balanced budget will help move 1200 people off the streets and into safe sleeping sites, and will invest $40 million in new affordable housing. it will also allow the city to comply with the clean water act and avoid expensive legislation over pollution from encampments along san jose waterways. >> despite coming into this process a few months ago, with an estimated $55 million shortfall, we have been able to make the necessary trade offs, have the creativity and flexibility as a city to address all of those needs without having to do layoffs or harm other core city services. >> council members said the choices they made focused on areas that were most important to residents, including homelessness and public safety, didn't see a lot of programs cut, which was also tremendous, maybe some of the, arts organizations and other organizations we support didn't get funded to the highest, the

higher level. but that was all because we were looking at a thoughtful budget that addressed all of the needs of our community. >> mayor mahan also touted other priorities, including new automatic license plate readers and speed cameras to improve street safety. >> the leading candidates for san francisco mayor will face off in a debate tomorrow night. ktvu has partnered with city arts and lectures and manny's for a debate between incumbent london breed and candidates mark farrell, daniel lurie, aaron peskin and aisha safai. the debate takes place tomorrow night at 630 at the sidney goldstein theater. new york times san francisco bureau chief heather night and manny uchitel are the moderators in person. tickets are sold out. tickets to tcthe debate virtually are still available, and we will make the debate available in its entirety afterward on the fox local app. for your smart tv, as well as on the ktvu youtube channel and a heat advisory in

marine layer at all. it looks like it's going to take a couple of days for it to get its act together and become, you know, summer fog, if you will. there is the golden gate bridge, obviously, and there is no fog there now. there was fog this morning earlier. you see a little haze out there as well. that's indicative of the high pressure that's kind of around. and these are the current temperatures. so it's still up in the upper 90s inland. you see a green yellow and or orange areas. that's sort of the sea breeze as it exists now. but the sea breeze is going to get bigger tomorrow. you'll see a lot more greens and yellows tomorrow as we show this same map, the same time. but tomorrow i'll see you back here in a few minutes with the full forecast. >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, bill. thank you. groups behind the proposed california forever community are touting its advantages. big and small. >> if we don't build walkable, medium density communities, what happens is we will sprawl. >> still to come, the ultimate decision facing voters in november as opposition grows to the plan. >> also ahead tonight, south bay health leaders say drug overdoses typically spike during the summer months . the steps being taken

the california forever group says the plan is the best way for the county to plan for growth. >> tens of thousands of acres of prime farmland have been paved over to build subdivisions, and so it's not a question of whether we build. it's a question of where. and we believe this is the best way to protect the best farmland in this area and build a compact community on a small portion of it. and build a better future for tens of thousands of families. >> several groups, including the solano land trust, have opposed the project and the ballot measure, saying it would harm conservation areas and destroy farmland. >> santa clara county leaders are highlighting a unique program to treat opioid addiction in teenagers and young adults. county supervisor cindy chavez joined officials from santa clara valley medical center to get the word out about its drug treatment center, vmc is the only hospital on the west coast with an inpatient fentanyl detox treatment program for people under 20 years old, with same day admission. this was

her plate. she oversees all basketball operations. that means she's in charge of hiring the first head coach in franchise history. building a roster of 12 players from scratch. many of those players will come from the expansion draft later this year, others through the regular wnba draft next april, and we might even see a trade or two prior to the valkyries inaugural season in 2025. about 11 months out from their first game, we caught up with nianhan on zoom and asked her what the last month or so has been like for her. >> it has been a whirlwind, i think i was prepared, for it to be this fast, and i wasn't prepared all at the same time, if that makes sense. and so now, now, another part of all of this is bringing a team to life, and so that's, you know, my role, and, i need to hire a lot of people, i would guess, sort of near the top of that list would

be a, a head coach. >> give us a timetable on that. and what are you looking for specifically in the first head coach of this franchise? >> yeah, the timetable is fluid because i want to have an exhaustive search, kind of all different backgrounds. the type of coach that i'm looking for is one that is, even keeled, to be able to really focus a lot of their energy on the athletes being able to communicate with them, in a way that the athletes are able to receive the communication. i think. mr. la'akea. joe lacob i'm still working on the whole mr. versus joe thing, he and i are aligned, with the timeline. and, i'm excited to get started. >> yeah, i guess when in doubt, go mr. laker. but after after a few meetings, it's joe, lots to do in the next 11 months. and even though the valkyries are an expansion team, you know, joe

lacob, he loves to win and he's not going to he's going to spare no expense in trying to build this roster and build it. now right out of the gate. exactly. so no pressure. but they're not going to be the typical expansion team, i think. >> all right. well, it'll be fun to watch. sure will. jason. thank you. >> all right joey chestnut's reign in competitive eating has hit a bit of a snag. a spokesperson for major league eating says the bay area native is not welcome at this year's hot dog eating contest. the decision is reportedly due to chestnut's sponsorship with the plant based meat company impossible foods. the hot dog eating contest is sponsored by nathan's famous hot dogs. chestnut has won the event the past eight years and holds a record 16 titles. joey chestnut put out a statement late this afternoon on x, saying i was gutted to learn from the media that after 19 years, i'm banned from the nathan's july fourth hot dog eating contest. i love competing in that event. i love celebrating america with my fans all over this great country on the fourth, and i have been

training to defend my title. he went on to say, bill, no worries, his fans will see him eat it very soon. i'm going to say go for it. that's right, i threw it. >> it's wrong. it's just wrong. jamming hot dogs in like that. no, you don't like. he's not an athlete. i don't care about joey chestnut. that's just impressive. i'm not. yeah, okay. >> look how long he's been doing it. he's been hard. i can't watch it. a lot of titles. >> it's just. it's foul. i mean, it's just weird, right? i mean, okay, anyway, i just. yeah, i hope he's good. and i do think they should let him be in the contest, because just because he's eating vegetarian hot dogs doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to mow regular hot dogs. but still, the whole thing is weird. okay, so outside we go. these are the highs from today and i get as long as i've been here. i'll show you the highs right here. as long as i've been here like 30 some years. julie we all joey chestnut has been around like 30 some years. man >> for one it like i think what do we say 16 years champion 16 years. >> he's been around a long time. hot dogs and every time i say the same thing i said it to

dennis. i said it to julie. i've said it to everybody. i just don't think he's an athlete, that's all. i just don't think it's a thing. okay, so temperatures tomorrow are going to drop off. they're going to go from where they were today in san mateo at 93 down to 79. livermore 101 down to 87. that's a big drop. so we did a big swing this way. we went up about 1015 degrees today from yesterday's highs. now tomorrow we're going to swing back the other way and drop a good 5 to 10 degrees. there is no fog at the golden gate bridge yet. the fog is out there. it was there this morning, but it's very chewed up. it's struggling to really keep itself intact. so fog is going to be sparse, but the onshore flow will not be. so we're going to see more of a push of cool air tomorrow. this is right now. you can see how much warmer it is than yesterday. but we're going to see a cool push of air and that's going to get this excessive heat warning gone for us. but it won't be enough cooling to cool off the central valley. so they're going to keep an excessive heat warning through wednesday night. and then the excessive or the excessive heat warning through the night. wednesday night in the heat advisory through

wednesday night for sacramento and stockton and modesto. so the high is kind of just doing its thing where it's allowing the onshore flow to mildly cool us off tomorrow. so it's going to be down 4 or 5, eight degrees. but then this shows up towards friday saturday and sunday and into thursday. and it basically really drops the temperature. so we're going to get right back down into the 80s very, very rapidly for tomorrow. you'll see the fog trying to set up, but it's kind of getting chewed up. there's still a little bit of a north wind, but you see the sea breeze making its way further inland. so forecast highs tomorrow. not hundreds but upper 80s low 90s. and then the five day forecast. and you see what thursday and friday. right. those are pretty mild not mild but it's just not hot. those are the hot spots. most of us see that middle tier numbers. most of us are going to be there in the mid 70s. >> all right bill thank you. making lgbtq patients feel more welcome. one bead at a time. how a patient advocate at a clinic (♪)
