9:09 am
officially is projected to pass. yeah. this is the measure that allows the state to borrow billions of dollars to help the homeless issue. kron four's will tran is live in walnut creek with more. will. >> governor newsom has already spent 22 billion dollars during his administration to try to tackle the homeless problem with very little success. now with the passing of prop one, he gets billions of more dollars not to mention tax dollars that actually was enacted back in 2004 to trying to solve this problem. that's been very elusive for him. prop one, it's been hanging in the balance for more than 2 weeks now. that's how long the election has been. but no winter in till last night when governor newsom felt confident enough to come to twitter or what's known x. now to give a comment. so what's going to happen is with prop one passing, it will force counties to spend two-thirds
9:10 am
of a tax proposition that was passed back in 2004 on millionaires to spend some of that money for homeless housing and tackle drug problems within the homeless population. governor newsom, he raised about 13 million dollars to campaign on it. and the opponents spent only $1000 and even then it was a razor thin win for governor newsom. but a win is a win. so take a look at your screen. here's what he had to say last last late last night when it comes to the prop when passing, he says the biggest change california has seen in decades. now it's time to get to work, repairing the damage caused by decades of broken promises and neglect to those suffering from severe mental illnesses. thank you, california. but opponents, they point out to this program here with prop one could be so focused that it takes away from other programs that try to prevent homelessness altogether. how he looses is the homeless situation in
9:11 am
california. there are about 181,000 people in california, homeless. and that makes up about 3rd of the homeless population for the entire country and many people believe if governor newsom, if he decided, for example, to run for the white house, that would be a huge issue that many people would use against him. all right. thank you. well, >> 9.10 is the time park officials in the east bay, by the way, warning visitors about harmful algae blooms that they've detected in several parks, including at lake chabot conditions like low water levels, limited water circulation and warming temperatures. they'll cause algae to bloom and in some cases release toxins. >> but yes, wildlife can be impacted. people at are going reactions depending upon their length of exposure. and then also what talks and it is so you can have a scan our irritation. you can have ira taishan. you can also gastrointestinal issues. you

9:13 am
9:14 am
9:15 am
>> 7.14, is the time and we're looking at another pretty good day. yeah, we've got one day and maybe a half before the rain comes back good day with the james and darya. good morning and good morning, everybody. we have quite a bit of cloud cover still hanging around from the shot of the east bay shoreline, although some sunshine appearing on through, that's going help mechanics, if you will, to get rid of some of these clouds. but they're going return again for this late afternoon. so not too far from home and ultimately win, lose the battle. here's futurecast for in real time going forward. now there's the clear out this afternoon. >> the best will be able to muster cloud cover returnss late tonight. and then tomorrow morning, early afternoon, rain still hasn't managed to get into san francisco yet. it's still a north bay phenomena and that's where the heavier rain will be. ultimately, this will
9:16 am
drift to the south but amounts much more modest, relatively speaking and buy friday evening. it's just about the part we take a little break and more rain comes our way into your saturday. now it looks like an all-day rain in store for us on saturday. but the intensity will be kind of more of a lighter rain shower event. 62 for antioch, a lot of 50's in the east bay up north, lower to middle 50's. futurecast winds will get some winds with this program for your ride home, the rain and the winds. that's not a wind advisory, but it will be a pop that will be inconveniently in the late afternoon through the early evening hours and taper off to a breeze overnight into saturday morning. so today we've got the bay clouds a few clouds lingering inland a little bit here near 70 for a high 60's going on for the bay. now, the east bay still may manage temperatures similar to that on your friday because the timing of when the rain actually gets here, corrects temperatures for our weekend, which it looks much cooler by saturday highs struggling to get to 60. we have rain there and cool with embedded there. moderate rain
9:17 am
showers and then for sunday, a few showers and some clearing the clearing may get the atmosphere, some energy for some far east bay locations may be in the southeast a little bit to pick up perhaps a thunder shower or 2. if it all comes together in time. 63 san francisco looks like today. 64 open and 72 for san jose. we're going to be getting more. the 4 zone forecast for you and check the extended because after this, there are still more rain to come. right now checked the area traffic reyna. all right, davey a highway, busy in the 9 o'clock hour. >> long, 88, 81. 0, 1, things are still pretty busy. there. 2.80, definitely seeing some improvement along 6.80, on the northbound side to san ramon, 13 right on the bay bridge. think we got up to about 25 minutes the peak of the morning. now, 15 minutes on our san mateo bridge south. they want to one checking 85 to menlo park. 57 minutes we were at 60. so we're just down by a few minutes there still busy. that's not right. 13 minutes should be more like 15 minutes, sally down to 37. 85.
9:18 am
80 still huilding as a traveling to oakland crockett outdoors. the maze just short of 25 minutes. all right, james, back to you. >> time now to talk winners and losers on wall street with financial expert rob black. joining us on this thursday. rob, we're looking at the markets and we're green across the board. the dow better buy better than 300 points to the good side. what the game is related to the fed meeting yesterday. the fed stuck to the plan. 3 interest rate cuts for the rest of the year. >> they didn't down to 2 because of a healthy economy. they did talk about how healthy the economy is. so it's kind of a win-win situation yesterday. they stayed with the plan. wall street likes to be known versus i so today we're seeing my crime being a big winner. there are a dram maker make some other types of memory as well. they're getting a big boost from ai again. the theme is starting to spread out from just beyond nvidia. intel's a new stake. is there going 8
9:19 am
and a half billion dollars from president joe biden's chips act to build plants in arizona, new mexico and oregon, which i'm noting this may be a little more job centric than it is geopolitical risk centric. so pretty smart to go to some of the swing states with job and i was kind of cool no link that elon musk company that has >> implants that they're testing a people's brains. i guess they had somebody a demo with an actual human who was part of this trial. it's video worth watching. if you can jump to axe or 29 year-old paraplegic. >> he got the implant. and in the last couple of months, he says it's not perfect. but video showed him basically playing chess on a computer wirelessly moving tracking mouse with his basically i so it's pretty crazy. v start reading the research on it. it's a chip that has some wires ago in your brains and
9:20 am
like 3 charging that ship. they don't touch it to get too hot because literally cook your brain. we are seeing some advances and like the man said, it's not perfect yet. >> okay. now let's talk about this kind of surprise. make just going back to the fed holding steady, not cutting interest rates yet. mortgage rates are still kind of on the high side. so it's surprising that the latest numbers from february show that. sales of existing homes actually by a lot. what what do you think's behind that? >> yeah, you're right. the mortgage rates are high and that kept first-time home buyers away, which is made up. 26% of that the numbers typically historically make up 40%. all cash went 33 1% of offers historically from about 28%. a lot of people are moving from california to florida, georgia, arizona, and paying cash. but the home sells and we're we're dramatically higher up 9 and a half percent. home prices up 5 and a half percent. 5.7%. median price of a home is 384,500. the west did very,
9:21 am
very well up. 19.4% in sales increases south up 16.4%. ultimately we've got more inventory. inventory was up 10%, but they're still only 2.9 months supply. so those cash offers are kind of winning out over the first time home buyers trying to get a loan. so it's kind of good news if you own a home that's kind of bad news. if you don't own a home game. so tough, tough for buyers re. >> and then talk a bit about the department of justice. now seeing the headline here that they're looking to sue apple over its iphone ecosystem, which everybody knows is a very it's a closed system. they kind of keep out any competition when it comes to, you know, offering services on that platform. even the apps, you know, you've got it. you've got to pay apple. if you want to make any sales on the iphone ecosystem. so the doj now taking a hard look. yeah, this this one's a big one. it was well telegraph's. i'm surprised it's moving so low today. it's down 6% about
9:22 am
5 bucks. >> department of justice suing apple over ecosystem spaces created astronomical valuation. the iphone works well with the i watch i watch has serve and they all work well with the services. this is also including advertising browser, facetime and news. so it's a pretty investigation. own shares of apple and historically as an investor, stocks do well, if they're broken up by the department of justice, there's more value unlocked. but i'm not saying that at this point in time, it's way too early. but apple do some stuff. that's kind turkish. they block messages so that iphone to iphone users get that blue symbol versus the green right. and teenagers notice that. that's to say the apple is the little bit more of a luxury item. that's a a of iphone powered by going android. so 3rd party wants been kind of stymied smartwatch, combat ability watch here only works with an
9:23 am
iphone. it doesn't work with any android devices and ultimately department justice and that hurts consumers. apple is going to defend and say it helps consumers because we're given a closed system that does piracy on it. we're going to close system that everything runs smoothly and there's no hitches are where workarounds need to be but you look at the numbers, apple watch soul or the apple phones sold over 200 billion dollars in sales last year. the apple watch over 40 billion services over 85 billion. that's big money. yeah. and i get why the department of justice would want to look into it of note. apple recently lost a a case with spotify. yeah. so the eu basically wanted them to billion dollar. so apple under fire. in the world of monopoly. it's good to be a monopoly because you ultimately wind in the world of department of justice being done by the biden administration. it's probably going to be the targets of the cross hairs, so to speak in a big company that makes billions and billions of dollars put in spotlight for sure. all right, rob, thank
9:24 am
you as always. chat with rob again next week starting monday. so let him know now. >> what you want to talk about youve got his handles there. you've got his e-mail as well, rob at rob black dot com. we
