fall. the incidents triggered a community rally for change, but merchants i spoke with say they have seen no improvement since, despite the sfpd increasing patrols, so they're taking matters into their own hands. >> police need to police people. if there's no people here to police, of course they're going to go somewhere elsewhere there's more action. >> reporter: for the past six months, steven lee, a business owner and entertainment commissioner for san francisco has been working with the sfmta, san francisco recs and park and the garage to lower evening time parking rates to draw in business and get the city to step up safety efforts. >> this will hopefully boost our nighttime economy. >> reporter: from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. used to cost $36. now it's just $8. spent $40 or more at participating merchants and the rate goes down to $3.

here they hept clear locks and provide assistance. fema earned a reputation as a hero. >> now they're a zero. >> reporter: and all because of money that california wildfire victims from butte county, sonoma county and paradise might have to pay. the federal emergency management agency has been in a legal fight for pg&e for $3.9 billion in restitution. if pg&e does not settle, fema is now warning that it might have to go after some fire victims for money from their fire insurance settlements. attorneys for fire victims are furious. >> this is enormously frustrating. these folks have waited well over two years to get paid whole by pg&e. they're on the cusp of getting made whole after all this time and fema comes in and tries to blow it up. >> reporter: fema spent today in clarification mode saying blame pg&e. the agency would only be looking to recoup about $100 million in funds that duplicated insurance payments and then only if pg&e

did not reach a settlement with fema for damage from the fire. >> we want to make sure survivors get everything they can from pg&e, but at the same time taxpayers can't have provided assistance once and pg&e provide those same individuals with the same expenses. >> reporter: and that is the rub. fema seeks restitution because it says pg&e was at fault, but so far the utility has yet to pay. fema insists that seeking repayment from victims would be a last, worst case resort. for now they are still perceived as being the bad guy. >> it almost feels like a bait and switch. >> what should happen is fema should obtain reimbursement from pg&e after pg&e settles with the wildfire survivors. >> reporter: sound complicated? it's complicated. as for pg&e, a statement today. it reads in part, fema does not have a valid legal claim against the company. the bankruptcy court has approved our settlement agreements resolving all major

wildfire claims. in short, if you're a wildfire survivor who received monthly -- who received money from pg&e or from fema, save your receipts. somewhere down the road, we don't know when or if, but you might need to produce them. live in fountain grove, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. >> hang on to them to be safe. wayne, thanks very much. b.a.r.t. is following through on a promise made to passengers and it starts taking effect tonight. >> you'll hear from b.a.r.t. about the difference an extra dozen police officers will make. one of the suspects accused of a deadly laptop theft speaks out for the first time about the crime which has him behind bars awaiting trial. i'm spencer christian. there's rain on the way follo

on a storm impact scale, producing scattered light showers, less than 0.2 of an inch of rain expected in most areas. it will be breezy in the hills. here's our forecast animation. notice the rain will spread, light rain, very quickly across the north bay during the evening hours. won't start to push down through san francisco and the peninsula and east bay until right around midnight and then sweep down to the south bay. as the morning commute is getting under way, there will be not much rain falling but roadways could be wet so it may slow down the morning commute. there won't be much left to the storm in the afternoon hours except spotty drizzle here and there. lows tonight mainly mid-40s. upper 30s and low 40s especially up in the north bay. tomorrow look for high temperatures not very high at all in a very narrow range, about 54 to 56 degrees across the entire region. it will be breezy at the coast.

the next storm comes in on wednesday into thursday, late wednesday into thursday. it ranks 2 on the storm impact scale. it will bring moderate to heavy rainfall. and maybe even a dusting of snow in the higher peaks. forecast animation starting at 5:00 p.m. wednesday shows the storm advances in quickly wednesday night into early thursday morning. there is going to be probably a period of heavy and steady sweeping rain. the storm won't start to wind down until thursday evening. so it will be the most vigorous storm we've had in quite a while. here's the seven-day forecast. after that level 2 storm on thursday, we expect partial clearing on friday, fog giving way to mainly sunny skies friday afternoon. light rain on saturday and it does not look like that rain will spill over into sunday, big nfc championship game. niners and packers. >> thanks, spencer. >> on that subject, it kind of
