sister restaurant is unsustainable because they're just aren't enough people in the financial district. >> we saw a decline in traffic. we saw a decline in business in general. >> businesses in the financial district and across the city have been hit hard by the loss of office workers. according to the latest data published in july from commercial real estate firm cbre, the office vacancy rate in san francisco was 31.6% at the end of the second quarter of 2023, before the pandemic. the office vacancy level in the city stood at just 4. >> that's offices without a tenant. ted egan is the chief economist for the city and county of san francisco. even the office space that does have tenants is not very full. we're seeing data that suggests it's 40 to 50% full on a given day compared to 2019, which means that the foot traffic is about half of what it is. san francisco, downtown has the lowest office occupancy at the moment that any other city in the united states and i know

that that the city and also the downtown community is trying to do something. >> but i just don't don't see it happen anytime soon. uh- employers have to maybe put their foot down and say, hey, you have to come to work. city leaders say business has improved for local restaurants since the pandemic ended, but things are still a long way off. >> we're still lagging most other cities, we still have a long way to go in san francisco, suzannephan abc7 news. >> in the east bay 200 businesses in oakland are going to be taking matters into their own hands tomorrow. >> they're going on strike, shutting down their stores for all or part of the day to protest retail crime. according to our abc7 news data team burglaries are up 44% in just the past 12 months compared to the annual average over the last three years. robberies are up 26% compared to that same time am. local store owners tell us the safety and financial fears have made it very difficult to do business in oakland. >> you know, even if the crime

is not hitting my store here in other businesses is bad. you know, oakland is beautiful. we have to keep it safe. you know, police have to do something. the mayor have to do something. >> the latest notable case of violence was friday night. a man from berkeley was shot and killed right by lake temescal. mayor shengtao says it's going to take time for her crime fighting strategy to take effect. >> as your mayor, for i know for sure what we're doing and we're doing everything that we can to protect our businesses and our residents. and so, again, all of this implementation, it is slowly ramping up. >> as for the business strike, she tells local merchants she hears their concerns. murtaugh recently announced oakland is adding 300 security cameras citywide this fall and doubling the number of police foot patrols in the main business corridors in the north bay. >> the potential rain is welcome news to cal fire crews. they say october is the most destructive month in california for fire and they're still hard at work.

prevent fires from spreading. >> we're still doing fuel modification work. we're not resting on our laurels at all. those fires can start and with the winds that we get in the north bay, can escalate very quickly. an and we want to avoid that. if we can. so we need our community. your viewer ship to maintain that vigilance until we really get into some really wetting rain. >> wildfires in southern oregon and far northern california have led to poor air quality in the bay area this past week. so they are reminding people the threat is still there. for more information on fireproofing, your home and your property, you can go to ready for wildfire org . >> and when it comes to our air quality, we have improving conditions. you probably noticed that over the weekend we had clear skies that smoke that haze from last week is out of our atmosphere thanks to a bit of a cold front that pushed a lot of that smoke away from the region. so today, tomorrow and wednesday , we're breathing easy. we have good air quality across the region. another reason why we're tracking a system that is

bringing some heavy rain to the pacific northwest. you can clearly see this area of low pressure. here is the cold front . and that cold front is now approaching eureka this morning. it will bring some significant rainfall to eureka, even redding. but as the front moves south, it will lose a lot of its moisture. but we are still anticipating some light showers, mainly in the north bay. and after sunset tonight. so looking at rainfall over the next 24 hours, i think the best chance of finding wet weather likely in the north bay and along the coast as we head into the south bay and the east bay. i think it's going to be tough to find some significant moisture. it's not out of the question. we could see a sprinkle here or there, but the best chance really does lie in the north bay after sunset tonight. here's a live look from the exploratory camera. we do have partly to mostly cloudy skies out there. here's how the day shapes up. it's just a blend of sun and clouds. and then after sunset, there's a chance of a shower in the north bay. we'll take a closer look at that rain chance. also show you that 70 forecast coming up in about nine minutes.

hour by hour for you on future weather. show you what we're talking about. so here's today. this is noon. we're dry. it's just a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day. the sun goes down and then we'll start to track some of that moisture by 7 p.m. it's around ukiah, cloverdale, mainly light in nature. by about 9 p.m, some of that moisture is approaching santa rosa. and then in the early morning hours tomorrow, this is 330 in the morning, not out of the question. we could see some spotty showers around the city, maybe parts of the peninsula. but then by the sun getting up here tomorrow, any of that moisture is out of here. and we are looking at a very bright day on tuesday. so the best chance of finding some rain after sunset tonight in the north bay and along the coast, a mix of sun and clouds. today, we'll find temperatures making their way mainly into the 70s later on this afternoon. then overnight tonight, we'll track those light showers moving through parts of the region and we'll have that moisture mainly measured in less than about a 10th of an inch where it falls. here's a quick look at the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll track those showers after sunset tonight. lots of sunshine
