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 regulations. 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. they're 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, i 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, anytime. 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, is 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. all right, let's check out the rain in the forecast. how's it looking out there, lisa? >> you know what the rain is going to hold off for the bulk of the day. we do have fog in santa rosa right now. and as we look out towards emeryville, temperatures around 50 degrees near average today, plenty of cloud cover and then rain for the evening in the east bay will plot it out and talk about rain totals

>> 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 and 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 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 caring. great ball movement. look at jonathan kuminga soars in for the slam dubs. looking for some momentum. couple minutes later now down 14 chris paul's 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 17 three pointers. this triple gives him 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 envisioned when 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 is a married man. that is your look at sports. enjoy oscar sunday. let's send it back to you. >> congrats to brock. exciting news. well, we get a break from the rain this morning, but it is making a comeback tonight. let's check in with lisa. >> yeah, we have a couple unsettled days. stephanie here's a look at live doppler seven right now. and that is the front . well to the north of us that will be pushing through the bay area later on this afternoon in the north bay. and then this evening for the rest of us. 727 is the sunrise. and the sun sets at 712. so you probably notice that how dark it is this morning it is 50 in san francisco right now. you can see some of the fog there and the cloud cover 51 in oakland, 53 in san jose with 48, san mateo and a look at pier 39 where there are some clouds and a couple of sleepy sea lions. there it is 39. petaluma 43, in

napa, 44 fairfield and 50 in livermore. and finally, from our roof camera, mostly cloudy, a few peeks of sun, east bay and south bay throughout the morning hours, then clouds thicken in the north bay tonight. rainy and gusty for most of us as that cold front slices through the bay area, and then we'll get sunny into tuesday afternoon. high pressure builds on wednesday and offshore winds on thursday into the weekend. and we're talking temperatures well above average. here's a look at the rest of today. couple hours here of some sun. and then the clouds increase the front about 5:00 through santa rosa pushing through marin county by the evening hours. and then as we look at the east bay, you can see some heavier downpours there over in concord, perhaps emeryville along the peninsula. 9:00 and then it falls apart and exits the south bay later on tonight, 9 or 10:00. so early monday we are dry and we'll get a few peeks of partly sunny conditions again. but that afternoon commute on monday, looking kind of wet in the north

bay, and then some heavier rain light to moderate throughout the overnight hours into early tuesday. and then by sunrise we have wet pavement, sunny skies and a sunny afternoon. first system leaving anywhere from a couple hundredths to about 2/10 up in the north bay. and then we add in that monday night and tuesday system, we could be up to a third of an inch in some areas, maybe a half inch as we go up through the north bay. so really looking at beneficial rain and in the mountains it will be snow. but with the cold front today, some very gusty winds. so watch as it sweeps through the late afternoon into early evening. those winds really kick up and so we'll be looking at a blustery evening. winter weather advisory for the west slopes, also down through yosemite. 6 to 10in above 5000ft. and those winds up to 45 miles an hour. and the snowfall anywhere from about 2 to 6in on the west slopes there. and the resorts picking up a fresh dusting of powder there. 60 in oakland today look for upper 50s

up in the north bay. the accuweather seven day forecast. it's oscar sunday, a sunny, dry day in southern california. we'll get wet and windy this evening. level one system into your monday. another late day rain event into the overnight hours on tuesday, tuesday afternoon it's sunny and look how the temperatures warm. we're talking some beautiful weather and still a couple of days away from spring. as we get towards next weekend, you can make money the hard way as a bullfighter or a human cannonball...
