In order to do that you need some form of subsidy.

Kim Coontz, Executive Director of CCCD. “We’ve got this model that’s very, very successful and it preserves affordability. Why aren’t we doing more of this in California?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents, however, were hesitant.

In order to do that you need some form of subsidy.

As an outspoken advocate for affordable housing, Siegel said a 0.5% increase to the rent cap could price out people already living paycheck to paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of software engineers who moved here to work for Google and other places. Well, they have cafeteria workers to feed them. If there’s no place for the cafeteria workers [to live], who’s going to feed the Google employees?\" Siegel said. “If teachers can’t afford to live here, how’re the kids of the more affluent residents — how’re they going to be taught?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803168\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11803168\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg\" alt=\"mountain view housing\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing being built in Mountain View, California on Feb. 19, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Price of Upgrading an Apartment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can be an affluent renter and still feel that high rents can make living in Mountain View tenuous. Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own.

She believes this provision in Measure D might encourage landlords to make these adjustments if they know they can pass along some of the cost to the renter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803169\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11803169\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Measure D would exclude mobile home renters from the proposed rent cap. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Mobile Home Protections, or Lack Thereof\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Then there’s one group that is caught in the middle of this battle: mobile home renters.

Abe-Koga plans to create a separate ordinance that would regulate rent hikes on mobile homes, but Alex Brown, another renter in Santiago Villa, is nervous that the eventual ordinance will offer weak protections against mobile home park owners. Brown wants mobile home parks to be included in the rent cap Measure D provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would close off an opportunity to get the protections offered to apartment residents in units built before 1995 in all of Mountain View,” Brown said. “And that’s tough because we have no other protections that are guaranteed or that look likely yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Campaign Spending: A David vs. Goliath Fight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The optics on who supports Measure D versus who doesn’t might look skewed as many local tenants rights groups have come out against the measure, compared to the California Apartment Association (CAA) and other landlord-backed organizations that support it.

Mountain View Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga supports this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s more predictability on both sides, frankly — from the landlords’ side and the tenants’ side,” Abe-Koga said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called it “reasonable rent control.\" She argues that, even if landlords increase rents by 0.5% to 4%, a Google employee making over $100,000 a year should be able to afford that compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mountain View Mayor Lenny Siegel doesn’t agree. As an outspoken advocate for affordable housing, Siegel said a 0.5% increase to the rent cap could price out people already living paycheck to paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of software engineers who moved here to work for Google and other places. Well, they have cafeteria workers to feed them. If there’s no place for the cafeteria workers [to live], who’s going to feed the Google employees?\" Siegel said. “If teachers can’t afford to live here, how’re the kids of the more affluent residents — how’re they going to be taught?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803168\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11803168\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg\" alt=\"mountain view housing\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41395_002_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3308-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Housing being built in Mountain View, California on Feb. 19, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The Price of Upgrading an Apartment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can be an affluent renter and still feel that high rents can make living in Mountain View tenuous. Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own.

Once a fire burns through the ceiling and roof, it's ventilated, and can spread even more rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Emergency Access — In and Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's not just the size of the mobile home that creates unique conditions for first responders. The layout of mobile home parks plays a role, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile home park owners try to maximize the space used for lots, which bring in revenue. That typically means homes are placed closer together than usual, another factor in the spread of fires, and roads are narrow. During Colorado winters, piles of plowed snow mean even less space for firefighters to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without designated parking, some residents or visitors park on the already-narrow roads or sidewalks, adding to the accessibility issues for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a continual issue where we're having to go into mobile home parks and speak with management about the designated parking,\" Cobb said. \"Moving emergency equipment around a mobile home park can be very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is limited fire hydrant access, that lack of emergency access can further impede firefighters' ability to quickly extinguish a blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe DiSalvo, a firefighter and shift inspector for the Evans Fire Protection District, said Evans firefighters found themselves in a similar situation a little more than 15 years ago. There was one single fire hydrant to an entire mobile home park, he said. To reach the fire, they had to lay out more than 1,000 feet of hose, slowing down their response and reducing the amount of water they had available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, they managed to keep the fire contained and there were no injuries, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The floor plan of mobile homes can make escape from a fire difficult, according to Cobb. Though mobile homes are required to have at least two exterior doors, a fire can easily block the main path for someone in a bedroom, which is typically located farther from exits than other rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Code requires that all bedrooms have escape windows, but it's rare for residents to test them out, Cobb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rusted or painted window could block a resident's last chance for escape. People have a natural instinct to exit the same way they entered, even in an emergency, Cobb said, meaning they might not think to escape out the window until it's too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Evolving Improvements\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 1976 HUD standards made such a difference on the rate of fire deaths that the National Fire Protection Association determined the death rate would drop well below the rate for other one- or two-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those in the industry say the standards set a high bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HUD Code meets or exceeds the quality and safety standards for site-built homes,\" Lesli Gooch, executive vice president of advocacy and communications for the Manufactured Housing Institute, said in a statement. \"We encourage homeowners to review and follow safety tips from their local fire marshal's office as they are generally applicable to both off-site and on-site built homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the HUD standards, which underwent two revisions in the 90s, other improvements are making newer homes and parks more fire safe than ever before. DiSalvo said newer parks tend to have streets with curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and the proximity of the trailers to each other has grown relative to older parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cobb and DiSalvo both said the departments get involved with the cities' extensive planning processes, giving them an opportunity to guide developers to more fire-safe communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it would be ideal to go in to pre-standard homes and enforce all the updated building codes and fire codes to the letter of the law, Cobb said it's necessary to balance those concerns with the need for affordable housing. To prevent fires, he said, it takes a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fire safety and community safety, it becomes the responsibility of everybody,\" he said. \"Whether it be the city, fire department, building department ... park management (or) the occupants.\"\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Fires present a particular danger for people living in mobile homes.

With the frame of the home up off the ground, and the utilities ran underneath the home, there is a greater risk of exposure not only to the cold, he explained, but also to animals that may chew on wiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for mobile homes manufactured after 1976, unique fire risks still remain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smaller average room and overall sizes can speed up fire growth, according to a study by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfpa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Fire Protection Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With less time from the moment a fire is located at a specific source to the moment a fire fully involves every combustible object in a room, that can mean less time for residents to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When in a contained room, a fire raises temperatures at the ceiling level to more than 1000 degrees, Cobb said. Once a fire burns through the ceiling and roof, it's ventilated, and can spread even more rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Emergency Access — In and Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's not just the size of the mobile home that creates unique conditions for first responders. The layout of mobile home parks plays a role, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile home park owners try to maximize the space used for lots, which bring in revenue. That typically means homes are placed closer together than usual, another factor in the spread of fires, and roads are narrow. During Colorado winters, piles of plowed snow mean even less space for firefighters to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without designated parking, some residents or visitors park on the already-narrow roads or sidewalks, adding to the accessibility issues for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a continual issue where we're having to go into mobile home parks and speak with management about the designated parking,\" Cobb said. \"Moving emergency equipment around a mobile home park can be very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is limited fire hydrant access, that lack of emergency access can further impede firefighters' ability to quickly extinguish a blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe DiSalvo, a firefighter and shift inspector for the Evans Fire Protection District, said Evans firefighters found themselves in a similar situation a little more than 15 years ago. There was one single fire hydrant to an entire mobile home park, he said. To reach the fire, they had to lay out more than 1,000 feet of hose, slowing down their response and reducing the amount of water they had available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, they managed to keep the fire contained and there were no injuries, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The floor plan of mobile homes can make escape from a fire difficult, according to Cobb. Though mobile homes are required to have at least two exterior doors, a fire can easily block the main path for someone in a bedroom, which is typically located farther from exits than other rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Code requires that all bedrooms have escape windows, but it's rare for residents to test them out, Cobb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rusted or painted window could block a resident's last chance for escape. People have a natural instinct to exit the same way they entered, even in an emergency, Cobb said, meaning they might not think to escape out the window until it's too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Evolving Improvements\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 1976 HUD standards made such a difference on the rate of fire deaths that the National Fire Protection Association determined the death rate would drop well below the rate for other one- or two-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those in the industry say the standards set a high bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HUD Code meets or exceeds the quality and safety standards for site-built homes,\" Lesli Gooch, executive vice president of advocacy and communications for the Manufactured Housing Institute, said in a statement. \"We encourage homeowners to review and follow safety tips from their local fire marshal's office as they are generally applicable to both off-site and on-site built homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the HUD standards, which underwent two revisions in the 90s, other improvements are making newer homes and parks more fire safe than ever before. DiSalvo said newer parks tend to have streets with curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and the proximity of the trailers to each other has grown relative to older parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cobb and DiSalvo both said the departments get involved with the cities' extensive planning processes, giving them an opportunity to guide developers to more fire-safe communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it would be ideal to go in to pre-standard homes and enforce all the updated building codes and fire codes to the letter of the law, Cobb said it's necessary to balance those concerns with the need for affordable housing.
