"abc7 news" is committed to

building a better bay area. and tonight, we're live in the south bay, where development plans involving an old shopping senter could end up making a major issue worse. help is on the way. people from the bay area are going across the country, taking supplies and skills to help survivors of hurricane michael. a pivotal moment in the vietnam war protest movement happened here in the bay area. 50 years later, we revisit the presidio mutiny, with one of the men who participated and paid a steep price. live where you live, this is "abc7 news." we need more housing, and we need it right here in the bay area, close to where people work. and this is a prime example of that. >> if you build it, they will come, that's the concern about a new building that will replace an iconic south bay mall. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm ama daetz. we're devoting more time and

resources to the issues that make a difference to your quality of life. >> housing is a big deal here, both for the limited availability and affordability. so too is traffic and the increasing difficulty that we face in betting getting to work the spots that make the bay area such a great place to live. >> demolition began at the site of the old mall that's being torn down to create up to 3,000 new housing units. but can this city easily add that many new people, residents and workers, and in this location? >> sky 7 shows you specifically where this is. here's valco. as we zoom out, you can see across interstate 280 to the new spaceship campus. >> let's bring in chris nguyen who spent all day talking to the people investing in this project and community. >> reporter: opponents say this

project is bigger than cupertino. they say it will impact the people that live here and the thousands who travel on interstate 280 every day that's why they want changing made to the project. once a popular destination for many, the valco shopping mall has become more of an eye sore. but after years of debate and multiple setbacks, demolition started today on the parking garage on the west side. >> once we complete excavation, we need to make the decision which project it is. >> reporter: there are two proposals, one offered up by the developer utilizing the new law that include housing. the other proposal is a community driven plan that was approved by the city council. housing, lots of it, up to nearly 3,000 units. many say that housing supply is critical. >> this looks to be a spectacular project that we

could all enjoy, both in its outdoor space, which the mall never had, as well as those indoor spaces. >> reporter: but traffic is a huge concern. valco sits along the stevens creek corridor not far from apple headquarters. opponents say both proposals include too much office space. >> traffic around cupertino is already a nightmare. when you add 10,000 more people, it's just going to be a disaster. >> reporter: however, the community driven plan does set aside funding for traffic mitigation. >> bike paths and trails and long-term solutions like mobility hub, right here on this property and working with apple to get mass transit here. >> reporter: there are efforts under way to repeal the city council's approval of the community driven plan. should that happen, developers will move ahead with their original plan, although they could face a lawsuit.

the group leading the repeal effort will be at the main library on saturday to collect signatures. i'm chris nguyen, "abc7 news." >> chris, thank you. a lot of people worry that with more development comes more traffic. here's a live look at congestion around cupertino right now from our traffic maps. red means traffic is going slowly, and we're seeing that along south bound 280. a lot of red at 605 this tuesday evening -- thursday evening i should say. and sky 7 is flying live over cupertino checking on surface streets. you can see with sky map 7, this is wolf road that runs from the apple campus to the valco development. and this is what the rush hour commute looks like right now before thousands more people move to the area. as you look at the cross streets from our sky map 7 feature, there's wolf road, valco parkway there, as we fly over that live.

and stevens creek boulevard, as well. richwood drive, and richwood court there. we're moving along north wolf road. this is where so many people are worried that there will be more congestion if there is more development. there are not a lot of options other than driving in that area. that's part of the problem as well. we're going to illustrate that for you now. this map shows transit movement. each dot represents a bus, a b.a.r.t. train or other form of transit. we sped it up so we can see the movement better. we sentered this map in san francisco. you see a lot of dots obviously. now let's look live at kup. -- at cupertino. what a contrast to san francisco we just showed you. several go along valco parkway. b.a.r.t. is working on an ex-tension to the south bay with stations planned in san jose,

outside to get necessities. meteorologist sandhya patel is tracking where michael is headed now. >> take a look at live doppler 7. michael is over virginia, losing some of its tropical characteristics, but it hasn't stopped the storm from dumping rain, causing flooding. winds are gusty. heavy rain right now across the washington area. tornado watch boxes are up until 11:00 p.m. tonight. so still a threat of tornadoes. right now, it's packing winds of 50 miles per hour, moving quickly northeast at 24 miles an hour. it's about five miles northwest of roanoke rapids, north carolina, expected to move out over the atlantic storm afternoon, and become a depression eventually. but not before dumping more rain. 4 to 7 inches of rain with isolated 9 inch totals are possible. so far, the storm has brought 5 to 10 inches across the southeast. and not only that, the storm surge at apalachicola florida was up to nine feet. that storm surge is coming down.

california's public schools rank 44th in the nation. 44th. i'm marshall tuck, i'm a public-school parent, and i know we can do better. in the public schools i led, we got more funding into our classrooms, supported our teachers, angraduation rates by 60%. that's why president obama's education secretary endorses me. we've done it before. now, let's do it for every public-school student in california. i'm marshall tuck. i'm running for state superintendent.

who once said when you learn, teach, when you get, give. >> reporter: stephen cook skipped over the pledge of allegiance, not by accident but intentionally. he told me he's honoring the country in a different way by recognizing great americans instead. >> i would encourage anybody that wants to do it, to do it. and in terms of uplifting patriots, that's the focus of how i want to start the meeting. >> reporter: the board is not obligated to say the pledge, but schools are. in fact, 43 states have laws stating it has to be recited. but students can opt out. seven states have no laws. so here's a brief history lesson. the pledge was written in 1892 by francis bellamy. he was a left wing socialist minister. and you know that phrase "under god?" that wasn't him. he didn't write that.

in fact, it was president eisenhower who convinced congress to add it in 1954. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag -- >> reporter: parents are now weighing in on cook's decision. >> i think it should be a personal choice. students should. be forced to recite anything, or the teachers. >> i'm not opposed to the pledge, and it couldn't make me feel any less of an american or less of an african-american to stand up and recite the pledge. >> reporter: cook wants feedback on who the board should honor next. leanne melendez, "abc7 news." one of president trump's most famous celebrity fans paid him a viz it to the white house today and he had a lot to say. >> if he don't look good, we don't look good. this is our president! he has to be the precious, the fliest, the best factories, and we have to make our core be empowered. we have to bring jobs into
