businesses and we'll see this more. what's happened since? >> macys.com laid off workers in san francisco and said they would continue growth in other cities. if we don't improve street conditions in san francisco, improve the environment for people do business or live in san francisco, we're going to see more business opportunities leave the city. one of the reasons the chamber of commerce did a poll around street conditions and homelessness, it's not usual topic for them, taxes or job growth, but because the issue has gotten so bad it's had a real impact on all of our businesses regarding size. >> lauren martinez, abc7 news. the lack of affordable housing has been a big part of our building a better bay area coverage. in the north bay, officials are putting together a plan to deal with dozens of anchor outs, people living on boats in the middle of richardson bay. neighbors in belvedere and other
