in oakland, anser hassan abc7 news. >> housing is one of the pillars of building a better bay area, especially the effort to address the shortage in so many communities. >> and this afternoon we want to focus on san francisco, which was just put on notice and threatened with the possibility of losing millions in funding because it's way behind in the amount of new housing units that are needed. >> abc seven news reporter leanne melendez is here now to tell us what san francisco has to do. and liane not much time to do it. >> well, can we say the clock is ticking, right? because in order to meet the mandate imposed by the state over the next eight years, san francisco should be adding 10,000 units a year because now the city is nowhere near that goal. all because the process is so very long and nimbyism is very much a part of the city's dna. the building process in san francisco can be summed up in 1 or 2 words slow and convoluted, like mark

linzell. many architects and builders agree. san francisco takes too long to approve new housing when it comes to issuing new housing permits. the latest numbers show that so far this year, san francisco has granted 182 permits where san jose, with a slightly larger population, has issued 1448. we are expected to deliver 82,000 units in the laid because some on the board of supervisors believed it would cause gentrification. so the way they halted the project was to

use the california environmental quality act. sequa >> unfortunately, it is now being used by to stop housing and other projects, even if those projects are environmentally beneficial. >> san francisco also allows anyone one to object to a project, even if it meets all the requirements. is that discretionary review can take months. that's the case with the 2550 irving street project, which offers 90 units of affordable housing. a neighborhood group objected and the project was delayed, pending several appeals. after losing all appeals, the project has finally been given the green light to start construction in spring of 2024. state senator scott wiener says san francisco also violates the state's density bonus law, where builders can add more units if they add more affordable housing. but san francisco frequently adds an additional fee.

>> that's, i think, illegal. >> yet they have been allowed these discretionary objections and added fees are unique to san francisco and they are intended to go away after the legislature passed sb 433, authored by senator wiener. >> sb 433 starting early next year, will sweep away a lot of the obstacles that san francisco has put up to block housing. the california department of housing and community development asked researchers at uc berkeley to analyze san francisco's housing approval practices and policies. >> this is the takeaway from that report. >> the procedural rules are a problem in terms of achieving those supply goals and those production targets. >> the same is true for smaller home projects. >> some people actually have lost the opportunity to build just because interest rates have gone up and it's taken a year or two to get their project approved and now they can't get the loans to do the project anymore. san francisco's mandated 82,000 new units would

bring the cost of housing in san francisco down. >> and because there isn't enough housing in the city of san francisco, especially affordable housing, we are seeing homelessness to climb, to record levels. but here's the rub. if san francisco doesn't act quickly to streamline the building process, the state has said it could withhold state funding. >> but if the state pulls out, then we can kiss affordable housing in san francisco goodbye . >> so it's not only mayor breed saying this, but state officials know what they're talking about when they say if san francisco doesn't build enough affordable housing, the city will have more unhoused people and people forced to move out of the city. now, in addition, san francisco could lose local control over what gets built here. and that's a big issue because you don't want you don't want the state, you know, a city like san francisco, which is so focused on, you know, the character of a neighborhood, you don't want sacramento making those

decisions here and saying, let's build this right here. >> so we want to keep that control, right? absolutely. see if they can retain it. thanks. thanks. sure up next, the search for the suspect in wednesday's mass shooting in maine. it's becoming more and more frustrating for those involved in the massive manhunt and a decision today on the start of this year's commercial crab season. will it be delayed for a fifth straight year? and the battle against m-pox. later, the new advice being given even though the worst appears to be over we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. great on their own, even better together. try cretors, handcrafted small-batch popcorn.

a live view from our kgo roof camera. and it's a little breezy, but this is a sea breeze . we're not dealing with the offshore winds or the downsloping drying winds right now, 67 in santa rosa, 64 in napa. we're in the mid to upper 60s from concord to fairfield. and here's a lovely view from our santa cruz camera as some people are out at the beach enjoying the sunshine. high fire danger this weekend. strongest winds late tomorrow into sunday morning. and we are looking at cold and frosty conditions tomorrow morning with sunny and milder weather for the afternoon soon. let's talk about the fire danger index. it takes into account the winds. also the fuels, how dry they are and the humidity levels as well. and as we take a look here, you'll notice that 8:00 tomorrow night, some areas going into the orange to red category in the hills, particularly which is very high to extreme fire danger that continues into sunday morning as we are expecting some of the stronger winds between late saturday night and sunday

morning. what this is going to do is cause these humidity values that were pretty elevated tomorrow morning at 5:00 to really crash. i mean, we're talking about teens to single digits in places like napa starting tomorrow afternoon and really continuing right on through sunday where you see the humidity values really low. so it's not so much the dense vegetation that still is retaining moisture from the recent rains, but it's the finer for vegetation, grasses and shrubs that could easily be flammable if there is any sort of a fire that does break out and that can spread rapidly. once again, a reminder, frost advisory for the north bay valleys, 1 to 10 a.m. tomorrow, 36 degrees or lower frost will form. so protect any sensitive plants. and don't forget about your pets as you take a look at your morning temperature. they'll be dropping down into the mid 30s to upper 40s. there's not a lot of cloud cover to insulate you. it's going to be mainly clear other than a few high thin, wispy clouds tomorrow afternoon. wall to wall sunshine but certainly windy conditions

would make the positive would first of all, you need one of the challenges a lot of countries are having and they're concerned about a declining population and we are as well, is you need younger workers to contribute to the system to continue to pay for the system going forward. so that can be an issue as well. you don't have as many people contributing to social security funds and all that sort of thing. but the other thing is, hey, if you know that that child, you bring into the world could come up with a solution to climate change, that's a good point. >> there's your positivity, right? yeah >> but it's hard to convince individuals who are struggling with the pocketbook. right. and yeah, it's tough, you guys. it's tough. yeah. >> i mean, i've heard a lot of people say i don't want to have kids because i can't even afford to buy a house in san francisco. right. so, you know, i'm going to pay for kids and send them to school and all of that in college is crazy expensive. so, you know, i've heard of that. >> but climate change, climate change. yeah, that's an interesting that's an interesting point. >> yeah. i think people are more conscientious to of climate change and how they're contributing to the carbon
