reggie: it's ago, our partners at the san francisco standard police the voter paul on the biggest issues faced in the city think nowing june election and it shows pretty grim prospects for our d.a.. we will talk about that right now with the editor-in-chief of the san francisco standard, jonathan weber. great to see you. jonathan: thank you for having me. reggie: let's start with i recall. how many people are supporting the recall according to the poll? jonathan: it shows 52% intending to vote for the recall. it shows also a significant number of people who have not decided yet, 22% have not decided. but certainly the number is not a good one for chase for dean.

over half the people have decided to vote against him. he will have to change a lot of minds as well as winning the undecideds to save his job. reggie: i think maybe the most stunning thing to me was only 22% according to this poll plan to reject the recall. when it comes to people who have already made up their minds and decided they like him in this spot or do not like the recall, there is a small support there. jonathan: yeah. that is certainly striking that the core base of support seems to be not very large and he■has the challenge of convincing a lot of people who have either decided or have already decided to vote against him. i think it really reflects the broad concerns we saw in the poll about public safety and homelessness and rightly or wrongly district attorney booting has been blamed for a lot of those progress. reggie: what's the number one

complaint for people surveyed in this poll having about the city? jonathan: homelessness. it comes out on top. that is a huge concern for over three quarters of residents, cited as a primary concern. that is a big deal and shows up in a lot of different areas of the poll. i would really flagged that people are very tired of encountering suffering people on the streets. while the poll also shows support for policies to help people, there's also definitely a sense needs to be a bigger stick involved here as well. reggie: here is where gets interesting. the pulse 65% say they feel less safe now than they did in 2019. i'm looking at that and comparing it to the actualems ta divorce from reality.

when you look a violent crime in the city, it is lower than any point since 1985, rapes, robberies, assaults, all lower than they were 2018. murders are up but now they are going back down, matching pre-pandemic rates in the same gopher burglaries. what is going on here? jonathan: it is certainly true crime overall remains far lower than it has been at many times historically and is not out of line with other cities in terms of trends. i think it is fair to say chase -- there is a fear of crime out there that does not necessarily match what is going on. some believe that is hyped up by the media and people's fears of crime are overblown due to media coverage. i also think there are a few other things going on. one study that we did showed even though crime was

because so many fewer people were out and about during the pandemic, your chances of individually being a crime victim were up. i think that is oneac think another factor is you cited these violent crimes and that has been his party -- his priority but a lot of the low-level crimes, the shoplifting, drug dealing on the streets, those kinds of quality-of-life street crimes, i think th level that people are frustrated and fearful. reggie: i'm looking for a silver lining. is there one? jonathan: one interesting several lining i saw was that young people are the most optimistic in the future of the city and i found it to be interesting. people really remain compelled by the diversity of the city, by the beauty, either parks and open spaces, so there are

certainly lots of things that people still love about san francisco and broadly the issues have dominated a couple things are on homelessness and public safety and those are difficult problems but certainly not intractable. i would cite one other positive name which is able do think the city will come back from the pandemic sooner rather than later and so there is certainly some torque out about that. reggie: this is fascinating and interesting when you compare how people think things are going versus what the actual stats are . appreciate your insight this morning on these numbers. i want to let everyone know because we went to the numbers quickly that we have the links to the san francisco standard other reporting on the website including these numbers at abc7news.com. and to watch more abc 7 segments featuring the san francisco standards, you can check out our

abc 7 bay area streaming tv app. kumasi: abc 7 is working to build a better bay area. part of that issue has us on climate watch as we do stories about the climate and environment. state regulators updated the plan to combat climate change. jobina is live with the plan on achieving carbon neutrality. jobina: it is the first time in five years california regulators have updated the proposed climate change plan. according to the chronicle, the goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in the state by 2045. much of the push centers around the transportation sector and refining methods to store carbon in the ground. the measures include making all passenger cars and trucks sold in the state emission free by 2035, ending oil drilling in the state by 2045, and decreasing the number of miles a person drives in their cars by 2045 -- 522% by 2045 compared to
