the man. police and the district attorneys office are investigating. this happened not far from the dublin pleasanton bart station. police are moving quickly together facts and they will provide more information when it becomes available. >> tonight, a potentially pivotal moment in the long-running project to create a ballpark along the waterfront at harvard terminal. this development would transform oakland. sports anchors casey pratt is monitoring the city council meeting. he is going to join us to explain what their vote tonight would mean. >> a project this size means high stakes and emotions also run high. union workers at the port of oakland held a rally outside city hall to protest the project. tim johns was there. >> whirling around oakland city hall, you can workers from the port of oakland held a protest

against the potential new stadium. with a long road ahead of it, the oakland city council is set to hold a key vote on the environmental impact. a decision the protesters hope will result in no vote. >> we are saying the privatization of the fort which shut it down. 2000 trucks a day come into the port. >> if approved, the development would include a 35,000 seat ballpark, 3000 units of housing and 1.5 million square feet of office space. the protesters don't want any of those things and say they worry the developments could lead to job losses in more gentrification in the east bay city. >> do we need 3000 luxury condos in oakland when working-class people are in tense? many public housing. spend 800 million for working people in oakland. >> many of the concerns will be addressed says oakland mayor libby schaaf. speaking at a news conference on thursday, she says the port will

still be able to prove -- to thrive and retain jobs. > we have many complicated things to address from good union jobs to the impacts on our incredible economic engine, the port of oakland peered we are committed to meet these challenges. >> back now to the ongoing meeting with the oakland city council. it could vote to certify the howard impact report. casey pratt has been following the sag a for over a decade and is closely watching this meeting. what is the latest? >> it is still ongoing. they were about to rip up the first phase of public comments. this meeting is expected to go through the night. it is a question about whether or not they will vote tonight because there is a lot to go over. at the moment, still waiting. public comment happening at a lot of mixed reviews from the public. >> the vote is scheduled.

it is going to be a long meeting. some council members have said they may push the vote to another time. do you think there will be a resolution tonight? >> i do think they will vote tonight. as this thing drags on, that could be pushed to march. if that gets pushed to march, not a big deal. not a reason to panic. i do think it is something they went to get done because it they can vote tonight, they don't have to have another one of these meetings to do what they will inevitably do, which is to certify the eir for harvard terminal. the oakland planning commission unanimously recommended it. they are the experts. they're the ones that usually review the documents to if they unanimously recommended it, odds are the oakland city council will vote to certify it. or we saw all there is concern among the port workers and taxpayers. how useful is howard terminal to the port? >> howard terminal is basically a truck parking lot and a truck

parking lot and the container storage overflow area. the reason howard terminal is available is because it is too shallow for the large ultra mega ships coming through that the port will be using. it is not really used for much. it is not collecting a whole lot of tax revenue. if you build a $6 billion development, then comes all the tax revenue. that tax revenue can be used help the things oakland is talking about needing to address. none of that, the community benefits discussions, the development agreement, all the things that can happen cannot happen until they vote on this eir so they need to get that done tonight so they can address the major concerns. most importantly, freight. they to be able to move the trucks and the trains without the ballpark ingesting the site. there are mitigation measures to handle that in the eir. >> that report is the linchpin to the next series of events. you will have an interesting night watching. dark i will go back to listening right now. >> in just a few at -- just a

few yards ago, the governor announced the state's new approach to the pandemic as we move past what he caused the crisis phase. karina novo joins us from the newsroom. darker the governor says the phase is when the factors in living with the virus and using what we learned. there were no new policies or mandates announced. just a plan for moving forward. that press conference was held in a warehouse with fontana with emergency supplies behind him. the governor says that is part of being ready for whatever the virus may bring in the future. >> we are more adaptable. we are more capable to understand the nature of this disease, the mutations, the variants and we recognize with humility we don't know what we don't know as it relates to the future. but we have never been more prepared for that future. it is in again that spirit of optimism that we now move into a

new phase of addressing the challenges and realities of this disease. remove out of the pandemic phase and we move into a phase which should allow you confidence that we are not walking away. >> here is a look at that plan to move forward. it is called smarter stands for shots, masking, rx or prescription treatments. governor newsom touted california's handling of the pandemic noting the lower per capita death rate compared to other states. the governor says the smarter plan is how the state will move from a react give an crisis framework to living with the virus. >> yesterday, we know the mast mandate was lifted. any other big announcements like that come out of today's news conference? >> there were no big announcements like that here the

governor laid out a plan for being prepared as we saw with what happened with delta and omicron. things could change and when it comes to the spire is, they want to be prepared. part of the plan is to monitor mutations, the ready with ppe and dropping the cost of testing he says he hopes to do. darker thank you for that update. to stay updated on the latest covid headlines, go to the abc 7/coronavirus. >> how did the tenderloin get its name? did you know it is the only one to keep that name? abc7news insider phil matier joins us with the history of the tenderloin. see how the past shape of this part of san francisco into what it is today and what it will take to make it better. >> winter is making a return to it i will sh

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. women are living longer than ever before with kisqali when taken with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with hr+,

her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant 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. tell your doctor right away 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. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali.

>> asap -- san francisco's tenderloin neighborhood has been among the city's worst for crime, drugs and homelessness and it has been that way for generations. in our effort to build a better bay area, we ask, can this neighborhood be turned around? that includes understanding the unique history of this neighborhood. phil matier is joining us live with some perspective and why the tenderloin has always had some problems and faced its challenges. >> located just a few blocks away from union square, one of the highest fashion shopping districts in the country, the tenderloin, 50 blocks of museums, nightclubs, strip

joints, vice, fun. it is also a center of a lot of drugs now. a lot nice -- a lot not so nice vice and families forced to live in single rooms and share bathrooms with others. what is really ironic is it was planned to be that way about 100 years ago. here's the story. what is it about the tenderloin that captures so many people's imagination? >> there is nowhere like it definitely in this country where there is a working class neighborhood that is right downtown of a major metropolitan area. >> how did it get its name? >> there are a lot of different theories. the name originated in new york and a cop was bragging because he was working the vice area he had been eating chuck but now he could afford a piece of tenderloin should he would be on the take because he is working the tenderloin area. there were areas known as

tenderloins and every major u.s. city in the early 20th century pit hours is the last one that maintained its name. >> it was a center for vice it was also a center for low income. beatniks and poetry. it was a center for a lot of things. >> the history of the tenderloin really is about having a high density of affordable housing. for that reason, it has been a safe haven throughout its history for people who don't quite fit into society mainstream. it was all built right after the 1906 earthquake when the neighborhood was basically burned to the ground. it was a lot of single room occupancy's. it was to house people, rebuilding the city and working downtown. the single room, no kitchen, no living room. so these single men and women, that is when a lot of bars and restaurants started coming into the neighborhood should really turning into a nightlife area. and then actually women in the early 1900s in san francisco

were working their own job, living on their own and actually going to these bars and restaurants unaccompanied by men. that was socially radical at the time. the moral reformers who had closed on the barbary coast today campaign to closed on the tenderloin. once the barbary coast was closed down, that is when a lot of brothels were moving into the neighborhood. it was becoming known as the new barbary coast. the neighborhood was effectively shut down in 1917. but then prohibition came along. so then once all nightlife was pushed underground, then everything was more permissible again. the tenderloin was thriving -- a bit cd but nightlife capital of the bay area in the 20's, 30's and 40's. >> it was a place you could go out and play a slat machine in the basement. >> a lot of the underground economy was gambling. prostitution to some degree. the underground economy that

supported the aboveground economy. it supported the bars and restaurants. >> it has always been a contained area where things were allowed to happen that would not be tolerated in other parts of town. >> that is why it is also been a place were all these social justice movements and radical ideas started because people that are not part of society's mainstream are more apt to challenge it. we sell that with women in the early 1900s like the queer civil rights movement in america started in the tenderloin in the early 1960's peered that is a history we are proud to showcase here. >> the social services here are entrenched. they are part of this neighborhood. >> they are businesses that help locks of people. really groundbreaking ideas about harm reduction. all begin here and the tenderloin and are now practiced throughout the world. >> it also allowed other neighborhoods to not provide those services or have those because they were all down in

the tenderloin. >> the tenderloin has been viewed as a containment zone throughout its history and the tenderloin and soma has all the services in the entire city so there is a lot of people that have needs in the city and they are going to come here to get the services they need. >> what do people get wrong about the tenderloin? what did they not see? >> people suffering with issues are very visible and they are here to get help. i think maybe people don't see there is a lot of incredible places that help them and that is why they are here. the tenderloin did not create economic inequality. and these horrible problems people are experiencing. it is a praise -- a place that is here to help those people. it is a tightknit community as well. i don't think people realize walking down the street that everyone knows each other. there is a warm support system as well. >> that support system, all the

social programs and community programs and health programs in the tenderloin has been fed over the decades by millions of dollars from developers in other parts of the city. the city broker deals saying if you want to build -- he went to build a big hotel in the downtown, you have to help the social service agencies at the tenderloin to it has led to more people going into the neighborhood seeking help and more people with problems coming into the neighborhood. it is a cycle that has been spinning and is now spinning out of control. >> so true. what a great history lesson on the tenderloin. that was fascinating. what is the answer here? it is obviously very complex. how do we create neighborhood that supports those in need, that is a safe and decent place to live but not gentrified? >> the first step is we are going to see if london breed can do it. the mayor says she needs to get the people who need help in to help. right now, that is an option. that is one of the things you have to deal with. what are you going to tolerate

on the streets? is there a line or is it a continued containment zone where anything goes? the second one is the programs themselves. do you keep them concentrated in one area? it is not just about san francisco. you see the same problems in san raphael, oakland, berkeley and san jose. what do you do when you have social problems like tents? do you put them in one area or do you spread them out? if you spread them out, you make people in other neighborhoods unhappy. it is a conundrum. it is something that is going to be tough. we need to do it if we are serious about building a better bay area. >> you make a good point. it is not just the tenderloin. outstanding to you can check out all of his stories about the tenderloin. they are on the abc 7 bay area streaming tv app, which you can download for your apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv and roku. >> we are in mid february and we

are still quite warm. >> >> it sounds like we will get a hint of winter coming. i think winter is going to make an appearance and it is going to be abrupt especially temperatures dropped so sharply and you will need the possibility of an umbrella. i will talk about that in a momen6. right now, we're talking beach weather because there is a longt swell. you see the waves in santa cruz? bringing risk of rip currents, sneaker waves. watch lp recurrent wave heights are seven to 10 feet. on live doppler 7, we have a few passing high clouds. do want to show you the forecast for lunar new year's celebration. it is the year of the tiger. it is going to be mild low to upper 60's. saturday, sunday and warmer. sunday turns windier and cooler. if you are taking part in the festivities, keep that in mind and the chinese new year parade

what are you recommending for muscle pain? based on clinical data, i recommend salonpas. agreed... my patients like these patches because they work for up to 12 hours, even on moderate pain. salonpas. it's good medicine meet a future mom, a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. yeah, you'll get used to it. this mcha ching.iting money and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there and start his own financial journey. that's because these moms all have chase.

to solve. >> a good example of why a smooth running supply chain is tickled paired 700 -- 700 employees in fremont are managing the incoming components. the flow of cargo from overseas has slowed. >> the ports are too small. they are too old-fashioned. there are lots of other supply chain problems. i think they're going to stay with us for a long time should dr. hannah kane founded the company 25 years ago. she says some of these issues could take five to 10 years to solve. the supply of prescription drugs made overseas. the situation has eased with the end of the holiday good season. some companies have boosted their orders to offset delays. took i think companies have over ordered and i think it is going to come back and bite some of them. maybe the demand is not there. maybe the demand has shifted.

>> that has created another issue. as companies grow concerned, they're ordering more goods from overseas. as those ships arrive with the congo, where do you put it all? that creates a warehousing problem. they are opening a new assembly facility to store more imported goods. this is a very labor-intensive industry. they are paying $18 an hour to attract and retain its workforce. inflation is driving other costs up so the supply chain challenge continues. >> i am not seeing we will have enough labor in supply chain. certainly the trucking crisis is an ongoing problem. >> why we no longer -- well we no longer have to live with an indoor mask made in public, the schools -- the rules have not changed for schools. look at what it would change -- what it would take to change those rules. >> we have been working to make

announcer: building a better bay area. moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. dan: protesters on before former vice president mike pence will take the stage at stanford. he speaks at 7:00. campus republicans are hosting the event that has already been met with pushback by campus democrats. ama: abc 7 spoke with both sides, and the university at of tonight's event. reporter: the event hosted by the club stanford college republicans. >> we found out the former vice president was able to come. we work since the fall to make that a reality. reporter: the title of the evening's event -- how to save america from the work left. the event has been the talk of campus, with many students planning protests before tonight. >> there are thousands of whose lives have been

negatively impacted by not just his policies, the cultural violence that his administration brought into the national american stage. reporter:. reporter: they say different plans of action will be taken including a rally, and walkouts. >> people have reserved tickets already, and they will be sitting in those seats, and once the event starts, they will be doing a mass walkout. reporter: a member of the stanford college republicans says protests are expected. >> it would be much more productive to actually engage, rather than walking out and taking up a seat from somebody who will be outside and not able to come to the event. reporter: the campus group stanford democrats say they are not sponsoring any protests but they are also concerned about pence's visit. >> he has a right to be here. what worries me is what he can say during his discourse. he can easily attack students by attacking the groups they are part of, as he has done in the

past. >> a stanford spokesperson sent us this statement --" stanford values free expression and different viewpoints. the university is committed to ensure they can be voiced in an atmosphere of thoughtful and respectful engagement." it goes on to say, "they support the rights of everyone to protest." despite the pushback, stanford republicans says more similar events are in the works. ama: new details. a judge announced a ruling refusing to seal the terms of an out-of-court settlement to the wrongful death case against the hillsborough errors, tiffany lee. a jury found her not guilty of killing keith green, the mother of her two children. greens mother sued her, and the settlement was reached,. the amount of money going to green and two dollars was kept secret. while a judge tentative people too that, he said more paperwork can be submitted to support their argument. dan: as reported, california

dropped its indoor mask mandate yesterday, but the mask requirement at schools continues, at least for now. however, there is an indication that it may be dropped perhaps next month. as senior education reporter lyanne melendez explains, like everything else related to this pandemic, there are mixed opinions. lyanne: february 28 is when the state will reevaluate mask mandate. it could be lifted days later. today the secretary of california health and human services said, that it looks better today than it did even on monday. things have calmed down considerably in the state, and we are hope that what we see on the 28th gives us the confidence to set a date. any decision will depend on the vaccination rates among children, and community cases. the mission district in san francisco saw the highest number of cases in the city during the height of the pandemic. this is a parent and community leader here. reminded us that the virus would

quickly in those overcrowded households in the mission. >> if their kids bring their various home, many families are also immunocompromised, so, it is not as easy as, ok, we will go off what the state decides or what the city decides. we also have to think about other factors. lyanne: but this oakland parent says he is accepting the idea of getting rid of masts at schools. >> even though, they are used to wearing the masks now, it is time. i feel comfortable with them being outside in public spaces without it being on. lyanne: san francisco unified said it will follow what state and local health departments dictate but kids 5 through 11 in san francisco still have a lower vaccination rate than the rest of the population, 67%. over state numbers are much lower.

that's why teachers like claudia would like to delay any changes to the mask mandate in schools. >> some of them have little babies in their households. so i don't think this population should have their masks of until they are fully vaccinated -- look how long it took for adults to take their masks off and be boosted. lyanne: in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. ama: next, a problem, and a possible solution the topic. -- illegal dumping. also -- >> i had to figure out everything on my own and it was a tough journey to be on, because there wasn't anyone that looks like me. dan: a difficult journey with a big payoff for a wedding planner not just

dumping necklace at the pandemic. sky seven capturing a mattress's photos, even more evidence. >> for us what we care about is our steam water supply. we don't want unknown things being left on our watershed. it is not good for the water, it's not good for the land, and it is not good for the plants and animals. terry: protecting that watershed is one of the big reasons local, and state lawmakers are pushing for bigger fines. disassembly member if the chair of the water parks and wildlife committee. >> the intent of this legislation is to, if after all the education the county is doing and all they are doing to try and prevent this, if one engages in illegal dumping, we have penalties that meet what that means to our communities. terry: the proposed bill would increase fines from $3000 $5,000 for the first offense. $6,000 to $10,000 for the second

offense. and from $10,000 to $20,000 for the third offense and beyond. companies could also lose their business license. east bay mud is hopeful it will get people thinking twice. >> i don't know if the people who dump care enough to reassign and not do it. maybe if they are offered other alternatives or if there is a financial deterrent such as, you know, and increased fine, that would help.me om industry, officials say everybody can do their part in damping down on illegal dump you like this check to see if people are bonded and licensed. ask them what they are going to do with your trash. number two, report it if you see it. terry: also reminding people that by no means is this a freedom. the cost of cleanup is a cost to the customer. >> the finest from cleaning this up, from east bay mud

>> after doing a little research and looking at the wedding magazines, there was no one of color, and absolutely, absolutely no lgbtq+ couples. for me, that was one of my passions, because i didn't want couples to have to come out to every single wedding creative and have that opportunity to be denied. reporter: it has been a ride, but daniels, you could say, has arrived. being named a top planner by publications like "brides," harper's bazaar and industry weddings sharing knowledge that for so long was kept from her. >> there was a need that wasn't getting met. people were out there just trying to make it. reporter: daniels is a founding partner of a group created in 2020 to highlight broad professionals in the luxury wedding space. floral designer melissa sullivan is part of the collective. >> without hesitation, and it has been great.

reporter: sullivan owns this business. her work speaks for itself. . but she says her three years in the industry has been tough, in some ways navigating microagressions and hostility from veneers. >> clients are often surprised to see me sometimes if they have never seen me before. there is a bit of a shock. sometimes i am at the venue and people think that my assistant is the reporter: and that is if she is approved to work at a venue. in the wedding business, there is something called a preferred vendor list, basically a list of everything from florists, caterers, even djs that the venue either prefers or requires couples use. >> that have made two vendor lists. just two. i would have to say that i would have to jump hurdles to make it on. reporter: preferred vendor lists have been the source of gatekeeping for decades. whether or not it was intentional, so have

publications. anna is the editorial director of "brides." >> the summer of 2020, with the racial unrest following the murder of george floyd, we started having conversations as a team as well as in the wedding community and realized, we weren't being as intentional with our inclusivity as we had intended. reporter: the 87-year-old brand launched their diversity pledge summer, highlighting their commitment to antiracism. in 2020, "brides" called for 20% for newly published weddings to feature black couples, and overall, 50% to feature diverse couples. in 2021, 27% of the newly published weddings featured black couples, and 54% featured diverse couples. >> those are numbers. . our goal is we want you to feel seen. we want you to see a wedding and a bride and groom look like you. reporter: in q4, 100% of brides newly published featured stories with multiple sources.

come. the question is can the a's get it built? the oakland city council may vote to approve the final environmental impact report from the a's' stadium proposal. we have been following the twists and turns. joining us live, he has got his phone so he can listen to the council meeting on his phone. they did vote on something, casey, but not the environmental impact report. >> yeah. they are just about to start the process of discussing the eir. city staff is presenting the details of it, which is a 3500 page document, so of history they made some nice graphs so we can digest it at -- better. it is getting to be a long night, over three hours in and they haven't even addressed the aspect of what everyone is hoping is addressed today. larry: why don't you elaborate on that? because part of this -- it is a chicken and big thing with the community benefits, which council members have a right to pursue.

they want to know what is the city going to get out of this deal. but it is chicken and egg, because if you don't go forward you don't get the money. >> yes, larry. i do have chickens and they do produce eggs. [laughter] [laughter] but what's going on is they want to discuss and lock in community benefits, make sure everything is taken care of. the whole first three hours was addressing the community benefits. but they can't federalize any of these benefits until they certified the eir. so it is a chicken and egg thing, community benefits are incredibly important. . but you have to certify first so you can handle those things. so we are waiting to see when we get to that part. larry: part of the reason that the meeting is going so long is they, again, took public comment. but our desk started to each other and i am listening to all this, and the council members are arguing that their districts deserve more of the money -- they will not get any of the money unless they vote yes

to approve the eir. it is just aar >> you are right. unless the project is built, you will not get it. the taxes come from the project itself. $29.5 million is the current value of the howard terminal. with the ballpark buildout, it should be 7.6 billion. so there is a lot of tax revenue. larry: on the positive note, for a long time, and this is something some of the other council members mentioned, flirting with las vegas. we haven't heard the term parallel past in a while with the a's? >> it only serves to rub the oakland city council the long way. and they are making significant progress on the waterfront ballpark. so right now it is not smart to keep mentioning vegas.

but it will be there to rear its ugly head if this doesn't go well. sandhya: alright, you will be monitoring the meeting. thank you, moving on, the worriers go to the all-star break having lost four or five, but they still have the second-best record behind phoenix in the nba. steph curry goes to cleveland regarding a huge defensive lapse that cost them the game last night. they were up two. seconds left. he is in no man's land. that leaves the guy he should be guarding, morris, white open and, a game-winning 34 denver. he owned it after the game. he knew it. >> i took the bait and i made a dumb stepped late. the last thing you can do in that situation is give up a three. and i did that. >> i will not sleep because there several things that i will kick myself for, i should've done this, i should have done that. it stings when you lose one like this.

larry: yeah. there is a lot of wood or sugar cuda. one thing we know for sure is that the warriors need a break. they will get it over the all-star break before they start the backend end of the season, dan and ama. ama: that is it for this edition of abc7news. thanks for joining us. dan: for all of us here, we appreciate your time. up you have a great evening. we will see you again for abc7news at 11:00. i've been making yogurt that is less sweet and high in protein since 2005. now we're doing the same for plant based. still rich and creamy. plant-based siggi's: more protein and less sugar than leading yogurt alternatives.
