looking into these big issues, as well as abc 7 insider phil matier. ama: let's moment when the san francisco board of supervisors took the meeting outside. abc 7 news reporter melanie woodrow was there. melanie: a special off-site meeting to address the outdoor drug crisis. mayor london breed said something has to change. mayor speaking on both sides of our mouth spirit on the one hand, we want change, and on the other hand, we are willing to let people get away with murder. melanie: supervisor aaron peskin said the open air drug problem is not a new one but one that is so visible many san francisco's do not feel safe. supervisor peskin: even though it is as safe or safer than it was prior to the pandemic -- melanie: he was interrupted by attendees who did not want to wait for the public comment

period. >> [indiscernible] melanie: in a statement to abc 7 news, a supervisor said department of emergency management is coordinating a pilot program, though it is unclear what they are piloting beyond arrests of drug users to he said it is not moderate or common sense. it is counterproductive >> we have proposals that are on the table, that will work with adult promotion, work with the sheriff's department to say if you are an addict and on the verge of overdosing, we need to have public health, sheriff's office, and probation work together so we can compel people into treatment. melanie: while talking with the supervisor, our media partners at san francisco standard captured in police tackling someone. officers observed someoar h ahi. ne tfthpeoneingscord ay. sfpd said criminal charges are

pending. in san francisco, melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. ama: a short time ago, supervisor aaron peskin released a statement about the meeting and the arrest that melanie just mentioned. he said in part, if we can't guarantee everyone's safety when the mayor and her security team are present, we have lost control of our public realms." he said they are committed to opening the market within 90 days. dan: it has been months since mayor london breed released her plan to revitalize the downtown area. abc 7 news reporter lian melendez has more. mayor breed: public safety concerns, a spiraling fentanyl crisis, empty offices, shuttered businesses. lyanne: that was february 9 of this year, when mayor london breed highlighted several priorities, including making downtown clean and safer environment. today we took a closer look at the midmarket area of san

francisco after the city agreed to extend the contract of the safety ambassadors who provide nonpolice responses. someone who works on the streets told us in the past months or so, things have slightly improved. a greater police presence seems to be the main reason. in late march, the board of supervisors voted to pay for police overtime in response to the staff shortage within that department. on may 1, the state also deployed the national guard and chp patrols to crack down on drug dealings, but residents here are mixed about the results so far. >> being harassed by people and the open air drug market and the fact that there is absolutely no enforcement at all. >> some people so there are less people on the streets. lyanne: commerce survey said three of four people think the city is on the wrong track. >> that's no surprise for us.

we have been calling this out for a while. but i do agree with the mayor that there's change happening right now, and people are feeling this tipping point and san francisco p we could do better. lyanne: felicia jones sees wealth and disparities in the community. she said that it's time to turn to community organizations in the fight against drug addiction p trust us with the money, take the handcuffs off us, let us be an impact in our community, because we are the experts. lyanne: three months after presenting the city's roadmap, today, mayor the city alone cannot fix the problems. mayor breed: we've got work to do, but let's embrace that work. let's chase those opportunities. let's think bigger than we ever have before, and we will make magic happen in san francisco again. lyanne: in san francisco, lien melendez, abc 7 news. -- lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. dan: we want to bring in abc 7

news insider phil matier. ama: 77% say the city is going in the wrong direction. last year, it was 76%. how in san francisco turn this trend around? what can be done? phil: it's going to be tough. 73% said the quality of life has gone down. concerns about public safety have more than doubled in that same time period. what can be done? it depends on who you are listening to. aaron peskin, who sits on the board of supervisors, said that his time, rather than going for aspirational solutions, to get down to the nitty-gritty and do simple things like safe streets, clean streets, let's get it going. dan: to that end, one of the measures was a plan to arrest people doing drugs. again, not the aspirational think of just the practical. phil: and there you have a trip word, "plan to arrest," which triggers the idea of the war on drugs, the idea of putting people in jail for possession of

narcotics or drugs, something that the state of california has gone the opposite direction in. if anything, we want to decriminalize it. with the mayor is talking about is yes, detaining people. if somebody is passed out on the sidewalk, on drugs, the idea would be to pick them up, the police do it or whoever do it, and taken to a facility -- dan: not file criminal charges. phil: and have them sober up and keep them there for a while. then they would be given a citation for public intoxication, an old one, not possession of drugs, public intoxication. if you get three of those, then they would refer you to drug court. it's a way to clock who is doing it, where they are, what they need, rather than have them sober up and walk then say, what is the next that? but even the word "attention" or "arrest" has raised hackles in the people in the civil liberties union, saying wait a minute, that is the return of the war own drugs. both sides need to calm down. ama: talking about san

francisco's police force, we do not even have the numbers where we should be. is this more fighting the perception or facing the facts about what is going on? phil: it is a double-edged sword. that was what was interesting about this chamber breakfast, you have aaron peskin and the chamber saying we have to get tough, but mayor saying -- mayor london breed saying look, we cannot have the media telling an outside story, we have to tell our story, a positive story. you have a family problem, but the neighbors are hearing it, and they know what is going on, so you've got to take care of both. there's also a time element involved. this has to start happening now, otherwise the city is really at a crossroads, and that is what everyone seems to be agreeing on. we are at a crossroads, and the public is speaking out across the board. dan: you hear it in the streets as you talk to people. i mean, there's a change in tone. phil: this is also an election year coming up, so the ears of

city hall get a lot bigger. ama: the super bowl is coming, so they have a lot of work to do before we bring in all these people. phil: that's right. we will see whether it gets done or not. ama: thank you. dan: building a better bay area takes all of us can include in you, of course. share your ideas and see what other people have come up with. check out abc7news.com/abetter bayarea. ama: with fewer kids in california schools, what can be done to turn it around? see what the state superintendent has planned to reverse declining enrollment.

that link through stories. my mom told me mostly, like, chinese myths. the monkey king was a favorite. she told me lots of stories about the monkey king when i was a kid. so this right here is towards the beginning of the book. this is the monkey king interacting with a chinese door god. i did go through a period of time when i was embarrassed and ashamed of my own cultural heritage. i was ashamed of even the way i looked, and this panel right here kind of symbolizes my childhood desire to be white. [laughs] it took me five years to finish the book. and at that point, i had graduated college, i was a high school teacher, and i began working this stuff out. the book is divided into three different sections. one section is about the monkey king, a figure from chinese legend. the second section is about a young chinese-american boy growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, and the third is this living embodiment

of the negative asian-american stereotypes i grew up with. the book is set loosely in my own childhood, so 1980's, early 1990's. but the show, we made the decision early on that it would be set now. >> the you have a lab partner yet? >> is there a gene wang here? >> wang. >> this is a new student who is chinese like you. he will tag along to all of your classes. except math. he's way ahead of you in math. gene: i think the core of both the book and the show are the same. it is about a kid who is struggling with self acceptance, you know, he has a piece of himself that he is very embarrassed about, and the story is about how he eventually figures out how to accept that piece and even take pride in it. >> what is going on? >> i'm not from this world. gene: to finally get included in

american stories, it's -- there's something affirming about that, you know, there something that says, you are no longer a foreigner, you are actually a part of this. our stories are worthy of being on the page and worthy of being on the screen. dan: good for him. powerful themes. ama: yes. it is available to stream on disney+, starting tomorrow. california attorney bonta has agreed to review the san francisco district attorney's decision not to file charges in the decision of the killing of banko brown, who was shot and killed by a walgreens security guard late last month. the guard said he was acting in self-defense said there was not sufficient evidence to press charges. a spokesperson for banko said they will look into whether jenkins'decision was an abuse of discretion. dan: let's turn our attention one last time to the forecast.

the 49ers are optimistic brock purdy will be ready to go in the season opener, but coach kyle shanahan also didn't say "only god knows the timeline," right? and he was not available for comment. pretty suffered an elbow injury, had surgery in march, recovery going well to the extent that party is set to begin drawing next week. he replaced jimmy garoppolo last year, who was tremendous. he is qb1 if he is ready, however -- kyle: only god knows. it's all estimates. so it depends on what the quote people have got for me, but we are hoping for week one. >> were not trying to label any time or anything like that, but for sure, that is the goal, right? we want to be ready for, you know, the season, and if that is the case, great. but like i said, we are taking it one day at a time. i don't want to say anything that, you know, we regret down the road or whatever. larry: purdy can't throw yet, so trey lance is getting most of the snaps in practice today with

sam donald behind him, although shanahan said he expects it to even out. lance has tightened up his throwing motion, and we are hearing a lot about a better based. he lacks experience that is one thing sam donald has, but he has played on losing teams for carolina. he will have a lot of depth at the quarterback. >> i feel like i'm having fun playing football again. it is hard my first year especially. last year, i thought i would be able to get close to that point, not having to be so stressed and worried and have a better understanding of offense and defense, and i finally feel like i'm able to just have fun. >> this is the best i have felt for sure. >> just compete, you know, i think that is the biggest thing, is just competing, and, you know, like i said, whether it is first-team or second-team reps, i'm ready to go. larry: interesting admission, trey lance admitted he is stressed out. lebron james, not only a great basketball player, he has a master media manipulator, so

when he dropped a "i'm not sure about the future" last night, the press dropped the "lebron might retire" stories, but then reported that he might rather stay with steph curry instead of the lakers paired are we living in fantasy land or what? you've got to say a curry and lebron duo would be great. lebron wants the lakers to add more talent to the roster. the best way to do that is to flow possible retirement plans. it's called leverage. we will see. speaking of steph, he just won the nba's kareem abdul-jabbar social justice champion award, and with that comes a $100,000 donation to the university of san francisco institute for nonviolence and social justice on cory's behalf. -- curry's behalf. kareem tweeting is congratulations. this is not a baseball player, but a squirrel startles fans with a sprint across the top of the fence.

[laughter] this furry creature is coming at us! and then the squirrel leaps to the ground. he did let and that he did land safety. dan: like a lion.
