press conference just moments before to try to help the couple who said they were disappointed by what just happened. not the best impression earlier the mayor had acknowledged the damage car break-ins are doing to san francisco's reputation it is. really embarrassing for our city, ironically the city was rolling out a new incentive to try to reduce this type of crime a reward of up to $100,000 is now being offered for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the high-level leaders of organized auto burglary fencing operations. every time they pay off a thief their friends and their associates the people that know who they are and know what they do. weak spot and this reward helps provide a motivation for those people to stand up and do the right thing and let us know who they are so that we can shut them down. officials from the hospitality and tourism industry and have

become so frustrated with these car break-ins that private donors have offered to fund the new cash reward system last july the mayor expanded the number of community based ambassadors and police patrols in and retail areas since then there has been a 37% drop in auto burglaries. the police chief said 26 officers were added the majority of them focusing on the fisherman's wharf area this is where we've seen a significant amount of reduction in burglaries a carbury's since we roll this out in july, unfortunately for this seat not a single officer was nearby to stop this crime from occurring. we have a whole. more work to do. and knowing that more needs to be done police and other city officials have stepped up the smart park or park smart campaign to remind tourists to never leave anything inside

committed to building a better bay area and one topic we're concentrating on is the climate and the environment with the current focus on climate change and its effects the issue of urban greening is taking on a new priority and now when you study by researchers here in the bay area is suggesting that differences in the urban landscape may affect health issues including covid. drive-through almost any part of the bay area and you'll eventually pass from treeline streets to grittier cement heavy neighborhoods with far less tree canopy a so-called green divide that's often visible in lower income areas with a higher percentage of people of color, but now a new study is suggesting the consequences could also be an actual health risk. so we wanted to ask our communities that have least the least green mass the same communities that have higher rates of covid in them.

circus spotswood is a lead scientist with the san francisco estuary institute along with colleague rob mcdonald of the nature conservancy. she compared data from 17 states that track covid infections by zip code. they found that neighborhoods with predominantly people of color had both less access to green space and higher infection rates to better understand the link the team then adjusted the numbers to account for variables like race income and population density. they found that even a modest of greening correlated with a 4% lower covid rate in statistical models. so that's like more green had less covid researchers have theorized that the availability of green space might lead people to separate more or perhaps contribute to healthier populations in general, whatever the driver they believe the difference can now be viewed as both a health and social justice issue.

it could be easy to spot the difference in tree covers you pass through various neighborhoods, but it can be harder to spot the invisible borders that explain the reason for it for that you have to drive back in time. they're absolutely is a history of redlining and blockbusting in this area and that occurred, you know during the same time period as a lot of these these big infrastructure projects for being put in place your real hernandez is an urban forester. he's worked to increase tree density in areas like east palo al and other cities were banks may have historically been hesitant to write single-family mortgages or where local governments were strapped for cash. it's an effort that's taken broad initiatives not doing it piecemeal doing piecemeal is really how we got into this situation with all these neighborhoods being so distinct and different and things kind of being being overlooked and back at the san francisco estuary institute researchers are hoping that framing the green divide as a significant health issue will help convince cities and

counties to devote more resources to repairing it. you know, maybe people don't care as much about the birds that can be supported by the trees outside your house, but if you know how how closely connected those trees are to your human health maybe more incentivized to do to take action and perhaps help write a historical role in the midst of a historic pandemic. now one note here the study focused on states that track covid cases by zip code rather than larger areas like counties. that's to give researchers a more diverse and detailed picture of what's really going on. all right. we want to get a check on the weather because we know dan that more rain is coming our way. yeah, i mean it is battened down the hatch's time. it sounds like sandia. yeah, absolutely because we're gonna have wins associated with this storm, dan and i'mma i want to show you live doppler 7 in just a moment. first a live view already getting gusty out there in san francisco as you will notice that camera is shaking from our sutro tower camera winds are coming in ahead of the storm live doppler 7 showing you a little bit of moisture right
