others to take on issues such as policies about immigration. he was not afraid to talk about race. he said illegal borr crossings should not be criminalized. yet he failed to gain traction. perhaps he couldn't quite convince voters that he was a person who could defeat president trump. julian castro visited the bay area four times. last may he told abc 7 news as a progressive, he was the person who can beat president trump. >> i represent a new generation of leadership with a bold, ambitious plan for our united states to be the smartest, healthiest, fairest and most prosperous nation on earth. >> reporter: during a forum in november we asked how he would deal with the family separation issue regarding undocumented immigrants. but eventually it became apparent to many that he was an unwinnable candidate and couldn't deliver the hispanic

vote. bernie sanders seen here campaigning of fresno city college two months ago seemed more appealing to latinos. in fact, a poll commissioned by the latino community foundation in november found that 31% of latino voters in california supported sanders followed by joe biden and elizabeth warren. but only 9% were behind castro. >> what happened to castro is that hispanic latino voters looked at him and said i'm not sure you can win, so i'm going to throw my support behind somebody that i think can win. >> i'm fulfilling the legacy of barack obama and you're not. >> reporter: many believe his confrontation with biden suggesting he was forgetting things cost castro support. >> when he went after biden that day, i think everybody sat down and said, well, he's mean. >> reporter: castro never apologized, instead saying i wouldn't do it differently. depending on who you ask, it seems elizabeth warren and cory booker have the most to gain

of the most moved from. >> new jersey was second: united van lines conducted the survey saying 57% of all moves being outbound. that contrasts with nearby states like oregon, washington and arizona that are seeing more people moving in than leaving. >> now the question is where are all these people going. >> dion lim found a place growing rapidly that may surprise you. >> reporter: coming to you live tonight from the kgo rooftop. take a look around me. with views like this, how could you ever leave the bay area? apparently there are a lot of reasons. listen to this. in a new study, about 7,200 californians in a five-year span moved to boise, idaho. there's a lot more to offer in boise than just potatoes. the state motto of idaho means let it be perpetual in latin, important now for the perpetual stream of californians flocking

to the street including this former bay area resident. >> i remember there being a wave in the late '90s and then again around the time that i moved here in the early 2000s. this wave feels more significant than it has previously. >> seems like the state, known for its spuds is now a hot potatoes. forbes reports boise as the fastest growing metro area in the u.s. >> i grew up in southern california. i actually picked up and moved all the way to boise, idaho. people ask me how it was. and i love it. >> reporter: kayla moved to boise for her job at black box vr based in idaho. after moving back to start up san francisco's location, she gets why so many people from the bay area want to relocate. >> the way of life is so much easier. >> 33 minutes is the average one-way commute for someone who works in san francisco. of course it's much longer for many of us.

in boise it's just 17 minutes. that commute will cost you as well. the average gas price in san francisco $3.63 a gallon. over in boise, it's just $2.59. of course, housing is also a lot less expensive in boise and just about everywhere else in the world. the median price for a home in san francisco $1.3 million. in boise, the median sales just $332,000. >> whatever the reason, they move here. the family comes to visit and slowly you start to see the rest of that family moving. >> i would take any chance to go back to boise just for a little bit. >> reporter: back out here live, i did a very scientific poll on my twitter asking people would they consider moving the boise, idaho, on just the cost of living alone. a whopping 46% of you said heck, yeah. in san francisco, dion lim, abc

7 news. randy wrenchler with the metropolitan transportation commission is here. how concerned should we be about this growing trend? >> the bay area has stood alone. our job growth has been strong, population continues to increase. we've put on like 700,000 new jobs in the last ten years. in the bay area we're in a different space than that. sure los angeles lost 10,000 in residents. the bay area picked up 35,000 residences in the last year. part of it is the job story. >> how about san francisco specifically? >> san francisco as well has picked up more people over the last year than 2700 new people. again, the jobs are focused both on san francisco and along the peninsula in silicon valley. that's what's driving the bay area economy. that's what's driving some of the frustrations of people here, housing prices, homelessness, can't get a seat on the bar, on the freeway. all these things is symptoms

compared to the rest of the country we're having an incredible amount of economic success. >> you used the phrase before we went on that we're choking on our success. >> we kind of are. >> can you expand on that? >> as we grow and our jobs grow, we need more housing in the bay area. people are concerned. will my schools be crowded? will there be space on the roads? we also want a strong economy. we don't want to turn into an empty industrial city that learned it had a problem after it had a problem and couldn't adjust to do anything about it. when you hear things about tech jobs leaving. charles schwab leaving. will the economy remain strong? is there going to be a place here for my kids to work? as far as this story about moving, the bay area is in a unique space compared to other places. >> you say we're kind of the outlier within the state of california. >> there is job growth in california but not like we're seeing in the bay area, broth on high tech jobs, high income jobs.

the bay area is providing a significant disproportionate amount of the state's tax revenue in part because the revenues are so high. companies are successful and people are being paid way more. >> interesting. i have a lot of friends who have lived in the bay area for years. i haer the same sentiment, too crowded, getting too expensive. it feels like we're at a tipping point, like maybe this is not the place to be anymore. do you hear? >> we do. it's an evergreen story. that story was current in 1970, 1980. people are looking for a sense of what it was like. what is the same is this continued economic growth that we've had in the bay area since really the 1940s. but i do think the intensity of that growth, what are we going to do about moving people, how can we deal with congestion, with housing, i think those are real issues. >> only have a few seconds left. i know some people will look at this and say, well, if everybody is leaving, maybe housing prices will finally start to come down. do you see that in the forecast?

>> we're so far behind. maybe they'll stop rising. but the state's building and providing housing for the workforce that's already here, it's so far behind, it will take a huge effort before we see a relief on that front. >> so it's not super promising if you think there's going to be a huge dip in the cost of housing. places like detroit, michigan, would say bless you for the problems you have here. >> yeah, detroit you can get a house for almost nothing. >> yeah, you bi bill. >> we want to hear your ideas

trumpand total disaster.mplete let obamacare implode. nurse: these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. i've been a nurse in new york for thirty years. i know the difference leadership can make because i saw what mike bloomberg did as mayor. vo: mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40%, covering 700,000 more new yorkers, life expectancy increased. he helped expand health coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care--- infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. and as mayor, mike bloomberg always championed reproductive health for women. so when you hear mike bloomberg on health care... mrb: this is america. we can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. nurse: you should know, he did it as mayor,

he'll get it done as president. mrb: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. we mentioned earlier, buying a cup of coffee will bcost you moe if you don't bring your own cup. as of the first of the year, customers will be charged 25 cents if they buy coffee of tea wi using a disposable cup, part of a move to get customers to bring their own cups to reduce the use of plastics and help the environment. among those lines, you shamed me into bringing a cup, and my sister bought this for me, we'll get a close up in a second. show knows me very well. ama could have purchased this. >> we all could have purchased it. >> you'll have a whole

collction. we've known you for a long time. >> this will be perfect. >> what's interesting about that is the businesses keep to keep that 25 cents. they hope you don't have your own cup, they'd rather sell you one. >> i think it's a good thing for the environment. it's kind of like the plastic bag deal. you go to safe way. they're keeping the ten cents. they're not going out and cleaning the environment. >> you feel so guilty when you forget to bring the bags. safeway is disappointed. >> they get to sell you bags. 2020 is already looking like a good year for lucky restaurant workers thanks to a new trend. a server at a small town restaurant in michigan says she got a $2,020 tip on a bill that was only $23. her customers said they were taking part in the 2020 tip challenge. celebrities are getting in on the trend as well. actor donnie wahlberg did the same at ihop in st. charles,

illinois. >> i'm in the wrong line of business. i need to learn to serve tables. >> could be in your future. >> management has its way. >> if this segment continues the way it's been going. i could see $20, but i don't know about $2,000. >> if you're a celebrity, you've got the money. >> imagine what a sweet thing. >> that's awesome. >> those folks work awfully hard. >> it could make a huge difference. for donnie wahlberg, he's not going to notice $2,000. but for a waitress. >> not making a lot. relying on tips. an awesome trend for 2020. >> a way to start your new year, $2,000 and a ceramic mug. the golden globes are going meatless. guests will be served a 100% plant-based meal ahead of the 77th annual award show. the hollywood foreign press association wants this move to raise environmental awareness about food consumption and

video shows the first evidence of tool use by a sea bird. motion activated cameras in july 2018 caught the moment a puffin picked up a stick and used it to scratch its chest. experts guess the bird may have been trying to dislodge a tick with this action. second incident of the use of a tool was also found in wales. next time you call somebody a bird brain. >> maybe a compliment. >> 100 million years they'll be using a chainsaw. >> let's hope we're around. i don't know. we have the video. maybe they've been doing this all along. >> that's true. >> some other animal that uses a stick in the anti hill and puts it in to pul ants out. uses a tool -- >> our producer is saying crows use sticks as well. >> birds. birds got it going.
