On 8-12-16 the San Jose Mercury reported “In a decision cheered by affordable-housing advocates, a petition by the Colonial Mobile Manor park owner to raise the rent above what is allowed in the city’s Mobilehome Rent Ordinance has been denied.” San Jose mobile park residents celebrating victory after hearing officer rules against space rent increase – The Mercury News The article went on to say, “The decision in the case, which had drawn attention from the City Council, comes at a time when the skyrocketing cost in the rental market is one of Silicon Valley’s hot-button issues.” That was 2016. The Park owner appealed that decision in Superior Court and FOUR YEARS LATER he got his blood money: an additional $45.06 per month plus the 3% allowed by the City. He had already gotten an additional $46.30 plus the 3% in an earlier Petition for Fair Return (PFR). Peter Wang, the owner of Colonial Manor, was the first Park owner in the history of San Jose to file back to back PFRs, first in 2012 and then again in 2013. The low to moderate income Seniors in this Park therefore got a total increase of $91.36 per month, plus the 3%.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018
    EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.

  • Two Years Ago, Forward Observer and Klink Campaigns Launched the First Edition of the California Initiative Editorial Scorecard
    September, 2018 Edition Two years ago, Forward Observer and Klink Campaigns launched the first edition of the California Initiative Editorial Scorecard. We tracked editorial endorsements (pro and con) from the top 20 California newspapers by circulation, and gave each of the 17 initiatives a score for the number of “yes” or “no” endorsements received, as well as a weighted score based on the size of the paper’s circulation. By Election Day, the scorecard included 323 editorials. Here is a quick re-cap of last year’s final results: • Editorial endorsement was a leading indicator of success at the ballot. Out of the 10 ballot measures with a majority of editorials in favor, only one failed to pass (Prop 62, repeal death penalty) and out of the 7 measures with a majority of editorials against, only 3 passed. • The San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner most closely matched the will of the voters. They tied with 82% of their endorsements matching the election outcome. For 2018, we will track editorials on the 11 ballot measures that California voters will decide on Tuesday, November 6. (In July, the California State Supreme Court removed Proposition 9 from the ballot, stating “Significant question have been raised regarding the proposition’s validity.”) 1 This year’s editorial scorecard is based on circulation data from the Alliance for Audited Media: 2018 California Initiative Editorial Endorsement Scorecard Rank Paper Circulation 1 Los Angeles Times 689,113 2 San Francisco Chronicle 218,941 3 San Diego Union-Tribune 194,550
