as some experts tell me when it comes to homelessness, it is often times people's perceptions that matter more than reality. one of san francisco's most pervasive and pressing problems might be getting a little better. according to data thursday from the latest point in time count, the number of people experiencing homelessness in the city dropped from over 8000 to about 7750, a 3.5% decrease. much of the drop can be attributed to the massive amount of resources the city received during the pandemic. >> city seven gotten much help from the california government or the federal government until this happened, so that makes a difference. >> of those counted, 57% were unsheltered and living on the street. while the racial and athletic makeup of those experienced state relatively the same, latinos with a noticeable exception. homelessness in that community

is perception and the perception is the problem is getting worse even though the numbers are going down. >> one thing i heard about why the perception might not ranch -- match the reality is there seem to be more tent encampments around the city. that is probably because homeless folks were given free tends to live in to try to keep them safe. that is possibly adding to the perception that the problem is getting worse. live in the newsroom, tim johns. ama: thank you. district 6 which includes the tenderloin neighborhood is home to about half of the city's homeless population. we have put together a documentary. it is on the app. the affidavit may be partly unsealed. a judge weighed in today. a warning for apple users. vulnerabilities in many popular devices. gearing up for a beloved san francisco decision.

the witnesses. legal experts believe that argument is likely to hold up. >> i think there is virtually zero chance it will be released and if it is, it will be substantially redacted. >> it appears the judges leaning in that direction, giving government lawyers one week to explain which parts of the affidavit they are willing to make public and which should be redacted. the doj lawyers suggesting so much would be blacked out that there would be nothing of substance, but news organizations including abc news argue the huge political implications of the case mean the public has the right to know what is going on. their lawyer declaring transparency serves the public interest in understanding and accepting the results. you can trust what you cannot see. >> it is not the governments job to tell the public what is meaningful in terms of the release of its own information. >> as for former president donald trump, who has blasted calls for transparency in the release of the affidavit, his attorney did not weigh in.
