starts right now. >> daniel lurie made bold campaign promises on the trail to fix some of san francisco's biggest problems crime, homelessness and drug use. now

comes his first big test to try to deliver on one of them. good afternoon. i'm kristen sze. san francisco mayor daniel lurie has been in office for less than three weeks and is taking on some big issues. one of his priorities, a fentanyl state of emergency ordinance, is up for hearing tomorrow. and there's the major jolts from the trump administration. so i sat down with him earlier today and asked him how things are going. all right, mayor lori, look, your first big thing, the fentanyl state of emergency tomorrow. obviously a supervisor hearing about that and then next week maybe taking action. there are multiple components to it, but i think the key is cutting the red tape. talk to us about what the key is here and how you think this is going to end. a problem that's been plaguing our city for a long time. >> i appreciate the question. we have to treat this emergency like the crisis that it is, and we have to treat it with urgency. that's what this ordinance helps us do. it helps us build more mental health and drug treatment beds more quickly. it helps get people off the street. it helps us hire

more public safety officials, more clinicians more quickly. we have to get people off the streets and indoors. public safety is my number one priority, and right now we have to make sure we get people off the street and inside. >> all right. i mean, there are different components to this, right? there's the support part. and then there's the part where you may just have to, you know, get people off the streets. and as such, i know there have been 200 arrests or so in the last month in terms of drugs on sixth street, which is another big part of your focus. talk to us about if that is the major push with the arrests, or are there other components to your strategy? >> this is a it's not just a public safety issue. it's a public health issue. and we are allowing too many people to suffer and die on our streets. 1400 people have overdosed and died on the streets of san francisco in the last two years. this allows us to stand up a 24 over seven crisis center, which police can go drop people off. so we're not just taking people from the street to sf general, but we can do a drop off center that's friendly for police. people can get the help that

they need. we're going to stand up 1500 more shelter beds to get people once again off the streets and into help. so there's a number of components to it. but here's the key one we have to meet run with speed. we cannot continue to do what we've been doing. if we do, we're going to get the same results. and that is the 1400 people that have died over the last two years. >> tiffany details yet on whether these drop off centers or the 1500 shelter beds where they might be. any preliminary thoughts. >> on that? we will be working with neighborhood groups on siting. it just allows us to move quickly. right now, if we don't pass this ordinance, we in order to achieve what we want to achieve, we would have to go to the board 50 different times, and then the process would be about 6 to 12 months. on each of those, we're asking the board of supervisors to work with us. we will report out to them and to the public. there will be accountability and oversight, but we have to go fast because it's too there's too many

problems on our streets. >> right. the drug issue related to safety, related to business and also your pledge during the campaign, i think you said you want to end street homelessness in six months. the san francisco standard has an article about that today, and i'm wondering if you're still committing to that six month timeline. sometimes you want something to happen, but then you get in there and you go, oh, this is bigger than i thought. are you adjusting. >> the time commitment? our commitment. >> is to stand up 1500 beds. we are focused on unsheltered homelessness. we believe we can get people off the street and into shelter. that is our commitment we need. >> how about the six months? >> the 1500 is in six months? we. and that's why we need this to pass. and we need it to pass quickly. >> there is no reason why anybody would expect this. in fact, nobody expects this. but i do wonder, given the enormity of the problem and the $800 million budget crisis in the city, would you consider have you thought about again, nobody expects this to maybe commit some of your own personal funds to solve some of these big problems in the city

of san francisco? >> well, i did forego a salary. i'm taking a $1 a year salary from the residents. i believe they are going to see a mayor that is working tirelessly day and night on these issues. and by the way, what i will tell you is i'm loving this job. i love this city. i love the work that we're doing. there are tough challenges ahead. we have historic challenges. as you just pointed out, $800 million at least. and with the noise coming out of dc, that budget deficit could get higher. so we have to look at every avenue to help our residents. and i think i've shown my personal commitment. >> since you bring that up, do you see do you see foresee a situation where you may have to make political compromises in order to get the money that san francisco needs? >> listen, right now my focus is on delivering results for the people of san francisco. you know, you're asking kind of a pretty broad, hypothetical question. you know, we're going

to work with city officials like we're doing around this ordinance. we're going to work with state officials, and we are going to work with federal officials. we have to deliver results for the people of san francisco. >> i'm going to beg my producer for a little more time here, because we can't let you go without talking about some big upcoming events in the city of san francisco. i know february 15th is probably on your calendar. all star weekend and. city you chinese new year parade in san francisco. i know you're very excited about this. is it just because of the celebration of culture, or is it because of the economic activity? tell me what you think. >> about it. i mean. >> what other city in the world shows off when we are at our best? we're the greatest city in the world. and that weekend we got the lunar new year parade. i'm a grand marshal. you're co-hosting it? >> yeah. >> so we'll be hanging out there. we got the three point shootout, the slam dunk competition the same night at chase center. we're going to be running around events all weekend long, and we get to show off. and yes, it's great for economic benefits. with that

deficit. we need more revenue coming to our city. we need to attract more conventions, more visitors, more conferences. and by the way, we're starting to see those come back to san francisco. the jp morgan healthcare conference went so well that they've re-upped for next year. that brought in $100 million, or close to it in revenue to our city. san francisco is on its way back. >> all right. that was my conversation with mayor daniel lurie. you can find my entire interview with him on our website, abc7 news.com. some business owners in the area say a police standoff in san francisco's south of market neighborhood that ended with one man dead comes as no surprise to them. that shooting happened last night around five on mission and ninth. abc seven news reporter lena howland talked with neighbors about what led to the police shooting. >> moments of panic unfolding on the streets of san francisco's soma district monday night. >> i saw somebody come out of a building with a gun and shooting, like, three times point blank range. >> robert, who lives near ninth and mission, had a front row

seat to the violence. >> it was. >> slow motion, you know, like, i mean, there was nothing i could do about it, you know, it happened so fast, but yet it was so slow. you know, you just came out and, like, very coldly. shot the gentleman. >> ken, the owner of all star cafe, says a man shot the owner of a vape shop across the street. >> he's been there about like 5 to 6 years, i believe, and it's already been tough for me. we talk all the time, you know, it's tough. it's really tough to do business. and now that he got shot up and he's injured and hurt and hopefully, hopefully he's alive. >> police say the man who shot the shop owner then ran inside of a nearby building. this led to an hours long standoff. police say they set up a perimeter and used special tactical and hostage negotiation teams, but they say the suspect failed to come out. and that's when police shot the man. he died on scene.

>> normal. it's normal. >> carlos hernandez lives two blocks away and says this is nothing new. >> i mean, people, it's a lot of drug dealers, okay? it's a lot of drugs going on here, and. when drugs is involved, people do stuff like that. crazy. they high, they drunk or they they need money. >> meanwhile, the all star cafe is asking city officials and police to keep a close watch on this area. >> i just don't want to see this continue happening. i love the city, grew up here. i have my own business here and i want to be around here for longer. i want my neighbors to be around here for longer. i want people to feel safe. >> sfpd says a town hall meeting regarding this police shooting will be held within the next ten days in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> alameda county could have a new district attorney by tonight. the board of supervisors is set to make a final decision about who will

replace recalled da pamela price. currently, there are seven candidates, so the board last week interviewed all seven of them annie esposito, elgin lowe and jimmy wilson all work in bay area district attorney's offices right now. meanwhile, latricia lewis and eben chen both work as counsel for local governments. ursula jones dixon is a judge and venus johnson works for the state attorney general. the new da will serve through 2026, when the position will be up for election again. a big loss for jack london square in oakland. abc seven news has confirmed that the waterfront hotel will close on friday. it was previously reported that hyatt was cease managing the hotel in late march due to financial issues with the owner. now the hotel's closure is just days away. no word on what will happen, with reservations booked after friday or what employees can expect. we've had some chilly nights this week, right? here's meteorologist drew tuma with when we'll snap the cold spell. >> we're finding increasing

sunshine. >> out there and warming temperatures, but we'll do it all again tomorrow and the day after with this morning frost advisory and freeze warning. we keep those chilly mornings through thursday. now on friday, we will get rid of some of that chill. we'll bring back storms to northern california. we're tracking rain here locally and some snow coming to the sierra and through the weekend and early next week. it does look to remain unsettled as rain continues in the forecast. we like to see that. temperatures right now we are well in the 20s and 30s earlier this morning, so we've gained about 10 to 20 degrees of warmth since the sun got up here. 50s for oakland, san francisco, san jose, still in the 40s for part of the north bay. but we'll find nice, pleasant temperatures later on this afternoon. here's future weather. lots of sunshine, mid 50s, low 60s. that's pretty average for this time of the year. now one change we'll notice tonight compared to the past couple of nights, our marine layer comes back in a big way. there you can see the cloud cover overhead. and that's going to limit how cold we get and the

overnight hours it insulates us. so we're not expecting as cold of a night on the way as we were say, the past couple of nights. so it's for that fact. we do have frost advisories and freeze warnings up tomorrow morning, but you notice they're not as widespread as they have been. it's mainly for the valleys of the north bay and the valleys of the south bay. that's where we'll find some of the coolest temperatures in the 30s. i'm not expecting any 20s on the board first thing tomorrow morning, so not as cold to begin wednesday. highs today, 58. in the city. we'll go to 59 in oakland, 62 in san jose. the same in santa rosa. up to 60 degrees in concord. now overnight tonight it is chilly, just not as cold, relatively speaking, as we have been the past couple of nights. we'll see 30s and 40s as we head into wednesday. now wednesday and thursday we are dry starting friday evening into the weekend we are bringing back rain with the latest information. we continue to see a trend where some of the heaviest rain is slowly shifting to the south, making its way closer to the bay area instead of the north coast.

so we're likely going to see some higher amounts in the north bay, probably a couple of inches through the weekend of rain. and those numbers do drop off a bit as you head into the city, the east bay, the south bay. but still, over the past couple of days, those numbers have been increasing as well. the snow forecast. a lot of this is going to fall on saturday, so future weather around lake level, probably 4 to 6in of snow. our higher peaks probably in excess of a foot of snow. so we will likely get some sort of winter storm watch or winter weather advisory for saturday for some tough travel as that snow falls down. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. it was a frosty morning again tomorrow. we'll do it again on thursday then rain is back here friday evening with on and off showers through the weekend. right now it is a level one on the storm impact scale. we do anticipate the highest rainfall totals to be in the north bay. >> we're following a dizzying round of executive actions from president trump today. the pushback, following reports that the white house paused federal grants, and the action just taken by a judge and the sports star who is stepping up to try

lawsuits saying the white house's move was unconstitutional. >> not only does this administration's new policy put people at risk, but it is plainly unconstitutional. >> in a memo, the office of management and budget orders agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs to ensure any grants are consistent with the president's executive orders around topics like non-governmental organizations, diversity, equity and inclusion, and foreign aid. >> the american people elected president trump to be the president of the united states, and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal dollar. >> the memo gives little guidance on what programs need to be suspended, short of carving out exceptions for medicare and social security benefits, plus assistance provided directly to individuals. but nonprofits like meals on wheels distribute to individuals, and today said the memo is creating chaos, adding the seniors it serves will panic, not knowing where their next meal will come from and on federal payment processing websites. today, multiple state

agencies are reporting error messages like this, warning of delays and or rejections of payments. a group of state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit to block the directive, calling it unconstitutional. democratic leaders and some republicans pushing back. >> all i can say right now, i hope it's short lived. there's no reason for the disruption. >> the federal judge blocked the policy from taking effect until monday, february 3rd. a hearing is scheduled for that morning. christiane cordero, abc news, washington. >> he may have made it to the nba, but he hasn't forgotten his roots. the star, who is stepping up to try to save the athleti
