yet. >> if anybody were to take legal action it would have to be this week. of course unlikely. but more realistic is of course the following week in the meantime the city attorney says he's confident the fight is over. >> this navigation center is set to open in mid-december. crews were putting in the finishing touches to begin housing about 200 homeless people. that's unless neighbors opposed to the center can pull off an eleventh hour stay. >> the steps that could be taken could be taken quickly. again it's not over until it's over. it's not over. we could move for new trial or appeal. >> the group has tried to stop the construction in the court. all attempts have failed including yesterday. when a judge ruled that the city can do what it wants with the project without state over sight. this piece of land was given to the city by the state.

a condo complex in water front. the prime real estate in san francisco. and woke up and found out the city was going to put this navigation center. this huge tent going to host 200 homeless people. in a parking lot that's owned by the port right next door to their homes. we're not talking two blocks away. this is right in the heart of san francisco. >> i was shocked. i was driving along a few weeks ago and saw the big tent. you're looking around and it is all high priced condos and apartments. you can understand why people in that neighborhood would be concerned. certainly for a number of different reasons. >> this came out of politics and policy. the policy in san francisco is we'll start the navigation centers. we started them a few years ago and they'll grow. the goal is have 1,000 beds up and running next year. they have to go somewhere. every district was supposed to come up with a sight. nobody else did.

property value. whether it's this or affordable housing going in. this one is only going to be there for a couple years. there is a time limit on it. that's one thing. the second thing this is what will get interesting. mayor now owns this. this is not something tucked away in a remote part. this is in the heart of the water front. we're watching this. residents will be watching. the entire nation will be watching this to see if it works. if it does, there's a step towards possible solution you can say it worked here. maybe we can do it elsewhere. if there's problems that's a different narrative. >> one thing for sure, everybody will be watching this. >> that's right. and commenting. >> thank you. we want to hear your ideas about building a better bay area. share them join our
