the neighbors from across the street called to say you lost your house. we've all lost our houses. >> 21 months later, they are just about to move into their new home. >> we made a commitment quite early on that if we could afford to, we wanted to rebuild here. >> but the cost of building a traditional home was too much because so many homes had been destroyed, the cost of materials went up. add to that a demand for contractors and it meant rebuilding was going to be out of the dorman's budget. according to build zoom, a website that connectscontractore not alone. >> there is an uptick in residential and commercial construction particularly in the bay area. >> build zoom says california lost nearly 20% of the construction work force between 2005 and 2016. and more than 40% of construction job postings in the state remained unfilled for at least six weeks.

money. they both require new approaches. you know, people want new ways of doing things better, faster and more meaningfully. so housing needs to attach to transportation so people stop using their cars. today about two-thirds of every trip people take in the bay area is in a single occupant vehicle and it's too much. we agree that that's something we can focus on and make better by having better transportation and housing that's located where people can use it. >> i think jim used the figure about every day about 200,000 people commute here from the central valley because it's too expensive for them to live here. that only adds to the transportation problem. it's linked. thank you very much, jim and all of you, i want you to hear from the panelist. go to our facebook page and send in questions and you'll get terrific and insightful answers. we'll continue for a time but let's go back to you. >> thank you, dan. >> all right. >> the weekend is upon us. >> yes. >> is it going to be hot? >> spencer has that answer for

the housing crisis is upon us but what are the solutions?

we are continuing our efforts to build a better bay

area tonight talking about the housing crisis. >> let's check in with dan ashley. hi, dan? >> hi, ama, larry. we're having the best conversation the last few hours here. a really digging deeply int variety of issues and it's complex. it involves transportation issues, homelessness is critical and a key part of sometimes two separate things, housing and homeless as we discussed today, they are deeply linked. have a great panel of experts if you want to go to the facebook page and ask a question, i'd love to put that question to them. very quickly, let me go ken is the planning director with the association of bay area governments. ken, we've been talking here a bit before we went on the air about trying to learn to think differently because these are critically challenging

more creative and >> it was just touched on that folks who care about housing often times talk about it in terms of numbers. people don't care about numbers if they are in their neighborhood and they care about it. they want to know something new coming into the neighborhood is going to be something that's positive and beneficial and a lot of that gets to the design issues that you can have very nice duplexes or the past may have seen multi housing and that's the model they are familiar with. a different design. >> more palatable. >> much more palatable. >> we're having a spirited and interesting conversation. i hope you join us on facebook, youtube and our website, as well. love to hear from you and i love the chance to ask our experts one of your questions. so when you can, go to facebook

right now the conversation will continue here, thank you-all. ama, larry back to you. >> thank you, dan. many of you are responding to our stories about the housing crisis. 7 on your side michael finney is taking questions all day and will continue to over the weekend. >> yeah, here is some of the viewer questions. let get to the first one from patricia and she asked is it a good idea to refinance and pull money out to remodel? >> look, depends what your interest rate is right today. what are you paying? if you have a lower rate now than you can get in refinancing, you should probably think twice about doing it. i'd rather you look at a home equity line of credit. now if you can get a lower interest rate, then it may be a great deal for you. you may be able to pull out the money needed for the remodel and payless each month. current rates in the for a jumbo refinance are 3.5 to

4%. >> robert wants to know can my landlord keep part of my security deposit for normal wear and tear? >> no, she cannot. california law is very clear on this. a landlord may not charge for normal wear and tear. only for items that are broken or need cleaning. te landlord has 21 days to return your deposit in full. if your landlord wants to keep any of that money, they must give you an itemized list of every single repair and every cleaning that they did along with the receipt for the work. now if it is a minimal amount under $125, they don't have to provide receipts but if you disagree, take your landlord to small claims court. people are very successful in this. >> the story we ran last night or the night before about a woman living a closet. >> yeah. >> that story is unbelievable but she asks how is this legal? closets are not living spaces. >> yeah, that's a great question. look, by law, any space can be

used as a bedroom, but it has to meet certain standards. first, it must have at least 70 square feet of space. it must also have a window to the outdoors, often the high windows aren't legal. it's got to be something you can get through and a door leading out of the room is also a necessity. there are also several safety standards for electrical and ventilation and then let me explain this to you. this is interesting. california has a two plus one occupancy limit in housing. okay. what that means is it generally allows two unrelated people per bedroom plus one more person in each unit. so what you get because we're renting outhouses now to so many different people, let's say it's three bedrooms. you can get six, seven unrelated people are allowed to live there. >> wow. >> okay. >> do you get that? >> yes. >> so that's how it works. it used to be much tighter the

rules years and years ago. >> but a closet should be a no go legally. >> well, if you have the outdoor window and 70 square feet, that's the basic -- >> okay. >> it has to have the outdoor window. >> there was that window. i remember seeing that. >> okay. all right. thank you, michael. >> yeah. >> okay. moving on to weather for the weekend. >> yes. the heat spencer christian. >> well, bringing on the heat. the warmup has begun already. right now you can see on the 24-hour temperature change that most inland locations are several degrees warmer. on we go to overnight conditions. we'll see a little fog at the coast pushing overnight lows upper 50s to low 60s and now we bring on the heat. not too bad. inland areas tomorrow will warm up to low to mid-90s and that's nearly all of the inland areas except in the south bay only place to break 90 would be morgan hill. on sunday, pretty much the same picture, mid to upper 90s in the warmest inland spots. similar range of highs on monday

but some locations will start to cool down on monday and we got general cooling across the entire region on tuesday. so here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. we'll get through three days, saturday, sunday, monday of mid-90s or maybe higher inland and 80 around the bay and cooling begins tuesda and the remainder of next week, temperatures dropping below average for this time of the year. a little warmup above average, a little cooldown below average. >> all right. >> that's the way i roll. >> thanks, spencer. >> below average. >> and above. it everyons out. [ laughter ] >> i'll take my shot if i get a chance. >> of course. >> is sports, this was fun today. this is a milestone in the chase center construction project. the arena is almost done and we have the exclusive when they got have the exclusive when they got the key to wit looks like jill heading offe on an adventure. jill has entresto, a heart failure medicine

that helps her heart so she can keep on doing what she loves. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. it helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto, for heart failure. where to next? entrust your heart to entresto.

the construction crew is putting the finishes touches. today team president rick weltz was given the key to the castle and i happened to be there for the exclusive opening. this is the key to the chase center. >> today you can take a picture of that and create one with a 3 d printer probably. i have to take it away now. what does it mean to you? >> it should be fancier. should be something more exciting. here we are in the plaza.
