If that were the case, I wouldn’t be supporting a guy like Donald Trump,” he said. \"Maybe I just have bad luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuellar also agrees with Trump about the need for a stronger border wall between Mexico and America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if a stricter immigration policy under a Trump presidency resulted in his own father being threatened with deportation? Cuellar said his father, Jose, would willingly obey the law of the land and leave the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">I\u003c/a>n fact, the younger Cuellar has even convinced his father to support Trump, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after all of Trump's anti-Latino rants, \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">24 percent of Latino registered voters still plan to vote for him\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">.\u003c/a> Although Cuellar has been called names and has lost friends, he stands firm on his decision to vote for Trump.

In fact, 68 percent of Trump supporters believe immigration is a huge problem in the U.S. according to a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/08/18/clinton-trump-supporters-have-starkly-different-views-of-a-changing-nation/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pew Research report.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cuellar believes America’s current immigration policies are flawed, and that more resources should be used to support U.S. citizens rather than undocumented immigrants. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, we are just being overloaded with too many immigrants, and I believe that we must try to at least have a good flow on how many immigrants we can accept without making it a burden to the country,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Saturday, Cuellar goes door to door campaigning for Trump. He and his father visit affluent neighborhoods along Richmond’s waterfront. They knock on every door, even engaging people who are walking their dogs or riding bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Cuellar comes across a Trump supporter, he beams with excitement, giving the person a sturdy handshake. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Cuellar meets a Hillary Clinton supporter, he asks if there is any way to change their minds. He suggests third-party candidates like Jill Stein, hands out a \"Why you should not vote for Hillary” pamphlet and describes Clinton as “anti-women” because she has\u003ca href=\"https://www.clintonfoundation.org/contributors?category=%2410%2C000%2C001+to+%2425%2C000%2C000\"> accepted donations\u003c/a> from countries like Saudi Arabia. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though a few people slam their doors after hearing Trump’s name, many listen to Cuellar’s points on why Trump should be president. Cuellar lists Trump’s accomplishments in business and argues that Trump can save the U.S. economy. He pledges that Trump will create more jobs for minorities and focus on the betterment of U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Trump] is the only person, from what I can tell, to actually take America’s immigration policy seriously. His plan of putting Americans first is my favorite thing about his stances,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuellar says he doesn't see Trump as anti-Latino but Pro-American, because he himself identifies as American more than he identifies as Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although his parents were once undocumented immigrants, Cuellar considers them an exception — good, hardworking people who are deserving of their new lives in America. \u003c/span>Freddy balls his right fist and hits his knee when he talks about how hard they had to work to get where they are today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cuellar agrees with Donald Trump that many immigrants, unlike his own family, come to the U.S. with \"problems.\" He said he and his family have had multiple bad interactions with undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the media, I always see people pushing the idea of all undocumented immigrants being hard workers and all-around kindhearted people. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be supporting a guy like Donald Trump,” he said. \"Maybe I just have bad luck.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuellar also agrees with Trump about the need for a stronger border wall between Mexico and America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if a stricter immigration policy under a Trump presidency resulted in his own father being threatened with deportation? Cuellar said his father, Jose, would willingly obey the law of the land and leave the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">I\u003c/a>n fact, the younger Cuellar has even convinced his father to support Trump, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after all of Trump's anti-Latino rants, \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">24 percent of Latino registered voters still plan to vote for him\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/\">.\u003c/a> Although Cuellar has been called names and has lost friends, he stands firm on his decision to vote for Trump. He said he once hated Trump because of what he read in the media, but changed his mind after doing his own research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m supporting Donald Trump no matter what,\" said Cuellar. \"I don’t care about other people’s opinions.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The group is made up of tech employees, lawyers, teachers, landlords and day laborers. Ortiz is a Google employee. He and hundreds of volunteers attended numerous City Council meetings over the past year pushing for rent control and just cause eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve met families where the husband is a software engineer, the wife is a medical professional, and even they are facing displacement,” Ortiz added. “This is an issue that affects all families, not just working-class or low-income families. It’s the entirety of Mountain View.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech worker and single mother Stacy Dow moved to Mountain View right before Google did in 1999. Dow was an artist when she migrated from San Diego to the Bay Area. She started working in the tech sector in order to afford rent, care for her infant daughters and continue living in Mountain View. The median house value in Mountain View \u003ca href=\"http://www.city-data.com/city/Mountain-View-California.html\">doubled between 2000 and 2013.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At first, it was exciting having Google here,” Dow said. “But at some point it kind of shifted, and it felt like Google was really gobbling up the city. Everything in the city became impacted by their presence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the amendment argue that rent control causes tenants to stay in places they wouldn’t stay otherwise. Tenants who can afford higher rents stay in rent-controlled apartments longer because they’re stabilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marie, a Mountain View landlord who requested her last name not to used, believes rent control stagnates the housing market. “In the long run it ends up taking units off the market, which basically creates an issue with supply and demand,” she said. “It makes it harder for people to find housing that are relocating to the area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mountain View Councilman Michael Kasperzak, the majority of the council doesn't agree with the principle of rent control and is opposed to the coalition's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re using a jackhammer to swat a fly,” said Kasperzak. “There are a lot of ways to deal with tenant displacement issues rather than doing something as serious as amending the city’s charter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike city ordinances, which can be changed by a council vote, charter amendments require the approval of city voters. If this amendment is passed, it could then be altered only by another citywide election, a prospect that worries Kasperzak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the coalition's proposal qualified for the ballot, the City Council announced its own plan to draft an alternate rent control measure for the November ballot. According to a recent Mountain View Tenants Coalition press release, Councilmen Kasperzak, John McAlister and Chris Clark supported the drafting of a second rent control ballot measure, though they’ve opposed rent control in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance will be reviewed Aug. 9 for a final decision on its fate. If the second measure is placed on the ballot, Mountain View voters will have to decide on two different rent control measures this November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tenants who can afford higher rents stay in rent-controlled apartments longer because they’re stabilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marie, a Mountain View landlord who requested her last name not to used, believes rent control stagnates the housing market. “In the long run it ends up taking units off the market, which basically creates an issue with supply and demand,” she said. “It makes it harder for people to find housing that are relocating to the area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mountain View Councilman Michael Kasperzak, the majority of the council doesn't agree with the principle of rent control and is opposed to the coalition's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re using a jackhammer to swat a fly,” said Kasperzak. “There are a lot of ways to deal with tenant displacement issues rather than doing something as serious as amending the city’s charter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike city ordinances, which can be changed by a council vote, charter amendments require the approval of city voters. If this amendment is passed, it could then be altered only by another citywide election, a prospect that worries Kasperzak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the coalition's proposal qualified for the ballot, the City Council announced its own plan to draft an alternate rent control measure for the November ballot. According to a recent Mountain View Tenants Coalition press release, Councilmen Kasperzak, John McAlister and Chris Clark supported the drafting of a second rent control ballot measure, though they’ve opposed rent control in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance will be reviewed Aug. 9 for a final decision on its fate. If the second measure is placed on the ballot, Mountain View voters will have to decide on two different rent control measures this November.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

No one was sure how many, but emergency shelters were taking in close to a thousand, while many more eked out a life in the alleys and the parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why was this happening?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, we were in the middle of a recession. Twelve million people were unemployed across the country, 1.5 million in California, and 150,000 in the Bay Area. Manufacturing plants were shutting down, people were hurting. It was the beginning of what we now know as “the de-industrialization of America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsweek declared it “The Hard-Luck Christmas of ’82,” saying “with 12 million unemployed and 2 million homeless, private charity cannot make up for federal cutbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that was the other reason: cutbacks. Under President Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980, the government had slashed federal housing subsidies and poverty programs, including food stamps. Low-cost housing was vanishing, especially in cities like San Francisco, where the housing market was already tight and expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10998258\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1418px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10998258\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2.jpg\" alt='A still from the 1983 KQED documentary, \"To Have and Have Not.\"' width=\"1418\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2.jpg 1418w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-400x305.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-800x609.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-1180x899.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-960x731.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1418px) 100vw, 1418px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from the 1983 KQED documentary, \"To Have and Have Not.\" \u003ccite>(KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There was at least one more cause of this new homeless calamity: the closing of mental health hospitals without creating an adequate safety net of neighborhood clinics and support services. This process had begun in the '70s but deepened every year. “We have a lot more people with emotional problems,” Doyle told us at her shelter in the Mission. “A lot of people who have been dumped out of the mental health system literally with a handful of Thorazine and dumped on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recession, unemployment, cutbacks in federal support for housing and the poor, and a breakdown in mental health services -- all this formed a perfect storm, and the victims were people we began to call “the homeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t as bad as the Great Depression of the 1930s, when a third of the country was unemployed, and sprawling camps of the hungry and desperate – “Hoovervilles” – emerged everywhere from New York’s Central Park to downtown L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in some ways it had a nastier edge. The homeless in San Francisco in the early 1980s lived in the midst of recession-proof wealth. They were surrounded by those with old Pacific Heights money and the new prosperity of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. In Los Gatos, a Ferrari dealer told me he was experiencing record sales. Sometimes customers forked over $80,000 in cash for a new sports car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my lifetime, which began in the postwar prosperity of the ’50s and '60s, this “tale of two cities” clash was the beginning of the long era of “income inequality” that has so divided our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"rectangular\" ids=\"10998256,10998255\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are scenes in “To Have and Have Not” of homeless people and their advocates starting to organize and march on City Hall to demand and receive emergency shelter. There’s also a skirmish in which police drag off some homeless men who refused to leave the temporary sanctuary of a broken-down Muni bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, this is still what’s happening, still the way we treat the homeless: provide services, which are ample but never enough, tolerate a certain level of suffering on the streets, and resort to criminal prosecution and even police shootings when someone feels threatened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty-four years after I first saw and filmed homeless people in the City of St. Francis, I never expected to see this crisis still festering, still unresolved. And I have the same thought I had back then: We are a resilient, democratic, prosperous society, but at what point does a city, a country, become so economically divided that it tears itself apart?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Stephen Talbot was a staff reporter and producer at KQED-TV from 1980 to 1989.

Twelve million people were unemployed across the country, 1.5 million in California, and 150,000 in the Bay Area. Manufacturing plants were shutting down, people were hurting. It was the beginning of what we now know as “the de-industrialization of America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsweek declared it “The Hard-Luck Christmas of ’82,” saying “with 12 million unemployed and 2 million homeless, private charity cannot make up for federal cutbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that was the other reason: cutbacks. Under President Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980, the government had slashed federal housing subsidies and poverty programs, including food stamps. Low-cost housing was vanishing, especially in cities like San Francisco, where the housing market was already tight and expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10998258\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1418px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10998258\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2.jpg\" alt='A still from the 1983 KQED documentary, \"To Have and Have Not.\"' width=\"1418\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2.jpg 1418w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-400x305.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-800x609.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-1180x899.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/tohaveandhavenot_1-2-960x731.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1418px) 100vw, 1418px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from the 1983 KQED documentary, \"To Have and Have Not.\" \u003ccite>(KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There was at least one more cause of this new homeless calamity: the closing of mental health hospitals without creating an adequate safety net of neighborhood clinics and support services. This process had begun in the '70s but deepened every year. “We have a lot more people with emotional problems,” Doyle told us at her shelter in the Mission. “A lot of people who have been dumped out of the mental health system literally with a handful of Thorazine and dumped on the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recession, unemployment, cutbacks in federal support for housing and the poor, and a breakdown in mental health services -- all this formed a perfect storm, and the victims were people we began to call “the homeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t as bad as the Great Depression of the 1930s, when a third of the country was unemployed, and sprawling camps of the hungry and desperate – “Hoovervilles” – emerged everywhere from New York’s Central Park to downtown L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in some ways it had a nastier edge. The homeless in San Francisco in the early 1980s lived in the midst of recession-proof wealth. They were surrounded by those with old Pacific Heights money and the new prosperity of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. In Los Gatos, a Ferrari dealer told me he was experiencing record sales. Sometimes customers forked over $80,000 in cash for a new sports car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my lifetime, which began in the postwar prosperity of the ’50s and '60s, this “tale of two cities” clash was the beginning of the long era of “income inequality” that has so divided our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For example, Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan said the city already allocated $100,000 last year to support the city’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2014/11/06/oakland-officially-okays-tenant-protection-ordinance\" target=\"_blank\">Tenant Protection Ordinance\u003c/a>.

The council pushed the city Tuesday night to find a group that could manage that pot of money, which is supposed to be used for education and outreach services for tenants to learn their rights -- a major systemic failure for Oaklanders being displaced, according to housing advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10921681\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10921681\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-1920x1075.jpg\" alt=\"People wait to speak about the rent moratorium ordinance before the Oakland City Council in City Hall on April 5, 2016.\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-400x224.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-800x448.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-1180x661.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-960x538.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People wait to speak about the rent moratorium ordinance before the Oakland City Council in City Hall on April 5, 2016. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The early-morning vote also doesn't solve another major problem -- a state law known as the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act that exempts about 40 percent of Oakland’s rental stock from the moratorium, according to Mayor Libby Schaaf, who spoke on KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> yesterday. The units exempt from the moratorium include newer rentals, including single-family homes and condos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has seen rents rise 40 percent over the last 12 months for vacant available units, Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wayne Rowland, president of the East Bay Rental Housing Association, said these are the units that are driving up market rents, not the rentals subject to the moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a little disingenuous to use the market-rate rents of 40 to 50 percent increase and turn around and put a freeze on units that are already pretty well controlled by the rent ordinance,\" Rowland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property owners subject to the moratorium can raise rent on units under rent stabilization laws by a value tied to the Consumer Price Index, which is currently under 2 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moratorium would be extended to two- and three-unit owner-occupied buildings, which would increase coverage to about 60 percent of Oakland’s housing stock, Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the moratorium does allow a landlord to petition for a fair rent increase. Landlord Alan Reinke was one of many who spoke against the moratorium. He said there’s a much bigger problem that needs to be dealt with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly, I think you should find a way to create more affordable housing, and do it quickly, but that’s going to take money.

First up was James Vann of the Oakland Tenants Union, where he represents renters who make up about 60 percent of the city. The organization was one of many pushing for a housing emergency declaration and a temporary halt to rent increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/257658184&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/257658184'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The council is notorious for not taking serious action, especially with regards to housing issues. Tonight we want that to be different,\" he said. \"We are tearing our community apart. We came up with the moratorium to say stop, pause, take a breath. Let's stop this madness for a while so the council has time to think.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many, the moratorium is more of a symbolic gesture, and 90 days isn’t that much time, considering how long it takes the city to move. For example, Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan said the city already allocated $100,000 last year to support the city’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2014/11/06/oakland-officially-okays-tenant-protection-ordinance\" target=\"_blank\">Tenant Protection Ordinance\u003c/a>.

The council pushed the city Tuesday night to find a group that could manage that pot of money, which is supposed to be used for education and outreach services for tenants to learn their rights -- a major systemic failure for Oaklanders being displaced, according to housing advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10921681\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10921681\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-1920x1075.jpg\" alt=\"People wait to speak about the rent moratorium ordinance before the Oakland City Council in City Hall on April 5, 2016.\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-400x224.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-800x448.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-1180x661.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/council1920-960x538.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People wait to speak about the rent moratorium ordinance before the Oakland City Council in City Hall on April 5, 2016. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The early-morning vote also doesn't solve another major problem -- a state law known as the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act that exempts about 40 percent of Oakland’s rental stock from the moratorium, according to Mayor Libby Schaaf, who spoke on KQED's \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> yesterday. The units exempt from the moratorium include newer rentals, including single-family homes and condos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has seen rents rise 40 percent over the last 12 months for vacant available units, Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wayne Rowland, president of the East Bay Rental Housing Association, said these are the units that are driving up market rents, not the rentals subject to the moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a little disingenuous to use the market-rate rents of 40 to 50 percent increase and turn around and put a freeze on units that are already pretty well controlled by the rent ordinance,\" Rowland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property owners subject to the moratorium can raise rent on units under rent stabilization laws by a value tied to the Consumer Price Index, which is currently under 2 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moratorium would be extended to two- and three-unit owner-occupied buildings, which would increase coverage to about 60 percent of Oakland’s housing stock, Schaaf said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the moratorium does allow a landlord to petition for a fair rent increase. Landlord Alan Reinke was one of many who spoke against the moratorium. He said there’s a much bigger problem that needs to be dealt with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly, I think you should find a way to create more affordable housing, and do it quickly, but that’s going to take money. Good luck,\" Reinke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Adam Grossberg contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That's when it stuck — this is what I need to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few location changes, and an upgrade on his heart-shaped prop, Hatfield settled into his regular spot on the pedestrian bridge near the Vermont Street exit.

A large rehabilitation project in the late '90s extended the life of these cars, but ongoing repairs and maintenance are required to keep BART running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These repairs and regular servicing are done at four train yards around the Bay Area. The busiest is the Richmond maintenance yard, just north of Richmond station. Trains from the Richmond fleet arrive in the yard, where they are cleaned and prepared for service -- which often includes refurbishing old parts and repairing antiquated systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Reinig is a transportation foreworker at the Richmond yard, where he is responsible for assembling BART trains for service every morning.

It’s downsized due to the fact that we don’t have a train to put in that spot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As cars get older they break down more frequently, and must spend more time out of service undergoing repairs. This, in turn, decreases the number of cars available, which increases the congestion on in-service cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shop, or the maintenance facility, is the part of the yard where BART cars are serviced. A corps of BART technicians perform regular preventive maintenance and repairs. If a BART car is scheduled for maintenance, technicians will inspect it for wear or damage.

If a car has been sent to the shop for a specific repair, a technician will be assigned to diagnose the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one October night, Charles Chew was working in the Richmond maintenance Facility as a transit vehicle electronics technician.

When these old parts are no longer available from suppliers, Hardt often looks to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebay.com\" target=\"_blank\">eBay\u003c/a>.

BART and Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier are producing a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars\" target=\"_blank\">new generation of cars\u003c/a>, with the first \"pilot\" models expected later this year. After an initial testing phase, full-scale production is expected in 2017, with more than 1,000 new cars being phased into the existing BART fleet over a 10-year period. (775 of those new cars have been confirmed, while funding for an additional 200 has not yet been secured.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the old BART cars cannot simply be retired. Once the line extensions to Warm Springs and Livermore are completed, the system will require a bigger fleet, so the old cars will continue to be used for the foreseeable future, creating a new challenge for BART technicians. Once the new cars enter service, technicians will need to know how to work with both the old and the new systems. Train yards, like the one in Richmond, will have to work with parts and tools for both old and new cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, the BART fleet will certainly be larger and more modern. But much of the system’s infrastructure, like the rails and traffic control systems, remains outdated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Hardt, these outdated systems impose serious limits on efficiency.

According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars/why-new-cars\" target=\"_blank\">BART's website\u003c/a>, 439 of its 669 train cars have been in use since service began. A large rehabilitation project in the late '90s extended the life of these cars, but ongoing repairs and maintenance are required to keep BART running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These repairs and regular servicing are done at four train yards around the Bay Area. The busiest is the Richmond maintenance yard, just north of Richmond station. Trains from the Richmond fleet arrive in the yard, where they are cleaned and prepared for service -- which often includes refurbishing old parts and repairing antiquated systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Reinig is a transportation foreworker at the Richmond yard, where he is responsible for assembling BART trains for service every morning.

It’s downsized due to the fact that we don’t have a train to put in that spot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As cars get older they break down more frequently, and must spend more time out of service undergoing repairs. This, in turn, decreases the number of cars available, which increases the congestion on in-service cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shop, or the maintenance facility, is the part of the yard where BART cars are serviced. A corps of BART technicians perform regular preventive maintenance and repairs. If a BART car is scheduled for maintenance, technicians will inspect it for wear or damage. Any component that seems likely to cause a problem will be fixed before it fails. If a car has been sent to the shop for a specific repair, a technician will be assigned to diagnose the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one October night, Charles Chew was working in the Richmond maintenance Facility as a transit vehicle electronics technician. He was assigned to work on the malfunctioning HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system) on car 1728.

To fix the problem, an electrical switch needed to be replaced. Though the part was small, replacing it was a complex job requiring four to six hours to complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cars are so old, it’s based on technology that was cutting-edge 20 years ago, but has kind of been phased out everywhere else,” Chew said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Imagine a computer produced in 1972,” said David Hardt, the assistant chief mechanical officer at BART. “No one is supporting that old equipment any longer, but those same microprocessors are what we have controlling our logic systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For reference, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/e4VRgY3tkh0\" target=\"_blank\">Atari released its seminal arcade game Pong\u003c/a> just two months after BART service opened -- that's the kind of technological antique Hardt and Chew are dealing with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardt oversees the maintenance of the BART fleet, and he says that one of the most challenging aspects of his job is finding the antiquated parts for the fleet — many of which are no longer manufactured. When these old parts are no longer available from suppliers, Hardt often looks to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebay.com\" target=\"_blank\">eBay\u003c/a>.

BART and Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier are producing a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/about/projects/cars\" target=\"_blank\">new generation of cars\u003c/a>, with the first \"pilot\" models expected later this year. After an initial testing phase, full-scale production is expected in 2017, with more than 1,000 new cars being phased into the existing BART fleet over a 10-year period. (775 of those new cars have been confirmed, while funding for an additional 200 has not yet been secured.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the old BART cars cannot simply be retired. Once the line extensions to Warm Springs and Livermore are completed, the system will require a bigger fleet, so the old cars will continue to be used for the foreseeable future, creating a new challenge for BART technicians. Once the new cars enter service, technicians will need to know how to work with both the old and the new systems. Train yards, like the one in Richmond, will have to work with parts and tools for both old and new cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next decade, the BART fleet will certainly be larger and more modern. But much of the system’s infrastructure, like the rails and traffic control systems, remains outdated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Commercial divers like Nekimken do not wear the iconic compressed air tanks like recreational scuba divers. Instead, they use bulky dive helmets that encompass the whole head. These dive helmets receive surface-supplied oxygen from an air compressor on a boat. This allows divers an unlimited supply of air. Nekimken said that it’s not uncommon for divers at the Port of Oakland to be underwater for as long as six hours without surfacing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After putting on the dive helmet and attaching the compressed air hoses and communications cables, he jumped into the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Nekimken sank into the bay and made his way to the back of the boat, his colleague, Sean Wheeles, was watching his back.

The power washer made quick work of the algae, but as Nekimken moved deeper into the water, the growth on the pile was more significant. Closer to the mud line at the base of the pile, Nekimken found thick clusters of barnacles and mussels. As he sprayed the thick growth near the bottom, the water clouded darkly around him, and he lost visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the pile was cleaned of growth, Nekimken was able to inspect the surface of the pile for fractures. The concrete piles can be easily fractured during an earthquake. These small fractures are not an immediate concern, as the rebar inside the pile will still hold it together. The danger lies in the slow process of saltwater seeping through cracks and reaching the steel rebar inside. The saltwater slowly corrodes the steel, which over time begins to swell, further cracking and weakening the strength of the pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If divers discover a pile with hairline fractures, they can easily seal them on the spot.

(Alan Toth/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nekimken then put on a thick neoprene dry suit before attaching his dive helmet. Commercial divers like Nekimken do not wear the iconic compressed air tanks like recreational scuba divers. Instead, they use bulky dive helmets that encompass the whole head. These dive helmets receive surface-supplied oxygen from an air compressor on a boat. This allows divers an unlimited supply of air. Nekimken said that it’s not uncommon for divers at the Port of Oakland to be underwater for as long as six hours without surfacing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After putting on the dive helmet and attaching the compressed air hoses and communications cables, he jumped into the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Nekimken sank into the bay and made his way to the back of the boat, his colleague, Sean Wheeles, was watching his back. Wheeles is also a diver for the port, but that day he was operating a robotic underwater vehicle called a VideoRay. The VideoRay is equipped with lights, a camera and sonar capability. Wheeles controlled the submersible from a laptop on the surface. He was able to provide a bit of extra light for Nekimken and monitor his progress from the boat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few minutes later, Nekimken resurfaced at the back of the boat. Dive supervisor Donald Ockrassa unceremoniously dropped an important tool into the water for Nekimken, a power washer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10826328\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10826328\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/diver_underwater-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Kekimken uses a pressure washer to clean off a cement pile on a recent dive.

(Alan Toth/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nekimken submerged and made his way to a nearby pile. Near the surface, the pile had a light coat of green algae. The power washer made quick work of the algae, but as Nekimken moved deeper into the water, the growth on the pile was more significant. Closer to the mud line at the base of the pile, Nekimken found thick clusters of barnacles and mussels. As he sprayed the thick growth near the bottom, the water clouded darkly around him, and he lost visibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the pile was cleaned of growth, Nekimken was able to inspect the surface of the pile for fractures. The concrete piles can be easily fractured during an earthquake. These small fractures are not an immediate concern, as the rebar inside the pile will still hold it together. The danger lies in the slow process of saltwater seeping through cracks and reaching the steel rebar inside. The saltwater slowly corrodes the steel, which over time begins to swell, further cracking and weakening the strength of the pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If divers discover a pile with hairline fractures, they can easily seal them on the spot. If they find a pile with significant damage, they will return later, surround the pile with scaffolding, and pour fresh concrete around the damaged pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10826329\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10826329\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/diver_piles-1440x942.jpg\" alt=\"Rows of cement piles support a deck at the Port of Oakland.
