work paying off. treatment makes it about possible for those to live longer and live happy lives. and there are pathways to prevention. it's 1987 this event has raised more than $77 million to fight the-virus and a.i.d.s. but there is still more work to be done. every day in san francisco roughly two more people are infected and rates of new cases are rising hmong gay and bi-sexual men. the money goes to support the san francisco a.i.d.s. foundation and 45 other service organizations hoping to reduce new infections by 50% over the next three years. another exciting piece of information today at 9:45, our colleague, dan ashley, will be among the speakers, kicking off the event and like i said, volunteers, they are already working. you guys ready? >> yeah! >> there you go. any are already working, the organizers and volunteers. here people are starting to poor in. carolyn, i will bring you another live report later today. >> thank you, nick. we know the walk kicks off at

6:31 am
san francisco to help fund their organization. take a look at some. the video that we have from years past. this is the 26th year of the a.i.d.s. walk in san francisco. the event has raised more than $3 million locally for the fight against the transition of-and prevention fair last year alone. many volunteers and organizers are saying they see the hard work paying off. treatment is possible for those infected to live long and happy be lives and recent drug break lose have revealed pathway to prevention. since 1977 they have raised for $77 million to fight the-virus and a.i.d.s.. >> what is important to the is people need to remember the fight against a.i.d.s. isn't over. what the foundation is trying to do is to stop a.i.d.s. by reducing infections to none. and that takes everybody's energy and commitment and attention. >> now event organizers say that the fight must continue pause every day in san francisco roughly two more people are infected with the virus and

6:33 am
area tomorrow but muni say they will take all the necessary precautions to avoid disruptions for riders. it marks the one year anniversary of the fatal shooting of kenneth harding at a third street light rail station last july 19th. the 19-year-old was chased by police when he ran from a muni fair checkpoint. initially they thought he died from police gunfire but a medical examiner's report found the fatal shot came from a gun he was carrying. some dispute that. protesters say his death is the result of muni polls and that's why they are vowing to disrupt service. there is a trend sweeping big cities to create small living spaces. san francisco's supervisors are debating whether to amend the building code to allow developers to shrink apartments that they cancel or rent. >> this table can also be
6:34 am
converted to a bench. >> and the bench into a bed. when you have just 160 square feet, every inch has to do double or triple duty. patrick kennedy is a developer who built this berkeley bungalow. now he wants to bring his concept to san francisco. >> 42% of the population in san francisco lives alone today. nothing is being built to address the needs of that demographic. >> with the rental market sizzling, microapartments would be cheaper. instead of college grads cram four or five in a singleamy home, each might be able to afford a tiny spot. retailers like ikea already offer space-saving products for those who are living small. supervisor scott wiener has introduced legislation that would allow developers to build units with just 150 square feet of living space. but it would also require a separate kitchen, bathroom and closet for a total of 220 square feet. >> when you have a city that is popular, that is densely
6:35 am
populated, we need to make sure that we are being creative and flexible in meeting our housing needs. >> under his measure only new construction could qualify to keep owners of existing buildings from chopping their units into small spaces. that's alleviated the initial fears of the community housing partnership, a nonprofit that builds apartments for no income , low income and formerly homeless. >> i think the new market rate developer, whether they chews to build a 220 square feet or they want to build at 1,000 square feet, if they think they have a market and can get the new construction within the height, bulk and density of the parcel, we should allow them to do it. >> if the supervisors approve the measure, it will bring the city in line with state law which already allows for the small sizes. coming up, the local invention designed for homeland security.

6:49 am
53 in the city. 54 in san jose underneath cloudy skies. we are looking at the clouds just making their way into our east bay valleys but they will pull back before they cloud up. parts of the delta and concord. so that will allow for the temperatures to come up a also bit today, but, boy, we have a strong and unseasonably strong area of low pressure that will be dropping out of the gulf of alaska for tomorrow and that's going to bring a strong on shore flow. we are going back in the other direction with temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees below normal. this little featured to allowing for the slightly quicker burn-off with more sunshine. so today temperatures are going to feel pretty good out there. a little bit more of a spread with some more 80s, but by tomorrow we've got the wind, we've got the low clouds and fog, slow clearing and a very cool afternoon. so the fog begins to pull back by about 11:00 so it will be sunny later on today. but starting out cool in the 50s for the a.i.d.s. walk and
