clearing homeless encampments. abc seven news reporter laura rodriguez joining us live in san francisco. and gloria, what will this mean for the city and for unhoused residents? >> reporter well, you know, kumasi this has been a debate for some time, and there are many people here in san francisco who disagree with the recent court rulings. but the city attorney believes this will allow officials to more effectively tackle this issue. the ruling from the appeals court yesterday overturned an injunction that prevented the city from enforcing or threatening to enforce laws that ban unhoused people from staying on public property. and now the city will be able to site and even arrest the unhoused. san francisco city attorney david chu says the city has spent billions of dollars on homeless services over the years. >> we could make all the offers of shelter and services that we wanted, but there were many moments where unhoused folks would simply reject or refuse services, reject offers of shelter.

>> we as a community and our political leadership over decades, not just the current leadership, but going back decades, have made concerted choices to disinvest in affordable housing and instead invest in policies that push people out. >> that's nisha kashyap, whose lawyers committee for civil rights was part of a lawsuit that sued the city over the rights of unhoused people. and she believes that these sweeps will only push people from place to place. and ultimately do little to solve the problem. and she's instead calling on elected leaders to invest in what she believes are real solutions. and there's still litigation ongoing about what to do with the property of the unhoused. and a lower court is expected to rule on that soon. live in san francisco gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria. leaders in the south bay are considering a crackdown on encampments, and today it heads to a vote. amanda, this would involve people living and camping along creeks in san jose and reggie. >> we know it's been an issue

or jail time. as punishment. valley water says that would be a last resort. it ultimately hopes local governments and social service agencies can work with them to create an overall solution. the valley water board is set to vote on the ordinance today, and if it is approved, it will go into effect in 30 days. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. a setback for affordable housing for farmworkers in the peninsula, san mateo county officials say they've decided a 50 acre property formerly known as bay city flour company, is not suitable for building housing, so they're not buying the land. the property was seen as a way to add affordable housing along the coast. after the mass shooting last year at two mushroom farms exposed poor living conditions that many farm workers face. another affordable housing project was just approved in half moon bay last month. >> today, the man charged with murder for the death of a woman at the powell street, bart station is expected to make his first court appearance last week. police say the man pushed 74 year old corazon dandan. she
