this is cbs news bay area with elizabeth cook. >> rv after rv lined up along a north bay road, but the county has a new approach to get people off the streets. >> shuffling individuals around or moving them from location to location doesn't really solve anything. >> the unique offer they hope will lead to a permanent solution. good afternoon to you, i'm elizabeth cook. like many bay area counties, marin has seen homelessness grow over the past few years. today we look at an unconventional plan that aims to get people the resources they desperately need. but first let's get you caught up on today's news headlines. this just in, california attorney general rob bonta announcing the conclusion of the review of the shooting death of sean monterrosa, which finds there is insufficient evidence to support criminal charges

against the involved officer. monterrosa was shot and killed by a vallejo police officer in june of 2020. the police department is currently under state oversight following a series of police shootings and misconduct cases. california regulators just approved new rules to let water agencies recycle wastewater and put it back into the pipes that carry drinking water into homes, schools, and businesses. california will be the second state to allow this after colorado. california has been using recycled wastewater for decades for things like watering crops, making snow, and making ice rinks. a third person has died from injuries in a crash on 680 yesterday. a minivan veered off the freeway. two people who died were not wearing a seat belt. the driver survived. he said a tire blew out before the crash. authorities say they've made nearly 2,000 arrests since they started cracking down on open air drug markets in san

francisco six months ago. nearly 700 of those arrests were for drug sales. 800 for public drug use. they also arrested more than 400 wanted fugitives and seized more than 180 pounds of fentanyl. now to our first alert weather. we're getting a bit of a break from the rain right now, the heavier stuff at least, but round two is around the corner. chief meteorologist paul heggen joins us now from our virtual view studio. paul, a lot of folks are hoping to jet out during these dry periods to get their shopping done, when do they have to hunker down again? >> not until later tonight. we're going to see spotty showers. take the rain jacket with you, stash the umbrella in the back seat just in case. the showers are few and far between at the moment. a closer look on first alert doppler, show you where they're occurring right now. a little bit in the higher elevations of the north bay, to the north of saint helena, slightly heavier downpours

there. mountains along the border between napa and sonoma counties and showers on either side of the sacramento valley. in general, we're in that break in the action that isn't going to last a whole lot longer. a few on and off showers through rest of this evening into tonight. more widespread activity is doing to start to hit the coast by 11:00 tonight with much more widespread rainfall in the forecast by early tomorrow morning. this is a tricky forecast, because this is pinwheeling around a storm system that if it jogs 20 or 30 miles offshore, it's going to take this with it and our rainfall amounts would be lighter than what we're expecting. tomorrow is going to be challenging for drive time, especially around 7:00 or so in the morning with locally heavy downpours. we'll take a longer look at futurecast, see how long this is going to last in a few minutes. >> paul, thanks so much. well, this street in the north bay is lined with rvs and has been for quite some time now. but now marin county is trying a different approach in getting the area cleaned up, and eventually they hope

cleared out. john ramos explains how it got to this point and the big offer that could help change things. >> reporter: in the past, homelessness was treated as a nuisance issue, but as the number of homeless people swelled, officials have had to take a different approach. here in marin, they're not just offering support for people living on this street, they're offering an incentive to get off of it. campers began showing up on binford road in rural novato shortly after the 2017 tubbs fire made a lot of sonoma county residents homeless. over the years, it's grown thanks to the pandemic, the economy, and high cost of living. dino moved his trailer here from sonoma county about eight months ago and says a lot of the stress has been relieved. >> here is nice because you don't have to worry about the sheriffs coming in and kicking you -- making you move and go to another spot and then making you go to another spot, back

and forth. in sonoma, that's what we were doing constantly, constantly. >> shuffling individuals around or moving them from location to location doesn't really solve anything. >> reporter: marin's supervisor says they're taking a more practical approach, making the encampment more livable rather than trying to remove it. they supply portable toilets and hand washing stations and trash pickup three times a week, so you don't see piles of garbage and junk like at other camps, but he says there was a necessary first step. >> number one, we stopped it from growing any larger. we physically closed off spaces on binford road to stop the growth. >> reporter: as soon as a vehicle leaves, a fence or earth and berm is put in its place. slowly the number of people living on binford has been reduced to 101 individuals. >> just in the last month we've seen ten individuals on binford road move into a more permanent housing solution. you know, the approach we're taking on binford is we want the next

move that anybody on binford move has to make, that next move they should make should be into a house. >> reporter: to encourage that, the county is trying something new, an idea that worked to clear out many of the unwanted anchor out boats in richardson harbor. they're offering to pay people on binford road who find permanent housing $175 per linear foot for their old rvs. >> so in standard rv that might be $4,000, $5,000. these funds could be used for fist/last month's rent, security deposit, or a variety of things needed when they make that move. >> i'm not attached to this trailer. if they want to give me money for the trailer, fine, i'll take the money. but i need somewhere to put a roof over my head. >> reporter: that, of course, is the real problem. dino says people aren't living on binford road because they want to. until day start building a lot more housing, there will always be those who have no choice but to live on the side of the road. >> now, the state has given marin about $2 million to deal

specifically with the binford road encampment. the goal is to cut its size by half in two years and remove it completely by 2026. still ahead, you could have some cash coming your way. the multimillion dollar settlements for apple and google app users and how to claim your money if you qualify. plus, we are digging into the vault as we celebrate a big kpix milestone. see how actor and comedi

on the money watch, if you use apple music or other monthly subscriptions, you could be entitled to part of a $25 million legal settlement. apple has agreed to pay the money in a class action lawsuit over its family sharing feature, but it denied any wrong doing. the suit claimed customers were misled into buying services through third party apps that didn't support family sharing. customers who bought a third party subscription between june 21, 2015 and january 30, 2019 can file a claim on the settlements website. california attorney general rob bonta announced today google will pay millions of consumers as part of an anti-trust settlement. >> if you use your power to

illegally bend the market at the expense of consumers, small business owners, and the economy, we'll hold you accountable. we'll see you in court. >> here's a breakdown of the settlement. google will shell out $630 million that will go directly to more than 100 million users nationwide. another $70 million paid to states that participated in the suit. the big payout resolves a lawsuit against google, accused of abusing its power by charging fees through the google play store. bonta says those who are eligible do not have to submit a claim. they will get the money into their their accounts. the first pill to treat women with postpartum depression is now available. about one in eight women who have given birth experience symptoms of postpartum depression. research showed this medication taken for 14 days improves symptoms at day 15 and as early as three days for women with ppd.

>> for any mother who is feeling sad, blue, in a way that is persistent or interfering with functioning, sleeping, or eating, or having thoughts that life's not worth living, you should contact your doctor right away. >> researchers say the most common side effect of the drug is some sedation, but they say it would be given once a day at nighttime and the side effect for most people is very mild to moderate. the medication costs nearly $16,000 per course. that's before insurance. raising some concerns about how many people will be able to access this drug. as we work to fight against hunger here in the bay area, we're getting a new look at the need as we close out the year at the sf marin food bank. shawn chitnis is there with more in our food for bay area

families drive. >> reporter: there's always action happening here at the san francisco marin food bank, whether you're inside or outside. take a look at what is happening behind us. a major truck getting ready to head out. let's talk to barbara abbott, the chief supply chain officer. barbara, help us appreciate what is happening with a truck like the one behind you. >> it's a really busy time of day for us at the food bank. right now we are loading out over 200,000 pounds of food to deliver today to our 240 community partners. >> reporter: and that is a lot of food, but it's important for people to appreciate that right now you're having to spend more money to get that food. >> yeah. right now we are spending four times the amount on food than we did pre-pandemic. same thing you experience when you go into a grocery store, food is at an all-time high cost, and that's what we're experiencing too. also, the support from the usda has really declined since the height of the pandemic. we got a lot of support during the pandemic. that support's gone away. so it's the perfect storm

of us needing to purchase more food than ever and it's at an all-time high cost. >> reporter: and so that combination is really a reason to remind folks why now is the time to make a donation. >> yeah, we're super efficient at the food bank. we can take $1 and turn it into two meals. and right now we have a double match on for any donations made up until december 27th. >> reporter: so if you were waiting to make a donation, don't wait anymore. go to our website, kpix.com/give or use the qr code on your screen right now. make a donation and be a part of the difference that is happening here every day at the food bank. that was truly a day that altered our times. 1948 kpix went on the air. >> the beatles are just minutes away. >> if you can believe it, this friday kpix celebrates its 75th anniversary. to mark the major milestone, we are opening up our archives and sharing some little seen videos. one big story, the aids epidemic, and

how a celebrated bay area resident helped raise giant quilt sewn with multiple handmade panels. it began in 1985 as a way to remember and celebrate the lives of those who died from aids. it was called the names project aids memorial quilt, and in 1988 legendary actor and comedian robin williams asked viewers to donate cash to keep this quilt project alive. >> more than 4,000 panels like these, each with a name of someone who died of aids. makes up the names project quilt. it's larger than three football fields. it's an overwhelming and beautiful sight, something that everyone should see. that's why i'm asking you to help. >> well, today the quilt is an epic 54-ton tapestry that includes nearly 50,000 panels. it easily spans more than 30 football fields. the aids quilt

is considered the largest community art project in history, and to check out more from our archives, you can go to our website, kpix.com. it's pretty spectacular to see that quilt in person. all right, let's go back to our first alert weather now. it's been on and off showers, and you can expect even more rain to come. here's chief meteorologist paul heggen in our virtual view studio. paul, we're enjoying a little bit of these blue skies. >> a break in between showers and clouds. this is a time lapse perspective of our views looking to the east from salesforce tower over the past hour or so. let's put this in motion if the remote actually wants to respond for me here. there we go. it's always fun when the technology behaves the way it's supposed to. showers bubbling up in the distance with flatter clouds in the foreground filling back in over the bay. so i hope you were able to enjoy that little peek of sunshine. we've added up a lot of rain since it started on sunday, almost 5 inches of rain now in the santa cruz mountains. 2.75 around san

rafael. over 2 inches in pacifica. san ramon just over 2 inches. the showers are going to be hit or miss. here's a live look out over san jose. showers can be possible through this evening and tonight. heavier rain moves in late tonight into wednesday morning. i think the wednesday morning commute is going to be predictably challenging, and then we dry out on thursday. maybe a lingering shower for the southern half of the bay area around sunrise thursday, otherwise it does look like we're going to dry out thursday. here's the first alert doppler loop. the showers are few and far between. a little bit of activity moving into the sacramento valley. otherwise, tiny pinpoint showers here and there. that's, again, what we expect for the most part as we head through most of this evening. by the time we get to around 11:00, more showers developing, becoming a little bit heavier. the band of heavy rain is going to set up as we head towards drive time tomorrow morning. this is the tricky part of the

forecast, because at the heart of this storm system jogs to the west, it's going to drag this with it. our rainfall totals would be significantly lower than what we're anticipating. another ripple of energy up from the south will send more rain across the bay area during the afternoon on wednesday. just a generally wet day, even though it's not necessarily going to rain everywhere all the time. and then the showers are doing to taper off as we head into tomorrow night. be i the time the sun comes up on thursday, we should be done with the widespread rainfall. how much are we expecting in the amounts are highly variable, more along the coast and north of the golden gate where we have the best chance of that heavy rain focussing for a longer period of time. some spots right along the coast and some of the higher elevations picking up more than 2 inches of rain. you see the lower amounts as you go farther inland in the east bay. 0.5 an inch to 0.75 of an inch of additional rainfall. and that's if the rain makes it that far inland. the for southern end of the bay area, limited amounts. close to 2

inches from this version of futurecast for half moon bay. it's not estimating a lot more additionally for ben loman. i would bet the over on that particular number. either way, plan for extra time for the morning commute on wednesday. we made it to the upper 50s and low to mid-60s today. we're not going to drop a whole lot tonight. temperatures dropping down to the low to mid-50s tomorrow morning. substantially above average for the middle of december. high temperatures tomorrow still above normal. it reflects the tropical origins of this moisture that's made its way into the bay area. however, once the atmosphere dries out, we drop back to closer to normal temperatures. let's bring in the seven-day forecast. we're just going to show you the forecast for the entire bay area because it's another scenario where we're not going to see that big difference from coastal parts of the bay area to farther inland to around the bay. temperatures in the 60s for another few days. as we dry things out, we should see plenty of sunshine saturday and sunday for christmas weekend. highs return closer to normal,

into the upper 50s for a couple days before christmas. for christmas day we'll see more cloud cover headed our way, but it does look dry for christmas day. the next chance of rain doesn't arrive until tuesday night into wednesday of next week. >> all right, that's a gift, having a dry christmas day no question. all right, paul, thanks so much. well, usually it's the quarterback that gets the big nod as the nfl's most valuable player, but as vern glenn reports, the niners star running back is making a pretty strong case for himself. >> this is the volkswagen red and gold report. >> christian mccaffrey is one of the most impressive players in the nfl, but he won't be putting sunday's 41-yard touchdown catch on his highlight reel. >> that was a first for me. i didn't see the ball. i felt like an idiot back pedalling like that for so long. i didn't see the ball until halfway in the air. >> mccaffrey looked more stylish on his two other touchdowns. he scored seven times in two games against and

is up to 20, tied the for most in the nfl. could he be the mvp over brock purdy? >> dude, i think christian should be mvp. i believe that. he does everything for us. >> brock's doing a great job. he deserves the love he's getting. but you got a guy like christian mccaffrey, he's elite, there's no one in the world like him. >> there's talk brock could be mvp and now christian could be mvp. >> i know you're not asking me that question. we might as well go to the next one. you're not about to put me in that one. >> with the red and gold report, i'm vern glenn. still ahead, holiday travel is really ramping up. the optimistic outlook for air travel

americans from coast to coast are gearing up for what could be a record-setting year end holiday travel season. aaa is predicting more than 115 million people will travel 50 miles or more. the travel association says an all-time record of 7.5 million people will fly. u.s. transportation secretary pete buttigieg says his agency is working to make sure flights stay on schedule but also says mother nature could have other plans. >> we may see some bad weather impacting travel around

christmas and new year's. faa is working closely with airlines to plan for that possibility. so if you are concerned about weather affecting your travel plans, check directly with your airline for the most up-to-date information about your flight. >> secretary buttigieg also announced that so far 2023 has seen the lowest flight cancellation rates in the last five years. well, this may resonate with a few of you holiday travelers. a survey of 2,000 american travelers found that 34% of them don't count going home for the holidays as a vacation. 71% say they'll need a separate trip afterwards to really unwind and relax. and listen to some of the reasons for this, more than 40% of adults say that their parents treat them like a kid when they're home and more than a quarter say being home makes them feel annoyed, frustrated, or sad. the poll was conducted by ihg hotels, which of course,

has an interest in people booking a room to escape. well, still ahead, nasa
