local library has become a magnet for drug users who live on the streets abc 7 news reporter lee ann melendez live in the news from now with the story that you'll see only on abc 7 looking into wine neighbors land. they want the wi-fi turned off. well, larry, let's point out. first of all that the city provides cell phones for many homeless people. it's part of california's essential lifeline in case of an emergency like many of us in many cases. they need wi-fi to connect to the internet. so neighbors are telling me that this particular library has become a magnet for the unhoused especially at night. it's mid-morning. we're on 16th street near market across from the library. it's considered one of the most troubled spots in the castro district because of this homeless encampment. we saw families trying to navigate their way past the tents thomas ashwood told us why many gather here. it's because they're safe here and it's not violent here when they go to sleep. they don't have to worry about waking up in their tents on fire

or somebody's cutting it open. they are drawn to the spot because they're in front of a public building with access to bathroom. they've also learned how to generate power from the bicycle docks when i walk by the library. you almost always see someone smoking math. and you know people are using fentanyl as well. and you know, it's comfortable the weather's not too bad. no one bothers them another visible reason for congregating here is the access to phi it's down the wi-fi at night hoping that will drive them out several. isaac what are you gonna get them all set down the reality. is that the free city wi-fi along the market street corridor is not reliable, but the wi-fi at the public library is much more robust and allows for streaming. in fact, we witness many of them doing just that using the internet from outside waiting for the library to open. we reached out to the san francisco public library.

they said a 2017 study found that crime in the area fluctuated fluctuated whether wi-fi was turned on or off. they also told us quote they continued to seek to address the digital divide. obviously, they're not filing resumes. obviously you want to provide this service for your patrons, and anyone is welcome inside, but there's no reason to let it go on during the night. there are signs of vandalism in the area. the library's parking lots surveillance camera was damaged and neighbors continue to report crimes like broken garage doors and ring doorbells that have been tempered with i mean, this is public library. i live in this neighborhood. let my daughter come here on a company. that's david burke the sfpd public safety liaison for the district. so we don't have a lot of sticks. we have even fewer carrots. and so if folks don't want help they can refuse it. so it was just very frustrating for those of us who live and work in the castro burke says, it's obvious. they need help and treatment.

among the hardest groups to reach i also want to add that bill was attempted to pass in sacramento. it was proposed sb 1416. it was called the mental health services for the gravely disabled. well, the legislation would force certain people into treatment, but it had a lot of opposition from civil rights groups, and it did not pass in the newsroom leanne melendez abc 7 news, and thank you. all right, heading into the holiday weekend kristen you think that you want to reveal. yeah. i would like to go bury-picking and i expect fog because that's along the coast right? but what about for everybody else and all the fireworks hearing and everything pescadero? is that where you're going? that's one possibility i go there sometimes yeah. yeah, that's really neat. that's that's a lot of fun. yeah the clouds they'll definitely be clinging to the coast more so some days in the others and i'll show you that coming up. but yeah, we're going to have the same pattern play out. we just have another cold front that's going to be diving down

and increasing the clouds in the patchy drizzle the next two nights, especially tonight. it's also going to usher in our coolest weather. our coolest afternoons are both tomorrow and sunday a little milder for the holiday monday, and we'll finally get back to summer, but we'll have to wait until the middle of next week breezes. we've been watching these all week. ramp up after the two three o'clock hour. we don't see any forties out there, but we still have plenty of low to mid 30s around san francisco and sfo and then about 15 to 25 elsewhere. those will hang around all the way up until about nine o'clock and then they'll back off just a little bit. they kept our temperatures well below average from 87 in brentwood, which seems pretty close to average to 80 in concord 78 in santa rosa only 70 in napa right now mid-60s around oakland hayward, san mateo union city 73 and that san jose where we're seeing just a ton of strong sunshine but breezy and cooler conditions by o'clock were into the 50s. 60s everywhere and pretty much into the 50s just about everywhere by nine o'clock with

increasing clouds and by 10 o'clock. we're in the mid-top or 50s for sure. here's a look at the visible satellite and you see the clouds already starting to make the migration to the east now what we have on top of that some really dry air as you can see from our water vapor and that's why the sun came out a little bit faster and some of our inland neighborhoods, but it's this area of low pressure. it's going to push that dry air away and reinforce the cooler more humid air and keep the clouds around a little bit longer over the weekend. we'll wake up tomorrow. the mid-50s are best chance for missed and drizzle is tomorrow morning and then tomorrow afternoon. we just we see temperatures a couple degrees cooler than today. look at that. i don't have any 80s on the map. i just have 50s 60s and the 70s. look at this that's not stopping people from going to santa cruz where it is going to be sunny and the warmest along the coast 76 tomorrow while everybody else is in the upper 50s to low 60s and as we head into sunday, it'll be partly sunny breezy and even a little bit cooler in some areas 59 in ocean beach stenson beach about 63 75 in santa cruz once again, and for they will have some morning fog, but we'll

have our best chance of sunshine in the afternoon and we'll have mid to upper 60s maybe a little bit cooler in sand than recruits at 71 heading up to tahoe averages are 78 and 41. we'll definitely be cooler than that dropping back into the 30s and 60s by sunday and monday. it's going to be breezy every single day. you're out on the water. here's my accuweather seven-day forecast back here at home and look at those 50 60s and 70s even cooler sunday with some of our fastest wins monday. we've got those high and cloud starting to roll in the low clouds, they'll not be as prevalent. but the high clouds yeah pretty much and we'll be watching those clouds start to roll in again around nine o'clock larry, so it's going to be really and go whether we see those fireworks in san francisco. it's gonna say you mean just as the fireworks are about to begin. that's when the clouds arrive. yes, sir. all right timing is impeccable. yeah. all right. we'll see how it works out this weekend marks the return of the essence festival taking place in new orleans with nicki minaj janet jackson the isley brothers

be running for re-election in california. so tongs or wagging and mines are wondering this week with the news that he is plunking down over a hundred thousand dollars to buy tv ads, but not here in california to help us understand this. we asked abc 7 news inside of phil material to join us. give us the details of this very unusual advice. it is interesting first of all the location it's in florida not in, california. why is it in florida? well because that's where the fight is and that's where the attention is governor. gavin newsom is assured virtually of re-election this fall in california as a matter of fact his arrival state senator brian dolly from the north of california. hardly. anybody even knows who he is, but they do know who gavin

newsom is and he wants the entire country to know who he is and so he's bought this ad a hundred thousand dollars. it's nothing but it is it's an attention getter. it's probably going to run. add it's going to be about freedom about the california way of freedom freedom of choice freedom to do entrepreneurial things freedom to do whatever you want and he's looking to try to make a national impact on it and he already has interesting that it's only running on fox stations. is that right? yes, and that is even the better part of it because some of it's only in zip codes as well. he's taking the fight to the republicans if you haven't even listen to gavin newsom in the last couple of you months, he more and more. becoming what he sees as the self-appointed democrat in action. he is taking on what is left of the trump administration. he's taking on republicans. he wants to take the fight to them. he is saying i am going to be the embodiment. i'm going whether it's beyond choice whether it be on the environment whether it's on guns, california is going to do

it california's ways and show the rest of the nation and oh by the way, there's a presidential race down the line. and if joe biden doesn't run in kamala harris doesn't he's there as the leading democrat with a big national following and he gets it by tactics like this and this very tempting because people are saying hey ron desantis potential republican nominee, you know newsome has kind of made him the big villain. a lot of his press conferences, but let me just ask you he has said before that he has sub-zero interest in running for the white house. is it still sub-zero? well, what is sub-zero of christian? what do you say? is that a no? is that a yes, is that if things warm up we might change we might be able to thaw this one out and put it in the oven and bake it up sub-zero. he also had no interest in running for lieutenant governor until he ran politics is a fluid situation. you never know. what's going to happen. he's not running for president, but he's standing there ready and he's going to be his profile is going to grow are we out of time? we're doing for one more.

on a national level if he should decide to run because his stance while putting a popular here in california. how will it play in peoria that remains to be seen he can be the governor from california and that will get him a lot of points with democrats all across the country. he could do really well in democratic primaries, but once he steps out that he becomes the governor from the french laundry. gavin newsom there and that's a different gavin newsom and that is one that doesn't sell so well in priority, so we're going to see it's going to be interesting. all right. take care. to. ju waiting t feir partn jennifer siebale on ans hehowpm s wasal on theade. women safety women's health with

tonight our focus is on the tenderloin. there's a legal vending. there's sex trafficking this drug trades a lot. it's 50 blocks of san francisco's gradius areas in our effort to build a better bay area. we ask can this neighborhood actually get turned around. it's been more than half a year since in emergency initiative began to clean up the tenderloin but housing homeless people especially those addicted to drugs has proved challenging and today we take a deeper look at the problems in our special series 50 blocks. the chenowing us 409 historic buildings were one of the largest residential historic districts in the united states. the tenderloin is an amazing neighborhood that city hall in the last years. unfortunately allowed to become a drug dealer containment zone.

we finally have gotten city hall take a different approach, but it's been a real rough two years. i am here. to officially declare a state of emergency in the tenderloin community of the city and county of san francisco. when we look at loss of life in the pandemic we had over 700 people alone die due to a drug overdose last year in san francisco. we have over 600 and counting this year. when we look at the conditions on our streets. it's sad. it's heartbreaking. we started this initiative because of aand a neighborhood s living in terror. what bothered me before we started it felt like people would come and be in the street

and be suffering and there wasn't enough intervention. you could just come here and disappear. a lot of what we're doing is connecting with people and telling them we want to help you. we accept you as you are that i think is game changer the question is has it made a difference for the overall community and that is still yet to be determined. my name is dale seymour. i'm a vietnam veteran retiree of the los angeles city fire department and i arrived in san francisco not knowing what the tenderloin was. and i got out of my car. i thought they were shooting a movie because i felt no one could live like this this not a real situation. but by eight o'clock that night i was in this movie. i got addicted to crack cocaine.

and i wound up being on these streets living in tents living in dumpsters. i was selling drugs running women. i was doing the whole gamut. we served a long time together me and crack cocaine. we did 18 years together. i met a church here in the tenderloin. and my life changed when i walked into that church. i never intended that day to be clean. and i talked to alex all the time. i said your day may come when you don't even expect it because it came under the day. i never expected it. i don't want anyone to use drugs, but i think drugs should never be criminalized because it is -- short disease. and you don't lock up someone for having cancer? you don't lock up someone for having leukemia. why do you lock up someone that's having an addiction and it is a disease and we refuse to treat it as these disease and instead of hiring counselors. an addiction specialist we keep hiring police officers.

my name is daniel mclennan. i'm a homeless resident here in san francisco. i have a couple impairments to make it difficult for me to find regular work. i can't tell you how many times , it's either for its quality or they'll steal it for another mat for them to sleep on and when it's stolen when you're sleeping on it's usually a violent attack. it's in fact, i lost my left arm. still clothes are still bloodstain. some guy randomly attacked me with an ax.

i'd say most of the people out here have deep family problems. it's going on guys daniel the hobo artist here. just checking in. i'd like to show you progress on my work here. the theme is going to be just a homeless people calling this collection for alex. after my late brother alex mclennan, he was found dead from a drug overdose. er was the k k and he was 10 years my junioas9 20 year old it i could raise him and go to school. and maintain my other relationships.

and it just feels like i failed. in some way all the turmoil in my life that i was feeling. that's why i kind of started gravitating towards the virgin mary. it was also this weird subconscious desire to give my brother this grace that he never got. whoever my brother is i hope he's at least experienced this embrace in virgin mary's arms. marcus street and walked down on market street. they see a lot of young african-american folks. selling weed or selling whatever. when i walk down market street, i see a lot of young african american folks at work. the only reason they're selling drugs is because they can't get into those cathedrals called

twitter salesforce. only difference between my folks on this side of market and the folks on this other side of market is they can code and we can you don't hear me we can hear you the founder of organization in the tenderloin, which is called code tenderloin. you start off for two of our participants that are here today colton. lloyd is a function of workforce development that we found it in order to serve the folks that have been left out of the picture folks in our tents folks that are in our shelters and folks at a marshall lee house. we take people from the tents from the shelters and get them trained and coding. programming engineering and now they're working in the texas salesforce twitter linkedin. hey. how you bear? all right. how's your housing life? well, that's great. thanks steve. she's been with us a long time. she's one of our better

well alma, what's your price? oh, no, i feel like i may have jumped at the 5,000, you know good for those who are able to hold out for the 10,000 mike. i'm with alma. i would have probably yeah talked to the wife and tried to figure out the algorithms and exactly how many people are up on the board that says that needs seats versus what we have to do the next day if we don't make our flight, so yeah, i'd take that money in the heartbeat this is highly unusual because i feel like these days what they do more often is they just boot the people with no status. yes book you on something don't give you any compensation before they get to that point where you know, people are ready to board and they have to offer. a thousand dollars. i probably would have gone i would have taken a thousand and then realized oh my family. he'll be fine. they'll be fine here. here's some drink coupons for you know, yeah, that actually happened to be coming back from portland. it was the last flight. i was like 10:30 at night.

and this family of four said yeah, we'll take the money, but they had to find somewhere to stay that night. well, i was just gonna say if it's like a flight leaving from here and i can just go home. i would totally do it, but if you're paying $59 for a hotel then you're like, yeah, okay. research from software company qualtrics finds 56% of us employees would not consider a job at a company that has values that they disagree with 54% would be willing to take a pay cut to work at a company with better values. 44% said they want their company executives to speak out about employee well-being 35% said wages and 2.8% said politays. but yeah, i mean i can see that right you want to work? is that you believe shares your values alma. what do you think? is that important? absolutely, and it can't just be talk either like you gotta actually see them doing the things that back it up as well. nobody wants to be in a work environment that they don't enjoy because then it doesn't make the job fun. and you know, we want to enjoy

what we do. happiness matters well, all right. so let me just pose this question to you because i've got a bunch of friends that have great jobs at facebook and they don't necessarily like facebook policies then what? all right you have a great job. job taking care of your family your one person in an army a company. that's got two billion followers users. whatever you want to call them. what are you going to do? how are you going to influence mark zuckerberg if you gonna quit your job have another walkout, haven't they had a couple of those? i don't know. i mean, i feel like that's what investment bankers have been doing forever. they work for 10 years. they have enough bank. they leave and walk away forever. so they sell their soul for 10 years. all right. not thinking about that. he has no soul to sell he was right there like baseball larry taking the air. so there's a reason alma doesn't do the 4pm on a daily basis. sorry. today's july 1st in the baseball world. it's also known as bobby bonilla day once a year the mets the new

york mets pay bonilla nearly, 1.2 million dollars and you ask why back in 2000 the team agreed to buy out the remaining 5.9 million dollars on bobby. was contracts instead adferrnnlt bollectse checks unt whe h is years now, here's the other part of the story. the time that the mets were making this deal. they thought we are making so much money with bernie madoff. that we want every sense to go into his fund. so we'll gladly pay bobby bowe, you know for an eternity not realizing that madoff had a ponzi scheme and they lost all their money that way and still have to give money to bobby bonney. it's about my guy, you know, the story is crazy. it is crazy that whoever his agent is i mean, yeah did a great job. i guess really explain the math

to me though. how does buying out of 5.9 million dollars, you know. right ends up being 1.2 million each year until whatever so they thought if they took the 5.9 that they owed him and gave it to bernie madoff to invest they would make way more than the 1.2 that they're paying bonilla every year like they were thinking that's going to be a hundred million dollars. this is a great deal for us because we're paying a little over a million every year and you get it? yeah. okay. i get it on z math. thank you very much. i'm happy. i'm that's my specialty again. no soul. yeah in a few days you guys san jose is joey chestnut will try to win the nathan's famous fourth of july hot dog eating contest for the 15th time today was the official weigh in chestnut was there on crutches, but that won't keep him from trying to defend his title on monday. he holds the current world record of eating 76 hot dogs and buns. in 10 minutes on the women's side six-time champion mickey sudo is favored to win.

anybody know how many she ate. a lot. yeah. i don't know the exact number, but it's crazy what you have to do to your body to get can people gonna laugh conditioned but you do you guys what do you do like you have to soak the bread the bun and water right so that it's all just goes down faster. yes. just shove it down. that's the that's one of the keys, but you also have to practice like eating a zillion hot dogs so you can be ready. you can't just show up and go. oh, let's see how this works. so i want to see larry eat one hot dog. yeah, he would not put that in the temple. no, you're not gonna see that. oh, right. just you know. we've had joey chesson on a million times and he's great. i worry about him actually because if you keep doing this to your body you it's not good. it's not good. so i hope he's okay, but and any wins all the time, that's the other part of it. so i bet mike i think you could eat five in. oh, no, no 10 minutes. it's 10 minutes now used to be 12, and they dropped it to 10.

well, it's interesting in the mic knows the details of the rules thinking of making gonna make a run of oh, no televised. oh, no. no, but i usually work. independence day and so it's on in the morning when i was working morning tonight sitting back and i'd eat my lunch slowly and watch joey just go down i could do it if it's cookies for sure. yeah. i mean pizza, maybe yeah, they got everything. all right, that's it for the ford 4 think about what you want to eat massive quantities of and i'll do ponzi math when we come back.
