aggressive housing policy that protects winters, -- protects renters, fights displacement and treats our on housed with the dignity they deserve. >> she was going to really market the city economically. i don't think we have been doing that for a while. >> oakland city councilmember carol five says the mayor elect takes over with the backing of a unified city council. >> i think it really shows we are moving away from the status quo which is something that will definitely affect the city of oakland a lot more deeply. >> the outgoing mayor says she leaves the city in much better shape than when she took over. her advice to the new mayor -- build partnerships. >> build big partnerships, sometimes with people that don't agree, to really develop comprehensive solutions to

problems that have tremendous buy-in. ama: a former marin county deputy district attorney has filed an 18 million dollars lawsuit against his former boss. he says the district attorney fired him after he filed a discrimination complaint. jones says he was subject to scrutiny and job reviews his white coworkers were not asked to complete. >> i think i was terminated because i was speaking out on how i was being treated differently and the color of my skin. ama: the suit also claims a manager who spoke out against jones' termination face retaliation. he says other workers of color faced a hostile environment after a coworker put up photos of them in lack face.

graffiti. >> they do get graffiti and things like that, so it is stainless steel that is easily cleanable. the texture is defense against seekers, which is another type of graffiti. >> gaining entry is as easy as pushing attack with your hand or foot. >> they have this self-cleaning mechanism. >> and then certain bathrooms will be staffed to make sure that they stay feeling safe and comfortable. >> 25 will be operational throughout the city in the next four to five years. a media company has agreed to pay for the public toilets and maintain them in exchange for allowing them to install advertising kiosks in the downtown area. >> it does not cost anything to the city. >> these old ones will also be replaced to look more like the mothership. it sort of reminds you of the

series "star trek." i wonder if it is able to send me to a target location. to abc 7! beam me up, scotty! wow, never underestimate the power of a few willing to change the way we believe ourselves. -- we relieve ourselves. dan: she's still a little lightheaded from that trip. this may bring back memories of the $1.7 million toilet that was planned for noe valley. the state's holding that money until the city delivers a plan to use the money more efficiently. ama: coming up next, giving thanks by giving back. many who have made it a holiday tradition to

dan: check this out. a time lapse of the thanksgiving travel rush this morning. airport officials said they are expecting the highest passenger traffic levels since before the pandemic. >> it is so busy. you know, we have never experienced this. >> you -- we don't usually fly before thanksgiving for this reason. we usually stay local, and it's nuts. >> our flight is not until 11:00. we are here at 8:00. dan: sfl -- sfo warns parking garages may be full, but you can go online to reserve a spot ahead of time. in terms of delays and

cancellations, it has been incredibly quiet. things going smoothly, flights in and out, really no problems that sfo. the weather, of course, has cooperated. here's a live look at our oakland airport camera across the bay. you can see weather is clear there as well. everything that we can tell is moving smoothly. earlier today, we saw a relatively light foot traffic. smaller crowds allowed travelers to pass through security with very little hassle. ama: it took additional traffic enforcement personnel to help manage drop-offs and pickups at the airport. four people waiting to book christmas flights, there is still hope. today on our three :00 p.m. show, kristen sze spoke with the founder of scott's cheap flights about how to score cheap flights for this holiday season. >> i think the leisure travel market has fully rebounded if not higher, so i would expect at

christmas, we are going to see pretty similar. if you are hoping for a good deal for christmas and have not booked yet, time is running out. what you want to do is circle the date of 21 days before when you are hoping to travel as the sort of dropdead deadline to get your flight booked. if you are hoping to travel on december 22, circle december 1 as when you have to get that flight looked by no matter what. the reason i say 21 days, many fares have advance purchase requirement of, say, 21 days. on day 20, that previously cheapest fare expires. it is no longer available and the newest will be a couple hundred dollars more expensive. even if the fare is higher, if you need that flight, circle 21 days and get it booked before then. ama: good info. well, you won't need a holiday sweater for christmas today. sandhya: you will probably be able to get away with shorts in

state. as you look here wednesday night, could see more precipitation. thanksgiving is bright and mild after morning fog, bright for shoppers, but cooler weather friday. cooling continues into the weekend and early next week, we bring in that light level 1 system with scattered showers, chilly, frosty morning tuesday, crisp in the afternoon. overall, pattern looks fantastic. dan: it has become a tradition for many, waiting in line for honeybaked ham the day before thanksgiving. people we talked with say the mind moved pretty fast, though. they waited 30 to 45 minutes. it is not just ham. you can also get honeybaked turkey as well. ama: sounds good. it is all hands on deck in san francisco's tenderloin district. a nonprofit is serving up more than 2000 meals tomorrow.
