team. >> you are watching abc7 news at 6:00, live on abc7, hulu live, and wherever you stream. the abc7 news i-team has spent weeks analyzing census bureau and federal housing records exposing racial inequities when it comes to getting a home loan approved. stephanie sierra takes you to neighborhoods across the bay area tonight were the problem continues and really gets worse. >> reporter: we have been digging into data and found 62% of white families on their home, whereas for black families, that percentage is nearly cut in half. as we found out, certain pockets have it even worse. buying a home in the bay area is tough. it's not just sky high prices, but the odds of actually qualifying for a loan. do you own your home? >> no, i don't. i wish i did. >> reporter: he tried to purchase a home like this one

off 24th street in san francisco's mission district 10 years ago, but got denied from his lender. >> reporter: how many times have you tried to apply? >> at least three times. >> reporter: and you are denied? >> each time. >> reporter: history does not stop there. property record shows the household. the catch, he says it sold to one of his best friends. >> he is a gardener and i used to do a job just about the same as he did. he had his savings, i've got my savings. >> reporter: he says at the time, he and his friend bill both had good reason to buy the house. it was not only close to work, but they were sold on the neighborhood charm. at the time he thought he had a real shot. he says they had the same job, same down payment, same credit score. they even lived in the same area. he believes the crucial difference, known as is latino, his friend is white.

>> the level of work was the same and his was approved and i wasn't. >> reporter: data analysis found in his zip code, 94110, san francisco's mission district, the heart of the latino cultural district, far less than half of latino families on their home compared to white families. that same trend, seen across the bay area. we analyze data for both the san francisco and san jose metro areas and found 62% of white households actually on their home. around 60% for asian households. for latino households it is around 40% and the percentage for black households is the lowest, with only around 33%. >> the problem for homeownership for all californians has gotten worse, but especially for people of color. mckee is president and ceo of the california building industry association. he says homeownership for black families in the bay area and across the state is lower than

in the 1960s during the civil rights movement. >> while it is not surprising, it is depressing. >> reporter: she always dreamed of owning a home in the bay area. now she rents in a subsidized housing development in san francisco. she is an aspiring therapist, but fierce if she follows her dream, it may force her out. >> once i start working and making good money, so much so that it is not affordable for me to live in subsidized housing. to have a native of san francisco move out because i can't afford where i live anymore? >> reporter: not to mention the odds of getting approved for a loan are not in her favor. according to data, 70% of white families were approved for home loans in the san francisco metro area, whereas only 59% of home loans were approved for black families. >> it is discouraging. >> reporter: discouraging for her, and still, trying not to

give up hope. >> i just wish thople would have the same opportunities in life. all races. >> reporter: part of these issues stem from the lack of affordable housing available across the state, especially in the bay area, and now it is becoming more challenging. tomorrow night we take a closer look at why housing production has dropped significantly in the last two years. with the i-team, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> this is so eye-opening. i am glad you are bringing this to light. which bay area counties did you find have the biggest discrepancies? >> reporter: it's interesting, we did spend a lot of time looking at which areas had the highest disparities for white versus nonwhite loan approvals and napa and sonoma counties both have the largest gap with an 8% difference whereas san francisco and contra costa county both have a 5% difference, which we did find to be somewhat comparable to other california counties in terms of population size.

for example, l.a. county reported a 3% difference and san diego is not far off either. >> interesting. thank you. after years of fighting to build more housing in san francisco, the city now has a minimum number of units it must build. 82,000 over the next 10 years. it is not up for debate. what is will be the where and how this is accomplished. lyanne melendez has the story, because it is part of building a better bay area. >> reporter: for many years, areas of been in dire need of housing, but there has been resistance to build. but the state has finally said it is time to solve our housing crisis. >> to beverly hills to fresno california, cities are being told that it is time to build your share of affordable housing and you are no longer allowed to say no. >> reporter: san francisco's

goal is to build 82,000 units in the next 10 years in order to keep up with job and population growth. that will mean places zoned for single-family homes could now be open to multi family structures. the planning department has until the end of 2022 to come up with a new plan that involves the public. >> we can think about some of the single-family homes. now we have multigenerational families, now we have a young couple, they would love units added to the parcel. >> reporter: the mid-sunset neighborhood association says it would like the city to improve the local infrastructure before adding more units. >> you are proposing adding another 300 to 400 residents to this neighborhood who will also be dependent on the same public transportation. >> reporter: the public has until tomorrow to weigh in, when public comment ends. housing advocates say building more units would help address more than just the homeless crisis. >> we want to build not only to combat homelessness, but we want to build enough housing to

bring down the rate of increase of rent. >> the housing crisis is started to affect middle-class, more historically speaking privileged people. unfortunately we do live in a society where it takes those people being affected for something for the majority of people to believe there is a problem in the first place. >> reporter: in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. new video shows the frightening moments when a woman is attacked, robbed, and carjacked in an emeryville bay street parking garage. as dion lim explains, this is not the first incident of its kind to happen in the area and it is a story you will see only on 7. >> reporter: that terrifying, high-pitched scream is coming from a woman who does not want to be identified after she and her friend were brazenly attacked and carjacked at the bay street mall parking garage monday afternoon. >> they were kicking and punching me. >> reporter: you thought you were going to be kidnapped. >> i just had in my mind that

it was a robbery. >> reporter: the woman visiting from out of state had intended to return a pair of jeans with her friend, but as soon as they parked -- >> two guys went toward me. it was so fast. i felt like i closed my eyes and opened it and the car was gone. everything was gone. >> reporter: what was left, two black eyes and both women bruised and shaken, but lucky to be alive. >> very lucky. >> reporter: emeryville police provided me recent statistics. since may, there have been at least three robbery and carjacking victims in the bay street parking garage. there were also a number of armed thefts at various stores. >> if it happened multiple times, the mall, the area should do more to make sure people feel secure and safe when they go shopping. >> reporter: i reached out to bay street's property manager and did not receive a response back in time for deadline. this woman just hopes by speaking out she can help catch her perpetrators in her words will serve as a warning.

>> i think this could happen to anyone. if it was not us, you know, it is someone else. >> reporter: and a thank you to the couple who wanted to stay anonymous, but recorded this video and stayed with her until police arrived. >> they were very reassuring. i really appreciate that they were there. >> reporter: in emeryville, dion lim, abc7 news. now to developing news. pleasanton police and the alameda county sheriff's office pulled out of their active search for the missing berkeley man in the east bay foothills, but that does not mean the community is giving up. philip kreycik went running saturday and has not been seen since. dustin dorsey explains how hope is continuing the search effort. >> reporter: foothill high school has been the command post for the search for 37-year- old philip kreycik all week long. six days following his disappearance, law enforcement and fire crews have cleared, but volunteers remain. kreycik's family visited with them today after they shared an emotional plea to keep looking for their loved one

with abc7 news yesterday. >> i know in my heart of hearts that he is out there and alive, waiting for us. >> reporter: among the group of volunteers looking to bring the family piece was a group of kreycik's coworkers from pg&e. with the pandemic they only had limited interactions with him in person, but they are not turning their back on their missing teammate. >> he was always a joy to work with and extremely knowledgeable in his field and i think i speak for our entire team when i say we m e tove wor >> he has been part of our team for about nine months and i know if it was anyone of us, he would be here, doing the same thing, so i just feel very strongly that we are one team and we look out for one another. >> reporter: after receiving their assignment, the team went into the east bay hills to search for their friend, calling his name, hoping for any kind of response or sign. the group searched the area behind me around the elementary school for their lost coworker. they want to do anything they

can to help kreycik's family, because they all have not lost hope. >> you have to have hope, if you don't have hope, what else is there? >> that is why we are here and hopefully this is wrapped up as soon as possible, but i want to help however i can to try to bring him home. >> reporter: the family is still asking for the communities help. they believe kreycik may be on someone's personal property near the park, since a thorough search of the park is not located in. in the east bay, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> philip kreycik's wife spoke only to abc7 news about what the past week has been like. the story is on our website on abc7news.com and on the abc7 bay area app, wherever you stream. starting sunday in los angeles county, people will be required to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination steps. officials recommended indoor

masking for all last month, but announced this afternoon it is now a mandate. you have to do it. it comes amid a sharp rise in coven cases in the county and the threat of the delta variant. almost all people hospitalized for covid in the county are unvaccinated. the mandate is expected to stay in place until the numbers improve. today we also heard that sacramento, yolo, and fresno counties are recommending people resume wearing masks, but are not yet requiring it. in the bay area, alameda and marin county health officer say they are considering recommending masks indoors for everyone. san mateo county tells us it is considering changes to its guidance. six other health departments we reached out to tell us they plan to stick with state guidelines, which do not require indoor masks for vaccinated people. the university of california announced today that it will require all students, faculty, and staff to have the covid-19 vexing before the fall term begins. it is the largest public university system in the country to mandate vaccinations. anyone unvaccinated and without

an approved exemption will be barred from uc campuses. getting more people vaccinated is crucial dividing the pandemic. the bay area's biggest county is targeting teens using something they are very familiar with, texting. as the

to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means asking for what we want, and need... and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems

or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. avneor worsening sympto, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. let's turn now to the ongoing effort to build a better bay area. coronavirus positivity continues to climb. yesterday was 3%.

so far, 52% of our entire state population is fully vaccinated, more than 20 million people. but they want more people vaccinated, so what is the best way to coax young people to get the vaccine? the answer appears to be text messages and a popular app. david louie shows you how e hea clara has created a multichannel strategy and a weekly raffle ended its 166,000 teenagers. >> reporter: an all-out effort is underway to get 12 to 17- year-olds vaccinated. getting them to turn out to clinics like this one requires a strategy. >> they are still the lowest group in terms of age groups to get vaccinated, so we have to continue to push them to get vaccinated at this point. >> reporter: that strategy is a multichannel digital campaign involving their smart phones, plus instagram in particular, which county health officials have found is the most effective. each wednesday they hold a raffle for big-name concert

tickets for those who get their shots. >> if they have already been vaccinated, if they bring a friend or someone who has not been vaccinated, they can also participate and enter the raffle by bringing someone to get vaccinated. >> reporter: the campaign also involves text messages and push alerts. that keeps 10 to 17 members of the communications team busy. >> more channels that government agencies can adopt, the more effectively they will reach people. >> reporter: he is ceo of one signal, whose platform helps businesses harness the power of messaging. in a survey just completed of 1000 adults, found 74% opted in to receive covid related messages and two-thirds found them helpful for reminders and making appointments. just over half signed up with public health agencies. a similar number prefer text messages. >> younger users do, in general, have a higher response rate. they are more likely to open them and more likely to take

action as a result. >> reporter: right now, 60% of santa clara's county teens had one shot, but officials want that number much higher. david louie, abc7 news. >> remember, if you have questions about coronavirus vaccines, you can ask the abc7 news vaccine team by going to abc7news.com. record high prices for new and used vehicles are weighing heavily on consumers who may feel like they are running out of options, but there is a flipside to the lack of inventory throughout the nation. abc7 news reporter chris nguyen has the story. >> reporter: this view, a stark reminder of a car shortage felt across the country. >> with the pandemic, consumers were less willing to actually ride public transportation and use ride chairs. >> reporter: economics professor paul lombardi says prices are up due to high demand and limited supply. with the economy on the up and

more people looking to buy, new vehicles are harder to find, especially as automakers struggle to secure computer chips, leading to major delays in production and delivery. >> a lot of us have not been able to travel or go to events, so consumers have more money that they are willing to spend. >> reporter: at major dealerships, used vehicles can also be hard to come by, with prices of nearly 30% year-to- year. but at san jose auto outlet, the owner says you might want to consider buying from an independent auto dealer like him, if you are okay with a slightly older, higher mileage vehicle. he added $2 million worth of inventory in recent months as a way of drying more people to the lot. >> it opened a lot of doors for me and i have been importing a lot more cars from the l.a. area, rather than the couple of options that i used to appear. >> reporter: we also checked with carmax, the nation's largest buyer and seller of used cars. they say the high demand can

benefit customers looking to trade in or sell existing cars, often receiving a higher offer than they anticipated. if you are not ready to buy or sell yet, lombardi expects a slowdown in the coming months. >> the increase will slow down as the market catches up with demand changes. so we will probably see a softening in the used car market. >> reporter: chris nguyen, abc7 news. cloudy weather will give way to a summer spread by this weekend. spencer has the seven day forecast, next. and a reminder the game five of the nba finals between the milwaukee bucks and phoenix suns is coming up sunday night

area. recently we profile the system allowing paralyzed patients to type using signals from their brain. that was remarkable, but now another team is hoping a similar, but different technology might soon allow patients to regain a form of speech. here is david louie with the story. >> reporter: you won't hear his voice, but this stroke patient is essentially speaking for the first time in 15 years, or more precisely, his brain is. it is sending signals that would normally reach his vocal chords. instead they are intercepted by researchers using a network of electrodes implanted in his brain. >> the test tells him to say this word at this time and we take the neural activity. >> reporter: the electrodes are connected to the part of the brain responsible for speech. sophisticated machine learning software is able to recognize the signals and decode them. so far the team has been able to build a vocabulary of about 50 fully formed words, enough

to create complete sentences. >> he is prompted with a sentence and is trying to say each word and those words are being decoded from his brain activity. >> reporter: the team says the approach is significantly different than other computer brain interface systems that tap into the brain's motor function. in a project we profiled earlier this summer, a research team at stanford used that technique successfully to allow a patient to type by thinking about writing out the letters. >> it is such a good story. when you are thinking words and you are used to speaking words. >> reporter: he says both approaches offer advantages, but he says his team's ultimate goal would be to translate the brain signals for all the sounds we use to produce words and natural human speech. >> someday we want to really think about how do we synthesize speech, the way you and i are

talking right now? which is 120, 150 words per minute. >> reporter: he says a device to decode human speech in real- time is probably far in the future, but hopefully a breakthrough that patients who cannot speak for themselves now will ultimately be able to tell you about. david louie, abc7 news. >> is that not just remarkable? have their brain signals mapped while they were undergoing treatment. that work helped isolate and identify brain signals associated with speech. >> incredible. coming up next, and exclusive interview with a chef and entrepreneur creating jobs and empowering women with a new bay area business. the meaning behind the name and location and all the things you will find inside. and a critically acclaimed documentary about michael
