county. supervisor canepa is calling for more transparency. >> what we're asking is for them to really consider what we had said in our initial letter, just this communication of working with public works on infrastructure, working with the fire department, working with the sheriff's department. >> there is a bill by south bay senator david cortez that would allow cities and counties to implement their own regulations around self-driving cars, waymo said in a statement. we will continue to engage in cpuc process and remain committed to our long tum approach of dialog and partnership with city officials, waymo says there is not a set timetable for when they will start their expansion to the peninsula. ryan curry abc seven news. thank you. >> ryan. in the east bay, antioch city council has rejected a measure that would have cracked down on illegal sideshows. this new ordinance would have imposed fines and penalties to deter the dangerous

county district attorney's office. chief mata has been at the helm of the department through several personnel controversies. >> first and foremost, i think we want someone that really understands and that wants to be part of the san jose community and the san jose way. and then second of all, someone uh- that is going to be creative and nimble, and that can address problems as they come up during the month of march, the city is encouraging the community to speak up either through an online survey or one of several in-person meetings. >> they have translators for vietnamese or spanish speakers are actividades el con los jovenes. maria ortega is a member of the cadillac winchester neighborhood association. as a mom and college student herself, she wanted to voice problems she sees needing to be addressed the trucks alcohol games, but also encourage those around her to advocate for the safety of their children and families. >> and i bring my neighbors because i need to speak what is concern in the community? >> francisco bueno said. an officer was once a mentor for

him in high school, and talked about how valuable a positive presence is for youth. being able to have that connection with police and just kind of having them in my presence and being able to talk with them really helped change my perspective on them. and he encourages younger people to get involved in these conversations. >> so at the end of the day, all these things impact us. and so, you know, if they have an idea of a community that they would like to live in, they can come in, you know, make their voice heard in san jose. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news the big question this morning could tiktok, which is owned by a chinese company, eventually be banned here in the u.s? >> house, lawmakers approved a bill that could potentially lead to that. gloria is at the live desk with what's next? hi, gloria. >> good morning. kumasi. the house passed bipartisan legislation to force tiktok's chinese parent company, bytedance, to sell it or face a nationwide ban. it is now headed to the senate, where it faces an uncertain future where majority leader chuck schumer has not committed to bringing it to a

vote. every us national security agency says that tiktok poses a national security threat. they claim that bytedance is bound to the chinese government, which could demand access to the data of tiktok's 170 million american users. but critics of the bill say that legitimate concerns about the chinese communist party or ccp could set the us government down a dangerous path. >> the answer to ccp style propaganda is not ccp style oppression. let us slow down before we blunder down this very steep and slippery slope. >> we're sitting here with phones made in china. we're wearing suits made in china. you're going to tell americans they can't put a piece of software on their computer. >> tiktok says the bill violates the constitutional rights of its users, many of whom earn a living running a business on the app. president biden has said if congress passes a bill, he will

sign it. it's a risky position in this election year when the president is struggling to win over younger voters. of course, we'll stay on top of this for you, reggie. >> thanks, gloria. it's a tense morning for some people in southern california for a huge crack has opened up in a sherman oaks hill after a landslide damaged several homes. fire officials say the land began moving early yesterday morning. you can see it damaged the pool and deck at this home, and it took out a pool and guest house. and another neighbors are now worried their house could be next. >> i'm concerned about the mudslides and my retaining wall and the house above me. so just in case, i mean, i'm just taking out my valuables at the house. >> authorities are blaming the winter rain on the slide. the hillside is reportedly still saturated with water, even though it's been dry the last few days in the san fernando valley. >> that is scary. time now 509 this morning. the story we're tracking all day long will be the winds. you look at our emeryville camera and it is bouncing around. this morning, a wind advisory is now in effect for a huge portion of the

rising costs are the main reason why they need more money. they're hoping some of it can come from the federal government thanks to the new infrastructure bill, but they would still need most of it to come from the state. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle showed skepticism about allowing that much money. the railroad authority also said there is a possibility they could work with the private sector to fund part of the project, but that is less likely with the central valley line and more likely with the ones from los angeles to san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven news thank you, ryan. >> a new budget proposed by san jose mayor matt mehan includes a lot of time, money and resources aimed at addressing homelessness. the budget for the next fiscal year includes a $52 million shortfall. mayor mehan says it's going to cost about $25 million for stormwater permit requirements, which tied directly to homelessness. the city has to move all citizens who are currently living in encampments along waterways because of pollution risks, or face steep fines from the epa.

>> frankly, what it means is trade offs. it means getting much more pragmatic with your tax dollars so that we don't simply move people out of our creeks and onto your streets. >> mehan says besides addressing homelessness, the biggest budget priorities are rebuilding the police department, cleaning up the city and making it easier to bring jobs and housing to san jose. the march budget proposal will be voted on at next week's city council meeting. >> allegations of unsafe working conditions are creating controversy at a san jose housing project intended to help the unhoused. the city's largest modular housing site at branham and monterey, is expected to open in july after it was initially scheduled for april. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey takes a look at the problems >> work on san jose $70 million emergency interim housing site continues on branham lane, the

city's largest transitional housing project, will feature 204 rooms within the three story structures for hundreds of unhoused. it was originally slated to open next month, but a look behind the fences shows there are still a lot of work to be done. >> you have non-compliant code issues in there. you it's just horrible. unfortunately it seems to be a bigger problem, though, because we've had this exact same thing happen just down the street from that project at another modular housing project. >> mauricio velarde is the director of compliance for south bay piping industry. he's also a watchdog for issues involving union workers, like what he saw with his own eyes. at this project, workers first told him about the extensive building issues. they also voiced concerns over wage theft. >> my opinion is that it's simply greed. it's simply greed, you have bad actors and their bottom line is to make as much money as possible. unfortunately at the expense of the taxpayer, and ultimately the, the unhoused, the most vulnerable in
