kristen: i'm kristen sze. san francisco's mayor announced her budget for the next two years. $14.6 billion each year. some of the biggest priorities include the homelessness crisis, cleanliness, and safety. larry: leah the newsroom with the details. the mayor has been criticized for not doing enough. reporter: here's how i see it. i can't help but compare the san francisco of today with the new york city in the early, mid 1990's. i know because i was there. the mayor was known for being somewhat indecisive. he lost to rudy giuliani because giuliani was seen as the defender of law and order. i'm not saying he was a good or a bad mayor. but he was perceived as a consistent politician at that time. i'm sure that the mayor doesn't want to be compared to

rudy giuliani, but today she seemed to borrow a page from his book. >> everybody is happy today because it's money day. reporter: but the reality is that there is less of it coming in, forcing the mayor and city departments to balance a budget by cutting 700 $80 million -- $780 million in expenses. the funding to try to get people off the streets and into shelters and supportive housing will in fact increase by 3%. >> of course, not everyone is going to be happy about the decisions that i have made to take resources but are not being used -- that are not being used and spend them on people that we know need help and support now. and i don't really care. reporter: the budget will also try to build back police staffing, funding 220 new police officers over the next two years. police chief williams got said staffing is a huge -- scott said staffing is a huge mountain to climb. >> don't talk about it.

be about it. join the san francisco police department. be the change you want to say. reporter: as part of the public safety package, the mayor underlines the efforts to shut down the open air fentanyl market have already started. programs to bring people into care and rehabilitation will be expanded. but a warning to those programs that don't deliver results -- >> we are doing a deeper dive, and if you are delivering, you get funded and then some. if you are not delivering, we are taking away dollars. reporter: part of the efforts to restore downtown will be contingent on how safe people feel. another factor is to bring new businesses in by delivering tax incentives. >> i know some of these decisions are not going to be popular. but again, i don't care. i didn't become mayor to be -- to be afraid to do this job the way it needs to be done.

reporter: those tax cuts or tax delays will of course have an impact on what the city brings in. but the mayor thinks that is the only way to attract businesses. the board of supervisors has to approve the budget so the mayor can sign it by august 1. larry: thank you. phil matier now, gi take on the mayor's budget proposal and tone today. i thought i was listening to bill belichick -- "no days off!" very serious. >> that was deliberate. the mayor needs to project an image out there that she's going to get it done. the times are going to change. she's going to do the walk and the city is going to do the walk. you've got to look at the obvious. san francisco's spending more than most states spend in terms of their budget. a $14 billion, $15 billion budget here.

$6.5 billion san jose which has more people than san francisco is at $5.2 billion. where's the money going? what is it doing? if this was a association, it would be about $70,000 being spent per citizen of san francisco. are you getting anything for it? or is it going around and around? that's what she's got to deliver on. the homeless, the streets, because that is the most visible. otherwise the whole thing falls apart. larry: we go through this every year with the homeless situation, drugs, crime. can the way this is laid out actually address those issues and make the changes we have been talking about forever here? >> she wants more cops. in order to get more cops in san francisco, you've got to give us much money as you can and cut the nonprofits -- keep everybody happy. you have to have the social services increase and the housing increase. you have to increase everybody's

, because otherwise it looks like you are cracking down and saying it is a crimes thing versus a social remedy situation. are we going to see a change? that is really what remains to be seen. you said we have heard it before. we heard the tough talk and that we are going to be spending here. proof this year is actually on how many people are in the downtown and how many tourists are coming or not coming. this is the difference. the difference is, in past years, we have been able to overlook a lot of what's not getting done because so much else was happening. this year, it's not like that. it's a very empty streetscape and people are saying what's going on? larry: all of these issues with safety are tied together so they have to be addressed. while this proposal pass -- will this proposal pass? >> i think it's going to pass. two years ago, there would've been a fight on this. but their constituents want it. want it here, in

san jose. the tug before is gone. larry: violence in san francisco . coming up at 4:30 p.m., what the numbers are really telling us. kristen: happening now -- congress is expected to vote shortly on the debt ceiling deal. it passed a procedural rule earlier, as democrats crossed the aisle to keep it from failing. several republicans are balking at the legislation was hatched -- which has created some uncertainty. eric swalwell did told abc7 the prospect of a default is enough for them to vote yes. >> it is not a perfect deal, but the truth is, there is an alternative. if we default, my constituents will see their social security, medicare payments put at risk, what they paid into themselves, their children's college funds, their own retirement savings all but at risk,. -- put at risk. kristen: the boat is expected to happen two hours from now.

jumpstart on potential public safety power shut offs. >> when we have an actual psps event, we can gather information on how long it is going to take us to complete these patrols. we are also able to look for any other hazards, so we can mitigate them now. it also helps us predict the timing it will take for us to restore power to customers during an actual event. kristen: pg&e says power is not going to be shut off during the inspections. larry: a proposal for what would be the bay area's largest safe rv parking site could be appr soon. up to 85 vehicles. are softly reporter has a closer -- our south bay reporter has a closer look at the proposal. reporter: it is hard to see that this man could become the side of a largest -- the largest rv community supportive parking program. >> we wanted to do this.

in favor of safe parking sites but points to programs in mountain view and across the country that have been successful. >> crime goes down. vandalism goes down. the cost efficiency goes up. it is a lower cost. and then you are starting people on track for permanent housing. in many cases, you are literally saving their lives. reporter: he had having permanent housing options following an interim stay is critical. >> it is critical there is enough permanent housing in the city and the county, they need to do a better job in making sure there is land available for the permanent housing. reporter: the council of such a vote on whether to approve the least june 6. larry: dramatic video a tesla being plucked out of the water in pescadero today. the car plunged into the pond after careening over the side of highway 1 and a deadly crash yesterday. chp says the ted -- says that tesla collided with a subaru. both cars went into the water. two men or pronounced dead at the scene. kristen: crime in san francisco

community. reducing organizational emissions by 50% by 2030 in order to achieve that zero by 2050. the goals are lofty. but this public health professor says the stakes are high as well. >> the health-care industry is a significant contributor to climate change accounting for between 8% and 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the u.s. and a significant portion of their emissions come from goods and services required by the hospital. reporter: things like operating rooms and even food for patients, all negative contributors. they aim to make many changes such as moving to an electric ambulance fleet, avoiding low value testing and partnering with the company universal meals to serve only plant-based food. what other hospital systems are providing this kind of food? >> we are excited to be the first public hospital system in the nation to provide universal meals. having plant-based meals at the hospital, we are really doing a beautiful service not only to county residents but also to the

claimant by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. reporter: they say they will -- there will be no decrease in quality of care and they say the changes will only benefit the community. >> what we can do to guard our planet and help protect the health of all of us, and part of our resilience goal is to give patients the tools they need to be healthy and stay safe. kristen: a lawsuit johnson & johnson alleging its talk-based baby powder causes cancer is now underway in oakland. lawyers for anthony hernandez valdes blame their client's mesothelioma on j&j products. they say the products are safe and does not cause cancer. this child is the first since j&j filed for bankruptcy two years ago. forward due to valdez's failing

we will break down the data in just a moment. first a prospective from police -- a perspective from police. we sat down with the president of the san francisco's police officers' association. how often do you see cases similar to that? >> more than i want to see. reporter: how many? >> more like 6, 7 kids ganging up, attacking one or two people. attacking elderlies, it feels like there's at least one every week. reporter: one every week? >> at least. reporter: nearly updated that shows there have been 131 more robberies across the city so far this year compared to this time last year. bringing the total to 1003 since january. police attribute some of that increase to juvenile crime. they say juveniles around 12 to 14 years old. > they are working on groups -- >> they are working in groups,

coming in and out of the city. >> some are from the east bay, some have ran away from group homes down south or from the valley, coming up to san francisco. i think they feel like, you know, who is going to check me? reporter: last week, opd arrested nine juveniles believed to be responsible for 35 robberies in oakland. >> there were some crossover between some of the juveniles they arrested that in this city we have come in contact with those juveniles. reporter: how many of them? >> probably three or four other same ones. they are part of this group -- this clique. one of the youngest ones we ran into was 11 years old at the time they committed an assault. reporter: she says this year, attacks involving juveniles are getting more violent. often targeting elderly victims. but there's not enough data out yet to discern the uptake in violent robberies across the city. it is solely tied to juveniles.

the number of arrests in san francisco has gone dramatically over the last two decades. >> it is very small numbers now. reporter: this is a senior research further for the center on juvenile criminal justice. according to crime data, in 1995, more than 500 juveniles were arrested for robberies in san francisco. in 2010, that number dropped to 180. from 2019 through 2021, those numbers dropped again into the 20's. the team is still waiting for the exact number of juvenile arrests sfpd made so far this year. >> there's hardly a juvenile crime wave. reporter: a crime wave? no. but an uptick? yes. there's been a steady increase of juveniles comtting serious and violent felonies, 707b offenses. in march, there were 74 juvenile cases referred to court, which is 45% higher than the average

last year. 3 admissions0 to juvenile hall -- 30 admissions to juvenile hall. >> there's a basis for saying there's an increase in juvenile crime but we have to remember the numbers are very small. reporter: sf pd data shows there's been a slight uptick in homicides and motor vehicle thefts across the city this year but other violent crimes ke rapes, assaults, burglary and larceny theft have gone down this year compared to last year. larceny theft accounting for the most crimes committ more than 11,000 peer were down from 13,000 last year. >> so petty theft. going into like walgreens or target. some organized retail theft. what is more sophisticated, we always feel like we are always playing catch up. reporter: do you see the problem getting better in san francisco? >> not until you change the law. not until there's some teeth within the law.

reporter: the san francisco poa has long supported repealing prop but supporters of the legislation argue california is one of 12 states what some of the toughest property crime laws in the country. >> in california, you have to steal $900 worth of material before it becomes a felony. in texas, $2500 worth of material. the average for most states in the u.s. is about 1100 to $1400 worth of goods before your crime becomes a felony. it's not a matter of having a weak love. -- a weak law. reporter: weak or the reality is this. the department is bracing to lose up to 120 police officers by the end of june due to retirements. last year, he said this about crime in san francisco. >> it is going to stay the same. that's being real. that's giving you the honest answer. reporter: do you stand by that

statement? >> oh, yeah. that has not changed. ys. it will take years. -- yes. it will take years to write the ship, so to speak. reporter: how many years? >> at minimum, five years. maximum, maybe 10. reporter: stephanie sierra, abc7 news. kristen: if you would like to get in touch with the iteam, you can call the number on your screen or go to abc7news.com/iteam. larry: bringing tourists back to san francisco. plus the denver nuggets and happiest place on earth?

we live here. we have our own sense about what san francisco's all about. if you are in the midwest, this might strike you perfectly, as to what appeals to you as opposed to you, living here. kristen: where was the shot of someone hiking through the foggy redwood forest? something like that. >> maybe that is in the clips they could not put in. there's so much to see and do. so many beautiful places that are not in there. people need to come here and discover for themselves. kristen: i'm sure you discovered airplane seats are getting kind of small. they want the faa to conduct airplane evacuation tests with more seat tests did not include senior citizens or people with mobility issues.

this is premium plus. we have got to look at economy. we are talking about the 17 inch width seat that more common now. does it prevent people from getting out when they need to? larry: it is funny how you say -- that is premium plus. that is so luxurious. two inches more. kristen: it reclines three inches more. that's not nothing. [laughter] >> the focus of the story seems to be this is an evacuation issue versus a comfort issue. isn't it a comfort issue also? larry: it is both. in an actual emergency, is going to be pandemonium. is going to be hard getting out no matter what is going on. kristen: an inch or is not going to help you but i guess they did the tests without having the luggage. again, not the full airplane. maybe they should try that and see how it goes. i think we agree, we need bigger seats.

kristen: the seats have gotten smaller and we have gotten bigger on average as a whole. larry: not spencer. [laughter] mr. 11% body fat. the nba finals start tomorrow here on abc7. an unusual proposal from colorado's governor. he is betting disney world on the maybe finals here. the governor is offering up a friendly but for the happiest place on earth, tweeting florida governor ron desantis saying if the denver nuggets beat the miami heat, disney world will move to colorado -- calling the state the actual happiest place on earth. i have a twist on the bet. it should be ron desantis would have to ride on "it's a small world" all day long. kristen: i think it is a little bit relevant to mention the governor of colorado's a democrat. larry: well, anybody else want
