got to say it's comfortable in the city. >> oh yeah, in the city it often is, but it's up near the triple digits in many other inland locations. and that's why that heat advisory is out there. here's a look at the atmospherics to show you what's going on. we've got this big high pressure system center over the four corners area with its clockwise circulation. you can see that around the system there, and you see the counterclockwise circulation to our northwest offshore. that's a low pressure system. the

combined circulation there with that tight pressure gradient is bringing us brisk onshore breezes. but of course there's little cooling effect away from the coastline. just a little thin, shallow marine layer is keeping the coast comfortable, which is why kristen enjoyed her walk here in the city today. but right now it's 98 degrees in fairfield, mid 90s, mid to upper 90s. in fact at santa rosa, saint helena, cloverdale, fairfield, 9896 degrees at concord and brentwood 96 at livermore, danville 94. so you can see it's hot and going to be even hotter tomorrow. thus we have this heat advisory which went into effect this morning. it will remain in effect until 11 p.m. tomorrow night for all of our inland areas, the valleys, the hills, everything away from the coast and the bay shoreline. so for tomorrow, we're looking at high temperatures in numerous inland locations above 100 degrees, with 102 at antioch, 103 at fairfield, 103 at santa rosa. as we move into the weekend, as kristen pointed out, we'll get a i don't even want to call it a cool down. it'll be less hot temperatures inland will drop

into the mid to upper 90s on saturday and low to mid 90s on sunday. but then as we look ahead to monday, we see temperatures bouncing back up to around the 100 degree mark. so there's a lot of hot weather ahead of us. and i'll have the full accuweather seven day forecast on abc seven news at 4 p.m. kristen. >> all right. spencer, thank you. so with this heat advisory underway spencer. thank you so much. again, keep the abc seven bay area app and our website abc seven news.com handy. you can get the latest forecast and updates from our abc seven weather team. now to the race for the white house. president biden is isolating after testing positive for covid, putting his campaign on pause. he arrived at his vacation home in delaware last night. his medical team says he's been vaccinated and has all of the current annual boosters. the president's doctor says he's received his first dose of paxlovid. he's experiencing mild symptoms, including runny nose, cough and fatigue. this diagnosis comes as calls from his own party to drop out of the race are growing

francisco mayor's race will impact not only the city, but the entire bay area. so this week, we're talking with each of the top five mayoral candidates on abc7 news at three. and joining us today is san francisco district 11 supervisor asha safai. supervisor safai, so nice of you to come in. >> thanks so much. it's a beautiful day in san francisco today. >> yeah. really nice. great for a walk. look, i think it's fair to say of the five main candidates, you have the lowest name recognition. and as such, i just want to give you a quick seconds or so to tell people who you are and what you're about. >> well, listen, i'm proud to represent a part of town that's predominantly working in middle class families. i'm an immigrant to this country. i came here

when i was six years old, fleeing violence. a lot of what you're seeing in the middle east today went to mit for city planning, and i've dedicated the last 24 years to public service in this city. worked under two mayors, mayor willie brown, mayor gavin newsom was a deputy department head for community development, worked at public works, cleaning and greening our streets. so i have that experience and then ran my own small business and work with organized labor. the janitors union, and others for almost a decade. and now i've been on the board for the last seven and a half years. so when you put all that together, i actually have the most diverse set of experience, both public and private, bringing it to the job day one. and i think that's what you need. you need someone's ready to hit the ground running. day one. >> so are you an insider or outsider? >> you know, i've been in city hall for the last seven and a half years, but i also have an outsider's perspective. i've never lost touch with everyday residents. when i got elected, i knocked on thousands of doors every single time. i make it a

point to be out and about all over san francisco listening. and i think that's how you don't lose touch. but again, i ran my own small business. i worked in organized labor. a lot of these buildings in the downtown, the members are there cleaning in the night. so understanding the perspective of working people, working in middle class people who are often forgotten. that's what separates me from the pack. >> okay, correct me if i'm wrong, but i think last year you were the first of the major candidates to declare your candidacy to challenge mayor breed. why do you want to be mayor? i want to be mayor because we need a city for all san franciscans. >> we can't just be a city with billionaires and billionaires. we have 50 billionaires in san francisco, third highest in any other city in the united states. and we have a lot of extreme poverty. but who's fighting for working and middle class people? we have to make sure that all san franciscans can thrive in this city, whether it's through support with child care, jobs, affordable housing. we have to have a plan that makes this a

city that's balanced so everyone can thrive. and that's why i'm running for mayor. >> okay, let's talk about some of the issues most important to the city. public safety is probably on top of that list. you've criticized mayor london breed's approach. you are opposed to proposition e, which passed her measure. it's seen as voters desire to really give police more latitude and really focus on cracking down on crime. so given that, what specific measures would you want to implement that are decidedly different from what's been done before? >> so we're down. officers right now, but we're not down the willpower. and what i put forward this past january was to have mandatory foot and bike patrols. let's get the officers out of their cars and doing proactive community policing. we have never fully done that in san francisco when you go downtown. now, we were talking about walking around san francisco today. you go down to union square. you see a lot of police presence now finally, that was as a result of a lot of the good work that i did to stop

and stem the tide of organized retail theft. we need to spread that around san francisco. we have the ability. i pass the law. we need the leadership from a chief. we need the leadership from the mayor. that will fully embrace this philosophy. and i will tell you, yes, i was against elements of proposition e 100. we are the second most densely populated city in the united states. we have the lowest capture rate on police chases and the highest injury rate for officers and innocent bystanders. so rather than waiting until it's crisis, we have to be able to get out there proactively and get the officers there deterring crime before it happens. >> right. i want to turn to homelessness. >> i want to say one last thing. another thing that we're doing on this ballot measure is we're going to stem the tide of retirement. so we're putting a charter amendment on that will allow officers that would retire to stay on the force as we build up the ranks. and then the last thing, i have a loan forgiveness

program for first responders, because it's not just about police, it's about fire. 9-1-1 nurses the entire gamut. and we're down in all of those areas. so we want to incentivize them to come work for san francisco. >> all right. i want to talk about homelessness. of course, another big issue in the city. just today, you probably heard earlier in our broadcast, we mentioned mayor breed is promising aggressive sweeps of encampments that will begin next month. and you've heard her referred to the court injunction that had tied the city's hands until the grants pass ruling from the supreme court. so what are your solutions given that you've criticized the previous administration or the current one for not being effective or quick enough? >> i mean, listen, i just say there's a lot of incompetence from mayor breed. there's a lot of lack of leadership, management and accountability. we have a $16 billion budget, 15.9 billion. we have the ability to get shelters stood up. we don't have enough shelter beds. we have to go out and aggressively count. we only do that every two years. let's know what the right number is and

then we have to build aggressively the number of shelter beds we can end street homelessness. i think it's very telling that someone that's been in office for almost 2198 days, almost 2200 days over six years, is now finally waking up to the fact that people are frustrated with people on our streets living in tents. we have the ability to do that. we've got to stand up shelter. we've got to utilize the homeward bound program. it's another thing that the mayor buried in bureaucracy. we've got to get that back up. if you can give someone a ticket and get them to reunite with their family and their loved ones in another city, two thirds of the time we do that over the last 15 years. people never come back. that is really about managing our resources and about implementing an accountability. and that's what this mayor lacks, and it's surprising she's going to do it. two months before the election. she's had six and a half years to get the job done, and it hasn't happene. >> we have only a minute. so i

want to give you a chance to talk real quickly about two things that most people, i think agree need to be grown in this city, and that would be jobs and also housing. yeah. what are your specific concrete plans. >> so we have 40,000,000ft■!s of empty office space in our downtown. we want to make people feel welcome to work, live and thrive in san francisco. i have a plan to occupy and reoccupy some of that 40,000,000ft■!s of empty office space, like phoenix, like new york, like a lot of other places around the country that invested in creating urban university campuses. so i put forward a plan and legislation that will allow us to buy some of the buildings that are at historic low, get people in universities to invest and partner with our city so we can create urban campuses and also make 24, make public works, 24 over seven department truly cleaning. we've got to have it safe. i talked about foot patrols. we've got to have it clean. and once we do that, we can get jobs back in san francisco, supervisor asha

safai and also mayoral candidate, thank you so much for coming in today. thanks so much for having me today. >> our interviews with the san francisco mayoral candidates continue tomorrow. supervisor aaron peskin will be here as we wrap up the week. if you missed any of our other candidate interviews, we have them all posted on our website, abc7 news.com. then in september, abc7 news and the san francisco standard are joining forces to co-host a live debates with the top candidates. watch it live on september 25th at 6 p.m. up next, a dispute over dogs. they're the reason some san francisco residents are feuding with the city. our media partne, the san francisco standard, wil

are feuding with the city over protected turf at jackson park. our media partner, the san francisco standard, has a new article, dog owners at war with the city, after rangers hound

them out of the park with a megaphone. joining us live now with more on this is david costard, the standards reporter who wrote the story. hey, david. >> hi. how's it going? >> i'm doing well. this is really interesting. tell us about jackson park. where is it and what's going on there? >> yeah. so it's kind of this quiet little part of potrero hill, and it's mostly a baseball field there. and apparently a lot of the residents who live nearby like to walk their dogs, especially bigger dogs. dogs that want to get out and run. they say that some of the other nearby parks aren't quite as accommodating, for those situations. >> okay, so what's the deal? is there a current rule? is it a new rule that dogs can't be? is it off leash? it's not like they're not allowed at all, right? >> no, that their dogs aren't allowed on the park there, because it's an athletic field. and the city says that dogs being on the turf there can damage the turf and, create an unsafe playing environment. and

they want to reserve that area just for the nearby schools. and, sports leagues. >> so is this a change? >> no, it's not. it's just, so basically what brought this to my attention was there was signs all over potrero hill, saying, let's take back jackson park and piqued my interest because i was, you know, like you said, it's such a dog friendly city. so i was interested that there was a zone, where dogs weren't allowed. and, some of the owners said that they've been harassed and threatened over this. >> yeah. tell us about some of the incidents that you recount in your article. like what conflicts have occurred. >> yeah. so paul, the main person i talked to, said that, you know, every day at around 9 a.m. or almost every day, park rangers come up as he's walking his dog in the park, and they get out the megaphone and start yelling at him and him and a group of neighbors have, you know, kind of just continued

doing what they were doing as a form of civil disobedience. he called it, but then i guess one day it was a couple of years ag, actually, one of the residents, felt harassed and actually said that one of the rangers, pushed him up against a fence. >> can i just ask you, you know, fueling this battle? is there a shortage of both dog play areas and fields that kids and adults can use for sports and recreation? >> so i think that there's just some conflict over, you know, whether dogs are taking over the space or are they adding to the space, or can can these groups kind of, enjoy the park in unison? i think the dog owners feel that, you know, they're just they're doing their five minute walk and they're going to leave and then, the city feels that, you know, there are dog parks around. there's 112, 13 minute walk away. and dog owners should take their park, their,

their dogs to these designated parks, that are meant for that. >> yeah. i mean, it's not like i'm weighing in on this, but i do have a kid who used to play baseball, and i can see how, like, the turf fields, you know, there can be a conflict with whether a dog, you know, being on it will cause more wear and tear. and the city's always looking at the money, so i don't know. but i do know that there's an online petition because you told us so. right. urging the city to rezone. >> yeah. so about well, it looks like 722 people now have signed on to this petition, to rezone the park so that dog, owners can start to use it. >> all right. well, we'll see if they get to that 1000. we'll see if that makes a difference. but david, always interesting stories from you. thank you so much. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> you can check out more of david's story and the san francisco standard's other original reporting
