"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.",

For the record, she knows you can make appointments online in advance. But like so many of us, she was too late getting her act together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to put myself at the mercy of the DMV because my driver’s license expired,” Valot says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was last fall, before the rollout of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/8e621ce2-f744-4333-a32f-04d5283766b7/REAL_ID_FactSheet.pdf?MOD=AJPERES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real ID\u003c/a>, a driver’s license that can be used to board domestic flights starting in October 2020. The Real ID requires an in-person visit, and it’s the foremost reason for the current surge in wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even back then, Valot researched to find out which local DMV had the shortest lines, on what days and at what times. She waited only an hour to get a temporary license at the field office in San Pedro, not including the time it took her to park. Then, she waited for her permanent license to come in the mail, but weeks passed and the temporary license approached its expiration date.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Listen to The Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11684797/how-the-dmv-got-worse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How the DMV Got Worse\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>Finally, she called and talked to a sympathetic customer service representative, who informed Valot the system had no record of her application for a license, “and if you’re caught driving with an expired license, they might take your car away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valot was dismayed, mortified and incensed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I have the temporary license. I can prove that I applied for a license.” she told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He replied, “I believe you, but nothing ever came through on our system. You have to go back down to the DMV and have \u003ci>them\u003c/i> fix it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second trip to the San Pedro DMV took twice as long, and there again, the customer service representative was sympathetic. Valot said the woman told her: “There’s some kind of glitch in the system, and it doesn’t go through to the state, and the state knew about it.” The woman, whom Valot described as frustrated because it hadn’t been fixed, added, “Believe me, you’re not the first person this has happened to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, if Valot now wants to get a driver’s license that’s a Real ID, she’d have to go back a third time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have my passport, so I’m not going to put myself through that hell,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFbpgXY5jdg]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The hacker’s perspective\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I asked Michelle Thong, co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforsanjose.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for San Jose\u003c/a>, to join me at a local DMV. The group is one of more than 70 \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforamerica.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for America\u003c/a> chapters around the country made up of techies keen to volunteer their skills for the civic good.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many engineers and designers get a lot of satisfaction working on problems that make people’s lives better,” Thong says, explaining that civic hacking is more collaborative or complementary than confrontational. For example, she proudly points to a local renters’ rights website that Code for San Jose built recently: \u003ca href=\"http://rentersrightsguide.org\">Rentersrightsguide.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been years since Thong herself went to a DMV field office. \u003cem>She’s\u003c/em> had success with the DMV website. So we take a moment to observe the system most large field offices use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are actually two lines in operation. The first: to get in the door and have somebody confirm you have the proper paperwork to get your need met. The second: to get a number so you can wait to be called to a desk. Both of these waits can last hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surely, I ask her, there’s a more efficient way to process all these people. Thong takes a moment. Her assessment seems obvious, \u003ci>once she says it\u003c/i>: Figure out who, exactly, is in that first line, so it can be shrunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it turns out a lot of people are coming in person when they don’t need to, then maybe it’s more of an educational campaign to catch people before they come in and add to the wait times for everyone else who really needs to be here,” Thong opines.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The DMV has an action plan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Perhaps not surprisingly, given the demand for testimony at the state Capitol, the DMV has just announced plans to reduce the number of reasons you have to come to a field office in person — like say, getting a duplicate driver’s license. Also, while there are a number of places you can go to use DMV Now self-service terminals to get your registration renewed, DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez says there will be more coming soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re putting those into 10 additional field offices this month. We currently have them in 60 field offices. Later this year, we’re going to expand to 50 additional grocery stores. We’re already in 40 retail locations, so this’ll bring our total to 160 statewide,” Gonzalez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She adds there will be more self-service check-in kiosks, too, at field offices, “If you know that you have everything you need and you’re ready, you can head on over to that free-standing kiosk and check in and get your service number right then and there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685393/california-lawmakers-to-question-dmv-about-long-lines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Lawmakers to Question DMV About Long Lines\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The DMV’s answer for the second line: text notifications “about 30 minutes or so before your number’s going to be called,” Gonzalez says. “So that way, you can go to the store, or do something else other than stand there and wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This might kill what appears to be a new line of business for a California startup called\u003ca href=\"https://yogov.org/dmv/california/line-waiting-concierge/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> YoGov\u003c/a> that offers “live waiting concierge service,” as well as automated support booking a field office appointment online. The company has gotten a fair bit of media attention in recent months, but it is not working with the DMV’s cooperation or approval. Gonzalez says the agency is “investigating” YoGov, though she would not provide more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency recently opened 60 field offices on Saturday for a half-day. Now it promises to shift nearly 300 employees from DMV headquarters and other state agencies to field offices to help triage the longer lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal, DMV director Shiomoto told lawmakers, is to reduce wait times back to what the agency considers to be the norm: 15 minutes for customers with an appointment, 45 minutes for those without.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For the record, she knows you can make appointments online in advance. But like so many of us, she was too late getting her act together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to put myself at the mercy of the DMV because my driver’s license expired,” Valot says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was last fall, before the rollout of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/8e621ce2-f744-4333-a32f-04d5283766b7/REAL_ID_FactSheet.pdf?MOD=AJPERES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real ID\u003c/a>, a driver’s license that can be used to board domestic flights starting in October 2020. The Real ID requires an in-person visit, and it’s the foremost reason for the current surge in wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even back then, Valot researched to find out which local DMV had the shortest lines, on what days and at what times. She waited only an hour to get a temporary license at the field office in San Pedro, not including the time it took her to park. Then, she waited for her permanent license to come in the mail, but weeks passed and the temporary license approached its expiration date.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Listen to The Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11684797/how-the-dmv-got-worse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How the DMV Got Worse\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>Finally, she called and talked to a sympathetic customer service representative, who informed Valot the system had no record of her application for a license, “and if you’re caught driving with an expired license, they might take your car away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valot was dismayed, mortified and incensed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I have the temporary license. I can prove that I applied for a license.” she told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He replied, “I believe you, but nothing ever came through on our system. You have to go back down to the DMV and have \u003ci>them\u003c/i> fix it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second trip to the San Pedro DMV took twice as long, and there again, the customer service representative was sympathetic. Valot said the woman told her: “There’s some kind of glitch in the system, and it doesn’t go through to the state, and the state knew about it.” The woman, whom Valot described as frustrated because it hadn’t been fixed, added, “Believe me, you’re not the first person this has happened to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, if Valot now wants to get a driver’s license that’s a Real ID, she’d have to go back a third time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have my passport, so I’m not going to put myself through that hell,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/KFbpgXY5jdg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/KFbpgXY5jdg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The hacker’s perspective\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I asked Michelle Thong, co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforsanjose.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for San Jose\u003c/a>, to join me at a local DMV. The group is one of more than 70 \u003ca href=\"https://www.codeforamerica.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code for America\u003c/a> chapters around the country made up of techies keen to volunteer their skills for the civic good.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many engineers and designers get a lot of satisfaction working on problems that make people’s lives better,” Thong says, explaining that civic hacking is more collaborative or complementary than confrontational. For example, she proudly points to a local renters’ rights website that Code for San Jose built recently: \u003ca href=\"http://rentersrightsguide.org\">Rentersrightsguide.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been years since Thong herself went to a DMV field office. \u003cem>She’s\u003c/em> had success with the DMV website. So we take a moment to observe the system most large field offices use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are actually two lines in operation. The first: to get in the door and have somebody confirm you have the proper paperwork to get your need met. The second: to get a number so you can wait to be called to a desk. Both of these waits can last hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surely, I ask her, there’s a more efficient way to process all these people. Thong takes a moment. Her assessment seems obvious, \u003ci>once she says it\u003c/i>: Figure out who, exactly, is in that first line, so it can be shrunk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it turns out a lot of people are coming in person when they don’t need to, then maybe it’s more of an educational campaign to catch people before they come in and add to the wait times for everyone else who really needs to be here,” Thong opines.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The DMV has an action plan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Perhaps not surprisingly, given the demand for testimony at the state Capitol, the DMV has just announced plans to reduce the number of reasons you have to come to a field office in person — like say, getting a duplicate driver’s license. Also, while there are a number of places you can go to use DMV Now self-service terminals to get your registration renewed, DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez says there will be more coming soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re putting those into 10 additional field offices this month. We currently have them in 60 field offices. Later this year, we’re going to expand to 50 additional grocery stores. We’re already in 40 retail locations, so this’ll bring our total to 160 statewide,” Gonzalez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She adds there will be more self-service check-in kiosks, too, at field offices, “If you know that you have everything you need and you’re ready, you can head on over to that free-standing kiosk and check in and get your service number right then and there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11685393/california-lawmakers-to-question-dmv-about-long-lines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Lawmakers to Question DMV About Long Lines\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The DMV’s answer for the second line: text notifications “about 30 minutes or so before your number’s going to be called,” Gonzalez says. “So that way, you can go to the store, or do something else other than stand there and wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This might kill what appears to be a new line of business for a California startup called\u003ca href=\"https://yogov.org/dmv/california/line-waiting-concierge/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> YoGov\u003c/a> that offers “live waiting concierge service,” as well as automated support booking a field office appointment online. The company has gotten a fair bit of media attention in recent months, but it is not working with the DMV’s cooperation or approval. Gonzalez says the agency is “investigating” YoGov, though she would not provide more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency recently opened 60 field offices on Saturday for a half-day. Now it promises to shift nearly 300 employees from DMV headquarters and other state agencies to field offices to help triage the longer lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The crowd grew to about 50 later in the first half with more fans coming later in the day for games at times when more people are awake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SJEarthquakes/status/1007923926872150016 \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were several hundred fans on hand for the thrilling 11 a.m. game between powerhouses Spain and Portugal and the Earthquakes have already had more than 1,300 RSVPs for Sunday’s high-profile matchup between Mexico and defending champion Germany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t beat the atmosphere of being on a large screen in a big environment,” said Portuguese fan Rui Silva, who came out with his wife, two kids and two nieces. “It’s kind of cool to have other fans there, too. It kind of gives you the feel that you’re at a game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expected turnout for less enticing matches that start before the crack of dawn like the Egypt-Uruguay game are much smaller, with most who showed up either natives of one of the countries or die-hard soccer fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosemarie Pozzobon brought her family of four out to root on her native Uruguay. While her U.S.-born kids were disappointed the Americans didn’t qualify, the family was excited for this match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They try to watch as many big games Uruguay plays in the World Cup, qualifying or Copa America that they can and leaped at the chance to do it in what they hoped would be a more festive environment than their couch at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fun to watch it with a crowd,” Pozzobon said. “Where is everybody?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game did draw a few curious onlookers, including John Fung, who stopped by with a few of his high school friends from Seattle who were on a trip to the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fung described himself as a casual soccer fan who gets into the World Cup every four years. When he heard about the Earthquakes plans to show the games on a 44 foot by 24 foot video board, he figured it would be fun to come check it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a great setup,” Fung said. “There were actually more people than I thought there’d be for the 5 a.m. game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Earthquakes had free coffee and doughnuts for the early arriving fans, as well as some games. They had more authentic food options later in the day, including Portuguese and Spanish fare, as well as face painting and video game stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans get passports when they arrive for their first game with stamps each time they show up. Coming for five games will win a Earthquakes merchandise item and fans get a ticket to an upcoming game with 10 stamps. Anyone who shows up for all 64 gets VIP treatment for a game against Seattle, including a postgame meet and greet with Earthquakes players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One fan each day will also win a prize for being decked out in the most festive and supportive outfit for their team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Earthquakes held viewing parties around San Jose for the tournament four years ago but wanted to take advantage of their stadium that opened in 2015 this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other MLS teams are hosting their own viewing parties, including Real Salt Lake, which is airing some games at its practice facility. But the Earthquakes say they are the only team showing every game at their stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to make the World Cup a big event and make it exciting no matter which teams are in it,” Earthquakes executive vice president Jed Mettee said. “The Bay Area is so diverse. There are people from so many backgrounds who will come out and support their country. Let’s do something for the community and bring people together around the biggest sporting event in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It kind of gives you the feel that you’re at a game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expected turnout for less enticing matches that start before the crack of dawn like the Egypt-Uruguay game are much smaller, with most who showed up either natives of one of the countries or die-hard soccer fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosemarie Pozzobon brought her family of four out to root on her native Uruguay. While her U.S.-born kids were disappointed the Americans didn’t qualify, the family was excited for this match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They try to watch as many big games Uruguay plays in the World Cup, qualifying or Copa America that they can and leaped at the chance to do it in what they hoped would be a more festive environment than their couch at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fun to watch it with a crowd,” Pozzobon said. “Where is everybody?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game did draw a few curious onlookers, including John Fung, who stopped by with a few of his high school friends from Seattle who were on a trip to the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fung described himself as a casual soccer fan who gets into the World Cup every four years. When he heard about the Earthquakes plans to show the games on a 44 foot by 24 foot video board, he figured it would be fun to come check it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a great setup,” Fung said. “There were actually more people than I thought there’d be for the 5 a.m. game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Earthquakes had free coffee and doughnuts for the early arriving fans, as well as some games. They had more authentic food options later in the day, including Portuguese and Spanish fare, as well as face painting and video game stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans get passports when they arrive for their first game with stamps each time they show up. Coming for five games will win a Earthquakes merchandise item and fans get a ticket to an upcoming game with 10 stamps. Anyone who shows up for all 64 gets VIP treatment for a game against Seattle, including a postgame meet and greet with Earthquakes players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One fan each day will also win a prize for being decked out in the most festive and supportive outfit for their team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Earthquakes held viewing parties around San Jose for the tournament four years ago but wanted to take advantage of their stadium that opened in 2015 this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other MLS teams are hosting their own viewing parties, including Real Salt Lake, which is airing some games at its practice facility. But the Earthquakes say they are the only team showing every game at their stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to make the World Cup a big event and make it exciting no matter which teams are in it,” Earthquakes executive vice president Jed Mettee said. “The Bay Area is so diverse. There are people from so many backgrounds who will come out and support their country. Let’s do something for the community and bring people together around the biggest sporting event in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Instead, we ask for the backstory from Scott Herhold, a retired columnist for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/author/scott-herhold/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercury News\u003c/a> who periodically conducts tours of the public art in downtown San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tells us that, back in the 1980s, San Jose’s Redevelopment Agency wanted a statue to honor Thomas Fallon, the 10th mayor of San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was an adventurer, an Irishman, one of the first Anglo settlers here,” Herhold says. “In 1846, he raised the flag, the American flag. Remember, this was part of Mexico still. From that point on, of course, San Jose really has been Anglo rather than Mexican.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it’s been Anglo \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Mexican-American, but Anglos dominated San Jose’s civic narrative for more than 100 years. But by 1988, when artist Robert Glen was commissioned to create a tribute to the Anglo hero, attitudes had changed. The Redevelopment Agency got blowback from the Mexican-American community. A new committee was established to pick a new artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herhold continues, “They eventually settled on a man by the name of \u003ca href=\"http://www.robertgraham-artist.com/biography/bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Graham\u003c/a>. Graham had originally designed some work for the Redevelopment Agency. He was also part Latino himself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose State alum was highly regarded nationwide.

Instead, we ask for the backstory from Scott Herhold, a retired columnist for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/author/scott-herhold/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercury News\u003c/a> who periodically conducts tours of the public art in downtown San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tells us that, back in the 1980s, San Jose’s Redevelopment Agency wanted a statue to honor Thomas Fallon, the 10th mayor of San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was an adventurer, an Irishman, one of the first Anglo settlers here,” Herhold says. “In 1846, he raised the flag, the American flag. Remember, this was part of Mexico still. From that point on, of course, San Jose really has been Anglo rather than Mexican.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it’s been Anglo \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Mexican-American, but Anglos dominated San Jose’s civic narrative for more than 100 years. But by 1988, when artist Robert Glen was commissioned to create a tribute to the Anglo hero, attitudes had changed. The Redevelopment Agency got blowback from the Mexican-American community. A new committee was established to pick a new artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herhold continues, “They eventually settled on a man by the name of \u003ca href=\"http://www.robertgraham-artist.com/biography/bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Graham\u003c/a>. Graham had originally designed some work for the Redevelopment Agency. He was also part Latino himself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Jose State alum was highly regarded nationwide.

And the feeling, at least among the Redevelopment Agency people I know, was that this was his act of revenge for the loss of that earlier commission,” says Herhold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Bay Curious\u003c/a> is a podcast that answers your questions about the Bay Area.\n Subscribe on \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bay-curious/id1172473406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Podcasts\u003c/a>,\n \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/500557090/bay-curious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR One\u003c/a> or your favorite podcast platform.\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has written about this in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/16/quetzalcoatl-sculpture-back-in-the-public-eye/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How can he be so sure that the Quetzalcoatl sculpture is indeed an act of revenge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herhold acknowledges, “I don’t think you can be sure. Graham is now dead, and as far as I know, he never specifically said this was an act of revenge. But I can tell you the people that I know who were very well placed in the Redevelopment Agency, and even his mother, say this was his revenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That prompts this response from our Bay Curious question asker Daniel Fonseca. “If it was an act of revenge, I think it was very well captured, you know, because that is the first reaction: poop!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Fonseca adds, “There must be a way to elevate this sculpture, to not have ‘poop’ be the first thing that you think. Like add some gardens around. Something that will bring out its significance. It’s set on a pedestal, so even the pedestal could be painted. It clearly needs some work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that score, at least, Blanca Alvarado agrees. “It needs some sprucing up,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sculpture was recently power-washed, but that’s it for the foreseeable future, according to San Jose’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseculture.org/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Plumed-Serpent-Plaza-de-Csar--498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office of Cultural Affairs, \u003c/a>which maintains the installation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, Alvarado is a veteran political activist, and she says she’s fixing to get busy at City Hall, pushing for some imaginative improvement to San Jose’s Queztecoatl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
