstrate with a business plan that you can get a reasonable return on investment, you’re not going to get investor funding or lender financing from the capital markets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction, land and labor costs have been rising in San Jose and sky high rents appear to have hit a ceiling, limiting that potential return on investment.

As it happens, a project feasibility study referenced in the agenda item before the San Jose City Council argues the same — that high-rise developments in the downtown core are not generally feasible without the current fee reduction program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo was solidly behind extending the incentives. In a statement released last week, he argued that “Exceedingly high construction costs will prevent any residential builder from getting the financing to build a high-rise in Downtown for several years—despite a housing crisis that screams for more housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement added, “Either reduce fees and get housing built, or we sit on our hands and hope for some miracle to solve this housing crisis for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11775797\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11775797 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/09/RS15476_IMG_0887-qut-1920x1440.jpg\" alt=\"One South Market is one of the newest additions to San Jose's downtown skyline.
