The campaign around this ballot initiative, later deemed unconstitutional, portrayed undocumented immigrants as criminal invaders and sought to ban them from using nonemergency public services, including even primary and secondary education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anti-immigrant sentiment occurred against a backdrop of wrenching economic change. Nearly half of the country’s net job losses in the early 1990s \u003ca href=\"https://stateofresistancebook.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">occurred in California\u003c/a>, with a decline in manufacturing as steep as what would later occur between 2007 and 2010 in auto-heavy (and Trump-sympathetic) Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another eerie parallel to today, profiting from political polarization was the order of the day: Rush Limbaugh arrived on the national stage in the late 1980s after perfecting his style hosting a talk radio show in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This toxic trio of immigration concerns, economic shocks and political blood-letting may be more than enough to demonstrate the parallels between California in the 1990s and the U.S. today. But there’s another important indicator: the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-1229-frey-racial-generation-gap-20151229-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“racial generation gap.”\u003c/a> This is a straightforward measure of the relationship between the share of seniors who are white and the share of youth who are of color. But its interplay with public will and public policy is complex and consequential.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Understanding the gap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The racial generation gap is technically measured as the difference between the percent of those 65 or older who are white, minus the percent of those aged 17 and younger who are white. The bigger the gap, the more demographically distinct the generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such gaps can emerge for several reasons, including new immigrants having children and an \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/07/biggest-share-of-whites-in-u-s-are-boomers-but-for-minority-groups-its-millennials-or-younger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overwhelming white boomer generation\u003c/a> living longer lives. But the problem is that when seniors have trouble seeing themselves in children and young adults, \u003ca href=\"https://www.russellsage.org/publications/immigrants-and-boomers-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social cohesion is at risk, as are investments in the future\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Arizona, for example. It’s the state with the largest racial generation gap in the U.S., where snowbirds arrive from elsewhere to retire even as young people of color are remaking the state. It’s also known for its fractious politics (and pot-stirring politicians) around immigration and state legislation banning the teaching of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-mexican-american-studies-20171227-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ethnic studies in schools\u003c/a>. And in a clear sign of retreating from the future, Arizona also made the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/a-punishing-decade-for-school-funding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">largest cuts in K-12 state spending per student between 2008 and 2015.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.policylink.org/resources-tools/bridging-racial-generation-gap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In research published in September\u003c/a>, several colleagues and I looked at factors that predict state expenditures on students, such as median household income, home ownership levels, and the underlying age and race makeup of the population. Even when you take all those other factors into account, the larger the racial generation gap, the less the state spends per student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the racial generation gap was just about the same in California in 1970 as it was in the U.S. in 1990.

There's a lot of noise. There's domestic violence. There's screaming. There's being woken up late at night and early in the morning. There's people urinating and defecating on our property. There's extra trash. I've had to kick drunk people off of my step. I've had to clean vomit off of my step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those irritations are starting to add up and Clark wants assurances from the city that it will deal with these issues before she can trust it to manage an even larger facility for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm concerned that the city is being irresponsible by not communicating with the neighbors and deciding to expand it into a full shelter without really understanding that there are some problems that need to be solved first,” Clark said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city plans to set up a citizen’s advisory committee to facilitate communication about issues like the ones Clark raises. Rhorer is hopeful that if the homeless have a shelter to go to during the day, with bathrooms and storage, some of these problems will subside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larry Williams agrees that a shelter could help some people turn their lives around. “If you had a bed, a place to lay down at night, where you could think at night, a place to map your day out for tomorrow so you can get started.

That’s the second-largest number concentration of homeless in the city, after the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the homeless aren’t respectful of neighbor’s property when they pass by on their way to Mother Brown’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ninety-five percent of the people who come to eat there are fantastic; they're quiet, they're respectful, they're just neighbors, they're just folks,” said Amy Clark, whose house sits kitty-corner to Mother Brown’s. “And then there's some people who aren't as good neighbors. There's a lot of noise. There's domestic violence. There's screaming. There's being woken up late at night and early in the morning. There's people urinating and defecating on our property. There's extra trash. I've had to kick drunk people off of my step. I've had to clean vomit off of my step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those irritations are starting to add up and Clark wants assurances from the city that it will deal with these issues before she can trust it to manage an even larger facility for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm concerned that the city is being irresponsible by not communicating with the neighbors and deciding to expand it into a full shelter without really understanding that there are some problems that need to be solved first,” Clark said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city plans to set up a citizen’s advisory committee to facilitate communication about issues like the ones Clark raises. Rhorer is hopeful that if the homeless have a shelter to go to during the day, with bathrooms and storage, some of these problems will subside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larry Williams agrees that a shelter could help some people turn their lives around. “If you had a bed, a place to lay down at night, where you could think at night, a place to map your day out for tomorrow so you can get started. That's what we need around here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the radio version of this story:\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/145349985&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/133034/proposed-bayview-homeless-shelter-stirs-up-deep-fears-of-displacement","authors":["234"],"programs":["news_6944"],"series":["news_18549"],"categories":["news_6266"],"tags":["news_1700","news_5259","news_854","news_2162","news_38"],"featImg":"news_133131","label":"news_6944"},"news_131215":{"type":"posts","id":"news_131215","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"131215","score":null,"sort":[1396452643000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"what-san-franciscos-chinese-americans-are-saying-about-leland-yee","title":"What San Francisco's Chinese-Americans Are Saying About Leland Yee","publishDate":1396452643,"format":"aside","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131222\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/IMG_20140329_151029699.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-131222\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/IMG_20140329_151029699-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20140329_151029699\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco's Chinatown was quiet on Saturday just days after the FBI raided a neighborhood association there.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Word started to spread about the bill, SCA5, in late January, after state senators voted to ask Californians whether they wanted to reinstate race-conscious admissions at public universities. Some Chinese-American parents thought admission should be strictly merit-based, and they worried their children would lose college spots to students of other races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They started to mobilize. In one incident, protesters surrounded state Assembly Member Ed Chau outside his office in the Southern California city of Monterey Park. As cameras for a Chinese-language station rolled, protesters wanted to know if the Democrat would oppose SCA5 or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will not support it. I will not vote yes,” Chau told them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what opponents wanted to hear. They had barraged legislators with emails and phone calls, sent around a petition that got more than 114,000 signatures, and held town hall meetings in places with large Chinese populations like Silicon Valley and San Gabriel Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some observers say this kind of activism signals a political maturing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Lai, who teaches ethnic politics at Santa Clara University, says most Chinese Americans in the U.S. emigrated in recent decades. “When they first arrived, they probably wouldn’t have done that,” he says. “But over time, they acculturate and understand they also have a place here in American politics. This is their new home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One tactic opponents mastered was building coalitions. Olivia Liao is president of a Chinese university alumni association that joined forces with seven Chinese-American community groups in Southern California to get the word out on SCA5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have decided that we need to raise the awareness of everyone in the Asian community,” she said. “And let people come out and tell the Legislature our voices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition lobbied Chinese-American politicians, including the three Democratic state senators who had all voted with their party to approve the bill that would put the measure on the state ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Asian American politicians have been spoiled by new immigrants’ immaturity with politics,” says S.B. Woo, president of a national political action committee called 80-20, a reference to the proportion of Asian-American votes the group says can swing presidential elections. The committee joined the coalition fighting attempts to revive race-based admissions at California universities. Woo says in Chinese culture, political leaders command deference from the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elected officials must be the great scholars, and therefore you (have) to respect them like their parents,” Wu says. “But that’s feudal way of thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “feudal way of thinking” is fading. Under pressure from angry constituents, the three Chinese-American senators backed off from their votes and asked the Assembly speaker to stop the measure from going further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that was cause for celebration for these newly energized activists, other Chinese-Americans shook their heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to not only look at your own self-interest, but also to look at what’s good for a broader society, what’s good for all of us, as Californians,” said Karen Wang, of Asian Americans Advancing Justice in L.A. She says people she knows who are of Chinese descent and who have grown up here see the value in affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of us are able to achieve what we’re able to achieve because we benefited from civil rights advancements that happened before us,” she says.

Some Chinese-American parents thought admission should be strictly merit-based, and they worried their children would lose college spots to students of other races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They started to mobilize. In one incident, protesters surrounded state Assembly Member Ed Chau outside his office in the Southern California city of Monterey Park. As cameras for a Chinese-language station rolled, protesters wanted to know if the Democrat would oppose SCA5 or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will not support it.

They had barraged legislators with emails and phone calls, sent around a petition that got more than 114,000 signatures, and held town hall meetings in places with large Chinese populations like Silicon Valley and San Gabriel Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some observers say this kind of activism signals a political maturing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Lai, who teaches ethnic politics at Santa Clara University, says most Chinese Americans in the U.S. emigrated in recent decades. “When they first arrived, they probably wouldn’t have done that,” he says. “But over time, they acculturate and understand they also have a place here in American politics. This is their new home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One tactic opponents mastered was building coalitions. Olivia Liao is president of a Chinese university alumni association that joined forces with seven Chinese-American community groups in Southern California to get the word out on SCA5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have decided that we need to raise the awareness of everyone in the Asian community,” she said. “And let people come out and tell the Legislature our voices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition lobbied Chinese-American politicians, including the three Democratic state senators who had all voted with their party to approve the bill that would put the measure on the state ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Asian American politicians have been spoiled by new immigrants’ immaturity with politics,” says S.B. Woo, president of a national political action committee called 80-20, a reference to the proportion of Asian-American votes the group says can swing presidential elections. The committee joined the coalition fighting attempts to revive race-based admissions at California universities. Woo says in Chinese culture, political leaders command deference from the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Elected officials must be the great scholars, and therefore you (have) to respect them like their parents,” Wu says. “But that’s feudal way of thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That “feudal way of thinking” is fading. Under pressure from angry constituents, the three Chinese-American senators backed off from their votes and asked the Assembly speaker to stop the measure from going further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that was cause for celebration for these newly energized activists, other Chinese-Americans shook their heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to not only look at your own self-interest, but also to look at what’s good for a broader society, what’s good for all of us, as Californians,” said Karen Wang, of Asian Americans Advancing Justice in L.A. She says people she knows who are of Chinese descent and who have grown up here see the value in affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of us are able to achieve what we’re able to achieve because we benefited from civil rights advancements that happened before us,” she says. She hopes there can be a debate on improving access to California’s chronically underfunded universities for students of all races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others have a different focus: Proving to politicians that Chinese Americans are not to be underestimated.

But residents say the lights worked for only two or three days, and after that, they tolerated the pitch black. The housing authority finally fixed the lights in the courtyard in December. Residents say they have\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>complained since 2011. CIR has records going back one year, which verify the complaints stretch back at least that far.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the sixth floor, exposed wires dangle from an abandoned electrical closet, a few feet from an inhabited unit. The wires are within reach of children who visit their grandparents in the complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents call Hacienda the “Haci-hellhole”\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>or “Bedbug City.” Nearly everyone has a story of bedbugs, and residents collect them in mason jars to show to housing authority maintenance workers, in an attempt to prove they aren’t making up the source of their pockmarked arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost one-fifth of the apartments in Hacienda were infested with bedbugs, according to the most recent federal inspection in 2012. Exterminators have been called at least nine times in the last year, but residents say the place still is overrun with the blood-sucking pests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents used to have more hope. In 2009, the bedbug situation became so dire at Hacienda that residents signed a petition, stormed the City Council chamber and “raised so much hell” that the housing authority was forced to fumigate the entire building, said Eaton, the Hacienda resident who struggled with mice and cockroaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one wants to do that now. Walk around Hacienda and Nevin Plaza, and almost every resident will tell you a personal anecdote about the housing authority’s failed promises to provide the basics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eaton has lost any hope that the agency will help. After months of complaints, contractors gave\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>her a few sticky pads for the mice in her apartment. She bought her own mouse poison, and the infestation has improved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who even wants to try anymore?” she said. “I wanna go someplace else, but I don’t have anywhere else to go. They treat us like animals here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a feeling shared by many residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m afraid that the building’s going to come down on me,” Marshall said. “I want out of here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Structural dangers noted\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal inspectors worried about the building’s foundation, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cracks snake their way along the seams of Hacienda. In early January, reporters\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>saw the walkway on Hacienda’s sixth floor separating from the main building by almost 2 inches. The cracks are so large that you can see down to the fifth floor. These were some of the same problems inspectors warned of years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_126462\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-126462 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/richmondproject_1083_la-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Many residents of the Hacienda housing complex call it “Haci-hellhole”or “Bedbug City.” One-fifth of the building’s apartments were infested with bedbugs, according to a 2012 federal inspection.

Security is almost nonexistent, so squatters have a practically guaranteed place to crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A squatter named Steve Muccular recently took reporters through the building, showing them how to break into Hacienda through a busted security gate in the front of the building. Security guards don’t\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>bother to venture up to the sixth floor, he said, so he camped in the laundry room for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one was supposed to be up here,” Muccular said. “But they don’t check. This is a fucked-up building for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An abandoned unit on the sixth floor had clear signs of squatting in January – a broken security door and an apartment full of old birthday cake, beer bottles and tattered clothes. Months earlier, workers said they had secured that very unit to prevent squatting, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unable to get basic help from the housing authority, residents often turn to prayer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Tuesday, about 15 Nevin Plaza residents gathered in the first-floor common room for their afternoon prayer group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of things going on in here that people’s unhappy with but they don’t want to say because they don’t want to get kicked out,” said Eddie Williams, the resident pastor who lives on the second floor. “But since we started praying, people’s not as scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents go around in a circle giving testimonials and recounting their challenges during the week. One woman thanks God for helping her overcome a painkiller addiction. Another is grateful for a successful hip surgery. Then it’s 81-year-old Helen “Mama” Hall’s turn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thank God for giving me discernments and opening my eyes to see more stuff going on in here,” Hall said. She is a self-appointed volunteer security guard who has taken it upon herself to police Nevin Plaza against criminals sneaking into the building. “I thank God for giving me strength to look out for this place every day, because no one else is going to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a chorus of amens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all gotta look up to God for help,” Williams said. “Because when you look down, it ain’t good where we are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The piece was edited by Andrew Donohue and Mark Katches and copy edited by Nikki Frick and Christine Lee.
