outside his front doorstep. >> if you look outside at the traffic at nighttime when the headlines -- headlights were on, it was thick. kids are going to school and how they have to step over used condoms. it has gone from 30 women walking the street along east 15th 20, and it is all thanks to these -- to zero, and it is all thanks to these traffic barricades. but the problem did not go far. just ask her. >> i saw one of face of one of the ladies. stephanie: how often do you see that? >> frequently. every day. usually. stephanie: she lives at the corner of 21st and international boulevard. >> she went like the police were called. stephanie: trafficking operations have long plagued

this area, but recent construction push the problem directly across from saint anthony's grade school back in february. father gabriel, the parish pastor, told us this -- father gabriel: experience those kinds. it was a lot. the sake of my parishioners. stephanie: father, prayers alone will not solve this problem. father gabriel: right. we need action. stephanie: the irony is the action taken to deter the problem away from saint anthony's may be pushing it to other schools. in february, the alleged sex work and trafficking operations crowded at least seventh -- seven blocks from east 15th two 20 2nd avenue. police sources told the i.t. and now the operations are coming more discrete, occasionally visible in the little saigon neighborhood, but parents are still reporting concerns about four schools nearby, including franklin elementary school, garfield elementary school, fore

education, and roosevelt middle school. the i.t. met with a san antonio neighborhood coalition, a group oncern a neighbor working to address them. recruiters, whatever, bay park outside the schools, and they try to attract girls to come and talk within, get in there, come and see if they can get them to participate. >> younger ladies, maybe 14, 16 years old. >> some concerns that have been brought up from my afterschool program staff. stephanie: marcella is the managing director for the east bay aging youth center and oversees the afterschool program at roosevelt full. >> we did have a situation where two of our middle school students were, broad daylight, when the bell rang, were literally, like, taken into a

car, thrown on the backseat. don't know for what purposes. stephanie: she says she has not personally witnessed anyone recruit students on campus but is worried it may be happening down the street, where students hang out after school. >> known to go to the san antonio park, which is about a block away from our school, and there have been very suspicious individuals or even cars. stephanie: the san antonio neighborhood coalition's meeting to discuss new efforts to crack down and make the existing barricades permanent. >> i want to make sure that, because some of the activity is getting diverted to other neighborhoods, that we are also responsive to those neighbors. stephanie: oakland city council president nikki represents the area. do you support making the barricades permanent? >> that is absolutely something i am committed to doing. we are looking at how we can do that. stephanie: will you ensure there is money in the budget for that?

>> i am absolutely going to make sure we make a design for how the diverters remain and how -- and the funding to make them remain. stephanie:stephanie: for now, a temporary fix to a decades-old problem. >> nobody wants to risk losing these barricades. stephanie: bringing back some peace to east oakland. to add to that, many of the families who live along east 15th told us they actually never met until these barricades were put up, and now they see each other regularly as they water the plants that surround the barriers we just showed you. so it is great to see the community come together in that way. dan, the question now is, will more be needed around these other great schools? and that is something council president bas is looking into. dan: speaking of that, what happens to the other schools? stephanie: we are told help is coming. the mayor launched a human trafficking advisory council, and they will be distributing grants that will help deter the

crime, protect students in this area, and provide the victims with resources like access to food and shelter. dan: very good. thank you, stephanie. if you would like to get in touch with the i-team, call the number on your screen, or go to abc7news.com/iteam. ama: a preliminary hearing date has been set in the case of bob lee's murder, a day after the suspect entered a not guilty plea. today the judge scheduled nima momeni to be back in court on may 30 for the preliminary hearing. he is being held without b ail. authorities say momeni stabbed lee multiple times after argument last month. lee, the founder of cash app, died at the hospital hours later. dan: the follow continues in antioch and the police department and bat texting scandal that has rocked the department. a small but vocal group of community activists marched through downtown martinez to contra costa county superior court. the message is clear, they want justice. abc 7 news reporter anser

evidence. >> we know the community wants justice. the community wanted something done in their favor finally come and it's like we've seen the smoking gun, we have proof of corruption at the highest levels, and we just, we need it now. >> we don't have systems that our -- are accountab need to demand those. anser: among the crowd was antioch mayor lamar thorpe. mayor thorpe: what we are talking about is an officer within our administrative process. meaning we have an investigation. that is how do process works. anser: antioch police chief steven ford has always maintained that the officers are retired -- offered due process. mayor thorpe believes for those involved in the texting scandal, that is an administrative process. mayor thorpe: this is an

administrative process, what we are talking about is fact that was determined by the fbi, the federal bureau at the investigation, that is a function of the justice department united states of america. i don't know what more investigation you need to fire them. anser: i'm anser hassan, abc 7 news. ama: former pro hall of famer jim brown has died he was 87. brown was more than just a football player can he was also an actor and also an activist. nfl commissioner roger goodell said today "jim brown was a gifted athlete and one of the most dominant players to ever step on any athletic field but also a cultural figure who helped promote change." dan: in southern california, it has been a week of controversy as the dodgers decided to disinvest -- disinvited the sisters of indulgence from pride night, following an outcry by the catholic community.

reporter rob hayes from our sister station has both sides. rob: the dodgers pride night is supposed to be a chance to celebrate diversity and inclusion, but when the word got out that the dodgers were going to give out a award to this group of queer and transsexual nun and personally -- impersonators, they were having none of that -- >> they mocked the eucharist, this is a vicious group. rob: bill is president of the catholic league when he heard sisters of perpetual indulgence were slated to be honored by the dodgers at maximum's event, he contacted the major league baseball commissioner and organize a massive email campaign. >> we will always get emails that people have sent to the person who we claim has offended us, they send some of them to a speed we got flooded. i've never seen somebody in a long time. rob: and it apparently works. earlier this week, the dodgers announced they would no longer

be honoring the sisters of perpetual indulgence on pride night. that was not sitting well with numbers of the group. >> we are not a religious organization to we are also not an anti-religious organization could what we are anti-is people that use of religion as a weapon against our community. rob: local lgbtq leaders also questioning the dodgers decision against the sisters >> to reverse the decision of an award to an organization that is incredibly deserving of it is so disappointing. rob: rob hayes, abc 7 news. ama: is it better to rent or own? in the expensive bay area, sometimes that decision is made for you. what experts say is the right choice. plus -- >> it was shiny, went to look at it, dropped it, did not want to tell us, and thought the best thing to deal with it is just to flush it down and hide the crime, so. [laughs] dan: oh, wow, her ring was flush. 14 months later, it was found.

tonight, you will meet the workers who pulled off a miracle. sandhya: i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. gusty winds and a strong marine layer in

ugh. no signal. i don't have home internet. oh, that's a red flag. your mom looks a lot like me. yeah, couple of hotties. thank you? there's dead spots all over this place. there really are. oh wow. nothing. are you getting a good signal?

no, i'm not. it's time for real home internet. get xfinity internet for just $25 a month with no annual contract during our xfinity 10g network launch celebration. only from xfinity. dan: as you well know, it has become more expensive to buy a home after the raised interest rates 10 times since last march. so does renting make more sense? ama: abc 7 news reporter leah melendez is looking at the data for two of the bay areas biggest cities, san francisco and san jose, lyanne. lyanne: right. when you move, you always have

this dilemma, should i buy, rent, weight? what should i do? most of us still believe in homeownership as part of that american dream, but deciding whether to rent or buy in places like the bay area really depends on the years you intend to live here. to live, san jose makes more sense to rent banta by followed closely by the san francisco bay, which includes oakland and berkeley. in the san francisco metro area, the average rent is just over 3000 a month. that was based on rent index, which took into account all rental units. but when it comes to homeownership, the average monthly mortgage in san jose was $9,372, and an san f 7100 $625. todd mccullough is currently renting and is waiting for the

right moment and the right price. >> price is largely based upon the fed kind of calming down right now. so putting it down as monthly costs that really start to bleed income as you are paying significant fees. lyanne: the report was put together by clever real estate, and most real estate agents will agree, and the short-term, renting makes more sense. >> say you buy a condominium, for the first three years, you are actually better off renting versus buying, but if you hold on, for example, for five years, you are ahead of the game, and it is better to own. lyanne: if you are looking long term, now baby be the time to buy. according to a national report, san francisco has suffered the largest decline in home sales prices. in april 2022, the median sales price was $1.3 million.

one year later, april 2023, it decreased to 1,000,100 $25,000. down 13.5%. >> two years ago, a buyer had to write 10 offers and go hundreds of thousand dollars over to buy what they wanted. that is no longer the case. now they can pick and choose a little bit. lyanne: on the other hand, pittsburgh, new orleans, and chicago were the top big cities to buy rather than to rent. ok, so they could afford to purchase the median priced house. that was during the first quarter of 2023, and that is given to us by the california association of realtors. but no doubt, interest rates have had a big impact on the housing market. dan: sure. lyanne: but remember when your parents used to say, "oh, we only used to pay this amount," you know. dan: i think the house that i grew up in, it was

in 1970 something. lyanne: wow. dan: you could buy a whole block of a neighborhood. a new document or, "california dreaming: moving to texas" follows eight former californians for a year. you will find the surprising things we learned about the supposedly california exodus to the lone star state. it is streaming on demand on the abc 7 bay area app. ama: the weekend is upon us. a little breezy. dan: but you don't want to move to texas or anywhere else in this kind of weather, sandhya? sandhya: it is so nice outside, no doubt about appeared we have a mild mediterranean climate, dan and ama. let's take a look at the temperature change. good evening, everyone. we are running a little cooler today almost everywhere compared to yesterday. onshore winds playing a role, gusting right now at 30 miles an hour sfo, 25 outward rio vista,

dan: the california academy of sciences is launching a program that could help preserve a critical spice of california's environmental history. think of it like a roadmap tracing the plants and flowers and animals that have populated this state for years. but translating that map, is the tricky part. at the california academy of sciences, preserving samples is a painstaking business. but just like staffing staffing family photo albums, you will fill up a lot of shelf space. just ask this botany curator. >>. >> you have to come here and literally rifled through the collection. dan: you may want to block out some time. dr. jacobs oversees more than 2 million specimens, filling hundreds of shells and file folders, and spanning centuries. some collected by the likes of former curator alice eastwood, who is credited with saving them after the 1906 earthquake. >> she started in the late 1800s

here at the academy and worked the way up to her 90's, i believe. we are the sixth largest herbarium in north america, and the largest west of the rockies. dan: to make sure the botanical data survives for centuries to come, the academy is now launching an accelerated program to digitize the collection. first, they turned to a dots du brought in a conveyor system that is 10 times the speed and is rummaging through thousands of specimens a day. >> a year from now we hope to have one million specimens imaged, and in two years or so we are hoping to have those fully transcribed and geo-referenced. dan: look closely at some of the specimens, and you will see the elegant handwriting that ai and general systems can have trouble deciphering. enter dr. rebecca johnson. she says the academy is turning to the public for help. later this summer, citizen

scientists will be able to log onto a open database and help transcribe the information into a digital format. >> we will be taking the labeled data along with a beautiful picture of the plant and will be asking people to help us fill in things like the locality. what does it say? where does it say this was found? can you read this better than the computer and you type it in. dan: it is a high-tech army that would have likely made devoted collectors like alice eastwood proud. the academy believes making the historic data available in a digital format could help researchers better able to understand the diversity of california and the west, and perhaps provide vital clues in the age of climate change. >> to try to understand how things may change in the future, with a changing climate and a changing environment. it can all give us some insight into what are expect. dan: a botanical roadmap centuries in the making.

now, the academy is working with the citizens science web portal. we will be following their progress, of course. really fascinating work. we will update you as soon as the labeling project is ready to go. ama: is it a good time to garden? we take a look at the weekend forecast, coming up. and don't miss the special "the little mermaid" edition of the red carpet this weekend. >> ♪ part of that world ♪ ama: we are going to take inside the world premiere of the new live-action disney movie featuring interviews with haley bailey, and the all-star cast. and what the original voice of ariel told us about halle's performance. it airs tomorrow night at 10:00 here on abc7.

politicians in america, and it is a huge job. one that requires energy. long hours. travel, and constant engagement. it is indeed delicate to question her cognitive acuity, but it's not unfair ultimately, what really matters is what. is best for all of california, the needs of many. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. ama: thank you for joining us tonight. i am ama daetz. dan: and i am dan ashley, for sandhya patel and larry beil and all these kids in the studio, we appreciate your time. see you at 11:00.
