needs. but around 20 jurisdictions have still not adopted a state approved housing plan. >> it's really critical that the cities and counties basically set the table for development to occur. that is, through their own powers to zone. also through to their ability to approve housing developments. and for state their development in san jose, leaders have been working to make changes needed to meet the housing element. >> the council spent their most recent meeting racing against the clock to get plans in place, and sent to the state. the city's planning department told us they don't want to comment until they learn. if their plan is approved. san jose and other cities await hcd's decision as a deadline nears. >> right now, we're evaluating those those jurisdictions that actually have had to do those rezonings to make that land available, to make sure that they have actually have completed their commitments. >> if san jose or other cities are not approved, they may lose state funding eligibility. developers may also bypass

search to solve the mystery of what happened to amelia earhart and find the wreckage of her plane in a sonar image. now shows what some say could be part of her lockheed ten electra aircraft. sitting on the ocean floor in, earhart set out on a journey around the world in 1937 after becoming the first woman to fly solo across the atlantic. tony romeo, head of the exploration company deep sea vision, recently searched. across 5200mi■!s of the pacific ocean floor using an unmanned submersible in the final leg of the expedition, the team captured this sonar image of what looks like an object shaped like an airplane resting underwater within 100 miles of howland island, near where earhart was believed to have gone down after refueling in papua new guinea, romeo says he wasn't surprised to find the aircraft intact, saying, we always felt that earhart would have made every attempt to land

the aircraft gently on the water . the sonar image suggests that may be the case. romeo is also raising hope that some of earhart's maps and charts could be found, saying, we plan to bring closure to a great american story. sonar experts are giving credibility to the image, saying it deserves closer inspection. the deep sea vision team now plans to return to the same location to get better images. alison kosik, abc news, new york. >> wow. >> imagine, 85 years later, that would be awesome to find some answers as uh- it's mind boggling. >> yeah, and if this turns out to be her plane, it would be great. great to see if any of her maps and charts and writings survived. and are, you know, readable or usable. yeah, incredible. >> i mean, it certainly has captured all our imagination. so let's hope this is it. we'll keep reporting on this for sure. >> well, chances are you are consuming some on appetizing ingredients in some of your favorite foods out there. here
