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.",

"content": "\u003cp>More than 40,000 tenants in Santa Clara County could be at risk of eviction after August, when local emergency rental protections expire, a new report warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Released Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawfoundation.org/news/eviction-time-bomb\">the report\u003c/a> identifies over 43,000 renter households in the county at highest risk of eviction. They primarily consist of undocumented workers and other low-income residents who have lost substantial income during the COVID-19 pandemic, and have not been eligible for unemployment assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking at an eviction time bomb,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (LFSV), the nonprofit group that co-authored the report, in collaboration with Working Partnerships USA. That potential wave of evictions — roughly 16 times the average number filed in the county in an entire year — would have devastating, widespread impacts, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Michael Trujillo, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley\"]‘We’re just really concerned about the disparate impact this would have on Black and Latinx households and folks who may be undocumented as well.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a huge risk of a surge in homelessness, which could be over a 200% increase,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those at greatest risk of eviction in the county, where \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/santa-clara-county/santa-clara/\">average rent\u003c/a> is nearly $3,000, are disproportionately people of color, households headed by women and families of young children, according to the group’s analysis of unemployment insurance claims and census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 212,000 Santa Clara County workers — or one in every five workers in the county — filed unemployment claims between March 15 and May 30, the report found. The majority of those claims covered fields that include a large number of low-wage jobs, where Black and Latinx workers are disproportionately represented. Not included in that number, the report notes, are the estimated 95,000 undocumented workers in the county who are ineligible for unemployment benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just really concerned about the disparate impact this would have on Black and Latinx households and folks who may be undocumented as well,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s dire warning comes just over a month before the county’s eviction moratorium is set to expire. Enacted soon after shelter-in-place restrictions went into effect in late March, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/EvictionMoratorium/Pages/home.aspx\">the countywide order\u003c/a> bars landlords from evicting tenants for non-payment of rent due to significant pandemic-related income loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants have up to six months after the moratorium expires on Aug. 31 — which officials already extended from May 31 — to repay at least 50% of past-due rent, and up to a year to repay the full amount. That repayment, however, is on top of whatever rent those tenants will continue to owe on a monthly basis, a particularly daunting challenge amid ongoing economic fallout as the coronavirus cases continue to surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency protections are similar to those \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809833/stressed-about-paying-your-april-rent-check-here-first\">enacted in most other Bay Area counties\u003c/a> — and much of the rest of the state — where low-income people of color have been hit hardest by the pandemic, both physically and financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really going to devastate Black and Latinx renters who, of course, are most likely to be working in industries that have been affected by COVID and also most likely to be highly rent burdened in the first place,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, 46% of Latinx renters and more than half of Black renters said they had no or only slight confidence they would be able to pay July rent, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/hhp/hhp9.html\">U.S. Census Bureau survey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trujillo notes that while Santa Clara County is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, the risk to renters here is hardly unique. Low-income residents in most nearby counties are facing a similar threat, he said, noting another \u003ca href=\"https://www.policylink.org/resources-tools/COVID-19%20Evictions-fact-sheet\">recent analysis\u003c/a> that identified some 12,000 Contra Costa County households — including 10,400 children — at risk of imminent eviction if that county’s moratorium ends.

Landlords, it suggests, should instead file civil lawsuits seeking back rent, which could lead to wage garnishment, downgraded credit scores or liens, but at least keep tenants from being pushed out of their homes. Additionally, the report encourages state and federal lawmakers to provide financial relief to the most at-risk tenants to cover insurmountable rental debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also recommends that local officials ensure that all tenants have access to legal assistance to better understand their rights, fight unfair evictions and negotiate agreements with landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unlike our neighbors up north in San Francisco, there’s no guaranteed access (here) to legal assistance if you’re facing eviction in Santa Clara County” Trujillo said. “And so, in fact, vanishingly few tenants are represented. The reality is that we’re one of the few organizations that provides legal defense in the county and we simply just don’t have enough capacity to represent everyone who needs defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measures implemented by county officials have so far been effective in preventing widespread evictions during the pandemic, Trujillo said. But he stressed that much more needs to be done to avert a major displacement crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those families that are most at risk right now are families that are living in neighborhoods that been disadvantaged for a long time, in terms of investment, in terms of housing development, in terms of displacement protection,” he said. “And so this crisis is really compounding what was already a severe housing crisis. And as we move forward and start to address these problems, I hope that the solutions also go to addressing the drivers of that underlying housing crisis.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom said he had asked other counties to review deaths dating back to December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I imagine subsequent announcements that may be made by similar efforts all across the state of California,” Newsom said. The governor’s office deferred questions about when and to whom this directive was sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s up to counties to submit any changes to the cause of death to the state Department of Public Health, which would recategorize deaths attributed to COVID-19 so they are counted in state totals and shared with the CDC and the National Center for Health Statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of medical examiners and coroners contacted by KQED and NPR were not immediately aware of the governor’s directive, but a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff Coroner’s office said protocols are being put in place to review deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Jorden, the Santa Clara County medical examiner, has continued to identify additional early COVID-19 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to the county Board of Supervisors last month, Jorden stated her office had identified 29 people who died with flu-like symptoms and that subsequent tests had confirmed nine of the decedents had the virus, including Dowd. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, efforts to determine whether COVID-19 caused or contributed to the person’s death were ongoing and were not included in county death totals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jorden’s office is continuing to review cases back to Dec 1, 2019, to identify any that warrant further testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://laist.com/projects/2020/coronavirus-tracker/california.html\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

There’s a whole lot of heart in the effort, but are these homemade jobs truly suited to front line health care workers confronting COVID-19? That depends on how desperate they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media feeds are filled with calls for money, materials and talent to help deliver personal protective equipment to health care workers: from purpose-built organizations like \u003ca href=\"https://www.makemasks2020.org/volunteer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Make Masks,\u003c/a> to longstanding craft groups like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sbamodernquiltguild.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild,\u003c/a> to social service-minded outfits like the \u003ca href=\"https://edeninterfaith.weebly.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eden Area Interfaith Council\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses with manufacturing capacity are also caught up in the the fervor to donate goods and services. Last week, Gap, the local parent company of a host of clothing brands, announced plans to shift some of its textile production capacity to serve the public good during this pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GapInc/status/1242652699314675713?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a less industrial scale, \u003ca href=\"https://www.roughlinen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rough Linen\u003c/a> of San Rafael is sending about 200 linen face masks a week to Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Medical Center and to local firefighters and law enforcement officers. The company typically makes bedding and tableware. But CEO Daiva Finell says, “We are going to be making [face masks] until there is no need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danielle Mallory manages marketing at \u003ca href=\"https://www.chromeindustries.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chrome Industries\u003c/a>, a Portland-based company that makes messenger bags, backpacks and cycling apparel. In other words, the company’s sewers are familiar working with a durable fabrics. “The shortage of masks is really awful,” says Mallory. “We wanted to challenge ourselves to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/dgd8Mh2gJEU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After shuttering its production of “Ragtime” to conform with shelter-in-place guidelines, \u003ca href=\"https://theatreworks.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TheatreWorks Silicon Valley\u003c/a> donated N95 masks and nitrile gloves the company typically uses for set construction. But the crew wanted to do more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It made sense to produce these much-needed items and keep our workers on the payroll as long as possible,” wrote Jill Bowers, the costume director. “The pleas for help with protective gear and supplies were exploding in my feeds, especially \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/SomethingWeCanDo/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Something We Can Do\u003c/a>. There are several popular patterns circulating. We’re making the pleated style masks — some with elastic loops that go over the ears and some with ties. This style allows us to make the most with the time and materials we have on hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a similar vein, Monica Thakkar, \u003ca href=\"https://www.operasj.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Opera San Jose’s\u003c/a> artistic administrator, says the company’s costume director, Alyssa Oania, sidelined by the cancellation of this spring’s “Magic Flute,” is instead churning out 70 face masks a week on her home sewing machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a huge contribution, but we’re doing what we can to help our community right now,” Thakkar says. Thakker says the \u003ca href=\"http://vmcfoundation.org/covid19/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Valley Medical Center Foundation\u003c/a> is taking the masks to distribute to health care workers who are not involved in patient care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, the fabric bolts in our costume shop are not medical grade,” Thakkar acknowledged.

Among other things, it encourages the use of low-cost incentives to reward good behavior, like the opportunity to listen to the radio, watch a movie or get an extra snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento County has cut its isolated population roughly in half, to about 60 inmates, said Lt. Alex McCamy: “It’s a limited time frame and a limited group, but the initial impression is positive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Raemisch, who restricted the use of solitary confinement when he headed Colorado’s prison system, said the violent, tense, dirty conditions in Santa Clara County's jail improved markedly with the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Think of yourself being in a cell the size of a parking space for 23 hours a day,” said Raemisch, who consulted with county officials. “At a minimum you’re going to get angry, and when you get angry you’re going to fight back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inmates nationwide are most often segregated for nonviolent “nuisance infractions” like smoking, cursing, disobeying orders or having unauthorized items from the commissary, said the Vera Institute’s Sara Sullivan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County once locked a woman in solitary confinement for 2 1/2 years for talking back to correctional officers or yelling and banging on her cell door with other detainees, according to Specter's lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California counties’ new policy of restricting its use to continued violent behavior could be seen as a national pilot program, Sullivan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"solitary-confinement\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Jersey's Middlesex County Adult Correction Center has lowered the number of isolated inmates and the time they spend there, she said, but with a different approach that lets inmates out of their cells more frequently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hampden County Correctional Center in Massachusetts increased its use of alternative sanctions and positive reinforcement. And Cook County, Illinois, no longer keeps troublesome inmates in isolation, allowing them to regularly spend time with about a half-dozen other inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a decades-long effort to reform solitary, especially in prisons. But what we haven’t seen is a paired reform effort for jails,” said Amy Fettig, director of the American Civil Liberty Union’s Stop Solitary campaign. “In Santa Clara what we’re seeing is an attempt to reform the whole process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-term isolation can be so debilitating, Fettig said, that she’s had clients cut themselves “just to feel something because they’ve become numb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County once had 400 inmates in solitary confinement. Specter’s client in Santa Clara County had been in solitary confinement for nearly five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By last fall there were about 40 inmates confined to isolation cells for an average of about two months, and just 26 by December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said she and many deputies were initially skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has surprised me, and I think it’s very, very good for our inmates,” she said. “I think what we’re doing is correct, and I think it’s working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said she remains concerned that assaults on staff are up. She said the increase is logical, however, since inmates locked in their cells virtually around the clock have little opportunity to assault anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Todd Kendrick, president of the county's correctional officers association, attributed the increase to other less restrictive jail policies as well as the easing of solitary confinement. He and Smith both called for increased staffing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said the county fell into a pattern of protectively isolating inmates to separate purported gang members and those charged with murder and to safeguard jailhouse informants or sex offenders for fear they would be harmed. Officials sought to improve after several major incidents, including deaths in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most jails, three-quarters or more of inmates had not been convicted of a crime and yet spent months and sometimes years awaiting trial in isolation. Under the new policy, “it’s really our philosophy to use that when it’s absolutely necessary, when there’s extraordinary risk,” Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jail employees work to get inmates out of segregation as quickly as possible, often using a system in which inmates agree, in writing, not to assault each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One inmate refused for 1 1/2 years to leave solitary because he had testified against other gang members, recalled Capt. Thomas Duran, who coordinates the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he saw other longtime inmates leaving segregation and eventually agreed to try it. Rather than put him immediately in with other inmates, deputies paired him with a single inmate — then two other inmates, then four and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He spent more and more time out of his solitary cell until he was fully back into the general jail population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to set the inmates up not to fail,” Duran said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And Cook County, Illinois, no longer keeps troublesome inmates in isolation, allowing them to regularly spend time with about a half-dozen other inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a decades-long effort to reform solitary, especially in prisons. But what we haven’t seen is a paired reform effort for jails,” said Amy Fettig, director of the American Civil Liberty Union’s Stop Solitary campaign. “In Santa Clara what we’re seeing is an attempt to reform the whole process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-term isolation can be so debilitating, Fettig said, that she’s had clients cut themselves “just to feel something because they’ve become numb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County once had 400 inmates in solitary confinement. Specter’s client in Santa Clara County had been in solitary confinement for nearly five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By last fall there were about 40 inmates confined to isolation cells for an average of about two months, and just 26 by December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said she and many deputies were initially skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has surprised me, and I think it’s very, very good for our inmates,” she said. “I think what we’re doing is correct, and I think it’s working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said she remains concerned that assaults on staff are up. She said the increase is logical, however, since inmates locked in their cells virtually around the clock have little opportunity to assault anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Todd Kendrick, president of the county's correctional officers association, attributed the increase to other less restrictive jail policies as well as the easing of solitary confinement. He and Smith both called for increased staffing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said the county fell into a pattern of protectively isolating inmates to separate purported gang members and those charged with murder and to safeguard jailhouse informants or sex offenders for fear they would be harmed. Officials sought to improve after several major incidents, including deaths in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most jails, three-quarters or more of inmates had not been convicted of a crime and yet spent months and sometimes years awaiting trial in isolation. Under the new policy, “it’s really our philosophy to use that when it’s absolutely necessary, when there’s extraordinary risk,” Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jail employees work to get inmates out of segregation as quickly as possible, often using a system in which inmates agree, in writing, not to assault each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One inmate refused for 1 1/2 years to leave solitary because he had testified against other gang members, recalled Capt. Thomas Duran, who coordinates the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he saw other longtime inmates leaving segregation and eventually agreed to try it. Rather than put him immediately in with other inmates, deputies paired him with a single inmate — then two other inmates, then four and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He spent more and more time out of his solitary cell until he was fully back into the general jail population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s unique, in fact, in Santa Clara County planning,” said Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, who led the county’s negotiations with Stanford. “It’s an opportunity for the university to plan longer term, over a 15-20 year horizon. But the challenge is always going to be the same with any developer out there. The applicant always wants what they want, and they want to give up as little as possible to get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps 20 years ago, when the last general use permit was approved, 3.5 million square feet and 9,610 more faculty, staff and students would not have caused much of a stir in Santa Clara County offices. But times have changed, and the 9,610 comes on top of a Stanford community numbering near 34,000 people, including undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Who Owns Silicon Valley?\" tag=\"who-owns-silicon-valley\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes Stanford as big as some of the tech titans of Silicon Valley, and like those major employers, Stanford finds itself engaged now in a new public conversation about its physical footprint in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the county’s planning commission unanimously voted to recommend that the supervisors approve Stanford’s application, but if and only if Stanford agreed to certain changes. One of their top demands would have been a requirement that Stanford \u003ca href=\"https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/countyofsantaclara/pages/16/attachments/original/1558655720/Attachment_F_General_Use_Permit_Conditions_of_Approval.pdf?1558655720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quadruple the amount of housing\u003c/a> it was originally proposing to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one example of the “full mitigation” county officials were demanding, insisting the university offset all of its expected impacts to local housing, traffic and schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for instance, at a recent public meeting in Palo Alto, Stanford senior Amulya Yerrapotu spoke on behalf of \u003ca href=\"https://scope2035.weebly.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCOPE 2035,\u003c/a> a student group lobbying Stanford to house more of its own service workers and other staff. “The question here today is not whether Stanford is a good school,” Yerrapotu said. “It’s about who gets to reap the benefit of development and who has to bear the costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its press release last week — Stanford declined to comment beyond that — officials said they’d come around to delivering all of the housing the county asked for. But that followed months of back- and-forth, including a well-publicized \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11757024/stanford-wants-to-expand-and-hopes-4-7-billion-in-mitigations-will-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">counterproposal\u003c/a> and at least two lawsuits brought by Stanford, \u003ca href=\"https://padailypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/stanford-dismiss-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one\u003c/a> of which was thrown out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for traffic mitigations stipulated by the county, Stanford concluded in its press release they were simply unfeasible.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb class=\"\">Stanford’s Footprint in Silicon Valley\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“I’m writing a book about the 1960s,” said Lenny Siegel, former Mountain View mayor turned housing advocate. “I dug out a flyer about how Palo Alto had more than twice as many jobs as employed residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is a different story.

Housing providers also have to pass a background check and a home inspection, provide proof of ownership or approval from a landlord to sublease, and have a private bedroom available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last year, there were more than 1,300 inquiries about the matchmaking program.

After hearing about similar house-sharing programs in other Bay Area counties, Vivian and Bruce decided to take the plunge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were a little reluctant to just list our room ourself, but the beauty of this is, you are fingerprinted,\" Vivian explained. \"They do an extensive background check and you give three references.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vetting process, which takes at minimum three weeks to complete, is designed to eliminate any worries a housing provider might have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They ask you everything from: How often can the person be in your house? Do you want them to be working? Do you want them to rarely be there? What are your sleeping hours?

And if so, who's going to pay to replace them?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After going through this sort of personality quiz, case managers matched Vivian and Bruce with Elena, who also asked to use her first name only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elena had to go through the same rigorous cross-checking. For $400 a month, she rents out what used to be Vivian's daughter’s room. She has her own private bathroom and she shares common spaces like the kitchen and living room.
