6:01 pm
cregan said it began with an argument between two groups. so far, no arrests. two weeks ago, another 15-year-old was shot and killed in the same roseland neighborhood. >> if this is not a wake-up call for santa rosa, i don't know what is. phil: the chief says -- cornell: the chief says he is seeing a rise in gang violence. >> one of the things that i important for me is working on, what are some of the root causes of violence? i are 15-year-old boys in santa rosa carrying ghost guns? cornell: a community meeting has been called to address neighbors concerns about the uptick in gang violence. >> we have seen escalation of this type of behavior from very young ages. we are seeing as young as 10 years old showing signs of gang involvement. cornell: she calls it a public health issue. glynis shriver says her neighborhood is not the same. >> i don't feel safe in my's
6:02 pm
my own neighborhood, and i've lived here over 20 years. >> we all have one shared interest, and that is a safe community for all here in the city of sa santa rosa, and the community needs to be a part of that. cornell: cornell barnard, abc 7 news. ama: a crack appeared a window. the cracked of concern near san francisco's financial district, on howard and beale street. police closed off the area encased glass fell on the sidewalk, but later determined the crack was on the inside of the window. san francisco is requiring inspections and in some cases extra glazing and 71 skyscrapers after glasco during an intense storm in march. dan: better ways to get around the bay area. bridge tolls may be going up, are you ready for this, by a whopping
6:03 pm
state senator scott weiner says without that money, b.a.r.t. and muni may have to eliminate some roots. -- route sen. weiner: do we want our people to get to work, doctor's appointments, school, the senior center? it is in no one's interest to eliminate weekend or nighttime b.a.r.t. service. dan: opponents say -- opponents say more oversight is needed on spending. ama: joining us now is abc 7 insider phil matier. phil, when there is a problem, there's always someone who thinks money is the answer. in the case of transit, do you see it as a hand up or a handout? phil: actually, it is both. it is a handout. the hope is that it is a hand up. that is remaining to be seen.
6:04 pm
we are now living at most a four-day workweek, and that is not expected to change for years to come. it is a new world out there, and the transit agencies have not been equipped to change with it. we have 27 separate chains it agencies in the bay area, and some state lawmakers, not the help pay for them, say it is time to change that, it is time to condense, it is time to start making some efficiencies and save money. that is not where we are right now. where we are is trying to bail it out with a toll hike that, as you point out, would eventually go up to $2.0 we have already approved. it would still require at the end of it for voters or someone to continue to come up with money to subsidize the system, because they will not break even. dan: state senator scott weiner's is to raise tolls,
6:05 pm
putting a benefit on some to benefit -- burden on some to benefit others. phil: do you want the policy or the politics, dan? i will give you the policy. the idea is that all of us are in this together can the politics, although bay area bridges get a lot of attention, especially during commute hours, the fact is those numbers you see only represent a minority of the commuters out there on any given monday, -- morning, especially driving. most of them are going different directions. . they don't cross one of those seven bridges. now, the thing is, however, they are an easy way to get money, because the toll plaza is already set up, they've already got the tracking systems on, you just at a dollar to it, and you get the money. but you don't anchor the vast number of constituents out there, because, as i said, this is only a minority group. the flipside is that suburban drivers, they are the ones who bear the brunt, because they drive into the city. people in the cities, as scott
6:06 pm
weiner is talking about, they tend to drive out, so they benefit, the others pay. in the macro olympics, it will make for a cleaner planet put less cars on the road, but i'm not sure the drivers at this point are interested in that logic, especially, it is interesting, this co time when san francisco is supposedly trying to attract people to cross those bridges, pay the trolls -- tolls, and coming to downtown san francisco. ama: phil, we've all seen the videos of people jumping on b.a.r.t. so many people board without paying. why don't passengers public transit before we charge drivers more for bridge tolls? phil: that is a good one, and it is being asked in sacramento as well. there's a request about the efficiency, and if you are not collecting from your riders right now, how much is that costing? sacramento said no to a $5 billion bailout of mass transit in the state, and part of her concerns about efficiency,
6:07 pm
safety, and what you just brought up. how good of a job are you doing at collecting your own money and taking care of it? this is the stopgap measure that scott weiner is trying to put in because the governor said no to bigger funding. will it fly? remains to be seen. he's doing this as a lawmaker with the backing of some of the transit agencies, but the metropolitan transportation commission, which oversees all of this, just got the bill themselves a couple days ago and are still working their way through it. dan: i remember when crossing the bridges was a dollar. here we are now. phil, thank you. ama: let's talk about parades as well as giants games. b.a.r.t. had the biggest numbers busiest sunday since the , pandemic began. pride left a lasting impression
6:08 pm
on forests who were in town for the celebration. dan: those are the kind of evidence that the san francisco travel association says it's helping bring tourists back in the city, which the city so desperately needs. ama: lyanne: i was in the downtown stretch, near a cable car, and i thought it was a protest. lo and behold, they were tourists, so that is a good thing, right? still, san francisco is not there yet. in 2019, san francisco had record 26 million visitors, giving the city and economic boost of $10 billion. san francisco travel, which gathers these numbers, says they remain on target to boost tourism. the castro district and most of san francisco saw one of its

as well as india as our assets -- fastest growing emerging market. >> welcome to the most beautiful city in the world. lyanne: a campaign ad showing san francisco's best features seems to be reaching targeted audiences in the u.s. and abroad, despite the city's recent troubles. >> we are not going to let it deter us. it is still a beautiful city. kate: well, we are used to it. we have a rather similar thing in england, really, there's always crime, so, you just try to keep yourself safe. john: i worried about san francisco suffering for its reputation. i have to say i was a little bit concerned. laurie: it is not unsafe everywhere, but we still have challenges. we know that. we are not out of the woods yet. we had a very tough three years. lyanne: in fact, the city is forecasting to be back to pre-pandemic tourist members by the year 2026. let's talk about the other neighborhoods like west portal and others. they did well in 2022, but so

6:49 pm
i don't know if any other market in america right now that major league baseball should be more interested in accessing. dustin: purdy says while owners could deny territorial rights by a vote, he thinks it is a longshot with current giants ownership and mlb commissioner. mark: i think when history is written, people will look back and see that major league baseball made a huge mistake in not allowing the a's to move to san jose, and i think they would be making a huge mistake again not to consider san jose as an expansion market, now that, sadly, the a's are gone. dustin: in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. dan: sports director larry beil is here. that is just mind-boggling what is going on. larry: part purdy is very respected. they are having all kinds of issues with the site. they -- we don't have enough time to go to the many issues. at every turn, it has been bungled. well, look who is doing it. that says it all. we will talk some hoops paid like many, chris paul adjusting
