>> according to the dea, there are more than 500 cases in bench warrant status. this means that people who have been arrested, then released have not come back to court. >> people have to feel that there is a risk to their criminal behavior and to the extent that they learn that they can be arrested over and over again and simply be released within 24 hours to go do it again, that's not teaching them anything. they believe they can get away with it and so they continue the behavior when it comes to all crimes. >> recent data show that car break-ins and burglaries are down. but how much of that is because people are so frustrated and they have stopped reporting them to police property crime is typically doesn't have consequences as other types of crimes. >> chief william scott has spoken on several occasions to abc7 political insider phil matier on policing a city despite a drastic shortage of officers. >> so we have 1200 for the whole nine yards. it comes to about

how many a day a shift that we really are looking at approximately about 300 officers. what effect is that having on, on on policing? >> well, it's definitely it definitely is a strain to keep up with the calls for service. it's a strain to keep up with the demand of what our residents and community members want in the city. >> when it comes to the unhoused , the budget for the city department of homeless and supportive housing in fiscal year 2023 was a whopping $672 million. yet on any given night, there are about 3400 people living in shelters and about 4400 on the streets. and so why is it so hard for san francisco to solve its homeless problem? so you would prefer to live out on the streets than get shelter? >> that's correct, ma'am. is it that bad? yes, it is. yes, it is. it's awful. they treat you like garbage or is it like former mayor willie brown said, the homeless issue is not

designed to be solved. >> it is designed to be perpetuated. >> and we cannot continue to make homelessness the number one political issue in our city. and so that one politician is trying to solve it while another politician who wants to take their place is actually trying to undercut them because the worse it gets, the better off their chances are. and so we need to have accountability from everyone. >> business closures downtown are also of great concern to the city. we're going to have millions, millions of extra square feet that are won't get filled for decades. >> and mean maybe not ever during the.com bust. >> 18,000,000ft■!s of business space downtown emptied out and it took that sector of our economy ten years to recover for the situation today after covid is much worse. and all this week abc7 news will take a closer look at the issues impacting san francisco tomorrow. so the drug

are going to have a place to live. we are short millions of homes. >> california yimby works with state legislature and regulators to try and help end the housing shortage and affordability crisis. >> a recent audit by the state found that no city takes longer to approve housing. so those long delays and long timeline adds up to three years. in some cases. >> the california department of housing and community development, or hcd, gave san francisco and its board of supervisors one month until november 27th to pass. mayor london breed's constraints reduction ordinance is the legislation would have removed red tape and made it easier for housing projects to move forward without a planning commission hearing. missing the deadline means the city could lose state funding for things like housing projects and transportation projects. >> it will. it could lose its land use authority, super advisor aaron peskin is pushing a resolution that would extend the deadline. >> meanwhile, reina tello is with communities united for health and justice. she doesn't agree with the state mandate requiring 82,000 housing units

in eight years. >> it's just this build, build, build will solve everything. and really, it's a false solution. so we don't have a housing shortage. we have an affordability crisis right now happening in housing and that can't be solved by building more units that are unaffordable. >> while the state housing regulation deadline is november 27th, the law allows the city of san francisco, another 30 days to comply with the mandate. that means the board of supervisors members have until late december to get into compliance. >> right now or the board of supervisors if it acts expeditiously, can avoid having a certified housing plan. but it needs to act quickly and stop playing games in san francisco. >> suzanne phan abc7 news. >> the san francisco recreation and park commission has new options for renaming stow lake. it currently is named after former state assembly member william stow, who spoke in favor

call or go online today. wherever you are. the california academy of sciences, steinhart aquarium turned 100 this year, and as the exhibit celebrates a century in san francisco, researchers are looking ahead to a new era of discovery and drawing on lessons from the past. >> for the next 100 years.

>> you know, at the time, it was the wild, wild west. i think like no one knew when librarian rebecca kim looks back over a century of history at the steinhart aquarium. >> she sees the kind of evolution even charles darwin couldn't have dreamed of, starting with its birth in the roaring 20s as an aquatic attraction for crowds visiting the california academy of sciences. within a decade, the steinhardt's collection would expand and grow. far more exotic . >> in 1934, the academy goes on an expedition to the galapagos, and they do transport back fishes. we have these pictures that are amazing and they keep them alive and they bring them back on this yacht and depends on the director like the kinds of animals that are featured sort of shift. this would have been the only way for people to see these things. so it was like everything was exotic, unique. >> many count earl harold among the most colorful directors he helped introduce popular animals, including butterball. an injured manatee rescued from

a fish market. >> he was really into bringing in all animals and especially marine mammals. so he had a soft spot for manatees, dolphins. he really wanted draw people in by like seeing these animals. they would not have seen anywhere else. >> and over the decades, future directors like john mccosker would pique the public's interest in other creatures like great white sharks and the expanding world of ocean science. and from african penguins to tropical sea life, the aquarium's collection continued to amaze visitors with new discoveries. a century's worth of aquatic discovery, to be exact. but now, as we look forward to the next 100 years, stein's daetz scientific mission could become even more critical as the world continues to confront the challenges brought on by climate change. >> over the past, say, 50 years, zoos and aquariums have really pivoted from, you know, exotic creatures to being conservation organizations. and for us, really the most critical

conservation issue. what's paramount is climate change. >> bert sheppard is the senior director at steinhart. when he's not overseeing the aquarium, he's often conducting field research. we met him shortly after his return from an expedition documenting plastic pollution along coral reefs in the indian ocean. >> we've actually done global surveys of plastics looking at the difference between shallow reefs and what we call the twilight zone reefs, which are coral reefs that are found about 200 to 500ft deep. >> and he points to other cutting edge restoration projects as a critical part of steinhardt's ongoing mission. the coral regeneration lab is one of the few in the country able to spawn living coral to potentially repair damaged reefs, while a separate seastar breeding program could someday help restore threatened species off the bay area coastline. still other research teams are working on restoring damaged kelp forests and more. >> i think that's one of the strengths of the academy is we've got this world class

aquarium with really talented, passionate people that are scientists that study genetics, that study taxonomy and systematics, the study of the ecology and the role of their target organism. there's so much to learn still for librarian rebecca kim, it's a history that is still being written as she works to document one century of discovery that's now leading to another. >> also to remember the people that were here that helped build this place. i think that's like the fun part of my job. >> a rich history and a bright future. now, a few folks at steinhart have actually experienced the century's worth of history. the one exception is methuselah, believed to be the oldest living aquarium fish in the world. the australian lungfish is 93 years old. if you can believe that. wow, that's incredible, right? >> all right. one last check on our weather. yeah because we have a lot going on, a lot going on and just absolutely gorgeous this weekend. >> but noticeably cooler. meteorologist sandhya patel is back with the full forecast. >> yeah, dan, and we had the chilly conditions over the weekend in the night and morning
