suspect in both break-ins. >> the level of destruction that occurred to this business just for this person could go in and take a few pair of pants. it's just absolutely ridiculous. and we're asking anybody in the community that's seen this vehicle that knows this person to contact opd so that we can bring justice to that business. >> police say the safety plan, with its increased patrols, is working since being launched in november. they say commercial burglaries in downtown and surrounding areas are down from 256 at this time last year to 120 in that span. this year. california senator alex padilla is no longer staying quiet. he's criticizing the biden administration's handling of border security. padilla says concessions he's made as part of a larger funding bill to help ukraine, israel and other national security needs are a return to trump era immigration policies. the senator was on gma three today. >> as far as i can tell, the negotiations on the border policy has not even considered providing protections or a

pathway, not even to citizenship, just to a legal resident status for these folks that we applauded so much during the covid 19 pandemic. >> padilla says he's especially disappointed in the lack of movement to protect dreamers. last month, he held a coalition of ten other congressional colleagues to call attention to the issue about half of california voters are worried that artificial intelligence will cost them their jobs. >> this is from a new poll by politico. that poll found 43% said, i will have a positive impact on their lives. about 39% believe it will be negative. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes tells us that in the next few weeks, california lawmakers will consider several bills to regulate artificial intelligence use. >> how concerned are you, if at all, about losing your job due to being replaced by artificial intelligence in the next five years? that's one of the questions asked in this politico morning consult poll. more than half of california voters asked fell into very concerned or

somewhat concerned categories. >> this is a legitimate fear. there is no question about it, because the whole thing about ai is efficiency, meaning doing things faster, more accurate and cheaper. a stu done earlier this year by the pew research center found that in 2022, 19% of american workers were in jobs that are the most exposed to ai. >> some high exposure jobs included budget analysts, tax preparers and web developers. medium exposure jobs included chief executives, veterinarians and interior designers, low exposure jobs included barbers, child care workers, and firefighters. regardless of the exposure, officials at different levels say they've been working to protect jobs, microsoft saying earlier this month that it will include labor unions in discussions on ai's impact to workers. the california legislature is set to vote on proposals in its next session. >> how ai is used in the hiring process shefs how ai is used in terms of displacing workers. those are all relevant issues that we're going to really tackle over the next few years.

>> one of the ways is through newly proposed legislation following the sag-aftra strikes, it would place requirements on studios as it relates to using ai to replicate a performer's likeness. state assemblyman asakura introduced it. >> some of the impacts of ai aren't so obvious, so if we can't even get movement in an industry that that the public is generally aware of, it's going to be really hard to get movement in an office environment or a warehouse environment, or at a fast food restaurant or grocery store environment. >> as officials continue to work those things out, some tech experts encourage employees to consider embracing ai to make them better at their jobs. >> don't just shy away from it by saying, well, it's either you or i and we cannot. we cannot coexist. uh- the future is actually for both for the ai and for the human to work together in silicon valley. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> so far, so good at the bay area airports today, on what is said to be the nation's busiest day for christmas holiday air travel. a live look now at sfo, where flightaware says there are some delays. about 150 or so,

primarily because of messy weather elsewhere in the u.s. they've been pretty minimal now, despite longer lines at check in , the experience has been free flowing at all the terminals. sfo is expecting more than 6 million travelers to pass through between the thanksgiving holiday and new year's day. we checked in with oakland, san jose and santa rosa airports as well, where there are a handful of delays but nothing major. the faa expects nearly 49,000 flights to operate today, which is the highest daily number over the christmas period. all right. so will the weather cooperate for all those traveling this holiday? let's get a check on the accuweather forecast from abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. hi sandhya. hi there. >> yeah, ama, i think locally you're just fine. not the case down south. let me show you a live picture right now from our pier 39 camera. where it's absolutely beautiful out here. we just have a mix of sun and clouds as we look at live doppler seven. all is quiet right now, but south of monterey they are seeing some showers near big sur. that's all in association with the same storm that hit us yesterday. it has been soaking southern california

. they've seen flooding, rain, that area of low pressure still spinning off the coast. as you will take a look here, there are flood watches and warnings still going for southern california as the torrential rain is expected to continue. so if you are traveling, that could be one of our problem spots. now rain is expected in seattle tomorrow. 47 degrees. if you're heading to salt lake city, 50 degrees really down south los angeles, 64 phenix, you're going to be in on that stormy weather as well. and now across the central u.s, you will notice a line of wet weather from the midwest heading down towards the south. dallas 70 degrees chicago 46 with some rain, rapid city 58 and back east. all is quiet, 74 degrees down in miami where it's going to be cloudy, but at least it's mild in new york, 40 degrees in boston, 35 with sunshine. i'll be back with a look at your weekend forecast. plus christmas coming right up. larry >> sanjay, i'll see you in a few minutes. a bold new law is coming into effect in california

at the start of the new year. this will require gender neutral toy sections at large retail stores in the state. abc seven news reporter j.r. stone explains. >> most toy stores have the pink girls section and the blue boys section. now a new california law going into effect at the start of the year will require large retail stores with 500 or more employees statewide wide to have a gender neutral section for toys. we're not affected by the law, but i say yay! >> it's not called woke. it's called american freedom. >> reporter helen dean is the longtime owner of toy safari, a toy store in alameda. she is cheering on the move much of her store already has a mix of toys for boys and girls side by side in every aisle. even the lego friends collection, specifically marketed for girls and not fully compatible with other legos. she says. many years ago, barbie toys like this were geared towards all kids. now the packaging is straight pink.

>> if you look at the packaging, you can see an evolution in going from kids playing with toys to say, hey, we're going to sell this to a little girl and this is what she's going to want , because we know the way we are feeding their minds and the materials we choose to use, it is narrowing their ideas and the ability to really negotiate the world for them. >> but this new law does not take away a boys or girls section. it only adds the gender neutral section. putting similar products that had been marketed for girls or boys side by side in an aisle, along with toys that could appeal to everyone. here's something that you might find in a gender neutral section a clue doll made in france could be for a girl or a boy, but those with the california family council say enough is enough. if they believe sacramento needs to start focusing more on things that matter and less on toys.

>> it's a little crazy that sacramento seems so intent on breaking down the distinctions and differences between men and women, between boys and girls. it's not enough that we are having gender neutral bathrooms. we're even trying to extend that to the toy section. >> if the law is violate and a store could first be handed a $250 fine, then a $500 fine for a second offense, j.r. stone, abc seven news. >> traffic could be a major issue for fans heading to the christmas night showdown between the 40 niners and ravens at levi's stadium on monday night. the niners and the city of santa clara reportedly cannot agree on exactly who should cover overtime costs for pe, fire and city employees needed to work that game, according to sfgate. the city is considering paying double overtime because they can't find enough people to work on the holiday. we've reached out to both sides for comment and are waiting to hear back. you take all the stress out of parking and waiting and

also declaring 23 as one of the best. >> our growers are saying high quality, high yields, which is somewhat unique. um, and yeah, definitely one for the record books. >> these vines are now dormant for the winter, but after a challenging decade of wildfires, fires, smoke, and epic drought, there's now something worth raising a glass tube. >> grape growers and winemakers this community remains adopt. they adapt. they're they're in farming. it's what mother nature throws their way. >> and this year the vineyard gods seem to be smiling. the 2023 year should be ready to taste in about 1 to 3 years as a winemaker. >> it's almost like that wave that you chase if you're a surfer, you always hear about it. there's legends about it. you don't know if it actually exists, and then. >> all right. and that was cornell barnard reporting. well mortgage rates are down again dropping to their lowest level since june. according to freddie mac. the average 30 year fixed rate mortgage dropped to 6.6% this week. it marks eight straight weeks of decline,

this is abc seven news. >> for 50 years, the trans america pyramid has defined the skyline of san francisco. >> well, now its new owners are hoping a massive redevelopment of the block where it sits will actually redefine the city's downtown. >> abc seven news insider phil matier joins us. phil, you actually got a first look inside the building. you talked to the building's owner. that's right. the future. that's right. >> you know, and when it comes to building a better bay area, sometimes it means taking a big risk, betting big. and one developer, michael schivo, is hoping $1 billion investment in one of thebillion investment in one of the icons of san francisco will encourage workers to finally return to downtown san francisco. let's take a look. why would you sink $

billion into office space in a city that's got a 30% vacancy rate? it's a great question. >> so, you know, i walked when i came to see this building for the first time to buy it. i walked around that corner, looked up to the building, and i told my team, we have to buy this building. it's the fact that this is the symbol of san francisco, no different than the cable cars or the or the golden gate bridge. this building and our investment here, we have $1 billion invested here, is going to rejuvenate this entire neighborhood. you are in the center. we call it the pyramid district. now, because you're in the center of these five amazing, 4 or 5 amazing neighborhoods that all collide over here. you know, my dream and my vision from three years ago. and we bought the building now came to fruition not only because what we've done here with the building, which you're the first one to see it, but also from the terrace decade here, the gamble, i mean, with one third vacancy rate and all these projections we're seeing about, you know, will work. >> come back. will the offices come back? you think you're going to be able to lease the place out? >> well, look, we've signed

multiple leases. give it some some stats. when i bought the building, the rents here were between $60 to $100 a foot. we've signed leases between $100 to $275. >> so you actually asking more? >> more than twice what it was before? covid. we can't look at all office being equal. there's office that that has to be demolished. there's plenty of buildings that i could walk you outside here and in every city in new york and chicago, in miami, that just have to go because they're not relevant anymore for the future of how people work. the idea with this building and with other buildings that we own, because we only we only operate in a trophy esque market. >> chicago, miami, new york, what you're seeing today andwhat mostly after covid also is this huge flight to quality, right? >> tenants want the best product. money is not an issue. we're talking today. the stock market today is an all time high. there's no issue with the economy of this country. the issue is that finally, people

understood that their office experience shouldn't be worse than their home experience. what we've done is we've created an experience here and in any other building that we've developed or that we remastered. the idea is that the hospitality level of experience that an office building should be at the highest level. we have to earn the commute. you ask about the future of office. people have to have a reason to come to work right now, employers are having a tough time getting their workers back three days a week. >> is that how you're banking on this, that people would come in three days a week or the first day? >> first thing that sets i disagree with that statement because we're seeing in our building in chicago, new york, and here that that employers or most employers are bringing people back five days a week. that's not the idea of and i've always been, you know, from the beginning of, of covid, i've said that the idea of work from home is not sustainable. it was a moment in time and there was a huge transformation. since goldman sachs, apple, facebook, everybody brought employees back five days a week. finally they understood that collaboration cannot be done in your pajamas,

sitting in your kitchen on a zoom. it's just not feasible. people are meant to be together and to work together. but what are we doing here and what are we doing in our other office buildings? we're giving employers tools to lure people back to work. we got a private redwood park in the middle of san francisco, something that nobody else has, right? even in my building in new york, while i have buildings that are on fifth avenue that are overlooking the park every thing you see here is all going to be restaurants, coffee shops, uh, souvenir shops, everything you bought these two buildings too, right? i own the entire block. >> okay. what is. you see as the future of office work? what kind of people are going to be in offices? is it going to be tech? is it going to be artificial intelligence or or is it going to be the, the old the more financial groups, hedge funds, who what's the future of american offices and in downtown cities. >> so let's talk about san francisco's specific because each each city truly has its own kind of unique, um, unique aspect. i'll tell you who we're

leasing space to. we're leasing space to, you know, vcs. you know, the higher end venture capital, uh, companies that are at the top of their market, right? leaders of the industry, financial, financial companies, if it's hedge funds or private equity. um, and that that's at the pyramid in two transom. erica, you're seeing more of the of the kind of late stage startups. so we're getting a variety of tenants. but what we're what's connecting everybody is they're looking for the next generation of office space. they're looking for the for office space of the future, not the relics. as you said. and that's when you talk about the 30% or 40% vacancies. those happen in buildings that are just not relevant. they have a building with eight foot ceiling and small windows. there's no reason for anybody to go to work. we got the people on the street. >> you walk down the streets here, you see tents. what kind of. >> i haven't seen tents down here. and i haven't seen actually the homeless here. interesting. so i, you know, i live in new york. i come here every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on

the month. and i've never seen san francisco so busy as i've seen it. this week when i've been visiting here. you're seeing the energy back on the street. you're seeing people back. you're seeing people back at the office even here, because we, you know, we monitor, uh, occupancy. we're at an all time peak as far as tenants, uh, bringing people back to work so you don't buy the doom loop of san francisco. there is no doom loop. there is no doom loop. writing off san francisco is not something i would do anytime soon because like i said, it's an attractive city. the people are great, the food is great, it's a beautiful city, and it's been through a lot. i mean, it's been through fires, through earthquakes. it's always survived. um, and, you know, i have a i have a privilege and i have a great advantage over you. i'm not from san francisco, so i can see the beauty of san francisco, because you know, you guys are all so self-critical about about every single thing. but when you come from the outside and you see the beauty of the city, you see the people you see, you experience the food. it's a it's a marvelous place. and i have the ability and the advantage of operating in all these different markets.

san francisco is one of my favorite cities in america. i've invested $1 billion here, and i can tell you that i've always been positive and i've said to you, faith is something that you always need to have, not just when times are good, when times are tough, when things happen. you have to believe. and i'm a big believer in the city and i just i don't just talk about it. i have $1 billion invested behind my belief. >> and the developer tells us that the newly renovated pyramid will create about 7000 new jobs in san francisco and generate $2.5 billion annually in revenue . once it's open and fully running. >> i love where he said. i have a big advantage over you, starting with the fact that i'm a billionaire, right? but >> and that he's not as cynical as as we are here and not feeling this, but, you know, he's investing not just in a building. he's vesting in an icon. i mean, you got the empire state building on the east coast, and you got the transamerica tower on the west coast. so people are automatically going to be looking at it. it's going to get attention. >> biggest challenge to get this done. >> the biggest challenge to get
