bigger than housing and san francisco continues to lose affordable housing almost as quickly as it builds it. >> the city keeps track of how many new units are market rate and how many are earmark for low income tenants, but for every two new affordable housing units the city loses one existing housing unit. >> that's according to a housing balance report to be discussed at city hall on monday. "abc 7 news" reporter lyanne melendez is in the newsroom with what the city thinks the solution should be. >> you and i know the city forced developers to build mixed use housing, still there's a huge demand for affordable housing. now city hall is thinking maybe we should rely less on the developers and put more resources into public ownership. building more affordable housing has long been a goal of the city, but the battle to keep people here has been more challenging than anyone predicted. >> we have people living there 44 years in the richmond district, raised their families

there. all of a sudden the building is being sold and they are looking at being evicted. >> reporter: that's nothing new. what is different is the somewhat recent approach taken by nonprofits like the council of community housing organization. its codirector, peter cohen, promotes the development of permanent affordable low income housing. he thinks the solution lies in small site acquisitions. for example, take this building. the hotel in the southpark district was recently purchased by another nonprofit with the sole purpose of making it 100% affordable. >> through acquisition we can take our existing housing in our neighborhoods and stabilize them and keep people in their homes. >> today, in all there are 40 buildings that have been purchased. the problem is that there isn't a steady influx of money to buy and restore them. but recently san francisco announced it had received an unforeseen amount of money from property taxes.

several supervisors are now proposing that a portion of that money be used towards property acquisitions. >> we need to look at all of the possibilities that exist for the purposes of not only preserving existing affordable housing, but generating more. >> reporter: loopholes in the condo laws and owner move-in conversions are partly responsible for the loss of rent-controlled units. on monday the board of supervisors land use committee will discuss whether drastic changes in policy are needed. >> we cannot depend on private developers for this. we need to depend on our own public resources if we want to maintain a balance of diversity here in san francisco. >> reporter: so according to this report, in the past ten years the city has lost on average over 350 rent-controlled units per year. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, "abc 7 news." >> thank you. last night a group of san jose state students slept outdoors on campus to draw attention to homelessness. about 13% of the student

played five-on-five. shot looks good. it is a matter of getting back to the game. >> cal football team getting ready for first bowl in three years. it appears a different squad than the one that coach wilcox inherited. they used to give 40 points per game to anybody and now win games with defense. seven and five record and a bowl berth resulting in a new contract for wilcox with a big raise. running back joked it might have been early for that. >> after two years i thought it was too soon. i want to see what he can do. i think he needs another year of evaluation before we -- >> yeah, stability in the program and recruiting our players, and we have a good thing going. we're -- i say it all the time. we're a work in progress but a lot of positive things happening here. it is great to have the support. > l y'tanute s, tre.

knowr,someeoplnk the solution is just fire everybody, get rid of them all. the man with the most scrutiny on him is defensive coordinator robert sala as the two and ten 49ers are said for the broncos on sunday. the head coach says he is not planning to do anything that drastic. >> when you have a bad year like we have record wise, you know, i know that's what people want, they want drastic change, they want quick answers. if you think the key is those, to get it right and make sure you do the best thing possible to put our team in the best chance possible to win and ha aer this year. as fo thealso two and ten. they play the steelers on sunday. that game was flexed out of sunday night football because the raiders are pretty bad. if you are looking for rebogh starts ek carr has earlier in the season. he is now completing 69% of his passes. he has not thrown an interception in seven games.

jon gruden thinks this is something you can build on. >> this is -- this is a tough league. you know, you're going to be in it for seven or eight years, you're going to have some years where you're going to have to really prove your mental toughness, but we're playing for a lot. we are in a first gear. we're going to keep building, laying the bricks and trying to lay in the foundation for the future of this football team. >> in other words catch us in vegas. evander kane fans with the mr. t fe i pity the fools. sharks starting back-to-back in dallas, first period. it is kane with his eighth of the year. sharks with a 1-0 lead. second period, stars on the break. look at that. matee yas yonmark beating martin jones to tie the game at 1-1. that is where we are after two periods, heading to the third. last night, pretty bizarre for utah jazz centepening tip. he was called for a foul one second into the game. i have never seen that before. less than three minutes later, he was ejected after that foul and that was his reaction.

he slapped the water bottle across the -- oh, man. that's a seven-footer with some -- putting some torque into that. startled the former warriors reporter at court side. kolbert later apologized. he has been somewhat frustrated with officials lately. i think the officials probably are somewhat frustrated with him as well. >> more so now. >> that does not go over well. >> no. >> it doesn't bode well for the future. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight at 9:00 on kofy tv 20, cable channel 713. after just two weeks of storms the sierra is ready. how resorts are using everything they have to get you on the slopes. that's at 9:00. >> on "abc 7 news" at 11:00, santacon is coming to town tomorrow, permit or no. but some businesses say kr kris kringle will not be welcome. coming up on abc 7 at 8:00 fresh off the boat followed by speechless. at 9:00, the victoria's secret fashion show holiday social followed by 20/20 at 10:00 and

"abc 7 news" at 11:00. finally, a few thoughts on what matters. the topic affects us all individually and collectively. all this week on our reporting initiative called building a better bay area we focused on recycling. as with so many things it seems with human behavior, we tend not to focus on problems until they become a crisis. well, with recycling it has. for years much of what we recycled was sent to china as was one-third of europe's recyclable trash. all of it far more than china could ever use or process. the dirty little secret, much of it was not recycled at all but dumped in landfills there. where is the crisis? as we have reported this week, china is drastically cutting back what it will take from us and now recyclers in the bay area and around the country are drowning in materials they can't dispose of. we all have a hand in this. what really matters is that we do more to use less of this

stuff and we retailers do the same. so-called sustainability, the way we handle trash now simply isn't sustainable. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook @danashleyabc 7. >> look for breaking news on the "abc 7 news" app. >> i'm dan ashley. for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us, we appreciate your time. see you again at 9:00 and 11:0
