during the march primaries, and the state ordered the city to build 82,000 new units, that is, by 2031. san francisco is already the second densest major city in the country, so the question is how is it going to support this growth? abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez takes a closer look. >> when the late dianne feinstein was mayor in the 70s and 80s, it was all about developing downtown. but when it came to the expansion of the neighborhoods, they were clearly off limits. feinstein wanted to stop residential high rises like the fontana towers near aquatic park from popping up. fontana was built before feinstein was elected, but today, san francisco has a housing crisis. high home prices have priced many working families out of the city. san francisco's mayor says the only prescribed cure is to build up, up, up by losing regulation. yes. >> more opportunity? yes. a

better future? yes. a workforce that can afford to live here. yes yes yes. >> housing now as part of an effort to build more affordable housing throughout california, the state ordered san francisco to add 82,000 units of housing by the year 2031. if the city doesn't, it could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in state funding for affordable housing and transit. but how would this new construction affect the look and feel of san francisco as the paris of the west? younger families struggling to stay here believe san francisco has to sacrifice its esthetics in the name of affordability. sam moss is with the mission housing development. we're talking about adding, you know, 1624 story buildings. do you care? >> no, i definitely do not care. i would love to live at fontana towers, and i know dozens of families, young families in san francisco. no they're not, they're awesome. their housing. it's a place that's awesome called housing. >> in recent years, expansion

has occurred in the eastern neighborhoods like the mission district, potrero, and the south of market neighborhoods and mission bay. now the state is telling san francisco it's time to build in those neighborhoods on the west and north side, which have often been resistant to change. corey smith is with the housing action coalition. >> the state is looking at us and saying, you have to build more. you have to build more in your high resource areas, places that have good schools, places that have high quality public transit, frankly, places that have a higher income. >> and it's time for pac heights to get apartments. >> but part of that proposed expansion is facing some pushback. supervisor aaron peskin was able to pass a resolution that would impose density limits in several historic neighborhoods in his own district for example, developers were proposing adding a 24 story building where this two story garage sits. another idea called for demolishing this building to add a 17 story high rise. but because both are in a

historic neighborhood, they are now protected. you know, you can expect people to say, wait a minute, that's his district, that he's doing this. >> i think we can increase the amount of housing and affordable housing in san francisco without destroying our neighborhoods. >> another option is to create more affordable housing along major commercial corridors like geary boulevard, van ness avenue, and church street. but some say there's no point in building all these new units without bolstering public transportation to serve residents. we asked billy riggs, a usf transportation and urban development professor, what needs to happen, how are we going to support all those people from a transportation point of view, because they really want people to live near a transportation hub, right? >> i mean, we're not there. >> we're not we're not there in terms of the current infrastructure, you know, we're talking hundreds of thousands of new people living in the city. now, how are we going to do that? we have to start planning

now. how we invest in our infrastructure. >> he says. our current transit system doesn't work for everyone, because san francisco doesn't have the kind of integrated system like new york city does. that gets you everywhere any time. >> if you've got to wait 20 minutes on a train, is that really work for you? and for some people, particularly at the margins, as we've got vulnerable populations, that 20 minutes late means you lose your job? lyanne melendez, abc seven news. >> so in order to meet that goal of 82,000 units in the next seven years, the city has to build close to 12,000 units per year. that's a lot rain is in the forecast. let's check in with lisa. good morning. >> good morning. we have a dry day today. later on this afternoon in the north bay. will get wet first this morning sunrise is close to 730. so we'll have a darker morning and a lighter evening. with rain arriving right around sunset. we'll talk about the timing and

the amounts for the next couple of days, and then a big 180 for the

after a loss to the san antonio spurs without steph curry. here's abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez. >> good morning. entering play last night against the spurs. just 20 games left in the regular season for the warriors steph curry missed last night. will miss at least one more with an ankle sprain. good news no structural damage. he's going to be reevaluated. on tuesday, san antonio was without seven foot four rookie phenom victor wembanyama also toe an ankle sprain. so chris paul, starting in place of steph in the lineup. all spurs in the first half. zach collins wide open three buries it. spurs led by 19 at the break. third quarter dubs now down 21. got to get

something going. sharing is carrying great ball movement. look at jonathan kuminga see soars in for the slam dubs looking for some momentum a couple minutes later now down 14 chris paul. this is a great pass to draymond green. worries within a dozen steve kerr trying to fire up the guys are kind of sleepwalking in this one. klay thompson continue his great play off the bench comes off the screen. three ball. that's vintage klay good. another assist from cp3 five of ten for deep for klay. but san antonio hit seven three pointers. this triple gives them a 17 point lead. time out warriors final seconds of the third quarter. now devonte graham pull up jumper miss and then spurs the offensive rebound dominic barlow puts it up and in before the quarter ends up 17 after three. fourth quarter warriors still down. big kuminga 26 points in this one. but the warriors just couldn't get over the hump over six minutes to go. where's can grab the rebound. but they don't. another hustle play goes to the spurs and the warriors lose. 126 113 their own for this season without steph you got to

stop something. >> and i thought they got anything they wanted all night. so it was a tough night for us defensively. we just never had any traction in the game. i didn't feel like we had confidence or energy, and with steph out, it changes things dramatically for us. >> unfortunate night, the office for everybody. but john, was great tonight at the rim. and hopefully he takes that same approach when we see them on monday. and, just a just a bad loss though. i mean, just not not good. but we'll, flush it and bounce back monday. >> cactus league baseball giants hosting the a's. just under three weeks until opening day. bottom four new giant former a. you know that guy matt chapman base hit into left field. that's a single solid. another new guy for the giants jordan hicks your starting pitcher. and this is what they.

got him. power fastball mixing in the off speed a's looking lost at the plate. three innings of shutout ball. he struck out six. that's a good sign for san francisco giants trailed one. nothing entering the seventh. but really woke up in the inning. two on for wade meckler. that's a broken bat and it's going to be a base hit. two more runs. score in the giants. win it 5 to 1. congratulations to forty-niners quarterback brock purdy, who got married to his longtime girlfriend jenna brandt last night in des moines, iowa. the couple got engaged this past summer before the season, and now, just 26 weeks before the next regular season begins, qb1, a married man. that is your look at sports. enjoy oscar sunday. let's send it back to you. >> let's check back with lisa on another rainy sunday in store this weekend. good morning. >> good morning to you steph. we're looking at the cloud cover here in san francisco that will allow for a kind of typical day for march, where we'll look at temperatures around average low to mid 60s. there's a weather

system to the north here that will visit us later on tonight, this evening in the north bay. and then late at night in the south bay. not a whole lot with it. and we'll have another one right behind it. that will be another level one system 45. in danville it is 42. in sonoma, 50 in livermore, as well as san jose. good morning. a look outside dry this morning. this afternoon and mostly cloudy a few peeks of sun here and there. but overnight, i should say this evening we'll get the gusty winds accompanying that cold front. that's really going to fall apart as it pushes through the south bay. so we'll get some rain. beneficial rain for most of us, and then by the middle of the week, in fact, even tuesday afternoon we're getting into sunshine behind that last system that exits. and it should be a lot warmer with offshore winds visiting us wednesday into thursday. here's a look at the day to day. well, you notice that we do have some breaks in the overcast. and as we get to about 3:00 the front still well to the north, but uh- stopping

this at about 9:00 and it is pushing right on through the center of the bay. here we could see a couple of downpours, gusty south winds accompanying this and then it pushes out quickly. monday we're left with a dry start and then by later on in the evening once again this is going to start in the north bay and push across the bay. but by this time we're going to look at this exiting by sunrise. so this is tuesday morning. and by the time the morning commute gets going, things should be just some wet roadways out there. and then getting into sunshine throughout the afternoon. first system anywhere from a couple of hundredths in the south bay tonight to about 2/10 up in the north bay, maybe a 10th along the coast here and then adding in that monday night tuesday system brings the totals, the three day totals up to about perhaps a half inch in santa rosa, maybe a third over into the east bay, and perhaps a quarter of an inch in the south bay. and then it looks like we

are done with the rain for a while. the gusty south winds here throughout the afternoon. and you can see as that front pushes through the winds, take it away and we'll get into a calmer overnight. here's a look at our winter weather advisory for the west slopes, and also down through yosemite. yosemite could pick up perhaps a foot of snow while the ski resorts pick up maybe a half foot. but travel to the sierra nevada a little bit tricky there. with that tuesday system highs today ranging from the low 60s on the peninsula. look for the clouds there with mid 60s san jose and then some rain showers. 5:00 up in santa rosa. the accuweather seven day forecast level one system today. that's tonight. and then into your monday. another one late in the evening through early tuesday, a sunny tuesday afternoon and then by wednesday a beautiful day. the warmth and offshore winds. thursday, friday and saturday we'l
