liz:e larst fran and so many people told us they are heartbroken it is closed. many also told us they understand the concerns, that they have seen the issues firsthand by living and working in the neighborhood. around lunchtime outside the now shuttered whole foods, a steady stream of disappointment. people who live and work near the midmarket location told us they were surprised at how abruptly the store closed, but not surprised by the reason. >> it was too dangerous. >> it's obvious. where the homeless people are, they steal. liz: it was monday that a spokesperson for whole foods announced the closure of the flagship san francisco store, which opened just over a year ago, citing safety reasons.

hours later the doors were locked, a far different message than the one projected five years ago. this article optimistically pronounced that san francisco's massive new whole foods was set to transform midmarket and that the 55,000 square-foot store would be the hub of a market that has seen an explosion of new housing and tech offices but lacks the conveniences and amenities of an established neighborhood. san francisco supervisor matt dorsey says the pandemic changed at all. >> there was a lot of optimism, then covid. there was a lot of things that happened with drug dealing. liz: many of the people we spoke with today, including dorsey, say shoplifting has been a major problem in addition to drug use. last year the store reduced its hours and shoppers were no longer offered grocery baskets. >> they had about 250 when they opened and all of them were taken as shoplifting influence.

liz: dorsey announced he is drafting a charter amendment to increase the san francisco police department stabbing, including new efforts to recruit and retain members. he says more police will allow the department to create units designated to tackling quality of life safety issues. >> i'm going to be honest, it was discouraging to walk to work this morning and realize the only thriving business on the corner of market and 8th street his drug dealing. we deserve better as a city and if we have a fully staffed police department, we will get it. liz: the story is temporarily closed. whole foods says it could reopen but there is no guarantee. dorsey's proposal would reestablish a minimum police staffing level of 2182 officers, 700 more than now. liz kreutz, abc7news. larry: a comcast crew is working

in san francisco to repair the fiber-optic cable authorities say was severed by a vandal. an open manhole withamed wires. the cutting of the cable knocked out san francisco's government live feed, which prompted the board of supervisors to recess today's meeting. they will resume tomorrow at 9:30. the closure of whole foods just one symptom. san francisco has a pr problem. many think it is unsafe. abc news insider joining us via zoom. let's go back to the vandalism that canceled the board of supes meeting. somebody lift up a manhole and cuts the cable, nuts. >> it is nuts. it is a heavy lift in a very visible area. i spoke with the board of supervisors president aaron peskin. he said, i don't know why they did it but it's clear they knew

what they were doing. they knew what cables to cut and they made a statement. we have not heard anything about what that statement is, but it is the latest. in the heart of san francisco, somebody goes down the manhole and slices the cable and there goes the board of supervisors meeting. it is why some people say the city is caught up in what they are referring to as the loop of doom. larry: let's get back to the whole foods situation, the second grocery store to announce closure in a week. when you have businesses deciding we want out, that tells you what's going on. >> it does. they couple things are going on, not the least of which is the entire changing of that neighborhood. you have to recall that store when it opened was supposed to be serving the techies. this was supposed to be a shining example of the midmarket revitalization with thousands of apartment buildings, twitter and

other tech companies were centering there. after covid, twitter has laid off two thirds of its workforce. other tech companies are moving out, in part because of hard economic times. we have four people on the ground. the people left on the ground are the homeless and drug addled. it didn't help that the city opened its drop in center directly across the street from whole foods a year ago. the store hoped close and the elements would drift away. they have stayed. here is the challenge when we talk about san francisco. we hear conflicting reports about violent crime, up or down. they say it is down, but here is the catch. one of the biggest complaints i have heard from customers and people in that area was what they call the bad behavior. it is down to people acting out, whether it is blatant shoplifting or screaming at

clerks, screaming at other customers, walking around wearing nothing more than a sleeping bag, it is that, and that is not against the law. acting out is becoming more more a fact of life in san francisco and you see it more because there are fewer people on the streets that were a buffer before. it is obvious, whether you are a techie or tourist, it is not necessarily the place you want to be right now. larry: when you talk about those issues on top of the recent murder of bob lee, the tech executive, perception is reality. if you feel unsafe, you are not coming back. phil: right, because here is the difference. crime stats tell you when something goes wrong, when there is an assault, murder, robbery. when you are walking through the

streets and seeing this behavior and you feel unsafe, are you have a step away, one step away from something bad going on? the police are being very mum about the killing of bob lee, the tech person. surveillance cameras caught him after he was stabbed. the feeling appears to be with the pd that this was targeted, wasn't random, because it was a stabbing rather than a shooting. we have yet to hear of any arrests or breaks in the case. that is going to add to the question of what is the safety factor in san francisco. larry: ongoing question and i'm sure we will continue to discuss it. thanks for the insight. kristen: the california department of water resources says the next few weeks will be critical in determining how much flooding we will see as the historic sierra snowpack melts.

it typically happens in april and may but this year experts say it could last until july. dwr is coordinating with the u.s. army corps of engineers to monitor reservoir levels. >> the objective is to release over an extended period a constant snowmelt flood release in addition to the normal water supply release to allow for the project to fill while avoiding larger capacity releases. kristen: the agencies are closely monitoring the two are related basin. it is historically high but now water levels are nearing the tops of levees. larry: months after massive storm surge, f is slowly rebuilding. as dustin dorsey explains, the journey has not been easy and is not closed over for so many business owners. dustin: in capitola, a beautiful day full of sunshine, blue skies, and the calming sounds of construction.

visited in january, promising aid. pres. biden: the country is here for you. we are not leaving until things are built back better. dustin: the months since president biden waved goodbye, these owners and contractors say they have not received any federal aid and the process to request it has been challenging. >> why is this three months later and these people that are suffering are not getting any money? somebody help. dustin: it has taken a lot of time and effort on these businesses to get to this point but they say even without state or federal help, the support of the community has led to where they are today. >> i want to open up, want to welcome people back into my home. dustin: at the nearly reopened capitola village, dustin dorsey, abc7news. kristen: facial recognition and your privacy. a new bill in california could limit the technology.

to limit the use of facial recognition technology by police. the state assembly held its first hearing on ab 642. article the goal for my legislation is to make it the most restrictive, create the greatest number of guardrails on this technology in our state. kristen: this bill would not ban facial recognition technology but would not allow for arrests based off of a match. it would require law enforcement agencies to use systems with an accuracy rate of at least 98% and there would be civil penalties for misuse. opponents have voiced concerns about the potential for mistaken identity and the impact on immigration cases, abortion, and gender affirming care. the bill will be reviewed by t e coumns super bloom excitement is sleeping southern california. people flocking to the antelope valley are checking out the poppies. kristen: they might be more

can allergies cause hoarseness? >> absolutely. postnasal drip, nasal congestion , especially when people lie down at night when they are stuffy, they will mouth breathe and all that dehydration on the upper airway has got the cause some strain on the vocal folds. leslie: can allergies cause ear pain? >> if the middle ear can't equalize pressure, your ears will feel full, they will pop. you might even get fluid inside the years. leslie: can pollen cause itchy skin? >> for certain people who are very sensitive, pollen going directly onto the skin can cause an issue. leslie: does it help to consume raw, local honey? >> the plans that have airborne pollen actually are very dull looking, they don't have flowers. these don't visit them. you should buy local honey.

the expectation for helping your allergies should be relatively low. leslie: what can help is keeping windows closed at home and the car and run your ac on the recirculation mode. what can help nasal symptoms? >> hardly a day goes by when i don't have a patient tell me how much better they have been because they have been wearing their mask. a lot of them are telling me, i'm going to wear this outside because it does help. any mask is helpful. leslie: what helps eye symptoms? >> wearing a good pair of sunglasses is very helpful because the eye symptoms are from pollen going directly into the eyes. but the eyedrop in and you will be much better off. leslie: leslie brinkley, abc7news. larry: back to the super bloom in southern california. kristen: beautiful but i am sneezing looking at the pictures. leo: poppies are popping and folks are flocking to the poppy

kristen: the epa is launching an effort to eliminate forever chemicals from the nation's drinking water. could r specificy area that solutions. spencer joins us with a look. spencer: theown as pfas, complex group of chemicals used in everyday products. the source of pollution can change depending on where you live. >> this represents one of the pfas. spencer: toxic samples on the ball represent years of hard work. she and her collaborators at the estuary institute spent a decade tracking chemicals known as pfas . >> they can harm organ systems, the kidneys come of the liver, london breed deductive and immune function. spencer: pfas are in the

crosshairs since the epa proposed tight new standards to protect drinking water. sutton says the situation is differt he bayou >> we want to make sure it is a mix. spencer: teams have used techniques like sampling storm runoff's to learn more. the goal, to identify which chemicals are present and where they come from. >> that is where we monitor pfas and look at it in the water and send -- and the sediment. we are concerned to see the levels in the build in the bay. spencer: common sources typically range from personal products and cleaning agents to clothing, carpet and more. once they are in the bay, they can potentially enter the marine chain. -- food chain. >> we have seen this with

mercury and we expect this with pfas. we have seen this with other contaminants in bodies of water like the bay. spencer: researchers are working to understand how pfas may be entering drains and wastewater systems and at what volumes. they believe the most efficient way to control the chemicals is with manufacturers. >> agencies aren't responsible for the presence of the contaminants and they can't just reap them away -- treat them away. we need to address manufacturing. spencer: a campaign that may accelerate as the epa develops tighter standards for drinking water and eventually the environment. limiting pfas pollution complicated and will likely happen in stages. the epa proposes starting with two of the chemicals or get in some cases manufacturers are replacing the pfas. pfas stands for poly floral

filthy you worry about your safety at some level. i think there is a concern there. i don't think people are worried about street crime as much. larry: i hear more about the filth and dirt and it is ugly but i hear people say i'm afraid to go into the city. it is concerning. kristen: i hear more about, not so much murder but things like car break-ins or robberies or retail theft. those things increase people's worry about safety. spencer: it is an issue. the perception is reality thing is something that has to be dealt with. michael: people in the city, i live in the city. the thing you hear about is, have you seen a police officer lately in your neighborhood? people ask that constantly larry: they are down 500 officers at least. kristen: even if they budget, they have a hard time recruiting. larry: something to tweet about

>> the blue part is a natural pigment that protects their sensitive parts from the uv rays of the sun. larry: at least they like jellyfish. kristen: at least. those are scary to me. larry: jellyfish are not your friends in general. kristen: but the sun is come the warmth is. spencer: the sun is. it will be around for a while. quite gusty right now, gusty tomorrow, surface wind speeds well over 30 miles per hour across the bay area. clear skies tonight under windy conditions, overnight lows in the low to mid 40's so not a very chilly overnight. tomorrow, cooler under sunny skies and windy conditions. highs from the low 50's at the coast to upper 50's, low 60's around the shoreline, low to mid 60's inland. here is the seven-day forecast.
