don't abide by state requirements to accommodate new housing. we continue to struggle with accountability. >> we continue to struggle with transparency. but for those that turn their back on this crisis, we're turning up the heat. >> karen nemchik is director of housing justice for united way bay area. >> we need the public will to build this housing where we need it throughout the throughout the state and particularly in the bay area where our housing prices have just gone up leaps and bounds. >> nemchik applauds the governor's efforts. >> i think these bills do something. they they are making the effort to make it easier to build affordable housing. >> but not everyone is on board. rina tello works with underserved communities in san francisco. she believes we have an affordability crisis that can't be solved by building more units that are unaffordable. i'm disappointed. >> we need the governor's office to partner with local cities and local communities to be able to ensure that we have the funding

that we need to create, that affordable housing. what is stopping housing right now is the cost of building, and we can't really work our way around that without funding. >> other laws require local municipalities to create plans to house individuals at risk for homelessness, or currently unhoused. governor newsom also introduced the homekey plus housing program, which will help veterans or individuals experiencing mental health or substance use disorders. now, several cities have banned emergency shelters in supportive housing or have refused to comply with state housing mandates. governor newsom just signed sb 1037 from state senator scott wiener. violators could be penalized $10,000 per month if they don't comply. >> back to you, and thanks very much. a big announcement today in san francisco. meantime, in the effort to tackle the homelessness crisis, mayor london breed says the city is on track to reach its shelter goal three years early. in july 2023, san francisco launched the home

installation included. a lot of these businesses are family owned, and they're small, so they don't have the even if they have the money to buy the cameras, they might not have the expertise to set it up. san jose police say they'll be working with the businesses to identify the best spaces to place the cameras primary focus is still patrolling the area, getting officers to exit their vehicles to go out and actually meet and greet the business owners. >> that's something that we really want to emphasize, and this is just another conduit to that communication. >> the cameras would be registered with the police department. so if a crime occurs, police know a business has cameras and can ask for video. the businesses also have an option to let police monitor the cameras 24 over seven. >> and that camera and saying that we're watching you. it's just a deterrent, especially for people who decide to shoplift or who just want to throw trash here and there. so for now, this pilot program is focused on this neighborhood specifically. >> but the goal is to bring it to other neighborhoods in the

city that are facing high crime. >> we want to rest assured the entire community that east side is a safe community to come to. you should shop here. you should eat here because the city of san jose is standing up for our small businesses. >> businesses without cameras will receive the new ones first. those with existing cameras will still get help from sj, pd and making sure they have the best camera placement in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> and from fighting crime in the south bay to the east bay, where oakland leaders are giving an update tonight on the ongoing effort to install automated license plate readers around the city. oakland's police chief says 124 plate readers have been installed so far. another 26 will go up by the end of this week. oakland has been allocated 290 cameras, and the goal is to have them all installed by early november. a police lieutenant shared a story about how the plate readers were used recently to help solve a crime. >> we gathered video surveillance and overlaid them with alpr and identified a

a statewide survey from the public policy institute. prop 36 is aimed at rolling back criminal justice reforms from the past decade and implementing harsher penalties for theft and drug crimes. according to the poll, 71% of likely voters support this ballot initiative. 26% oppose it. those are the statewide numbers now in the bay area, 64% of voters are in favor of prop 36. that's the lowest among regions anywhere in the state. very interesting survey. and joining us now is abc seven news insider phil matier. >> phil, what does this say about how people are thinking about crime right now statewide, specifically here in the bay area? >> it says that they are they're worried about it. they're fed up with it. they are tired of seeing, you know, the massive shoplifting, the theft. this would drop the this would increase penalties for chronic shoplifting. they're tired of

the fentanyl crisis out there. but you know what's really amazing about this? this poll i haven't seen an initiative like this with numbers like this in a long time. they haven't spent any money on the campaign. this is backed by the district attorneys and by the big box stores like target and walmart. they paid the money to get it on the ballot. but you haven't seen anything since. people just took one look at that and said yes. >> like you said, it just speaks to just people just having it up to here with it's a big turnaround, obviously, from remember 2014, where prop 47 was approved, that reduced punishment for some theft and drug cases. why do you think 36 is so prominent? right now and so important in people's minds right now? >> well, first of all, because it's been talked about from car break ins and from fentanyl and the thefts, the property crimes for years. i mean, for the last five years, we've heard nothing but people sort of incredulously saying, what do you mean? you can steal up to $950 and you get a ticket, you know, okay. and then you have to say to them, yeah, you voted it in, okay. and

i didn't know that. i didn't know i was doing that. it was sold to the public by jerry brown as a way to reduce the population in prisons, which was badly needed because the federal judges said we had too many people in there. and second of all, it was to save money and redirect it towards programs, and it's to bring social justic, because we just come out of the era of three strikes. you're out where you would go to jail for life, for three felonies, and it just swung completely over here. now, it's not such dramatic as back to three strikes. you're out, but it is a complete a big reversal from it. and gavin newsom, the governor, tried his darndest to keep it off the ballot legislatively, legally, anything he could. and it just didn't. and like i said, people take one look at it and you get 70 over 30. yeah. >> well, after years of headlines about crime right now, you know, a majority in the polls say they think that the state is headed in the wrong direction, but they also say that about the country. >> our voters ever optimistic? >> no, it's been a while since

everybody said everything's great and we're getting better. and it tends not to be that way during election years. maybe the first year of a new administration, people are feeling better, but usually by the time it's up for a round again, no, no one's happy. they're not happy in the cities here. they're not happy in the counties, they're not happy in the state, and they're not happy in the nation. yes, we are as they say, we are grumpy out there. so folks, you are grumpy and once again you get to go to the ballot in a couple of weeks and, and let your voice be heard. >> and i guess that's why we have elections. yes we do, we do. >> and this one is really big. it's going to be very interesting. it's a sea change for the state. and it's going to be interesting to see how the state implements it once it goes in, because it's going to cost money to put people back in jail, and that might be an unintended consequence. thanks, bill. >> all right. well, you could have your ballot soon. calirnia secretary of state says county elections offices will begin mailing ballots october 7th, the last day to register to vote is october 21st. but you can register up to

facility at palmetto for mail processing and distribution, a wide range of managerial and operational failures. it is clear that the united states senate needs to exercise its authority. >> while this new legislation won't directly impact how fast or slow you may get mail, it will hold the postmaster general accountable for their impact on it, or lack thereof. >> postal workers are out there every day working their hearts out to deliver the mail on time, but when they don't have the competent leadership and competent management at the top to get the job done, we see the kinds of performance failures we've seen in georgia. >> that's andy cole reporting now as it stands now, the postmaster is appointed by the u.s. post office, a board of governors with no confirmation hearing. >> cocktails and cancer. is there a link between drinking alcohol and being diagnosed? the latest research suggests we may need a shift in

because they are so desperately dependent on the weather, and right now we're on the weather roller coaster up, down, up, down we are. and maybe up again soon. sandhya patel is back with that sandy. >> yeah, and it's not going to be a mini roller coaster. it's going to be pretty much a big one. let me show you. speaking of roller coasters, that was not meant to be. this is the view from santa cruz camera, the boardwalk where we are seeing some sun right now. by contrast, along the embarcadero from kgo roof, it is pretty socked in. so we do have some fog around near the coastline around the bay tomorrow afternoon. a lot of sun away from the coast. we're looking at warmer weather, 60s coast side, 80s inland. we're going to keep that warming going on saturday. you will notice as we end our summer season, we're going to see some 90s and for the start of fall, which is sunday, it's going to get hot inland, even hotter on monday with triple digits showing up. here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. it's mild to warm tomorrow. enjoy the comfort zone because then here we go. the heat is on for a couple of days which takes us into our new

season. fall will feel more like summer with the sizzle on monda. temperatures will remain in the warm to hot category for tuesday and then wednesday. thursday we'll get a break on monday. all right. >> not a big break. >> no, it's still going to be low 90s. thanks, david. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here. our daily dose of niners. >> the niners need a break. they need some healthy bodies, man. they're going to limp into the game on sunday with the rams literally limping in. and now it's george kittle who could not practice today because he's got a hamstring injury.

grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

game in la. the last thing the niners need right now is more injuries. but now it's george kittle. he's hurt. he's got a hamstring issue that caused him to miss practice today. and the same thing with cornerback charvarius ward. he's the best

cover corner that the niners offense could be seriously compromised if kittle can't go and they're suddenly a serious shortage of playmakers. however, brock purdy believes in the system and other talent on the roster. >> all right. you know, how can we figure out to get the ball to other guys and stuff? but man, we got playmakers. like i've said that before, we got a really good scheme. great play caller and some great players that, you know, step up in the in the roles and do their job really well. so for me man it's i still have to do my job in terms of my reads and my progressions, more so than i need to now change the way i think and make sure i'm getting it to this guy or that guy because a couple guys are out. it's not like that. so, you know, obviously i'd love to have my guys back and playing with them. but you know, that's just how it is with with this game. >> sometimes stanford football plays their first ever acc game tomorrow at syracuse on our sister network espn starts at 430. homecoming for stanford quarterback justin lamson. he was at syracuse, never got into

a game, and then he transferred to the farm. the norcal kid looking forward to going against guys he still calls his friends going back to the dome. >> i'm just i'm i'm super excited about it, kind of. i know seven of the 11 starters on defense. so, kind of being able to know who i'm going against is something that i'm super excited about. >> couple of baseball giants going for the sweep in baltimore. forever giant austin slater in late playing right. giants down three two in the ninth casey schmidt deep. slater in center field to cedric mullins. both dive and crash into each other. slater had it for a second, but the ball gets away upon impact. they both stayed in the game, which is, you know, hard to believe, but kind of a miracle. brett wisely scored, but the giants can't get any more. so we're tied at three. and then in the bottom of the ninth anthony santander high deep. aloha. mark canha looked like he had a shot at it. but the giants lose five three. and they have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. san jose sharks they've opened training camp and all eyes will be not on not on

joe thornton's beard. that's captivating as it is. but number one overall pick macklin celebrini. he's only 18 years old, 18, but he'll be the face of the franchise and is not discouraged by some low expectations for team teal going into this season. >> we don't really care what anyone else's expectations are, i think we have that belief in our group that that we can do something cool this year and build toward our towards getting better. >> you got to see this dodgers superstar shohei ohtani had one of the most incredible games in history, in one of the most incredible seasons in history. he hit three homers today, had two stolen bases and drove in a dodgers record ten runs. oh by the way, did i mention ohtani is the first player to ever hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a single season by contrast, the top two giants combined have 45 homers, top two giants stolen base leaders 32 one shohei. all

the giants. that sums it up. i mean, was it one shohei? all the giants sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart. >> about $700 million. >> well, yeah. jose canseco was the first guy to go 4040 with the a's 40 homers, 40 stolen bases, not 5050 was thought to be, you know, unheard of. and no one has done this. no way. i mean, shohei is just he's just a freak of nature, a freak of nature. absolutely. thanks. yeah. all right. >> thank you for joining us for this edition of abc seven news. >> i'm ama daetz, and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us. we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice evening and that we see you again at 11:00. good night.
