case of astrazeneca, the type of envelope it uses and the exact way that protein, the dna information is delivered. >> reporter: both doctors agreed based on the u.s. data the vaccine is effective. in san francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. more than 14 billion vaccines have been administered across california so far antedated the state hit a record number of doses going to wealthier communities despite efforts to prioritize vulnerable appellations. abc7 news reporter, stephanie sierra is digging into why. >> we are not going to back off. >> reporter: the governor admits when it comes to vaccine equity, california has work to do. abc7's vaccine tracker shows more than 14 million vaccines have been administered statewide today. yet new data shows around 57% of those doses went to wealthy communities across california. that is a new record for the state, around 43% which went to

research shows it is more about the lack of planning. >> the state has been slow to prioritize. >> reporter: it has been only about two weeks since the state started dedicating doses to vulnerable communities. experts argue that should've happened several months ago. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. in the south bay, santa clara county is starting to reschedule vaccine appointments for kaiser patients who got bumped because of low supply. kaiser blames the county for mismanaging its vaccine allocation and even plans to file a federal complaint, accusing the county of violating cdc roles. the county says that is not true. while the back-and-forth plays out, more than 7500 kaiser members were left in limbo but now they are being confirmed for their second shot. >> a weight was lifted off my shoulders. one less thing to stress about. that is nice considering we are going back to school soon.

building a better bay area for a safe and secure future. , this is as we begin to move past the pandemic, what is the path forward? it's a question we are focused on because the answer could help us build a better bay area. >> in san francisco, downtown businesses are preparing for what is next as the city prepares to end her a less restrictive tier. >> abc7 news insider, matier has been asking what is the path forward and he is here with us life. >> that's right. dan, for decades, san francisco has been seen as the heart of the bay area and the polls the pulse through the streets of downtown indicates what is going on throughout the reason but regularly the heartbeat is

-- the city have 5 million square feet of empty office space. today, it has nearly 14 million square feet of vacant office space across the city. that is equivalent roughly to 10 empty sales fourth's salesforce towers. how do offices reopen? will people want to come back? that is where we took to the streets to find out. >> reporter: any day of the week in downtown san francisco. it pretty much feels like a sunday morning. for more than a year, downtown san francisco has been a ghost town. high rises mostly empty, inside, many buildings, time stands still. nothing touched or moved in more than a year. it is as if those people just vanished into thin air. this last year, walking along the streets, it would be packed with workers heading into these high-rises. so right now, how filled up are they? >> it's going to depend on your office but right now we are

seeing around the city probably 10 to 15% occupied. >> reporter: only 10 to 15% in other wordss only 1 to 2 out of 10 floors is filled? >> a general statement. it is going to very per building and industry. >> reporter: do you think they will start coming back? >> we think people are excited to come back. >> reporter: been in contact with the people who run these buildings. he is with the san francisco building and office managers association. he says downtown faced challenges before the pandemic like traffic, crowded trains and ferries and the homeless on the streets. what are the chances the pandemic on top of that, let's just say it, kills the downtown? it >> they are real issues we are facing and you are right. there is always going to be that issue of homelessness and safety and mass transit and that all plays a part in the

mentality and psyche of people coming downtown. what we are focused on right now is making sure our buildings are healthy, safe when people are ready to come back in and they are. they have been since the summer and fall and they will be ready once the city opens up and people start coming back to the office. some of the other issues around homelessness and safety and crime, absolutely, they need to be addressed. everybody needs to feel safe and comfortable in this environment downtown and i think that is something we will have to look to continue to consider to find solutions. >> reporter: brian says tenants still bill just building owners they miss offices but it won't look the same when they return. what is the post pandemic office look like? >> people need more space. that is a departure from what we have seen over the past decade or so when people had open office plant and everybody would find a desk and that is where they would work. people are going to require even though coming into the office, in a reduced capacity,

we will need continually increasing office space to space people appropriately. that is something tenants are looking at and employees are asking for. look around, hardly anyone has been in the offices. >> reporter: the office on montgomery street has been empty since last march. things were left weather workers left them. >> usually this place would be filled with lenders and consultants working to and sure businesses get back on their feet. >> reporter: a lot of businesses are looking to back on their feet. how many people do you have on staff on a given day? we are growing. in spite of and because of covid, a lot of small businesses need support but usually about 18 people in the office. i will walk you to one of our rooms here. as you can tell, we left without knowing they were not going to come back in a year. we have sweaters on the table, soes under the table, folks

were ready to come back and they haven't been for about a year. >> reporter: many downtown offices are small like this one. that means spreading people that will mean some people actually have to work at home. we have grown staff to down 20. of those 20, five of them are permanently out of the bay area. >> reporter: you have had five leave the bay area? >> yes. >> reporter: that leaves you with about 15, right? how many will come in on a given day? how is the big be? >> we can put 18 in here comfortably. >> reporter: why not? >> folks will not feel comfortable sitting as closely. >> reporter: so even if they are vaccinated? >> we don't think so. month by month, things are changing but we think we want to give our staff the opportunity to have the comfort that if they come in they are not feeling 100%, they don't have to be in as enclosed a space. you will notice we don't have any windows that open.

>> reporter: that is true of many of the downtown offices. look at the sales fourth -- salesforce tower. the largest office building. how are you circulating air? >> the modern buildings have such high tech air systems they bring in 100% fresh air from the outside and condition it, filter it, condition it with cooling and heating and deliver it out to the tenant's offices. >> reporter: the air eventually makes its way out the top of the tower. >> what are these things? >> these are hepa filters. we put these in the lobby in the event there gets to be to be line coming out of the elevator lobby. these things will circulate and filter the air. >> reporter: how many people does this building hold? >> more than several thousand. 7000 to 10,000 people. >> reporter: how many people can get on an elevator at one time?

2 right now, four. >> reporter: how are you going to get 7000 people in and out or even 5000 or 3000 without the line going out the door and down the block? >> we have a lot of elevators. we have 34 elevators here. >> reporter: not every building has that many elevators or go that fast so people getting in and out of high-rises will mean serious coordination. the high-rises down here are betting on the fact there will only be about one quarter capacity at the gate? then they will fill up? >> that is the idea and an expectations buildings will stagger start and finish time so they will stagger elevator traffic so not everyone showing up at 8:00 or 9:00. they will put them in 30 minute buckets and put them in a period of a couple of hours in the same thing on the way out, staggering them among the way out so they are not all in the lobby at the same time.

>> reporter: it is not just going to be staggering the hours and people coming in and leaving work. it could be days, staggered days, let's say you come in for two or three days a week and one person comes in for two days and another person comes in for three days and next week you flip it around. it is going to be a very choreographed ballet to get these buildings up and running. and it's not just getting in and out of work. remember, if you're working two or three days a week, that once was a long commute might not be so long this time so the question is what are the dominoes on this as far as mass transit where people live and where they spend their dollars in the city or choose to spend them elsewhere. >> and phil, still unanswered, and it sounds like it needs to be choreographed and precise but the question many are asking is do employees want to go back to their offices? you saw safety precautions. we have been hearing companies saying working from home could

be permanent. >> a number of them have said this is expected to be a new way of doing business. it is not just whether you wawh to. whether you can. let's say your kids are doing distance learning at home. you need to be there. you can't necessarily go into the office but yes, employees, at least some, want to come back to the office. they miss camaraderie and energy transfer and some of the employers are missing productivity that comes from face-to-face time and not to mention the after our happy hour events and socializing. so most people are likely to go back then we will go to the one that have to. >> two different groups. let's talk a little bit more about all of this empty office space, thousands and thousands of unoccupied space at the moment and you mentioned the equivalent of 10 salesforce towers. what about all that space? >> we have been a boom/bust town. we had a lot of offices in the.

--.com era. you will need more room to spread out. that is a good sign for the market but then there is the possibility this could be the moment to bring maybe housing into some of these offices, say, okay we will have a certain amount for office and housing in the financial center. so businesses are not at the necessarily the mercy of one type of clientele. so we are going to see what happens and also, in the back of everyone's mind is also what happens if something else happens? let's say of the another pandemic or something like that? a lot to consider. phil, thanks very much. our abc7 insider will look at the issues plaguing downtown all this week. tomorrow, phil finds out what happens when all of those people who filled those office buildings vanish? we will take a close look at the impact of san francisco's shutdown on surrounding businesses.

in san mateo county, the board of supervisors is about to consider makes a statement against anti- asian hate crimes. asians make about 30% of the population in san mateo county. as abc7 news reporter, wayne freedman explains, the question is how to ask and force it. >> reporter: a natural progression. what began as hate crimes and attacks have led to a agenda now outrage and now a movement. now lawmakers are getting involved. >> no more. we are not going to tolerate it. >> reporter: that from san miguel board of supervisors president, david canada, pushing legislation contending contending condemning hate crimes. >> right now it is important.

there are people who have been subjugated to violence because of how they look. >> reporter: anti-asian hate crime resolution would resonate but putting keith and it will be the test. begin with the fact that the supervisors proposal only to asians. to enforce such a law it might need to be broader. >> if i tried to create a standard new law that applied only to asian americans and pacific islanders, that would be a tactic of singling out a particular race and that is unconstitutional. >> reporter: that is district attorney, steve white staff who is thinking beyond the county hoping to draft a state law against hate crimes but he faces a higher burden of proof. >> the perpetrator his mind? that is where cases hit the

wall. >> reporter: and asking states to increase penalties when charges and enforcement have gone the other direction. >> this is a mountain to climb. >> reporter: but with all the present sentiment, there could be some downhill momentum. in san mateo county,
