today, but the winds are a lot lighter down your san jose this afternoon topping off at 75. degrees of beautiful weather lasting all throughout this suijk. now it's interesting antioch, for example, we're hitting the 80s today. so micro climates off into the east bay are warming up a lot, but we still stay mild along our coast. averaging out mostly in the 70s and our inland areas all week long with some more sunshine into this weekend forecast. we see a similar trend along the bay and along the shore line of the bay, too. but we could see some 70s trickled in there as early as thursday. 60s and 70s back and forth all week long along the bay will keep you updated on this forecast as we get closer to that, sunnier weekend. >reed>yeah. well since the pandemic upended life as we all know it cities across the country have had to get creative in finding ways to get people back into downtown areas. it still remains a struggle, especially during the daytime. you know, here in the bay, there is a change at night, and it's for the better and it might be an indication of some hope. this week. we're going to show you how san francisco, oakland and san jose

all experience baxley different realities. and let's begin in san francisco, where the permanence of hybrid work has really been a major challenge. according to commercial real estate firm cb ari. the 1st quarter of the year office vacancy rate in the city reached nearly 37. it's not uncommon to hear things like downtowns, a ghost town because quite often, especially go out to lunch. it kind of feels that way, right? but the discussion of office vacancy rates really dominate. the narrative. it is integral it's 1 of the biggest pieces of the puzzle, but as our max darrow is about to show you, it's not the only piece of the puzzle watch. >perhaps it's just mary fitzgerald's bus stop. >>perhaps it's indicative of the bigger picture in san francisco. >good morning commute across the city to her downtown office is a breeze. when she goes to the office that is >

>in the pre pandemic world. fitzgerald probably would have done this commute every day. working in spending a lot of time downtown. but the pandemic. induced hybrid work model has stuck around. and adapting to that. continues to be a challenge for downtown san francisco. during the monday to friday work hours, at least >for assessment. assessment is spot on the university of toronto school of cities has been tracking downtown recovery. progress for several years now by utilizing cell phone data, not just office vacancy rates to compare recent population patterns to creep in. endemic numbers. and of the city's they track the downtown san francisco area remains 1 of the slowest course to recover during the monday to friday, working hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.. it's at about 56%. of pre pandemic activity levels. dr karen chappell chalks a lot of it up to hybrid work becoming

the norm and not a band >but when the evening rules around something changes the activity downtown per the cell phone data surges. from 56%. to 94%. of pre pandemic activity painting another part of the picture of downtown's recovery. like the picture of john constance. experience in union square on weekday evenings. >on this week nights >>people were in and out of his restaurant on i. they were walking to the classic san francisco restaurant. >

>constant says he noticed things beginning to change last year. >welcome. constant can only speak to his experience. >some of them tourists. some locals fitzgerald says on the days she is in the office. >although the workday activity in the downtown area is still slow to recover. she says it is slowly but surely trending upwards. >

marine area. or south like south bay area, >fitzgerald is a fan of the hybrid work model. it works well for her. however. she is away. that it does pose challenges for businesses that once relied on the office crowd. but living with that reality. she sees this moment as 1 ripe with opportunity for san francisco. >

>>all right. this just in an were able to take you right there into a hallway on your live. side. yeah. that is the hallway leading to the courtroom. where right now some big testimony is happening. on the donald trump hush money trial. what is happening just behind those doors with his former attorney, michael cohen testified about he and trump setting up separate companies. in order to buy the rights to a story about an alleged affair. playboy model had with trump years earlier. trump denies that affair. prosecutors could use this information as evidence that arrangements were made to protect trump's

electoral chances. it's all part of their claim that trump falsified business records to cover up a payment of 100. about stormy daniels. that cohen apparently made to stormy daniels, they argue that that money was used to silence her from publicizing her affair with trump. cohen will likely be the final key witness. with this testimony, spending several days we'll be watching. it is 912 in the morning time now to take a look at your work week starting here around the bay today, san francisco lawmakers will consider the possible impacts of artificial intelligence. on our upcoming elections. supervisor. dean preston will hold a hearing on the city's regulations and oversight of a i. we're told it will focus on proposals to address concerns about faults and misleading. a. i generated election material. and how the city can adopt new policies to address a eyes growing role. and taking a live look at oakland, new police chief floyd mitchell will have his 1st monday and in office today. mitchell comes to the bay following an exhaustive search to replace former chief iran armstrong. the previous chief

of police in lubbock, texas. mitchell will be on a communication and get to know your tour of the community and the department. and he replaces opd s former chief laurent armstrong, whom mayor sheng thao fired. in february of last year. the city has been since then without a chief for about fifth months. taking a live look across santa clara county, where we see and celebrate bridge builders at the sheriff's office. specifically, someone putting retirement on hold. sworn in as a new reserve deputy today in his 60s. the former marketing executive turned peace officer tells our dot lynn why he decided to start a new career in law enforcement. at this age. >yeah. on most days you'll find this man on the move working on something even though he retired 4 years ago. marketing executive for over 35 years in high tech, bobby is about to come out of retirement. and do something quite different from his previous career reserve deputy

sheriff santa clara county will join the reserve unit on monday. serving as a part time deputy for santa clara county. finishing my business career. i felt a different calling. bob says it wasn't an overnight decision. the 1st volunteered as a safety. ambassador in oakland, chinatown. after hearing of attacks on asian seniors during the pen. pandemic. he then organized the workshop. to train people on how to use pepper spray to defend themselves. he also attended events to support crime. victims and this journey with helping the community out advocating for victims of violent crimes. it has been much more fulfilling for me. and i want to continue this journey in law enforcement. 66 years old bob was the oldest in his police academy as his youngest colleague was 23 years old. since the exercises routinely, he says, it's good shape and physical health helped them get through the academy. control techniques we learned about vehicle operations. we learned about

shooting. after monday he'll begin months of field training and chances are bob will not be doing felony search warrants or sprinting full speed to chase after bad guys. he says he would like to do more community policing. where he can use his life. experience to engage with the community and businesses. he also wants to incorporate more technology to prevent and soft crime. involves taking a lot of business skills that have already had in my prior career and applying them towards law enforcement. his wife, joe. says she's seen bob's transformation and that is is much happier in this new career. i actually thought he would have re career. or hobby. that was building things. i didn't think he would be like building community. was so i was very pleased to hear that, i think it's a noble thing to be doing his entire family. supports his work, and bob says he's excited to serve the community. committed to the 2nd career. in fact, i'm awaiting
