abc seven mornings live now at five. >> we are inching closer to election day. we have the latest from the candidates in one of the most closely watched races in the bay area, and two big recalls are on the ballot in the east bay. a close at the recall

process as the oakland mayor and alameda county da fight to keep their job. plus, multiple stores hit just hours apart. the video from witnesses saying suspects took everything they could. good morning everybody. it's november 3rd. lisa is tracking your sunday forecast. >> yes, it's certainly breezy out there already. along the coast. winds are up to 20 miles an hour. those north winds taking over. and as we look at live doppler seven right now, we're going to see that you can probably tell the cloud cover as it sort of moves to the south. and that is because high pressure is building in. and we've got low pressure an element also that is allowing for that offshore flow. it is 54 in san carlos. good morning concord 48 there 45 by the delta. and as we look right now at our 24 hour temperature change, it is 12 degrees cooler in livermore with the clear sky. those winds not taking effect there yet. in our inland valleys, you can see ten to almost 20 miles an hour right along the coast, up through marin, along san mateo and as we

go through the next few hours, notice that we've got plenty of sun. 3:00 our highs are from the upper 60s to low 70s, and that's when we reach our high temperatures, because of course, we have a shorter day today with. back to standard time. so we got that extra hour of sleep and it will be getting darker earlier. we'll see more clear sky and still some heightened wind to talk about on monday. and another round of offshore winds will detail the rest of the weekend and the week ahead. coming up stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. two days out from election day now. and one of the most contentious races here in the bay area is the race for san francisco mayor. the candidates are going across the city in a last minute push for votes, and recent polls show it's a close race. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard caught up with the leading candidates for top candidates for san francisco mayor. >> now in the homestretch, making a final pitch to voters. >> this race has so much at stake. >> incumbent mayor london breed is seeking another term in office this weekend. she's

telling voters that she's battle tested after protecting the city during the pandemic. but there's more to do. >> this is not a place for on the job training, and this is a serious city with a serious responsibility. we're on the rise and i hope that voters see it. >> mayoral candidate mark farrell is getting out the vote with last minute and undecided voters in west portal. he says crime, homelessness and drugs are the biggest issues facing san franciscans. >> we need a mayor is going to come back and focus on these basics, really do it aggressively with a strong determination. again, a strong vision for where we need to go because those issues affect everything that we do as a city. >> candidate aaron peskin is on the move this weekend in noe valley greeting voters. he says he's running on his experience as a longtime san francisco supervisor. >> there's a growing acknowledgment that i am the person with the experience with actual plans to move the city forward to address our affordability crisis, to reduce rent costs, and to make san francisco safer in a way that actually works. >> hey, how are you? good.

>> nonprofit founder and levi strauss heir daniel lurie says he's proud to be the only mayoral candidate who's never held political office. lurie hopes being an outsider will make him the voters first choice in ranked choice voting. >> everybody i'm running against has had their chance and they have failed this. this mayor has failed to deliver for the people and the taxpayers for six years. now it's time for a change in san francisco. >> cornell, bernard, abc seven news. >> the san francisco democratic party made a push to get people to the polls. they rallied at depot park. the event was part of a nationwide get out the vote effort. mayor breed, congressmember barbara lee, state senator scott wiener, and district attorney brooke jenkins all participated. one of the big issues in the east bay is the future of the alameda county district attorney's office. the group save alameda for everyone supports this recall effort of pamela price. they rallied in oakland, saying her policies have fueled crime. we fall pric,

we fall price, and we stand her. >> we stand here together because our hearts ache and we want justice. >> price and her supporters have blasted the recall, calling it an attempt to silence those who support criminal justice reform. now the other big recall in the east bay is against oakland mayor xiang tao. so what happens if both da price and mayor tao are recalled? both instances involve a series of steps that involve a lot of players, and it won't necessarily force them out of office immediately. abc seven news reporter anser hassan explains. >> for the past year, those for and against the recall of alameda county district attorney pamela price and oakland mayor chen tao have made their case. on tuesday, it will be up to voters. >> the recall at the statewide level is actually pretty rare. it's not used very often, but at the local level, we see the recall used as kind of a gun behind the door, a threat, if you will, factor. >> david mcewan is professor of

political science at sonoma state university. he says if either of the two elected officials are ousted, the mechanism to replace them is quite different. for da price, it's a two step process. da price's term ends in 2028. the alameda county board of supervisors will appoint her successor, who will serve two years until the next general election in 2026. whoever's elected in 2026 fills out the rest of the term until 2028. professor mcewan says what's unclear is just how fast the board of supervisors will move. >> generally, the board would have a meeting within two weeks of the november election, and that's an important element because we may not have certification yet for alameda county. >> he expects a decision will likely be made by the beginning of january. when it comes to the oakland mayor seat, mcewan says that could be much messier and this is one of the subtle or nuanced messages that mayor tao is putting out there is like, look, if i'm recalled, there's a

mess behind me about what happens if mayor tao is recalled. tao will remain in office until the vote is certified, which could be mid-december. oakland city council president nikki fortunato bass would take over as interim mayor. a special election must be called within 120 days from when mayor tao steps down. that special election could happen as late as april. but complicating the process is that fortunato bass is running for alameda county board of supervisors, district five. if she wins, she will take office in january. that means oakland's pro tem will take over as city council president and become the next interim mayor until the special election. >> you're looking at a 5 or 6 month period. period in oakland politics and oakland city politics where you could see literally four mayors in about five months. >> in a statement to abc seven news, the alameda county registrar of voters, tim dupuy, says he's received over 270,000 votes as of saturday. that's 28% of alameda county voters. dupuy

expects 80% voter turnout for this general election in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> in the last presidential election, almost 87% of voters in california voted by mail. california automatically mails a ballot to each active registered voter. so fill out your ballot, then sign and seal the envelope. postage is prepaid. no need to add any stamps and you can return it to an election office drop box or polling place anywhere across the bay area. and if you're mailing it, make sure it's postmarked no later than election day, november 5th. it can take up to a week to arrive and your vote will still count. you can also track it online on the secretary of state's website. abc seven news is here to help you navigate through all the races and measures on the ballot. we have a voter guide on abc seven news.com where you can look up races, specific to your county. you'll find it under our elections section. well, it happened again. two walgreens stores in san francisco were hit

an apparent smash and grab robberies. an employee says a large group of juveniles ran into the store on mission street near first street at around 330 yesterday afternoon. the suspect started going through the display cases and cleaned out the shelves as you see from this video, they left behind a huge mess as they ran out of the store with several bags of merchandise. now a second store on market and ninth streets was hit about an hour later. police say it happened at around 445 last night, with a large group entering the store, and video shows them opening display cases. as you see here, you can see them grabbing what they could and just putting all that merchandise into several bags. the group then heads out of the door down market street. police say so far no arrests have been made, but we do know a security guard says the store was also hit on friday in the east bay. now, three people have been charged in connection with an organized retail crime ring. they've been suspected to have been involved in this criminal

enterprise at the oakland coliseum flea market. the alameda county da's office alleges the trio had heaps of stolen property valued at more than $348,000. the products came from ten different chain retailers like sephora, macy's and walmart. all right, let's get you outside. how's it looking, lisa? >> well, we're certainly breezy. stephanie. our winds have turned to an offshore component, which will dry things out a bit, but no advisories from the national weather service except out by the delta, where the winds could be cranking to near 50 miles an hour. so breezy. sunny, warmer today and we'll talk about more fire danger right around election day and the week ahead in a few minutes. >> lisa. thank you. also ahead, how a family is turning their grief into hope with a new park in the north bay. plus sleeping pods in san francisco now approved. a look inside the building housing tech workers at an

i'm looking at the san francisco skyline. it is 512 for a second straight week. police in san jose are investigating a violent attack on the same downtown street. the latest incident happened on the vta tracks at second and san fernando streets early saturday morning. that's right near the san antonio station. police say a man was stabbed and then taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. so far, no word of any arrest. now, last sunday, there was a deadly shooting at that same intersection that was the city's 26th homicide of the yea. so far, there haven't been any arrests in that case either. san jose is rolling out two new pieces of technology to record activity in east san jose. mobile camera towers will go up in the city's east side to notify police if a crime happens in the area. abc seven news

reporter dustin dorsey has the reaction from both supporters and critics wanted for criminal activity. >> an eye in the sky to help create a safer way to shop and buy store owners in the tully road, eastridge business association of east san jose fear closures as business has decreased due to a rise in crime. >> this particular mall and there were a lot of car break ins unimaginable. my own car got broken into. who's responsible for that? who's accountable for that? and so something like this here would just make sense. >> two mobile camera towers will be outfitted with standard cameras, loudspeakers and license plate readers. and placed in this neighborhood. if a crime is occurring, police can be notified and dispatched. leaders say just as criminals aren't stationary, solutions shouldn't be either. >> what these cameras allow us to do is get an eye to a location where a problem is occurring. it allows us to hopefully deter crime from happening in the first place. but unfortunately, if a crime does occur, give us the evidence that we need to identify, apprehend and prosecute the

suspect. >> san jose leaders view technology like this is a potential solution to public safety issues. they are looking into drones as a first response for police like san francisco has. license plate. readers are spread throughout the city to solve crimes and enforce traffic laws and tuesday, the city council unanimously approved 33 new speed safety cameras. >> folks are dying on our roadways, and we know that these cameras will be effective as slowing motorists down and saving lives. >> but they also create privacy concerns. privacy expert mike castle fears the surveillance community that this new tech creates. bay area wide. >> everybody is a potential criminal, and the idea is that if only we could watch people often enough and catch them everywhere, we will know what crimes they have committed or can link them to specific crimes. >> san jose has retention and monitoring privacy standards, but katz says it's important for everyone to be familiar with them as more cameras roll out in

san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news and marin county families and friends gathered for the grand opening of a new playground as a special dedication to a little boy. >> alex's playground and discovery gardens was created to honor seven year old alex schwanbeck nearly five years ago. he was tragically killed when a 400 pound gate came crashing down on him during his school recess. organizers say his family is turning their grief into action and giving back to their community in niven park. the parents funded this project with a focus on curiosity and adventure. >> it's really spectacular to see kids playing in the park, climbing in the structure, just running around, exploring. it's a really, really neat event. we just hope that this brings a lot of joy for families for years to come. >> the grand opening in larkspur was called alex's perfect day. it included entertainment activities and food trucks from

his favorite places. as you can see, it was a great turnout in the east bay. more than 208th grade students participated in girls tech day. amazon web services hosted the event at mlk junior middle school in hayward, and it aims to inspire girls and young women to pursue interests in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. the students engaged in talks by local women influencers and our own south bay reporter lauren martinez, served as a co-host of girls tech day. we'd love to see that. all right, and look at this. a sight from the sierra. up to five inches of fresh snow blanketed the summit at palisades tahoe this weekend. the resort shared this video with us, showing the powdery powdered, powdery. there we go layer left by the storm and palisades tahoe is gearing up, of course, for its 75th anniversary season, so this is a special one. opening day is just a few weeks away, set for november 27th. meanwhile, here at home, we are tracking some breezy conditions. lisa is has

the latest for us. >> yeah that's right, the winds have switched out of the north so that will dry things out. but we are looking at things to improve in terms of an onshore flow. as we get into tomorrow afternoon. so this isn't particularly strong or long stretch of offshore winds. we'll get that again come tuesday into wednesday. so it all depends on how much we dry out in the next 24 hours, whether or not the national weather service will issue a red flag warning for our next event. how about that? 637 sunrise and sun setting at 508 yes. ouch. well, as we look at live doppler seven, you can see the clouds going up and over a ridge of high pressure. and sacramento has a wind advisory. but this wind advisory extends through the delta from vallejo there out towards sassoon. and we're looking at winds that could exceed 30 and 40 miles an hour due to that wind shift. so, so far the bay area will just be breezy to windy along the coastline. today it is 55 at sfo

where it's 51 in the southland. there san jose, 47 santa rosa. so those winds keeping things mixed by the shoreline where we're looking at winds up to say 18 miles an hour there, half moon bay, novato, though, wind gusts of 22. so a good part of southern marin. very breezy right now. we'll get into that in san francisco and then eventually all throughout the afternoon up to about 30 miles an hour. our forecast headlines then dry breezy. the offshore winds today tonight into early monday. then we get a break. election day warmer mix of clouds and sun. we're getting into that warmer pattern already today. that's going to last throughout the upcoming workweek. and then the remainder of the week. we've got sunshine that november warmth, but by that tuesday wednesday time frame, even into thursday could see another round of some very gusty northerly winds. here's a look at about 10:00. you can see how the winds have ramped up already. you can see up to 30 miles an hour and then right on

through the afternoon. check out 1 p.m. where uh- through the delta. this is why you have the wind advisory. over 30 miles an hour. you can see the peninsula near 30 and then right in through the early evening hours, lets up a little bit, but not really because by late sunday we're back into those breezy and gusty conditions. also, we have our beach hazard statement from 3:00 this afternoon through 7:00 tomorrow. you can see the wave heights increasing, could see 10 to 14 foot waves out there. so this is a look at how fast the winds will be blowing today. the clear sky. this is monday. some clouds. and you can see still that northerly component right on through tuesday into tuesday afternoon. so each and every day a less and less recovery in terms of our relative humidity 72 in oakland. look for 70 in fremont today. so warmer out there breezy windy at the coast. low 60s half moon bay. the accuweather seven day forecast for sunny and warmer the next few days. a mix of clouds and sun for election day and notice little change except for our

winds, which will continue to add the elevated fire danger right on through the workweek. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. well, renting a sleeping pod here in san francisco will cost you $700. it's a story we first told you about a year ago, but it's taken nearly a year for the company behind the pods to receive the correct permits from the city. here's abc seven news reporter luz pena. >> in a city where the average rent price is 3 to $4000 a month, sleeping in a pod for $700 a month is a deal. >> i was living in the presidio before and kind of looking for cheaper options just so i could keep working on the stuff i wanted to, and working on open source projects. >> the majority of people who live here have the same goal. build a tech startup and make it big. >> we have such a great, diverse group of people. everybody almost everybody is a founder. >> so paying high rent prices is not part of the equation. how is it inside one of these pods?

let's get in. all right. so they're actually the size of a twin bed four feet tall. two fans behind me and a little curtain. but after this housing concept went viral in 2023, many here were at risk of losing their housing because the city said the people running it didn't have the right permits. >> there was actually never anything illegal about the pods. it was just that we didn't have a change of use because this building used to be a bank. >> for the first time, we're hearing exclusively from the co-owner of brownstone share housing, the company that runs the pods. we got a look inside the building, a place he said almost didn't survive because of how long the permitting process took in san francisco. >> but there were no safety concerns. there's really no construction that we had to do to improve the building. >> after over a year, he's glad they finally have the right approval for the pods. we contacted the department of building inspections and they confirmed that on september 5th,

the planning department issued a letter of approval for the sleeping pods. they also asked him to obtain paperwork for their shower stall and fix the front entry lock. the entrepreneurs inside hope the city makes the permitting process easier. >> if this had existed 3 or 4 years ago, we probably wouldn't have lost so much early stage startups to austin and denver. >> the company behind the pods is applying for a bigger place because if they have to wait another year for permits, might as well be for more than 30 pods. >> so we're actually in the process of opening up a place that's about five times this size in san francisco. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> a reminder that you can watch all our newscast live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download when you have moderate to severe eczema,

the los muertos procession at the beginning used to be very small. >> that people would come to celebrate the day of the dead. nowadays it's very important because a lot of our uh, a lot of people who are from other cultures, they come and check our cultures and these days, so it's really nice. >> azteca dancers led the way, performing ritual dances, as you see here at the four main stops for direction. this event is put on by el colectivo colectivo del cante cultural de la mision. organizers encouraged attendees to shop and eat afterwards to help out all the local businesses and people gathered earlier in potrero del sol park for the day of the dead festival of altars. the community was invited out to build an altar in

election day and both campaigns are closing in on key battleground states in these final days where they're headed this morning. good morning everybody. thank you for joining us. this half hour. daylight saving time has set in. we enjoy that extra hour didn't we. >> yes. 5-08 sunset. we have

that to look forward to. but we are also getting into a pretty dry pattern right now. it is 51 in the south bay looking at temperatures elsewhere in the low 40s out towards the delta 44 in livermore. and as we look at the north bay, it's cool in pockets. 46 calistoga 55. though novato, you have a lot of wind there over 20 miles an hour, 5 to 12 degrees cooler away from the coast where the wind has not set in yet. so look at that gust to 25. novato gust to 18. half moon bay, very windy along the shoreline in the low 60s today, but as we get to our inland valleys, about 70. this is the time of year when the bayside communities get a little bit warmer than our inland valleys, because those valleys have that cooler air that drains into the valleys overnight, cooling you off. so it's a temperatures where they're fairly uniform bayside and inland. and then at the coast, those breezy to windy conditions. so we'll talk about the next round of wind and some pretty pleasant afternoon temperatures for this upcoming week. first week, full week of

november. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. as we're closing in on election day, both presidential candidates are making their final stops on the campaign trail in key battleground states. more than 73 million americans have already cast their early vote. abc news chuck sivertsen has more, including where harris and trump will be today with the election two days away, vice president harris and former president trump are making their final pitches to voters. >> the election generating massive early voter turnout with more than 73 million americans already casting their ballots on saturday. both candidates visiting battleground north carolina. harris, speaking to voters in charlotte. i am not looking to score political points. >> i am looking to make progres. >> former president trump holding an afternoon rally in gastonia before heading to greensboro. >> and we can't take a chance of losing the great state of north carolina. we're not going to

lose the great state of north carolina. >> trump won north carolina in 2020 by about 75,000 votes. polls show this race is another dead heat. today, the former president will be in kinston, north carolina, as well as georgia and pennsylvania. vice president harris will be in michigan. chuck sivertsen, abc news, new york. >> vice president harris also made a surprise appearance on saturday night live. the presidential candidate portrayed herself alongside actor maya rudolph, who plays harris on the show. you see her there? the skit involved rudolph nervously preparing for a campaign speech, and harris appeared in a mirror dressed identical to rudolph. it's a similar skit donald trump did back in 2015, when he appeared on snl in his first presidential bid, harris made her first appearance on the show, which has seen several presidential candidates over its decades long run in battleground states where donald trump and kamala harris are neck and neck.

voters are being bombarded with rallies, advertisements, door knocks and mailings. but what is it like to be a voter in a swing state? here's abc seven news reporter monica madden. >> it's a very different vision. >> if you think we see a lot of campaign ads in california, just imagine the battleground president trump fights for you. there's been about $1 billion worth of presidential ad spending in swing states between july 22nd through october 8th. and reporters at our sister abc owned stations in battleground states confirming our assumptions about how voters are taking it. >> exhaustion. people are tired of seeing the ads and hearing the debates. >> pennsylvania could very well determine the outcome of the presidency and our colleague brian taff says it's a responsibility. voters there don't take lightly. >> we realize that we're right smack in the middle of this whole thing, and our vote really has the potential to determine who is the next president of the united states. >> what are kind of the ads that you have been seeing, and what are people buzzing about the most? >> i'm not making this up when i

tell you that every single ad, every single day on every single channel is about the presidential election, i've not seen an ad for a car or cereal or anything else in weeks over north carolina. >> it's still nonstop, but our colleague joel brown says there's been specific ads on repeat. >> one advertisement that's gotten a lot of attention has been donald trump's attack on kamala harris. and talking about transgender inmates within the state prison system. kamala harris's ads a lot more on on, on personality and the subject matter of the ads. >> much different than what we're seeing in a blue state. >> it is the abortion reproductive rights issue. it is the economy, and it is immigration. these are the three things that are that voters here are being beaten over the head with on a daily basis. >> what themes would you say are resonating with your state in terms of different issues that we're talking about in this cycle? >> we saw donald trump here in rocky mount, which is about 60 miles away from raleigh. yesterday he talked a lot about the economy. talked about inflation. talked about immigration as the biggest issues in the campaign. a big

part of his focus, though, was was on the economy. kamala harris was here in raleigh, one of the more urban areas of the state. a lot of her message has been turn the page on donald trump. and i know that's resonating with, with with many voters. we heard from them yesterday in raleigh, in san francisco, monica madden, abc seven news. >> coming up on this week abc's martha raddatz talks to swing state voters in both nevada and arizona. you can watch the full interview on this week at eight this morning right here on abc seven. still ahead, a recent report shows a concerning number of unsolved crimes in one east bay city. why? police say the report could actually be false. we'll explain and we'll take you outside for this live look atop our roof camera. when your child has moderate-to-severe eczema, it's okay to for them to show off. show off their clearer skin and noticeably less itch with dupixent.

because children 6 months and older with eczema have plenty of reasons to show off their skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, they can stay ahead of their eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your child's skin from within. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your child's eczema specialist about dupixent.

this morning. it's 537, unsolved mysteries. when it comes to crime, that's not what you want to hear. but that's the reality. in oakland. most crimes remain unsolved by police. abc seven news obtained the most recent clearance numbers within bay area police departments in oakland was at the bottom of the list. abc seven news building a better bay area reporter, lyanne melendez, has the details. >> just by looking at the clearance numbers, it appears that oakland police haven't been able to get a handle on solving crimes and making arrests. in 2023. oakland pd reported that only 3% of their violent crimes resulted in an arrest. when it came to property crimes, the number was 0.1%. compare that to san francisco and san jose, which reported that 28% and 35% of their violent crimes resulted in an arrest and for property

crimes, their numbers were slightly higher than oakland's 5% for san francisco and 7% for san jose. these are numbers submitted by each police department to the department of justice, the doj. we reached out to oakland pd and were told, quote, unfortunately, we are going to have to decline the interview. the oakland police officers association, their union, also said no to our request for comment. we then contacted the center on juvenile and criminal justice, which compiled the doj numbers. >> their clearance rate was already abysmal. now it's, you know, practically nothing. they're just not solving crimes. >> tanisha hollins is with californians for safety and justice, a public safety advocacy group. >> police have a job to do. so to hear that crimes are not being solved, that is concerning, but it's familiar. when you talk to people whose cars have been broken into or property has been stolen, you

hear that they don't even bother calling the police because they don't think they will show up. the responsibility for them to file a police report is put back on them. >> oakland pd appears to have a data problem. they don't seem to even know how many crimes are being committed in the city. the numbers they report publicly are different from what they are reporting to the california department of justice. according to the stats, they reported to the state that violent crimes have more than doubled, aggravated assaults more than tripled, motor vehicle thefts also more than doubled. >> the 2023 stats are just they're just off the charts. there's no way that these could be correct. and so yes, it's the oakland police department that's the problem here. >> when we raised that concern, opd first told us that the data contains an anomaly. when we press them. they admitted the anomaly was due to human error. when we asked for the correct numbers, they told us those stats are not available at this

time. mistake or not, community members say the numbers show that police in oakland are failing to deter crime. when you look at the five things regarding deterrence, it says the certainty of being caught is a vastly more powerful deterrent than the punishment. would you agree? >> you're not going to do something if you are certain there's a consequence, but if we see folks committing crime and the police are not showing up, they're not making arrests, even if it's for low level crime, it just sends a message to the community that these things don't matter. >> and when people say clearance rates, what are we talking about? >> so clearance rate, the way we report it to doj is through an arrest. anytime crime is committed and we make an arrest related to that case, it's considered clear. >> san pablo police also in the east bay and with similar demographics as oakland, had a much better clearance rate in 2023, 53% of all violent crimes. there were cleared after someone
