parenthood as well as the department of public health and technology. it is an effort to have all of the information that we believe would be helpful for those seeking reproductive resources. >> i want to pull it up to give our viewers a sense of what it looks like. there it is. tell us, how do you find a provider. >> there is a find your provider . if you know the city, you can

enter that. or if you simply want a full list, you can just click on that as well to give you an entire statewide map. if you do narrow it down to a particular area. >> are these vetted? >> yes, there was quite a bit of involvement with community input. these locations are very, very good. >> in our example, we put in san francisco. what if you are out of state because obviously there are states that have moved to ban abortion's and those are the people who might be wanting to

come to california for that service. can they use it? >> absolutely, this is on the internet and there was no boundary in term of users. that is why we have a choice that if you do know a particular city or area, you can do that. if you want to look at california's a while, you can do that as well. i want to emphasize for those outside of california, bay are visiting the site without any concern about the visiting being tracked. we do not track any of this information. >> note digital footprint left, so to speak. how about if you are a non-english speaker? >> there is a bilingual option

graham introduced a bill. it is not getting the backing of all republicans and presumably will not get any democratic support. as the state of california preparing for the day when a federal ban on abortions might come and what if it does? >> my involvement is from the aspect of as a woman in california in public service was proud to participate in providing the resources that were already available in the state of california. we just want to make sure we get the word out despite what else is going out --going on elsewhere, california has your

back. california will do everything that we can to make sure this information and resources will be made readily available. >> just looking around after the overturning of roe v. wade, it seems there was a lot of misinformation about abortions. is that what we try to solve here? >> that is a great question. we recognize people unfortunately take advantage of the situation and there is misinformation out there, and that is why this site is so important. that is the official site. >> the website is live.

anchor: it is a good thing the mayor does not have to give an

address today because the state of the city is anything but rosy according to comprehensive new poll done by the san francisco chronicle. a post 90 questions to residents and found widespread discontent. joining us live now to take a closer look at who is unhappy is abc 7 news and satterfield. --phil. >> symptoms of skins have felt for a long time the city has gone in the right -- wrong direction. we had the pandemic and that we have the great return which is not turning out to beat such a great return to the offices as we thought. there was a malaise out there. throw in homelessness and guests, you have a recipe for discontent. one of the most startling numbers in this pole was not the

rating of the mayor, but of the people themselves. when we have close to 50 percent saying they have been a victim of a crime in the past five years, one in four saying they have been physically threatened or attacked, when you have four out of 10 saying they have had their property damaged, that is a flunking grade. >> it seems like crime is a big piece of this puzzle. so people are fed up. i found this to be startling too. a third of the people said they would move out and about two thirds said the city is worse now than when they moved here. >> most of the people who said they would be moving out in the next three years or so our younger people, with good reason. they are in studios or with roommates or single room

apartments that they are paying outrageous rents for. we now have a thing called remote working. what is the reason for them to stay. what is the future for somebody to come here, by somebody to raise a family? that is when you will see the migration out. first off, you have the office boom. most of the space is taken up. we built a high rise offices with the idea of finance and tech propelling us into the future. well, finance and tech is moving to other cities right now. but we still have those buildings. not a lot of room for growth or new places to be built. the second one is the housing. we have made it difficult for people to build family housing. people want to live with four walls. that is difficult to deliver in

san francisco. but some of this discontent is not just in san francisco. i would bet you would find it much the same numbers in oakland and throughout the bay area, if for no other reason than inflation and the cost of living continue to rise. >> with the headwinds you just talked about, what can realistically be done to turn some of those opinions in their favor? >> that has been the ongoing question in san francisco. it has been a self-defeating tug-of-war. we have watched it repeatedly. for example, homelessness was the number one problem. that is not new. but it is really being felt by a lot of people. it is very visual.

you cannot escape it. you take a walk anywhere and you are going to see a. it is worse in some neighborhoods like the tenderloin, but it is not just limited to one area. the leaders how to get peoe o see or even if they should b to debate and street. that is why it is going nowhere. we have open drug dealing, years of it. one of the big reasons chesa boudin got recalled was because of the open-air drug dealing. you are building your own problem. the question is can san francisco go get out of this hamster cage of going nowhere. kristen: the other question is, who was getting the lion's share of the blame? i feel like the answer is everyone.

>> if i was spinning this for mayor london breed, i would say hey you do not think i am doing a good job, look at these numbers. poor or very poor 35. that is not very good, but the thing is if you take a look at the board of supervisors or the board of education or other responsible groups, they are faring even worse. so if it was the mayor's people, i would say i know we are in trouble, but not as much as other people in city hall. i think london breed has a tough task ahead of her. she has her own district attorney, she has her police chief in now. she has momentum on her side now. the big question is whether she can deliver. that is where it gets

interesting on the polls. people say things are not going well. well come out which way are they not going well? do you wanted to be more progressive or more moderate? people are not happy on both sides. and for various reasons. kristen: and the consolidation of power, porting your own people in these key positions, that could be good or bad, right? >> it could be. it could be very bad. it could be good because you have your team. it could be bad because then you have nobody else to blame. another thing this poll showed and it will be disturbing to talk about, is race. that is a topic that is coming back and it is not necessarily a black and white issue. it cuts across the board. when it comes to racism, 70 3%

of the black people feel it is a hindrance to get things changing for the better. 70% of patients feel race is not -- race is the reason why things are not getting better. what does that mean? it depends on who you talk to. kristen: when you look at race, i was looking at the mayors approval numbers. she had the highest unfavorable's from latinos, followed by asians and whites. what does that mean? >> it means that those are the numbers. polls are snapshots, but they are not three-dimensional. that is when you have to go out and talk to people. that is what we have been doing with building a better bay area. when you say, what do something

like that mean? the question is why. what is it that is making you unhappy as opposed to just the fact that you are unhappy. and that is not answered in this poll. kristen: that is the tough part. getting to the nitty-gritty. >> what is the solution? i noticed the polls do not say what do you think of this as a solution or that as a solution? they gave you peoples feelings but not where they want you to go is a government and that is what is called leadership. that is something we will have to see. the question is, is london breed in trouble? every mayor in america is in

trouble now. but who was there to replace her? kristen: and she has to get her. she is not facing the voters until next year. as you mentioned, there are a whole host of issues to discuss and transportation is a part of it. phil will be back to talk about kristen: --bart. he has an in-depth interview with bart general manager. look for that i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. the three what? the three ps? what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase,

officials may not have done a study on the impact of the removal of the previous section and that is the part that remains. joining us now is the editor, alex. before we dive into what you found. quickly remind our view with which sections of the central freeway remain today in which such as being debated for tear down? >> there's only one section remaining. it is a one point two mile stretch that commits the 101 two market street and octavia. it has been there since 19 59 and it is made of steel. kristen: you wrote about a new rebuttal by neighbors. why did they think it was necessary? >> i think they are become urban

planners. they are seeing the environment and they want to make changes. when you go on division street and it is shaded and it feels uncomfortable, unlike much of the rest of the city, you kind of want to push your elected leaders to make changes. kristen: what would be the downside to turning down that section? will there be longer travel time if the alternative was going through city streets? >> that is hard to say because the study just has not been done. back in the late 90's and early two thousand's, neighbors told me studies indicated keeping the freeway would only save about two or five minutes in travel time. but what you would gain from tearing it down would be potentially new housing, parks,

a tree lined boulevard. kristen: i suppose developers are behind this as well since they would get to build more units. >> i imagine they would be behind it. i did not come across an developer that is interested. it is residence. kristen: so this neighborhood group, do they have a leg to stand on? considering how the city missed a study. >> the city is updating its general plan right now and that is part of the city policy that calls for a comprehensive study. so they can agitate to get the study done now. and with the inflation reduction act, there will be more funding coming to san francisco. perhaps there was a chance they could get the dollars needed to

get the study done. kristen: i was just going to say, first there was the study and then the actual tear down. who would pay for that? >> it is always piecemeal. there was always going to be local, state, federal. one interesting fact is potentially the land could be so left to developers to pay for the work. kristen: your article has come out and state senator scott wiener has come out in support of turning down that one mile section. what is the timeline? >> that is a great question. we will see. to tear down the other half, there were three or four measures. who knows? we have a lot of ballot initiatives coming this november. i know there are more coming. it is really up to the neighborhood activists and the city leaders.

kristen: how did they intend to keep the pressure up? >> i understand they are going to go after supervisor candidates. getting scott weiner approval was a big deal. i imagine the mayor is in their sites next. kristen: thank you for talking about your article. i really appreciate it. you can check out more of the san francisco standards other original reporting on their website. ♪ (don't stop me now) ♪ ♪♪ ♪ (don't stop me) ♪ ♪ 'cause i'm having a good time ♪ ♪ having a good time ♪ ♪ i'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger ♪
