>> building a better bay area moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc seven news. since the pandemic things have changed and do i want everyone at work all the time? >> yes, i do. >> san francisco's mayor wants everyone back in the office and she's not the only one. good evening. i'm ama daetz. and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. part of building a better bay area includes supporting small businesses. and for those in san francisco, it seems like it's really been one thing after another since the pandemic. >> and tonight we focus on what the small business owners say is the only solution to the recovery of the downtown area. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here with more on what they're saying. leanne. >> well, you know, there convinced that if people come back to the office five days a week, there would be a different downtown and it would help them tremendously because, you know, small businesses say for them this hybrid situation where people work from home on some days and come to work in person on other days, isn't cutting it. they claim that city hall hasn't

done enough to push the private sector to come back and as we found out, the largest employer in this city still has a hybrid policy. this could well be the epicenter of san francisco's doom loop. folsom and second street, south of market. don't take it from me. ask jeff handy, owner of social 303 restaurant in the shadow of this once booming neighborhood, this building that i'm standing in front of used to have 4000 people in it. >> there's 400. so you're looking at businesses in san francisco who are suffering more than any other city in the country. >> he bringing those people back into the office, more than 2 to 3 days a week has been a challenge for the city, regardless of what the mayor has said in the past, who doesn't want to go meet with their coworkers after work and have a drink and let the traffic die down? apparently thousands of people who live or work in san francisco return to work policies were not as heavily endorsed in san francisco, so

that hurt all of us. >> and it continues to the oasis grill next to the embarcadero center is a classic example since covid, they have not recovered and find that the private sector has little interest in supporting small businesses. >> he too, thinks the downtown recovery is achievable if people come back into the offices to bring at least 90% of the employees back because how do you do that? >> i don't know. this is maybe the mayor should do that. the government we asked a government official how the city plans to bring back the workforce more often than just a few days. >> we are exponentially impacted by the amount of tech and public service businesses that have chosen to remain remote. and so at the end of the day, the city hold on a minute. >> the city also has employees still working from home. >> they do have the ability to stay home two days a week. and again, that is the decision of

the mayor. ultimately, the mayor did that change? i think we are in a place right now where we need to we can we can go to flex schedules. we can allow people to do not necessarily 9 to 5 in some areas, but absolutely, we need to be coming back five days a week next up, the mayor will you ask city employees to come back to work five days a week? >> so to be clear, most of our 34,000 city employees are back at work, most of them. but i think the you know, you see city hall is pretty much at capacity and other city buildings, many of the folks who are maybe not at work are a lot of our technical support. but it's more than i think the latest number. and maybe i should get the latest number to give it to you, but it's a really high percentage. city hall eventually got back to us to report that approximately three quarters of city staff is working in person full time. >> since the pandemic, things have changed and do i want

everyone at work all the time? >> yes, i do. >> to make matters worse, for these small businesses, apec didn't deliver the kind of boom they anticipated for a number of reasons. first, there was the security zone imposed by the secret service. >> as apex started to step in, we anticipated a three day heavy closure with a little setup. it was much larger than expected as we can all know. it really became a ten day shutdown for the entire neighborhood. >> secondly, people were told to work from home to avoid the traffic jams and the protesters from fisherman's wharf to downtown to union square to japantown. >> there's no question it was quieter throughout the city. people did heed the warning. >> according to the yerba buena community benefit center, the average revenueor small businesses near moscone center was down by more than 64. now many of these affected businesses are hoping the city keeps its promise of compensating them for their losses. now a reminder that a

resolution was passed to set aside $10 million in the event that there would be heavy losses . and we know now that that, in fact, happened. and, you know, what the city is telling me is that they are not forcing people to come back necessarily because they are afraid to lose them to the private sector and private sector is afraid of the same thing. >> right. they don't want to lose their employees. >> correct. >> all right. thank you, liane. all right. >> on to storm watch now. we'll start with the winter weather advisory and the snow in the sierra. it's a dark picture, but you can see the flurries. here's a live look at zephyr cove in south lake tahoe. today's storm brought rain to the bay area. check out the downpour we captured at tilden park in berkeley. really coming down for a while. and tomorrow we expect the weather to be dry. >> yes, the sheep out there will be happy i think. abc7 news, meteorology. sandhya patel is the forecast. sandhya yeah, absolutely. >> and dan and amaya, you're going to feel the chill in the air tomorrow morning, but right now i want to show you a live

view from mount rose. can't get enough of this. it's looking more like winter and december from mount rose where the snow is coming down heavily right now. light snow being reported in truckee as we look at live doppler seven, the sierra has been seeing snow showers today. they're still under a winter weather advisory here in the bay area. we saw some showers come through here. now, very isolated in nature as we get you in a little bit closer, just east of san jose, in the hills around mount hamilton area, we are seeing a few drops. so let's go hour by hour behind this system, the skies are going to clear and as the skies clear, that cooler air mass comes in. we have a freeze warning going up at midnight, right. it runs until 9 a.m. for the north bay valleys. temperatures as low as 28 degrees. and that means frost and freeze will damage tender plants. so bring them inside or cover them. protect those pipes and pets as well. a freeze watch has been issued for saturday morning. same area as those temperatures will plunge. and i'll be back with a full look at

eight night festival starts with lighting the first candle on a menorah. rabbi moshe langer is with chabad san francisco. >> lord knows there is sadness with all the massacre that happened on on october 7th. this year. it's something like that hasn't been seen since the holocaust against the jewish people this year. >> many will be thinking about the more than 1200 people in israel who were killed by hamas militants and the hundreds more taken captive. >> there's a lot of sadness and we're trying to heal in our community here at zahav. >> we are mourning so many losses and we're also in pain over what's going on here in our own communities in thinking a lot about the ways that anti-semitism, anti arab violence and racism all tied together. >> rabbi michael copeland says her congregation in the castro district will celebrate hanukkah a little differently this year. >> this year is a we're celebrating. it might be a little bit more subdued than in past years, and we like to go over the top, enjoy and dancing. and this year that doesn't feel

quite right. we still need to bring in the joy, but but we're also really deep in sadness as well. >> state senator scott wiener recognizes the challenging times we face globally and in san francisco, given rising cases of anti-semitism and violence. >> as we've seen jewish businesses in san francisco and l.a. in in new york be targeted, which is straight up anti-semitism. it's really a scary time for the jewish community. we i know it's a scary time for our muslim and arab arab communities. >> local leaders say it's important to take this time and to remember the essence of the holiday. so it is a somber time. >> but hanukkah is a ultimately a story of resilience and being willing to fight to bring joy, to bring light. >> that's the whole idea of the holiday of hanukkah. every night we add another candle to increase in the light. >> and again, here's a closer look at the menorah. this is the

48th year, this public menorah lighting has been held here in san francisco. and of course, we know that people will be returning tomorrow to light the next candle. we're live at union square, suzanne phan, abc seven news. >> suzanne, thank you so much. coming up next, testing the faith of the 40 niner faithful for some season ticket holders. >> the price is going to double next season on draftkings kept sending emails to the wrong player. >> he asked them to stop but need seven on your side to ...and multiple concussions, migraine attacks followed me home. it got so bad, that i curled up in a dark closet. that was the day i asked for nurtec. nurtec is the only medication that can treat and prevent my migraine attacks, all in one.

season tickets since kezar stadium. and as prices went from 9000 for four seats to 20,000 in 2024. but they're not moving our seats. >> you know, the people that sit in the sub seats that they pay $20,000 to sit there and they're on the 30, 40, 50 yard line. and we're in the end zone. so it's like all right, what am i getting a levi's stadium spokesperson told us the ticket holders are getting additional benefits, including access to an indoor club space and these benefits are reflected in the price increase. >> the spokesperson also told us that the organization is in communication with the season ticket holders, although the fans we spoke with say they have gotten little response as of now , if the fans refuse to pay the increased prices, they'll lose their tickets. but just like they are faithful to the team, they remain faithful. a resolution is possible. >> i have faith that the 40 niners are going to try to make this right. >> and maybe i'm foolish. you know? i know it's a corporation, but you just can't believe you season ticket holders for 40 years. and this is how it ends at levi's stadium.

>> dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> now to our ongoing work to build a better bay area. we've been covering the ban on street vending along san francisco's mission street. it's part of the city's effort to tackle the stolen goods market, but permitted vendors are also being affected. so today city officials unveiled a plan to offer financial help to those who need it. abc seven news reporter luz pena has the details. tensions continue to flare in san francisco's mission district as primitive street vendors hold a private meeting with supervisor hillary ronen urging her to end the 90 day street ban. >> everyone after that, including myself, angry, disappointed because she she don't listen to us. she don't pay attention to us. she just came here and say, this is what i want. >> after two weeks of the ban, the city announced a financial support package for vendors. but many say they just want to go back to the streets. >> $1,000. that's nothing for us. $1,000. that's money. that doesn't mean anything for us, because with $1,000, we can go

center in mountain view, 50 miles away from the plane. we operated out of hollister municipal airport and basically the taxi, the takeoff, the cruise, the landing, all of that was over a scale of about 12 minutes for the uncrewed portion . reliable robotics is the company behind the autonomous flight system, though they've flown a smaller plane without a pilot on board in 2019, they say this flight was the first time a cargo plane of this size was operate remotely by a private company. the system like ours will go a long way to save lives and prevent accidents. ceo robert rose says their technology will improve aviation safety in order to move the pilot out of the plane and into a control center, you need to have a more advanced navigation system. >> you need to be able to automatically land, you need to be able to automatically take off and auto taxi and many accidents on small aircraft today are due to issues during those phases of flight. >> and though rose says he sees the system rolled out more broadly for cargo first, the hope is that it could one day transition to passenger aircraft, something he said

could facilitate better travel between smaller airports. >> and instead of needing to fly out of san francisco, oakland, san jose, we could take a flight out of palo alto or reid-hillview or san carlos with pilots like tom delay's expertise still needed to operate the system, rose said he sees it adding jobs. >> i think we're going to have factor ten, factor 100 more aircraft as we move into the next decade. >> so i see this as a growth opportunity for aviation. >> the technology still has to be certified by the faa, something rose says they're well on their way to doing in mountain view. zach fuentes, abc seven news, just fascinating. >> the east bay man accused of trying to shut off the engines of a plane traveling from washington state to san francisco is now out of custody. joseph emerson left the county jail in portland today after posting $50,000 bond. his release comes after a grand jury indicted the former pilot on 83 counts of recklessly endangering another person. but did not file attempted murder charges. the 44 year old claims he suffered a panic attack and was in a dream like state during the october

contained a white powder. preliminary tests indicate it's talcum powder. the other envelopes will have to be tested as well, of course, but police are now working to intercept those letters. >> it's one of san francisco's most challenging and complex issues solving the homelessness problem that has stuck with the city for years. but during our abc7 take action, san francisco live event, city leaders promised us they see things changing by taking a more forceful approach. tonight, abc seven news reporter luz pena is looking at what the city is doing to solve the problem and what's standing in the way. >> there are nearly 8000 homeless individuals in san francisco, according to the latest count, and the city spends 5% of its $14 billion budget tackling homelessness when questioning the top three city leaders on this crisis, the audience pointed out many of those living on the streets seemingly disappeared during apec and dreamforce and the audience wanted to know why and how it was done so quickly.

>> we we've made significant progress. and the fact is, it wasn't because of apec. we made progress because we got clarity on a court decision in mayor breed blamed part of the homeless crisis on the ninth circuit court decision that prevented the city from moving people who declined shelter. >> we were not able to move people the way that we're able to move people now. the court decision came after a lawsuit was brought forth by the coalition on homelessness. the executive director for the coalition was sitting in the front row when the mayor pointed out the legal challenge. >> swease have groups that are suing the city for the things that we are and aren't doing. did you notice that she looked at you when she talked about suing the city? >> i did notice that, yeah. and you know, the lawsuit suit is a way for us to push the city to have more shelter. guess what? they added more shelter beds since we filed this lawsuit. >> according to the mayor, the city offered 300 people housing and shelter in the month of november. only 100 accepted the

executive director for code tenderloin pushed back on why many tell her they decline shelter. >> people are turning down shelter because it's not a safe place for them. we have to come with out-of-the-box solutions. >> a recent san francisco report found 54% of people experiencing homelessness declined. >> shelter district attorney jenkins, is there anything legal that can be done? so i think the recourse is obviously outside of the criminal justice system. >> but is it? it is. i mean, the criminal justice system is just say no, i'm camping here. >> well, no, they have to be made to be uncomfortable is the truth of the matter. >> we cannot make it comfortable for them to pitch a tent on our sidewalks and stay. >> abc seven take action. san francisco also brought opposing views face to face after the town hall, we noticed chief scott and the executive director for the coalition on homelessness talking. we asked about it the end of the day, you know, they asked not just for jennifer and me, but i think for

work was done at the greater farallones cordell bank national marine sanctuaries. >> so this study is just one piece of that to say, hey, the sea floor holds a lot of carbon. it's constantly accumulating carbon and a piece of our climate strategy to be should be to ensure that that can keep taking place. first. >> it helps to understand that even muddy areas of the seabed are teeming with life. that marine life is also a source of the organic material or ocean carbon that ultimately settles on the seabed. and researchers argue that managing those sections of sea floor correctly could help that natural carbon sequestered. so that's certainly a conversation for decision makers. coauthor doug george is an ocean scientist with noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. he acknowledges that coastal areas are also attractive for industries like offshore wind farms, ocean wave power, oil drilling and offshore mining,

and that governments may need to work to strike a healthy balance. >> anything that is disturbing the seafloor is going to move that sediment potentially back up into the water. >> the team is working to create a kind of blueprint to help countries around the world to identify carbon hotspots along their own coastlines and perhaps begin the process of better protecting them so that they can better understand how their decisions for the coastline and for the sea floor can be informed by where these carbon hotspots are. >> a new focus on a powerful natural solution in the age of climate change. >> drew tuma, abc7 news. >> now the noah research team is presenting its carbon findings at the united nations climate conference going on in dubai. >> all right, well, let's get one last check on our weather because we had some more rain today. >> we sure did. meteorology sandhya patel. back with the forecast, sandy. >> yeah. and dan, and let's talk about the rain and how much fell
