"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.",

However, in the pricey Bay Area, the issue was front and center on a number of local ballots. Voters are embracing local measures that promise to create new housing for low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a brief rundown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alameda County, early vote tallies pointed to large approval of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/county-of-alameda-measure-a1-2016/\">Measure A1\u003c/a>, a $580 million housing bond. And that lead held up when the final vote came in, as voters approved the measure 72-28 percent. The general obligation bonds will finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental units, loans for moderate-income homebuyers and upgrades to existing low-income housing. The measure easily got the two-thirds approval needed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, residents voted heavily in favor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/measure-z1-low-income-housing-authorization/\">Measure Z1\u003c/a>, passing it by 83-17 percent. The measure gives the city the green light to create 500 new below-market-rate units. Voter approval is required by the California Constitution for the new projects to go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Oaklanders embraced \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/ibond2016/index.htm\">Measure KK\u003c/a>, a $600 million infrastructure bond earmarking $100 million for affordable housing. A citizen oversight committee would audit all spending from the measure.

However, in the pricey Bay Area, the issue was front and center on a number of local ballots. Voters are embracing local measures that promise to create new housing for low- and middle-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a brief rundown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Alameda County, early vote tallies pointed to large approval of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/county-of-alameda-measure-a1-2016/\">Measure A1\u003c/a>, a $580 million housing bond. And that lead held up when the final vote came in, as voters approved the measure 72-28 percent. The general obligation bonds will finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental units, loans for moderate-income homebuyers and upgrades to existing low-income housing. The measure easily got the two-thirds approval needed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Berkeley, residents voted heavily in favor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvbae.org/measure-z1-low-income-housing-authorization/\">Measure Z1\u003c/a>, passing it by 83-17 percent. The measure gives the city the green light to create 500 new below-market-rate units. Voter approval is required by the California Constitution for the new projects to go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Minimum wage and other full-time workers are unable to afford those rents. They end up having to move out of the area and sometimes quitting their local jobs.

Last summer, Palo Alto-based Spieker Companies Inc. bought the 85-unit apartment complex that includes Camacho's home and, according to residents, began sending eviction letters to tenants.

In the meantime, tenants said rent on two-bedroom units, currently $1,600 a month, will increase by $300 next month, with an additional $300 increase coming in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camacho and her family are moving after Christmas to Tracy, about 50 miles to the east in San Joaquin County.

At a recent meeting, children told council members their parents are unable to afford rent increases, and their families will have to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of rent control contend these ordinances have unintended consequences, such as keeping the most affordable units off market. Tenants in rent-controlled units in San Francisco tend to stay there even if they can afford to move somewhere more expensive, says Michael Verdone, president of the San Mateo County Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it does is it creates a stagnant housing market,\" said Verdone, former chair of Redwood City's Planning Commission and a resident of the city since the 1980s. \"Normally if there was no rent control, tenants with means would purchase a home, and that unit would become available on the open market.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City Councilman Jeff Gee, whose mayoral term ended this month, is also opposed to any rent regulation by the city. Gee, an architect who works full time managing construction projects, says he’s seen that owners of rent-controlled buildings don't spend as much to upgrade and maintain them. Sometimes that means the buildings don't comply with current safety codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rent control doesn’t address the investment that is needed to maintain a property at quality level,” said Gee, adding that a large portion of the city’s rental stock is old and lacking earthquake retrofits and fire sprinklers. “That’s why we need to find new tools to moderate rents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>o tackle the issue, Gee and the rest of the City Council approved Fire Safety First, a program aimed at improving safety and stabilizing rents at the same time. The initiative gives property owners low-interest loans to pay for sprinkler installations, and if the owners agree to limit rent increases, the city forgives the loan. It's still unclear how many renters the program might help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council has also taken other steps to ease the housing crisis, such as approving plans to build as many as 137 homes for low-income residents on city land. Developers working on new projects will now also have to pay a fee to fund affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates supporting rent control, such as Aracely Mondragon from Peninsula Interfaith Action, say Redwood City's affordable housing measures may bear fruit years from now, but do little for people who are desperate for help now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just not going to help that family who received a 60-day notice last week and is thinking about moving to Oregon and taking their kids off the school district here,\" said Mondragon, who also leads her organization's countywide campaign for renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee says the problem is a regional one, and the solutions need to be worked on by governments in the entire region as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I get it, I see the 'help wanted' signs. ...

She says skyrocketing rents and housing prices are diminishing Redwood City's diversity, as well as residents' quality of life. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Redwood City has not formally considered rent control, but residents have raised the issue before the City Council. At a recent meeting, children told council members their parents are unable to afford rent increases, and their families will have to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of rent control contend these ordinances have unintended consequences, such as keeping the most affordable units off market. Tenants in rent-controlled units in San Francisco tend to stay there even if they can afford to move somewhere more expensive, says Michael Verdone, president of the San Mateo County Association of Realtors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it does is it creates a stagnant housing market,\" said Verdone, former chair of Redwood City's Planning Commission and a resident of the city since the 1980s. \"Normally if there was no rent control, tenants with means would purchase a home, and that unit would become available on the open market.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City Councilman Jeff Gee, whose mayoral term ended this month, is also opposed to any rent regulation by the city. Gee, an architect who works full time managing construction projects, says he’s seen that owners of rent-controlled buildings don't spend as much to upgrade and maintain them. Sometimes that means the buildings don't comply with current safety codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rent control doesn’t address the investment that is needed to maintain a property at quality level,” said Gee, adding that a large portion of the city’s rental stock is old and lacking earthquake retrofits and fire sprinklers. “That’s why we need to find new tools to moderate rents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>o tackle the issue, Gee and the rest of the City Council approved Fire Safety First, a program aimed at improving safety and stabilizing rents at the same time. The initiative gives property owners low-interest loans to pay for sprinkler installations, and if the owners agree to limit rent increases, the city forgives the loan. It's still unclear how many renters the program might help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council has also taken other steps to ease the housing crisis, such as approving plans to build as many as 137 homes for low-income residents on city land. Developers working on new projects will now also have to pay a fee to fund affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing advocates supporting rent control, such as Aracely Mondragon from Peninsula Interfaith Action, say Redwood City's affordable housing measures may bear fruit years from now, but do little for people who are desperate for help now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just not going to help that family who received a 60-day notice last week and is thinking about moving to Oregon and taking their kids off the school district here,\" said Mondragon, who also leads her organization's countywide campaign for renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee says the problem is a regional one, and the solutions need to be worked on by governments in the entire region as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I get it, I see the 'help wanted' signs. ... Living here on minimum wage is a challenge,\" he said. \"But it’s not just my responsibility. We have to work together with our neighbors to address affordability and the housing and employment needs of the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resident Barbara Britschgi remains hopeful that her neighbors and elected officials will come together to protect the city's diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>If you're a registered voter in San Mateo County, you won't head to your usual neighborhood polling place on Nov. 3. And chances are you already got your ballot in the mail -- whether you registered for vote-by-mail or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because San Mateo County has launched an all-mail election effort. More than 353,000 official ballots have been sent out to all registered voters in the county, according to Mark Church, chief elections officer for the county. Voters have until Nov. 3 to put those ballots in the mail, or drop them off at any city or town hall in the county, at a 24-hour drop box or at one of 32 voting centers. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.shapethefuture.org/votingoptions/votebymail/myballot/#returnmyballot\" target=\"_blank\">Check San Mateo's election website for a full list of locations\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This election is already underway,\" said Church. \"Voting is now taking place.\"\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"d7p1vOknK9q5wWDnFMibP7fKY3E3GFNY\"]\u003cbr>\nWhile San Mateo is not the first county in California to institute countywide mail ballots -- both Alpine and Sierra counties have long had all vote-by-mail elections, according to the Secretary of State's Office -- it is the biggest county to do so. Alpine and Sierra both instituted their programs because of their rural and sparsely populated nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo, on the other hand, has a number of characteristics that make it more of a true test program for the large urban areas in California, said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a large county. It is a diverse county. This is going to give us a good idea of whether this is going to be a feasible option for local elections,\" said Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the full interview with Alexander:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://soundcloud.com/kqed/san-mateo-removes-polling-places-tests-vote-by-mail-for-entire-county\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appeal of an all-mail election is twofold, said Alexander.

And chances are you already got your ballot in the mail -- whether you registered for vote-by-mail or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because San Mateo County has launched an all-mail election effort. More than 353,000 official ballots have been sent out to all registered voters in the county, according to Mark Church, chief elections officer for the county. Voters have until Nov. 3 to put those ballots in the mail, or drop them off at any city or town hall in the county, at a 24-hour drop box or at one of 32 voting centers. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.shapethefuture.org/votingoptions/votebymail/myballot/#returnmyballot\" target=\"_blank\">Check San Mateo's election website for a full list of locations\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This election is already underway,\" said Church. \"Voting is now taking place.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nWhile San Mateo is not the first county in California to institute countywide mail ballots -- both Alpine and Sierra counties have long had all vote-by-mail elections, according to the Secretary of State's Office -- it is the biggest county to do so. Alpine and Sierra both instituted their programs because of their rural and sparsely populated nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo, on the other hand, has a number of characteristics that make it more of a true test program for the large urban areas in California, said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a large county. It is a diverse county. This is going to give us a good idea of whether this is going to be a feasible option for local elections,\" said Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
