He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead later that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo County’s district attorney called the incident tragic but not criminal in March and declined to charge the deputies involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff's Office is still investigating the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My brother, Chinedu Okobi, was electrocuted to death,” Ebele Okobi wrote in a Facebook post Friday. “District Attorney (Steve) Wagstaffe’s refusal to charge any of the officers, and Sheriff (Carlos) Bolanos’ refusal to properly investigate the killing or to impose any sanctions at all, shock the conscience.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference later that day, Ebele told reporters, “This should not stand. It shouldn't be that a human being can be violently killed, can be tortured to death, with absolute impunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren Metlitzky, an attorney for the county acknowledged, \"the tragic nature\" of Okobi's death in an emailed statement. He added that \"the county intends to defend itself in federal court against these claims.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney Adante Pointer represents Okobi’s mother, Maureen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's pretty consistent that officers are not disciplined,” Pointer said. “They don't face any type of real backlash as it relates to employment, and very few are ever prosecuted in any way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointer said Okobi, like many other families, turned to the court to ensure accountability and to learn how their loved ones died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the complaint, attorneys allege that San Mateo County sheriff's deputies unlawfully detained and killed Okobi based on racial profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinedu, a 300-pound African American man from Redwood City, was walking down a sidewalk on a busy street in downtown Millbrae in the afternoon when a deputy spotted him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff's Deputy Joshua Wang told investigators with the district attorney’s office that when Okobi jaywalked across that street, he followed him in his car. Dash-cam video of the incident recorded Wang yelling out the window to Okobi to “hold up for a minute” and talk. When Okobi walked away, Wang called for backup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video from the patrol car shows that when Deputy Alyssa Lorenzatti first approached Okobi on foot, he held up his hands. When she put a hand on his shoulder, he shrugged it off and turned away from her. That’s when other deputies rushed in to grab him. During the following struggle, Wang shot him with a taser and he fell.

It was created for people who have been homeless for a decade or more -- some causing problems downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These people were extremely problematic,\" says Steve Carey, project manager of the Vendome. \"One lady would literally shower in front of the movie theater. Take off her clothes and take a shower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey says that before the city took on the problem, there were about 30 chronically homeless people within a four-block radius. Today that number is more like two or three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They lost some dignity, they've lost who they are, and we get to give that to them.

And they can live there for the rest of their lives if they want. The residents pay rent based on their income, but most of the cost is subsidized by the federal government and donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vendome also works in partnership with the Police Department and other city services. San Mateo police Officer David Johnson is one of four officers who walk the streets every day, identifying people they can direct to services -- like the Vendome. Jail or a psychiatric ward is a last resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know a lot of times when you're on patrol you're just kind of a Band-Aid,\" Johnson says. \"With this position, I was given the time I need to actually make long-term solutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Greenberg, LifeMoves vice president of programs and services, says that while the Vendome is a great example of a solution, fighting homelessness is not a one-size-fits-all solution. San Mateo is relatively small in comparison to places like San Francisco, and the Vendome specifically houses chronically homeless individuals in the downtown core. But Greenberg believes there is still a lot that other cities can learn from what works here. A decade ago it was a contentious idea -- the City Council had to get buy-in from residents and business owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a model for each community really taking proprietorship over their unsheltered population,\" Greenberg says. It's something that NIMBYism doesn’t always make possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg says that in Silicon Valley a significant portion of the homeless population travels from city to city in search of services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more communities step up and say we're going to find the right solution for our city, then you can really positively and visibly impact homelessness,\" Greenberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will be Steve Kraft's third year living at the Vendome, and now, he says, he has the clarity to think about his future. Maybe one day, he’ll move to Reno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's cheaper up there, they've got baseball up there,\" Kraft says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting off the streets, he says, has opened his mind up to think beyond day-to-day survival.\u003c/p>\n\n",

San Mateo says it has found a way to help get its chronically homeless residents off the street by giving them a place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vendome is an old hotel the city of San Mateo bought 10 years ago and converted into an apartment building. It was created for people who have been homeless for a decade or more -- some causing problems downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These people were extremely problematic,\" says Steve Carey, project manager of the Vendome. \"One lady would literally shower in front of the movie theater. Take off her clothes and take a shower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey says that before the city took on the problem, there were about 30 chronically homeless people within a four-block radius. Today that number is more like two or three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They lost some dignity, they've lost who they are, and we get to give that to them. It starts with a room, but that's just the start,\" Carey says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11627047\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11627047\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/vendome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/vendome.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/vendome-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/vendome-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/vendome-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Vendome Place Apartments, a former hotel now used to house the city's chronically homeless. \u003ccite>(City of San Mateo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The 16 residents who live at the Vendome have access to health care and counseling through the homeless outreach organization LifeMoves. And they can live there for the rest of their lives if they want. The residents pay rent based on their income, but most of the cost is subsidized by the federal government and donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Vendome also works in partnership with the Police Department and other city services. San Mateo police Officer David Johnson is one of four officers who walk the streets every day, identifying people they can direct to services -- like the Vendome. Jail or a psychiatric ward is a last resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know a lot of times when you're on patrol you're just kind of a Band-Aid,\" Johnson says. \"With this position, I was given the time I need to actually make long-term solutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Greenberg, LifeMoves vice president of programs and services, says that while the Vendome is a great example of a solution, fighting homelessness is not a one-size-fits-all solution. San Mateo is relatively small in comparison to places like San Francisco, and the Vendome specifically houses chronically homeless individuals in the downtown core. But Greenberg believes there is still a lot that other cities can learn from what works here. A decade ago it was a contentious idea -- the City Council had to get buy-in from residents and business owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's a model for each community really taking proprietorship over their unsheltered population,\" Greenberg says. It's something that NIMBYism doesn’t always make possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greenberg says that in Silicon Valley a significant portion of the homeless population travels from city to city in search of services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more communities step up and say we're going to find the right solution for our city, then you can really positively and visibly impact homelessness,\" Greenberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will be Steve Kraft's third year living at the Vendome, and now, he says, he has the clarity to think about his future. Maybe one day, he’ll move to Reno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's cheaper up there, they've got baseball up there,\" Kraft says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting off the streets, he says, has opened his mind up to think beyond day-to-day survival.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Renters groups are generally critical of any city-approved ballot measure, claiming they offer weaker renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo County, rents for two-bedroom units shot up about 50 percent over the last four years. But the city of Burlingame hasn’t backed Measure R. In fact, it wrote the argument against it, which upset renters like Cornell. The City Council called the measure bad public policy and, despite trying to study the issue, some council members said they didn't know enough about what the impact of Measure R would be on the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though opposed, the Burlingame City Council decided to run the ballot measure in the November election rather than waiting a month and holding a special election when there would be lower voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the Heart of the Issue Is This Question About Fairness\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six cities with renter measures have a complicated question before them, says Chris Palmer, an associate professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business: Who do they want to enable to stay in the community, and who should pay for that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palmer echoes what many economists agree on -- that rent control or rent stabilization is a temporary fix for people living in communities now, and that cities need to figure out how to build more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a Band-Aid to a gushing wound,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer of who \u003cem>will\u003c/em> pay for it might come down to how many renters show up to vote, he said. Renters make up a majority of residents in most of the cities holding rent-control ballot measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters make up about 52 percent of the population in Alameda, 52 percent in Burlingame, 59 percent in Mountain View, 47 percent in San Mateo and 55 percent in Richmond. In Oakland, 60 percent of residents are renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do think that the fraction of renters who are voting in a given city is going to be the biggest determinant,\" Palmer said. \"Then it’s going to be a question of how effective do they think this policy is going to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Small Property Owners Could Get Priced Out\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, vocal and persistent renter advocates pressured the city to pass a package of rent laws in September, including one that requires property owners to petition for rent increases higher than the annual consumer price index increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Ballot Measure JJ would also put the onus on landlords who want to raise rents above the index to petition a rent board for approval. The measure would also expand the city's just-cause eviction law to buildings constructed through 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new and proposed laws have caused some smaller landlords to feel that they, too, might get priced out of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did what they say don’t do -- don’t let your heart get in it,\" Karen Francisco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 69-year-old landlord bought her fourplex right near Lake Merritt in 1979. It’s an older building with Mediterranean character from the 1930s. All four families who live in the building, including herself, share one furnace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Each person has a thermostat, but if one person turns their thermostat on, they turn the heat on for everybody,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Francisco wants to pay to install separate heating units. She also wants new windows with thicker panes, but she can’t afford it.

Renters groups are generally critical of any city-approved ballot measure, claiming they offer weaker renter protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo County, rents for two-bedroom units shot up about 50 percent over the last four years. But the city of Burlingame hasn’t backed Measure R. In fact, it wrote the argument against it, which upset renters like Cornell. The City Council called the measure bad public policy and, despite trying to study the issue, some council members said they didn't know enough about what the impact of Measure R would be on the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though opposed, the Burlingame City Council decided to run the ballot measure in the November election rather than waiting a month and holding a special election when there would be lower voter turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the Heart of the Issue Is This Question About Fairness\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six cities with renter measures have a complicated question before them, says Chris Palmer, an associate professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business: Who do they want to enable to stay in the community, and who should pay for that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palmer echoes what many economists agree on -- that rent control or rent stabilization is a temporary fix for people living in communities now, and that cities need to figure out how to build more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a Band-Aid to a gushing wound,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer of who \u003cem>will\u003c/em> pay for it might come down to how many renters show up to vote, he said. Renters make up a majority of residents in most of the cities holding rent-control ballot measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters make up about 52 percent of the population in Alameda, 52 percent in Burlingame, 59 percent in Mountain View, 47 percent in San Mateo and 55 percent in Richmond. In Oakland, 60 percent of residents are renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do think that the fraction of renters who are voting in a given city is going to be the biggest determinant,\" Palmer said. \"Then it’s going to be a question of how effective do they think this policy is going to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Small Property Owners Could Get Priced Out\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, vocal and persistent renter advocates pressured the city to pass a package of rent laws in September, including one that requires property owners to petition for rent increases higher than the annual consumer price index increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Ballot Measure JJ would also put the onus on landlords who want to raise rents above the index to petition a rent board for approval. The measure would also expand the city's just-cause eviction law to buildings constructed through 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new and proposed laws have caused some smaller landlords to feel that they, too, might get priced out of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did what they say don’t do -- don’t let your heart get in it,\" Karen Francisco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 69-year-old landlord bought her fourplex right near Lake Merritt in 1979. It’s an older building with Mediterranean character from the 1930s. All four families who live in the building, including herself, share one furnace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Each person has a thermostat, but if one person turns their thermostat on, they turn the heat on for everybody,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Francisco wants to pay to install separate heating units. She also wants new windows with thicker panes, but she can’t afford it. She estimates she's spending about $1,000 more each month than she makes in income, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11109840\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11109840\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/IMG_2620-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Karen Francisco stands in her bare front room.

The event will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.pentv.tv/2016/02/watch-congresswoman-jackie-speiers-town-hall-live-this-monday-feb-22nd/\" target=\"_blank\">streamed live on PenTV.tv\u003c/a> and broadcast on San Mateo County community access channels: Comcast 26, Wave 27 and AT&T Uverse 99.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Baiz manages the property, which he says was built in the 1960s or '70s and is owned by a family trust. He took over the management from his late sister last year and refinanced the building, which was in need of extensive maintenance, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rents were increased across the board for long-term tenants that hadn’t had any rent increases for at least 13 years or so,\" said Baiz, an attorney who also lives in the building. \"I'm trying to meet a massive mortgage and also improve the building for the quality of life of residents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the higher rents have helped cover the installation of security cameras, a new garage door, roof repairs and other upgrades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The building needs a lot of work, and that costs a lot of money,\" said Baiz, who is considering additional rent increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most cities in the county, San Mateo does not have rent control or other tenant protections, such as \"just cause\" for eviction. San Mateo's proximity to San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the region's two main employment centers, is pushing housing costs to heights unimaginable a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rents Up Nearly 70 Percent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to real estate service Zillow, the median rent in the city of San Mateo \u003ca href=\"http://www.zillow.com/san-mateo-ca/home-values/\" target=\"_blank\">rose nearly 70 percent\u003c/a>, from $2,320 to $3,913, between November 2010 and December 2015. The median home sales price in town now tops $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live on the billion-dollar corridor of tech companies that has driven up the cost of living and the cost of housing. That is just a fact of our reality,\" said San Mateo Mayor Joe Goethals, who grew up in the city. \"Responding to that is something that we are trying to do with as much deliberation as we can.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the City Council declined to take up a temporary just-cause-for-eviction proposal by Deputy Mayor David Lim, opting instead to form a housing task force to study how the city can help ease the housing affordability burden, particularly for renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council expects those recommendations within the next three months, and could decide later this year on more incentives and financing to create affordable housing, including the adoption of fees on new commercial developments. The new measures could also include limits on rent increases and evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will consider all of our options, and everything is on the table,\" said Goethals. \"Renter protections is one of the extreme measures that we could take.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of tenant protections has come up elsewhere, too. The Alameda City Council voted last month to extend its moratorium on rent increases, and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo told \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201602170900\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum\u003c/a> that his city will probably tighten its 1979 rent-control ordinance, which allows landlords to raise rents by up to 8 percent a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mayor: Rent Measures Are 'Imperfect Tools'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goethals says he considers rent control and just cause for eviction \"imperfect tools.\" He mentions concerns that rent control may decrease the availability of affordable units on the market because tenants tend to stay even after they can afford to live elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m very concerned that some of the policies we want to implement would actually make housing more difficult and decrease the number of affordable units,\" said Goethals. \"If it decreases the number of affordable units, it doesn’t help the city of San Mateo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city already requires new developments of 11 units of more to include 10 to 15 percent of that housing for low-income owners or renters. But Goethals said that to really make a dent in the housing crisis, the city must significantly ramp up its production of market-rate and affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A project Goethals wants the council to approve this year would build 400 units or more near downtown for city employees who make less than the \u003ca href=\"http://housing.smcgov.org/sites/housing.smcgov.org/files/AFFORD2014%2003%2020%202014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">area's median income\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As elsewhere in the Bay Area region, demand for housing in San Mateo County far outweighs supply.

She acknowledges that her rent had not gone up for the 13 years she had lived in the 15-unit building, but says getting hit with such a huge jump all at once was difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I understand that rents go up. I would not be opposed to a reasonable rent increase. But certainly anything over 8 or 10 percent is just outrageous,\" said Fjelstad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Landlord: Rent Is Below Market Rate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fjelstad's landlord, Victor Baiz, says her rent is still below the going rate. He estimates that similarly sized apartments in the area are renting for up to $3,800 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>Town Hall: Renting in San Mateo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jackie Speier's \u003ca href=\"http://speier.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1824:town-hall-renting-in-san-mateo-county-2&catid=30&Itemid=181\" target=\"_blank\">Monday night town hall\u003c/a> on the housing affordability crisis in San Mateo is already at capacity. The event will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.pentv.tv/2016/02/watch-congresswoman-jackie-speiers-town-hall-live-this-monday-feb-22nd/\" target=\"_blank\">streamed live on PenTV.tv\u003c/a> and broadcast on San Mateo County community access channels: Comcast 26, Wave 27 and AT&T Uverse 99.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Baiz manages the property, which he says was built in the 1960s or '70s and is owned by a family trust. He took over the management from his late sister last year and refinanced the building, which was in need of extensive maintenance, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rents were increased across the board for long-term tenants that hadn’t had any rent increases for at least 13 years or so,\" said Baiz, an attorney who also lives in the building. \"I'm trying to meet a massive mortgage and also improve the building for the quality of life of residents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the higher rents have helped cover the installation of security cameras, a new garage door, roof repairs and other upgrades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The building needs a lot of work, and that costs a lot of money,\" said Baiz, who is considering additional rent increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most cities in the county, San Mateo does not have rent control or other tenant protections, such as \"just cause\" for eviction. San Mateo's proximity to San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the region's two main employment centers, is pushing housing costs to heights unimaginable a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rents Up Nearly 70 Percent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to real estate service Zillow, the median rent in the city of San Mateo \u003ca href=\"http://www.zillow.com/san-mateo-ca/home-values/\" target=\"_blank\">rose nearly 70 percent\u003c/a>, from $2,320 to $3,913, between November 2010 and December 2015. The median home sales price in town now tops $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We live on the billion-dollar corridor of tech companies that has driven up the cost of living and the cost of housing. That is just a fact of our reality,\" said San Mateo Mayor Joe Goethals, who grew up in the city. \"Responding to that is something that we are trying to do with as much deliberation as we can.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the City Council declined to take up a temporary just-cause-for-eviction proposal by Deputy Mayor David Lim, opting instead to form a housing task force to study how the city can help ease the housing affordability burden, particularly for renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council expects those recommendations within the next three months, and could decide later this year on more incentives and financing to create affordable housing, including the adoption of fees on new commercial developments. The new measures could also include limits on rent increases and evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will consider all of our options, and everything is on the table,\" said Goethals. \"Renter protections is one of the extreme measures that we could take.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of tenant protections has come up elsewhere, too. The Alameda City Council voted last month to extend its moratorium on rent increases, and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo told \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201602170900\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum\u003c/a> that his city will probably tighten its 1979 rent-control ordinance, which allows landlords to raise rents by up to 8 percent a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mayor: Rent Measures Are 'Imperfect Tools'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goethals says he considers rent control and just cause for eviction \"imperfect tools.\" He mentions concerns that rent control may decrease the availability of affordable units on the market because tenants tend to stay even after they can afford to live elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m very concerned that some of the policies we want to implement would actually make housing more difficult and decrease the number of affordable units,\" said Goethals. \"If it decreases the number of affordable units, it doesn’t help the city of San Mateo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city already requires new developments of 11 units of more to include 10 to 15 percent of that housing for low-income owners or renters. But Goethals said that to really make a dent in the housing crisis, the city must significantly ramp up its production of market-rate and affordable housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A project Goethals wants the council to approve this year would build 400 units or more near downtown for city employees who make less than the \u003ca href=\"http://housing.smcgov.org/sites/housing.smcgov.org/files/AFFORD2014%2003%2020%202014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">area's median income\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As elsewhere in the Bay Area region, demand for housing in San Mateo County far outweighs supply. From 2010 through 2015, state statistics show, the county labor force grew by about 78,000 while the number of housing units increased by just 3,600.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That imbalance is drawing the attention of county officials, who are studying whether to implement renter protections and other strategies on housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve had town hall meetings where a hundred people came and shared stories about evictions, but we wanted real data on rent increases and the real experience of people,\" said Warren Slocum, a member of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slocum is also co-chair of the Closing the Jobs/Housing Gap task force, made up of elected officials, developers, nonprofits and business representatives, which plans to survey renters who live in pre-1995 buildings that are eligible for rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the county were to adopt rent control or just-cause-for-eviction ordinances, the measure would apply only to unincorporated areas such as North Fair Oaks, adjacent to Redwood City, Atherton and Menlo Park. Housing advocates say the county action could set a precedent for cities considering similar measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Overcrowding in Working-Class District\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertha Sanchez, 78, has lived in San Mateo since 1946 and says she's sympathetic to the plight of residents who are increasingly unable to afford rents.
