But if you’re short on time and just want the highlights, this post’s for you:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.Work backwards\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many places for a new housing development to start — a plot of land, a vacant building, heck, just the need for housing itself is a starting point. But according to Peter Cohen, co-director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfccho.org/\">Council of Community Housing Organization\u003c/a>, the best way to ensure affordable housing is to first consider who will live in a given building, and then take the steps necessary to achieve housing for that population. \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">If Bay Area officials are serious about providing housing for the middle class, they need to start with that in mind.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Affordable housing is typically built for a very specific income-level of household and also for a particular population. Maybe it’s built for seniors, maybe it’s for families, and maybe it’s for transitional-age youth. So the calculation at the front – of how much those rents or those ownership prices will be — is already known, and then that works backwards into operating costs and construction costs, and the subsidy is calculated from there. But it’s very intentional about who we are building for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Prioritize regional solutions \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too often San Francisco gets all the attention. But unfortunately a lack of middle-class-friendly housing is not unique to San Francisco, and the solution won’t be found within its 49 square miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rest of the region has not done its share,” said Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based urban planning organization. “It has not either permitted enough affordable housing or simply has not created walkable places. So the pressure on San Francisco is all the greater. We need help from the rest of the region to solve this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cohen points out that some regional planning does take place, specifically at the hands of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of Bay Area Governments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state on a regular basis, every 5 to 7 years, comes up with some calculations of projected housing needs based on the growing workforce in every part of the state of California,” said Cohen. “The Bay Area gets what is called a ‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Housing Needs Allocation\u003c/a>.’ Those, in turn, are distributed to each county and city as their share of the housing production that they need to produce over the next 5 to 7 years. And that’s broken down by affordability level. San Francisco has its share, Burlingame has its share, Concord has its share. The crisis we’re in on a regional level is not a whole lot different from San Francisco, except the factors are different. We are dramatically underproducing low-income housing and middle-income housing across the region, and from a numbers standpoint, overproducing market-rate housing. So there is a structural problem with the market relative to need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But often, despite a region’s good intentions, \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/contracostatimes/ci_24562439/lafayette-mayor-homeowners-debate-growth-at-state-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local officials have a hard time getting their communities on board\u003c/a> with such plans. And that brings us to our next point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Drop the NIMBY-ism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[NIMBY-ism] is probably the biggest problem we face,” said Karen Chapple, associate director of the \u003ca href=\"http://iurd.berkeley.edu/\">Institute for Urban and Regional Development\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley. “We don’t have an easy solution. I think it’s changing over time as people see that their own kids can’t live in their cities. Eventually they come to their senses, but they’re still going to fight the apartment building on their block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Consider public transportation when planning and pricing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an October \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201310311000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussion on the state of the Bay Area real estate market\u003c/a>, Carolyn Said, who covers economics and real estate for the San Francisco Chronicle, made the point that Solano County is a great place to live if you can work an off-schedule or work from home. In other words, if you don’t have to commute. Some of the least affordable (or should we say “less expensive”) areas in the Bay Area remain that way because a lack of transit infrastructure makes them less appealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Chapple, public transit needs to be part of the affordable housing discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our cost of housing is not just how much we pay for rent and utilities, or mortgage and utilities,” said Chapple. “It’s also location, and how much that is costing us. How efficient is the location?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to think of transportation costs as part of this overall affordability question, which is where the regional issue becomes so salient… \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">We think we’re adding affordability out in Antioch, but in reality, we’re actually adding more transportation costs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be very strategic in thinking about where we’re going to put this housing,” Chapple continued. “So let’s look at our corridors, because that’s where there isn’t that much community objection. Let’s look at El Camino Real, let’s look at San Pablo Avenue, let’s look at Telegraph Avenue, and let’s incentivize building on these corridors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Peter Cohen warns that vulnerable populations often live along those transportation corridors and he cites concerns with \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/regional-initiatives/plan-bay-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a>, a regional transportation and housing plan aimed at accommodating growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307220900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a> is essentially a growth vision for all the population of the region over the next 20 years or so, and 75 percent of it goes into those El Camino Real corridors or those urbanized neighborhoods,” said Cohen. “Which, from a land use standpoint and an urbanism standpoint, is good. … [But] if you overlay that with where there are communities that are actually vulnerable for displacement – gentrification displacement – it’s a very close match. That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Show affordable housing the money\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen also goes on to criticize Plan Bay Area for its lack of monetary teeth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no funding source for the affordable housing that’s necessary to make that kind of vision work,” he said. “It’s just basically a numerical game plan and then the market builds. But the market only builds for a segment of that need and without the money, what you have is a recipe for displacement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how much does it cost to build affordable or subsidized housing? A lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It probably costs, depending on who you’re building for, a few hundred thousand dollars in subsidies per unit,” said Gabriel Metcalf. “And maybe a third of that [comes from local sources]. So call it a $100,000 in subsidy, locally, per unit. You can kind of multiply that by how many people you want to help, and you can help thousands of people, but there will still be hundreds of thousands of people who are not going to get one of those units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Think beyond the single-family unit\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a study on the East Bay of the potential for building in-law units, and compared it to the potential for building multi-family buildings, and we found that about half of our in-field developments should be coming from in-law units,” said Karen Chapple. “In many of our larger lots it’s very hard to assemble, it’s very expensive. It can cost one quarter the amount to build an in-law unit in the back of a single-family home. That said, it does need to be price controlled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are starting to recognize the role that secondary units can play in easing the housing crunch. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=69198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed allowing in-law units to be built in his district\u003c/a> and Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced legislation that would \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-in-law-proposal-would-make-units-legal-5011267.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legalize existing secondary units\u003c/a> that were built illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think Bay Area officials should do to increase the amount of affordable housing in the region? We welcome your suggestions in the comments below.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But according to Peter Cohen, co-director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfccho.org/\">Council of Community Housing Organization\u003c/a>, the best way to ensure affordable housing is to first consider who will live in a given building, and then take the steps necessary to achieve housing for that population. \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">If Bay Area officials are serious about providing housing for the middle class, they need to start with that in mind.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Affordable housing is typically built for a very specific income-level of household and also for a particular population. Maybe it’s built for seniors, maybe it’s for families, and maybe it’s for transitional-age youth. So the calculation at the front – of how much those rents or those ownership prices will be — is already known, and then that works backwards into operating costs and construction costs, and the subsidy is calculated from there. But it’s very intentional about who we are building for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Prioritize regional solutions \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too often San Francisco gets all the attention. But unfortunately a lack of middle-class-friendly housing is not unique to San Francisco, and the solution won’t be found within its 49 square miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rest of the region has not done its share,” said Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\">SPUR\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based urban planning organization. “It has not either permitted enough affordable housing or simply has not created walkable places. So the pressure on San Francisco is all the greater. We need help from the rest of the region to solve this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cohen points out that some regional planning does take place, specifically at the hands of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of Bay Area Governments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state on a regular basis, every 5 to 7 years, comes up with some calculations of projected housing needs based on the growing workforce in every part of the state of California,” said Cohen. “The Bay Area gets what is called a ‘\u003ca href=\"http://www.abag.ca.gov/planning/housingneeds/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Housing Needs Allocation\u003c/a>.’ Those, in turn, are distributed to each county and city as their share of the housing production that they need to produce over the next 5 to 7 years. And that’s broken down by affordability level. San Francisco has its share, Burlingame has its share, Concord has its share. The crisis we’re in on a regional level is not a whole lot different from San Francisco, except the factors are different. We are dramatically underproducing low-income housing and middle-income housing across the region, and from a numbers standpoint, overproducing market-rate housing. So there is a structural problem with the market relative to need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But often, despite a region’s good intentions, \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/contracostatimes/ci_24562439/lafayette-mayor-homeowners-debate-growth-at-state-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local officials have a hard time getting their communities on board\u003c/a> with such plans. And that brings us to our next point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Drop the NIMBY-ism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[NIMBY-ism] is probably the biggest problem we face,” said Karen Chapple, associate director of the \u003ca href=\"http://iurd.berkeley.edu/\">Institute for Urban and Regional Development\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley. “We don’t have an easy solution. I think it’s changing over time as people see that their own kids can’t live in their cities. Eventually they come to their senses, but they’re still going to fight the apartment building on their block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Consider public transportation when planning and pricing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an October \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201310311000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discussion on the state of the Bay Area real estate market\u003c/a>, Carolyn Said, who covers economics and real estate for the San Francisco Chronicle, made the point that Solano County is a great place to live if you can work an off-schedule or work from home. In other words, if you don’t have to commute. Some of the least affordable (or should we say “less expensive”) areas in the Bay Area remain that way because a lack of transit infrastructure makes them less appealing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Chapple, public transit needs to be part of the affordable housing discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our cost of housing is not just how much we pay for rent and utilities, or mortgage and utilities,” said Chapple. “It’s also location, and how much that is costing us. How efficient is the location?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to think of transportation costs as part of this overall affordability question, which is where the regional issue becomes so salient… \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">We think we’re adding affordability out in Antioch, but in reality, we’re actually adding more transportation costs.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be very strategic in thinking about where we’re going to put this housing,” Chapple continued. “So let’s look at our corridors, because that’s where there isn’t that much community objection. Let’s look at El Camino Real, let’s look at San Pablo Avenue, let’s look at Telegraph Avenue, and let’s incentivize building on these corridors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Peter Cohen warns that vulnerable populations often live along those transportation corridors and he cites concerns with \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/regional-initiatives/plan-bay-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a>, a regional transportation and housing plan aimed at accommodating growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201307220900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Bay Area\u003c/a> is essentially a growth vision for all the population of the region over the next 20 years or so, and 75 percent of it goes into those El Camino Real corridors or those urbanized neighborhoods,” said Cohen. “Which, from a land use standpoint and an urbanism standpoint, is good. … [But] if you overlay that with where there are communities that are actually vulnerable for displacement – gentrification displacement – it’s a very close match. That’s the problem – the places where it’s good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Show affordable housing the money\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen also goes on to criticize Plan Bay Area for its lack of monetary teeth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no funding source for the affordable housing that’s necessary to make that kind of vision work,” he said. “It’s just basically a numerical game plan and then the market builds. But the market only builds for a segment of that need and without the money, what you have is a recipe for displacement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how much does it cost to build affordable or subsidized housing? A lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It probably costs, depending on who you’re building for, a few hundred thousand dollars in subsidies per unit,” said Gabriel Metcalf. “And maybe a third of that [comes from local sources]. So call it a $100,000 in subsidy, locally, per unit. You can kind of multiply that by how many people you want to help, and you can help thousands of people, but there will still be hundreds of thousands of people who are not going to get one of those units.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Think beyond the single-family unit\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a study on the East Bay of the potential for building in-law units, and compared it to the potential for building multi-family buildings, and we found that about half of our in-field developments should be coming from in-law units,” said Karen Chapple. “In many of our larger lots it’s very hard to assemble, it’s very expensive. It can cost one quarter the amount to build an in-law unit in the back of a single-family home. That said, it does need to be price controlled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are starting to recognize the role that secondary units can play in easing the housing crunch. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener has \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=69198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proposed allowing in-law units to be built in his district\u003c/a> and Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced legislation that would \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-in-law-proposal-would-make-units-legal-5011267.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legalize existing secondary units\u003c/a> that were built illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Nearby are a small plastic slide and playhouse, set up so kids could play at the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eliseo Avalos watches his 2-year-old daughter play on the slide, and points out there are no parks in his neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There isn’t a park here within walking distance — you have to drive,\" he says. \"I think the kids can use a park here especially if their parents are working or can’t drive them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avalos is helping keep the candles lit for Andy Lopez. And he’s been heartened by the outpouring of support. He says he hopes something good, whether it’s a playground or greater understanding in the community, comes out of the tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119036591\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

About 100 people showed up this morning to address the regular meeting of the county Board of Supervisors about the killing. Afterward, a crowd of about 200 marched to the nearby Hall of Justice to demand a grand jury investigate the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy who shot Lopez, Erick Gelhaus, spotted the 13-year-old on Oct. 22 carrying what turned out to be a pellet-gun replica of an AK-47 assault rifle. Gelhaus opened fire when Lopez didn't immediately comply with an order to put the gun down and instead began turning toward the deputy. Gelhaus, a 24-year department veteran with extensive experience as a police weapons trainer, fired eight shots, hitting Lopez seven times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa police investigators have emphasized the similarity between the toy gun Lopez was carrying and an actual AK-47. Critics of the shooting have focused on the brief span — apparently less than 10 seconds — between the moment Gelhaus and his partner spotted the teenager and when Gelhaus opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa resident Alfredo Sanchez dramatized that issue at this morning's three-hour Board of Supervisors meeting, saying he was convinced Lopez's ethnicity played a part in the decision to shoot him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three, Mississippi four, Mississippi five, Mississippi six, Mississippi seven, Mississippi eight, Mississippi nine, Mississippi ten. Boom! A life was taken in 10 seconds,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some in the audience raised questions about community policing and citizen oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vince Harper of Community Action Partnership, a Santa Rosa-based anti-poverty organization, said the Latino families he works with are asking a difficult question: \"How can I trust that when I call the police this won’t happen to my family — to my kids?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Rosa Press Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131105/articles/131109790?title=Marchers-protest-Andy-Lopez-killing-in-Santa-Rosa#page=2\" target=\"_blank\">reported \u003c/a>that leaders of the march would be meeting with Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch to discuss the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez's family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit (see document below) on Monday against Gelhaus and Sonoma County, saying the killing was \"a senseless and unwarranted act of police abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other details that depart from the current police account of the shooting, the suit alleges that only three seconds elapsed between the deputies' first shouted warning to Lopez and the time Gelhaus began shooting. The suit also says the deputies never identified themselves as police officers and that Gelhaus continued firing even after the mortally wounded Lopez fell to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Andy Lopez lawsuit on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/181864105/Andy-Lopez-lawsuit\">Andy Lopez lawsuit\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_79393\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/181864105/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alex Emslie contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

About 100 people showed up this morning to address the regular meeting of the county Board of Supervisors about the killing. Afterward, a crowd of about 200 marched to the nearby Hall of Justice to demand a grand jury investigate the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy who shot Lopez, Erick Gelhaus, spotted the 13-year-old on Oct. 22 carrying what turned out to be a pellet-gun replica of an AK-47 assault rifle. Gelhaus opened fire when Lopez didn't immediately comply with an order to put the gun down and instead began turning toward the deputy. Gelhaus, a 24-year department veteran with extensive experience as a police weapons trainer, fired eight shots, hitting Lopez seven times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa police investigators have emphasized the similarity between the toy gun Lopez was carrying and an actual AK-47. Critics of the shooting have focused on the brief span — apparently less than 10 seconds — between the moment Gelhaus and his partner spotted the teenager and when Gelhaus opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa resident Alfredo Sanchez dramatized that issue at this morning's three-hour Board of Supervisors meeting, saying he was convinced Lopez's ethnicity played a part in the decision to shoot him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three, Mississippi four, Mississippi five, Mississippi six, Mississippi seven, Mississippi eight, Mississippi nine, Mississippi ten. Boom! A life was taken in 10 seconds,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Paul Henry of the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is handling the investigation, displayed the \"toy\" or \"replica\" gun Andy was holding alongside a real AK-47 assault rifle. According to Bay City News, Henry said \"Andy's gun had a thinner barrel that was 6 to 8 inches shorter than the real rifle and was colored differently but was missing the orange plastic tip that typical differentiates a fake gun from a real one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Press Democrat describes the toy and real weapons as being \"remarkably similar,\" but adds:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... In the light of the Finley Center the model Lopez carried was clearly plastic with a transparent center section. The BB gun also had a shorter barrel. Henry noted that the orange or red tip often found on toy guns appeared to be missing from the model Lopez carried.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The BCN report continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After spotting Andy and stopping their marked patrol car with the top rotating lights activated about 20 to 30 feet from him, the deputies called for backup, sheltered behind the open car door and ordered Andy to \"put the gun down,\" Henry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy, wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and shorts, was walking with his back to the two deputies. After they yelled the order, he started turning around and as he did one of the deputies said he saw the barrel of the gun rising and turning toward him, according to Henry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy, fearing for his safety and knowing that style of gun could penetrate body armor, the metal exterior of the patrol car and the walls of the houses nearby, fired several rounds at Andy, striking him at least once, Henry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy immediately fell to the ground.

The two deputies repeatedly ordered the subject to drop the rifle and at some point immediately thereafter, the deputies fired several rounds from their handguns at the subject striking him several times. The subject fell to the ground and landed on top of the rifle he was carrying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After several commands ordering the subject to move away from the rifle deputies approached and placed him in handcuffs.

Paul Henry of the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is handling the investigation, displayed the \"toy\" or \"replica\" gun Andy was holding alongside a real AK-47 assault rifle.

After they yelled the order, he started turning around and as he did one of the deputies said he saw the barrel of the gun rising and turning toward him, according to Henry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy, fearing for his safety and knowing that style of gun could penetrate body armor, the metal exterior of the patrol car and the walls of the houses nearby, fired several rounds at Andy, striking him at least once, Henry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy immediately fell to the ground.

"content": "\u003cp>Growing up in Berkeley, I never had any doubt about which direction to head for the wine country: North. I went either to Sonoma County, where years ago I helped my family put in 35 acres of Sauvignon Blanc, or to Napa County, where some wineries have long made tastings into an adult theme park experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I felt disoriented when the Wine Enthusiast magazine named Monterey County one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.winemag.com/Wine-Enthusiast-Magazine/Best-Of-Year-2012/Wine-Travel-Destination-2013-Monterey-County-California/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top 10 “wine travel destinations”\u003c/a> in the world — without mentioning any other location in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly the magazine was trying to be provocative. No place in France made the list, and the most familiar wine regions in Italy and Germany were also missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The magazine made it clear that it wasn’t just ranking regions based on the flavor of the vino. Here’s why Monterey qualified:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Monterey County is one of California’s premier wine-producing regions, but it also has long been a destination for travelers. It has beautiful scenery, including Big Sur, the 17-Mile Drive and the Pebble Beach golf courses. It has the tourist venues of Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf. It has the upscale galleries and bistros of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In short, Monterey has diverse draws for wine-oriented visitors. Glamorous resorts dot the county, featuring world-class cuisine, stellar local wines and full spas that pamper with style. The city of Monterey is only about 100 or so miles from downtown San Francisco, making it an easy detour for a multiday trek.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_87392\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 335px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/why-monterey-beat-napa-as-californias-top-wine-destination/tabott-vineyard-grapes-1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-87392\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-87392 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/Tabott-Vineyard-Grapes-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Pinot noir grapes from Talbott Vineyards (Talbott Vineyards)\" width=\"335\" height=\"261\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pinot noir grapes from Talbott Vineyards (Talbott Vineyards)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, the list caused double takes in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/09/monterey-county-wine-_n_2444142.html#slide=1963790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/travel/centralcoasting/article/Monterey-named-top-wine-travel-destination-for-4176330.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle \u003c/a>and other publications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So as a News Fix blogger, I felt I should conduct an investigation. The first idea I dreamed up, a fact-finding mission to the top wineries throughout the state, didn’t survive the light of day. My duty, a minute-by-minute monitoring of Bay Area news, is really only possible from my desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I did the next best thing: talk to folks on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napa may not have quite as many tourist attractions as Monterey, but Allison Simpson, vice president of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://napavalley.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Napa Valley\u003c/a>, points out that it has about 400 wineries — 150 of them open to the public. By comparison, Monterey has only 71 wineries with 31 tasting rooms.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not so much that Napa grows so much more wine – both have about 45,000 acres of vineyards — but Monterey sends more of its grapes to be bottled elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Napa Valley is a world-famous, highly regarded wine region for a reason,” said Simpson. “We grow and make great wines and our vintners are renowned for their warm hospitality and that’s what makes it such a great place to come and taste and drink.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that Napa’s microclimates allow it to grow an \u003ca href=\"http://www.napavintners.com/wines/napa_valley_grape_varieties.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unusually wide range\u003c/a> of grape varieties. Of course, Monterey also lays claim to a \u003ca href=\"http://montereywines.org/monterey-wines/42-varietals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long list of varieties\u003c/a>. So I called Jon Fredrickson of \u003ca href=\"http://www.gfawine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates\u003c/a> a wine industry consultant in Woodside, hoping for an unbiased analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monterey has built up a number of interesting growing regions,” he said. “It has nowhere near the number of wineries you would find in Napa or Sonoma.

I went either to Sonoma County, where years ago I helped my family put in 35 acres of Sauvignon Blanc, or to Napa County, where some wineries have long made tastings into an adult theme park experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I felt disoriented when the Wine Enthusiast magazine named Monterey County one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.winemag.com/Wine-Enthusiast-Magazine/Best-Of-Year-2012/Wine-Travel-Destination-2013-Monterey-County-California/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top 10 “wine travel destinations”\u003c/a> in the world — without mentioning any other location in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly the magazine was trying to be provocative. No place in France made the list, and the most familiar wine regions in Italy and Germany were also missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The magazine made it clear that it wasn’t just ranking regions based on the flavor of the vino. Here’s why Monterey qualified:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Monterey County is one of California’s premier wine-producing regions, but it also has long been a destination for travelers. It has beautiful scenery, including Big Sur, the 17-Mile Drive and the Pebble Beach golf courses. It has the tourist venues of Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf. It has the upscale galleries and bistros of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In short, Monterey has diverse draws for wine-oriented visitors. Glamorous resorts dot the county, featuring world-class cuisine, stellar local wines and full spas that pamper with style. The city of Monterey is only about 100 or so miles from downtown San Francisco, making it an easy detour for a multiday trek.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_87392\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 335px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/why-monterey-beat-napa-as-californias-top-wine-destination/tabott-vineyard-grapes-1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-87392\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-87392 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/Tabott-Vineyard-Grapes-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Pinot noir grapes from Talbott Vineyards (Talbott Vineyards)\" width=\"335\" height=\"261\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pinot noir grapes from Talbott Vineyards (Talbott Vineyards)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, the list caused double takes in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/09/monterey-county-wine-_n_2444142.html#slide=1963790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/travel/centralcoasting/article/Monterey-named-top-wine-travel-destination-for-4176330.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle \u003c/a>and other publications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The first idea I dreamed up, a fact-finding mission to the top wineries throughout the state, didn’t survive the light of day. My duty, a minute-by-minute monitoring of Bay Area news, is really only possible from my desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I did the next best thing: talk to folks on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napa may not have quite as many tourist attractions as Monterey, but Allison Simpson, vice president of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://napavalley.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Napa Valley\u003c/a>, points out that it has about 400 wineries — 150 of them open to the public. By comparison, Monterey has only 71 wineries with 31 tasting rooms.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not so much that Napa grows so much more wine – both have about 45,000 acres of vineyards — but Monterey sends more of its grapes to be bottled elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Napa Valley is a world-famous, highly regarded wine region for a reason,” said Simpson. “We grow and make great wines and our vintners are renowned for their warm hospitality and that’s what makes it such a great place to come and taste and drink.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that Napa’s microclimates allow it to grow an \u003ca href=\"http://www.napavintners.com/wines/napa_valley_grape_varieties.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unusually wide range\u003c/a> of grape varieties. Of course, Monterey also lays claim to a \u003ca href=\"http://montereywines.org/monterey-wines/42-varietals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long list of varieties\u003c/a>. So I called Jon Fredrickson of \u003ca href=\"http://www.gfawine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates\u003c/a> a wine industry consultant in Woodside, hoping for an unbiased analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monterey has built up a number of interesting growing regions,” he said. “It has nowhere near the number of wineries you would find in Napa or Sonoma. But it’s less well known so you get more attention when you visit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me that Monterey is too cool for some of the wines that made Napa’s reputation, such as cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Wineries are also spread farther apart in Monterey, so the avid wine taster will have to do more driving between sips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a lot of good chardonnay is coming out of Monterey. And when it comes to pinot noir, he said, Monterey County’s Santa Lucia Highlands—in the hills west of the Salinas Valley—can match any in the world, including the Carneros district of southern Sonoma and Napa counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And something else distinguishes Santa Lucia Highlands wines, said Fredrickson: “You get a lot of value for your money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Click on the pins to find out what wine costs at these three wineries in the Santa Lucia Highlands\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d45e4aa79845b0bde&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=36.458845,-121.442871&spn=0.773158,1.167297&z=9&output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\nView \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d45e4aa79845b0bde&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=36.458845,-121.442871&spn=0.773158,1.167297&z=9&source=embed\">Santa Lucia Highlands\u003c/a> in a larger map\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My ears pricked up at that.
