some dangerous weather out there. so for us, we're going to be dealing with strong winds, damaging winds that could knock down power trees and power lines and caused a mess out there. and also the heavy rain as we've been dealing with southern california. we are life threatening flash flooding in los angeles, santa barbara area. as you know, lots of burnt cars out there in those rural areas. so definitely want to be careful how, you know, i know a lot of us like to travel and drive out to you la. so just keep in mind, you could see some road closures. so that is the weather pattern here. as for the next 7 days, no, we're dealing with some unsettled weather here. so this is a long-range here, as you can see. so this weekend we have a soggy weekend into monday, unsettled weather early tuesday. and then next week, maybe we'll see some partly cloudy skies. back to regular, thank you. >> the largest city in the bay area officially has banned homeless people from camping near schools on tuesday, the san jose city council voted unanimously to allow police to tow any vehicle part within

150 seat of a k through 12 campus. and joining us live now to talk more about this decision and other headlines is in san jose is mayor matt mahan. thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. hi stuff in all right. so let's start with that vote to ban camping near schools. walk us through the significance of this and why it's key that this happened now. >> well, we have to protect our children and make sure they have access to a safe learning environment. this legislation was actually first initiated by students. they reached out to my office and other council members last year and told us numerous stories, examples of their campus being broken into then being harassed on their way on and off campus needles being left in the schoolyard and they they begged us to work with them to come up with a solution to make thedr campus safer. now banning encampments and rv's right around schools alone doesn't solve the problem. the bottom line is

san jose and all of california has to create safe places for people to go. that's interim shelter. that's treatment centers that's affordable housing and what it's available after require that people come indoors as we're doing that, though, we've got to do a better job of managing homelessness on our streets and particularly ensuring that our children are now, mayor, this proposal, of course, as you know, didn't come without its share of controversy. there's opponents who say that this is going to be >> expensive to enforce. it doesn't follow state vehicle code. what's your response to that? well, actually, the ordinance is carefully crafted to conform with the vehicle code. it was not that controversial. in fact, we had dozens of students come out and speak from personal experience and it was unanimously passed. >> by the council and we've gotten a lot of positive feedback from parents, school leaders, community members. the key, though, is that we're not criminalizing homelessness. all we're saying is that as we work to stand up shelter and treatment centers in create alternatives to

encampments, we need to create buffers around our schools, given the very significant safety challenges our children are facing just as they attempt to get education here in our city. i take that very seriously. we can't wait to have sheltered affordable housing for every single person on the streets. do a better job of managing the situation that's happening today. >> so you voted on this ban. what happens next from here? i mean, how do you figure out which vehicles fit the criteria and where those rv's end up going? >> yeah, we were starting with 3 campuses that are particularly impacted. in one as we've been communicating with those who are living outside, we've had some folks who say they understand the policy. they've already moved a couple blocks from the school. so i think this is a very manageable process. with 10 to encampments. it's an outright ban within 150 feet of schools with vehicles because of that vehicle code we actually have to do in engineering assessment to understand the safety risk to

children. and then from there can post signage and if necessary can issue citations and even have toll authority. but we hope to never get to that. we think we can work with our homeless neighbors to make sure we're creating these buffer zones around schools. >> got i talk about some progress that you're making with another significant population of homeless people and that's the group that's living near the guadalupe river trail until that there are at one point about 300 people at least living out there. >> how is this was the city at in terms of maybe the cleanup in that area? >> absolutely. it is a stretch of our one of river in the heart of downtown where we have residents, major employers are our entertainment district. this is a success story. we applied to the state of california for an encampment resolution grant secured 2 million dollar grant used it to help move people into primarily transitional housing and shelter, converted motels, the tiny home

communities we've been building. we did a lot of outreach, offered people, shelter and services. then cleared the encampment and cleaned up the area. and my argument has been that when we spend millions of dollars in taxpayer money offering people shelter and services and moving people indoors, we need to then keep that area clear. we have to preserve our progress. so we are posting signs and ensuring that this public area where we have trails, we have our waterway. we're in the heart of our downtown. we need to keep clear encampments so we can make progress improved to the community that we can actually end street homelessness. and on our ok, got it. so in terms of the process of moving the homeless from the guadalupe river area, >> what's doubt outreach process been have you faced sort of resistance in terms of people wanting to move into tiny homes and affordable housing? so the good news is we were able to do about 3

weeks of outreach before any cleanup efforts were done. and we were able to move quite a few folks into a converted motel which we use state funding and local funding to help. >> create a transitional housing. we also were able to move other folks into the tiny home. a quick build communities with. we've been standing up in san jose. we you know, essentially been doing outreach to build trust with folks and give them options with those quick build communities, which of a waiting list right now of people who are homeless, who have said that they would like to have access to one of those units. so that's why we're continuing to invest. we have over 700 of these quick build units that have been cited and funded. we're in the process of building out. so we have a pipeline of adding more these units as alternatives to encampments so we can keep bringing down the unsheltered population. but i'll just finally add, it's really important that if we're going to be accountable and government for building shelter and treatment centers in transitional housing and

all the rest individuals who are living outside need to be accountable for at a minimum coming indoors when housing and shelter is offered to them that that needs to be the deal. got it. and >> i imagine that there are still some people who are living along guadalupe river area we are expecting some more pretty severe wet weather. are there any concerns about just the remaining population that's out there, a potential flooding in that area? >> well, i want to thank our police department and other city workers who have been out there doing outreach. we have a projection acoustic projection system that the police department uses along our miles of waterways to make sure that they're getting the message out telling people storms are coming in. water will potentially rise very quickly. you need to come back out of the creek here places where you can go. we can we stand up these temporary indoor shelters during storms.

so we're doing all of that. and we believe a bill to keep everyone safe. >> got it, ok? so we have just a little bit of time left to. so i want to make sure that we're talking about proposition one. this is something that you're in support of statewide measure promising treatment facilities for those struggling with mental health and substance abuse. it is expected to cost more than 6 billion dollars. can you walk us through why you're endorsing this and how this could affect people in san jose? >> yes, i want to be clear, this is not new money. this is not a tax increase. this is taking an existing tax and targeting it to start to rebuild our mental health system. we need inpatient beds for people. 50 years ago. we had over 300 treatment beds for every 100,000 people in our country. today we have just 12. so we have to rebuild that mental health system have inpatient treatment options. that's what this would do. next week, the city and county here, san jose and county of santa clara are voting on whether or not to support prop one. and i'm encouraging the

city and county to do so because that is part of how we're going to end the immense human suffering we see on our streets today. ok, got it. >> another major project. we like to get your thoughts on the bar expansion into san jose. are we still on track to see this happen? what's the latest on the timeline? >> but i want to learn a lot this year. first, let me say that with some news a few weeks ago about vta staff have information about cost increases that did not make it to elected officials and the public quickly and often. and i find that extremely disappointing. there has been some accountability for that. there's new leadership on the project critically important that never happens again. the public always deserves to know immediately when there are new cost projections. this year, though we're working vta and the project team are working a competitive funding, process that before the end of the year should enable us to secure the remaining funding

to begin the project. and this is one of those projects, these large infrastructure projects where the longer you wait to get started, the more expensive it is. so i think it's critically important that we secure those federal dollars to match the local dollars. we have already put up and that we get going on the project and get bart to downtown san jose to do on station and complete rail around the bay. critically important that we do that any idea of when we might start that when people might be able to start taking in the bar into downtown san jose. >> well, that's still a ways off first were ordering that big tunnel boring machine which should arrive sometime next year. and then take it from there. but we have to secure those federal funds before the end of this calendar year so that we can get started. >> all right. san jose mayor matt mahan, thank you so much for your insight this afternoon. new data out today shows a labor market heating up. it's a good sign for the economy, but not so much for those hoping for a quick drop in interest rates. washington

correspondent trevor shirley is in dc with more. today's data are the first we're getting for 2024. showing the labor market is not slowing down as some had previously thought. >> new data from the department of labor shows the u.s. added around 353,000 jobs in january with unemployment holding at 3.7%. we came into this jobs report thinking of the relative weakness or moderation and the job market. that's not what we got. >> this was a much stronger than expected january employment report. the data shows most of the jobs came from health care, retail and business services sectors and that hourly wages continue to rise up around 4.5% over the past 12 months. 22 states across the country increased their minimum wages in january, along with dozens of other localities that could help explain why we have wage growth rising. but the good news for jobs and earnings makes it less likely the federal reserve will cut

interest rates soon, however, will get a better sense of that later this spring. i don't know the federal reserve necessarily looks of this report as a bad thing. the white house touting today's numbers as a sign president joe biden's economic policies are working. this is really the kind of report that says that there's economic opportunity out there. there's the potential to get a job and to bring home a good paycheck. >> earlier this week, federal reserve chairman jerome powell said it was unlikely to expect an interest rate cut this coming march. >> reporting in washington, i'm trevor shirley. >> apple vision pro is now available. i'll tell you what it's like to wear. the headset will cover comfort, cost battery life and more.

(fisher investments) it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different.

>> the forty-niners are working hard at practice as they get ready to leave to this weekend las vegas. kron four's will tran is at levi stadium with the latest. >> when they return to practice at one 30 this afternoon. hopefully it will not be raining on them like it is me right now. talk about 2 worlds. it's sunny and raining. so it's almost like the niners one. it's raining like it did in the first staff against detroit lions and nothing but blue skies and the 2nd half as far as the niners when they get back to practice. you know, they have a lot of work to do because they are facing patrick mahomes again, this is the 7th, the rematch in super bowl history. patrick mahomes sees this generation's best quarterback and he will look

to light up the forty-niners defense and then defense has been leaky. 26 points given up in the post season. the niners in the regular season, only 18 points per game. they will be at full strength. brock purdy. he played a full and afc championship game last year against the eagles. he got hurt and left the game early this year. he played a full game and once he goes into the super bowl, he'll be the 3rd youngest quarterback to take the field as a starter in the super bowl got a chance to track down coach kyle shanahan. he says may the best team win. >> the ultimate goal. i mean, we always say there's only one team happy at the end of the year and we're real proud of a lot of things that we've accomplished here in 5 years or so. but and we still want to be the one team that and no matter what you accomplish, if you don't win a super bowl, it's always disappointing. and i think that's really what i meant. we we've we've felt that we've gotten close and were pro-war real proud that

we're back in the situation but we also know how it feels when you don't get it done. so i want to go make sure to get it done this not just a game on super bowl sunday. it is a revenge game. hoeefully for the san francisco forty-niners and their fans because >> a few seasons seasons ago they lost to patrick mahomes so they will look to avenge that. and if they do, they will have won their first super bowl since 1995. this is the 8th super bowl appearance for the san francisco forty-niners and patrick mahomes. this is his 4th one at the tender age of 28. >> all right. and don't forget to tailgate with the sierra kron 4. justin waldman joins chicago's jarrett payton for a whirlwind tour of las vegas and get an insider's look at allegiant stadium sing along with wayne newton and face feast on tailgate tips with a celebrity chef. you can catch big game. tailgate next thursday at 6.30, it's going

and caused a mess out there. gusts up to 60 miles an hour in the higher elevation. so some pretty significant abs whether we're going to be dealing with. but right now we are dealing with lingering showers here. just widespread scattered showers across the bay area. it comes and goes pretty fast. a mix of sun and clouds. you just toss moderate south pass to san jose in the last few hours. so we still have some unsettled weather out there. and this is going to continue until the weekend. it's going to be a soggy weekend. you know, this is a weather maker here. we have area of low pressure that counter clockwise search. you ation there and then we have subtropical moisture coming from hawaii. so all these different air masses is causing. out there. so this is saturday morning. 08:00am be prepared to towards the san jose livermore area could see some rain there. just keep that rain gear handy. and then in the evening we're seeing a significant heavy downpours here. petaluma valley, half moon bay livermore and all the way stretching it out to stockton and the central

valley and now sunday, that's the one you saw that read passed by. this is the one we extremely worried about so sunday into monday. you want to be careful sunday evening into monday and possibly into tuesday. and you could just see it in the rain totals. these are the projected rain totals. santa rosa over 3 inches and the santa cruz mountain ben lowman almost 5 inches there. but what you see 2 on this map over the next until monday. that's pretty significant. temperatures out the door where in 50's here we have a bit of a breeze out there. but it looks like our daytime highs and your extended forecast gonna look like we're staying in the mid to upper 50's a little bit cooler saturday night. but yeah, we're just worried about that rain this weekend and into monday. all right. thank you so much. new apple vision pro headset hits store shelves today. >> our rich demuro takes a look in today's tech smart. >> apple vision pro is the company's first major product. really since the apple watch back in 2015, this is a $3500
