on this for a while now. according to a survey by apartment list, 25% of renters are spending half of what they earn on their rent and half of renters are spending a third of what they make. look at the numbers, see if this is what you are paying. bay area rent for a two-bedroom apartment. we are talking 2500 in san jose, 2200 in oakland. $3,000? san francisco. for reference, i threw in los angeles where the rent is an average of 1700. new york city is actually almost less than living in the bay area. next tuesday, the san jose council will vote to amend the apartment rent ordinance that could cap rent increases to 5% a year without allowing landlords to bank the unused increase for use at a later date. another option ties the increases to a regional index. i am going to post those numbers for you from that survey on

facebook. i want to know what you think. you can go in and see, if you don't live in these big metropolitan areas. of course, we will follow that san jose city council discussion on rent control. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. it is 6:04. happening in berkeley, a march against hollywood. organizers say it's a stand against hypocrisy in the entertainment industry. the march comes as another big name celebrity is accused of sexual misconduct by five women. at least two say 50 yield lewis undressed and masturbated in front of them according to a report by "the new york times." the new york premier for his new movie today has been canceled. the comedian's publicist says he is not answering questions. in the meantime, a developing political scandal. roy moore is staying in the race

for the u.s. senate despite people urging him not to. this is after allegations he forced a 14-year-old girl into a sexual encounter when he was 32. 70-year-old moore, in a statement, denies the allegations and calls it fake news. moore is holding an 11-point lead in the election. the special election is next month. continuing coverage. we are waiting to learn if president trump will meet with vladimir putin in vietnam. they are there for the economic summit. at this moment, the white house says there is no formal meeting scheduled. the kremlin said the two will meet. president trump said he wants to work with everybody to ensure fair trade. >> united states is prepared to work with each of the leaders in this room today to achieve mutually beneficial commerce in the interest of both your countries and mine. >> potential meeting comes amid the russian investigation here

in our country. the "today" show has a reporter live in vietnam and our scott mcgrew will also get his analysis later in the hour. >> it is 6:06. new this morning, claims from pg&e about the possible cause for a deadly north bay fire. the utility company filed papers saying the tubbs fire may have been started by electrical equipment, just not pg&e's. the gear was owned, installed and maintained bay third party. we don't know who that third party is and no precise description of the equipment is given. several lawsuits were filed against the utility by fire victims. a star studded concert raises millions of dollars for fire victims. ♪ >> they were rocking out at at&t park. metallica and dave matthews

donated their time for the sold-out show. it raised $15 million for first responders. victims say that money is crucial. >> that money is super important to so many because it's some insurance companies are dragging their feet. that is important. that money is their lifeline. >> people who lost everything in the fire say last night's concert was a much needed mental break from the recovery effort. the 49ers are hoping to broke the 0-9 losing streak. this morning, you will notice how empty levi stadium is. that left us thinking how bad is attendance? >> bob redell is outside levi stadium with what we found out. >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. for the average person at home watching the football game, turn on the tv, see all those empty

seats at levi stadium and you are thinking, boy, attendance is way down. it would be considering how awful their record is right now. they are winless so far in this season. we did reach out to the team and they tell us that attendance is not as low as you might think. the organization says that 55,000 people attended last sunday's game against the cardinals. that's an 85% attendance rate when you consider there are 65,000 sellable tickets per game. the 49ers believe the shots of the empty stands are misleading. a number of fans pay for the internal areas. you don't have to pay much to see the 49ers pay in person. for example, on stub hub, you can get nosebleed against the new york giants for 19 bucks. put that in perspective, you are going to spend more on parking than the game. club seats, $220. as you mentioned and i

mentioned, the 49ers are winless at 0-9. the giants isn't much better at 1-7. the odds makers in vegas are favoring the giants to win. just barely. live outside levi stadium in santa clara, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. right now at 6:09, as we start out this morning, mostly cloudy skies around the bay area. you don't want to forget the umbrella. we will have a chance throughout the day. 54 degrees in the peninsula and the south bay as well as the east bay and 55 degrees in the north bay. we have seen the showers moving through the north bay right now. there's rain lining up offshore that will work its way in the san francisco and peninsula as well. as we look at the high temperatures for this afternoon, low 60s for the coast and upper 60s for the inlands valleys. overall, not a bad day and we won't see rain the whole day into the afternoon. i'll have more on that. mike is saying there's a new crash in palo alto.

>> looks like a significant crash. most of the bay, look at the green sensors. you can't see much of a problem. behind this shield on the map. we zoom in to northbound 101. you see all the slowing kicking in just over the last ten min utds, blocking lanes. at least two lanes are blocked from what we understand. a couple vehicles, chp arrived on scene. chp to find out what they know as they arrive on scene. i'll let you know if it's going to take a significant amount of time to clear. squad cars are heading over there. 280 is moving smooth. there's the option for you. same for elcamino . the metering lights are on. no problems. look at these great speeds through the maze. back to you. >> thanks a lot, mike. coming up on "today in the bay," the candidates at the top of the polls this morning in the race for california governor.

happy friday. it's 6:13. a lot of people out there on the roads as we take a live look outside in san jose. let's check out the temperature trend for santa teresa where it starts in the upper 50s to low

60s. a mix of sun and clouds. we see more clouds mixing in this afternoon. we will have a slight chance of rain in the south bay. we are seeing the rain in the north bay. now, take a look at the radar and what's ahead for the weekend coming up in five minutes. >> in the distance, the palo alto camera, this is the crash blocking almost all of your lanes from highway 101 northbound. we'll talk about what we see as far as chp reports. there you go, the slowdown on our sensors. >> thanks, mike. we are getting an updated sense of how 2018 races might turn out. we looked at a new poll. gavin newsome leads with 31%. former los angeles mayor, polled at 21%. republicans say assemblyman allen is polling at 15%. senator dianne feinstein is

receiving overwhelming support, 58% say they would vote for her if the election were held today. state senator leader, kevin deleon. house minority leader, nancy pelosi is in the bay area, expected to talk about the republicans tax plan in san francisco. the democratic leader is joining barbara lee, bay area advocate and middle class american. they are discussing the negative impact of the gop tax plan. pelosi called it a, quote, scam. fix the autocorrect bug. it automatically changes the letter "i" to an "a" and question mark. it's frustrating a lot of people. the update fixes a problem where siri stopped working. two different tax proposals

on capitol hill. >> scott mcgrew says both will need some fixing. >> that's right. they are early drafts. take the version from the house and the senate. get them to agree. the senate version just revealed. we looked over the house version for some time. i know you are not following every twist and turn. the bottom line on this friday morning, the house version, as it stands, adds too much to the deficit. that means senators, when they get the bill, couldn't pass it under reconciliation. the senate version solves that but delays corporate tax cuts. cutting corporate taxes is the primary reason for the tax cuts. paul ryan said over and over, everybody gets a cut, everybody. the latest analysis shows a third to half of middle class would see their taxes go up. the quick math for republicans is this, if you cut taxes anywhere, you have to raise them somewhere else or come up with

creative math or you are going to add to the deficit. if you add to the deficit, the rules change. then the democrats get a say. other news, the girl scouts committed millions to s.t.e.m. for girls. there are no s.t.e.m. batches. the boy scouts are going to allow girls into the boy scouts. girl scouts are angry about that. i asked the head of the girl scouts why. if they were a golf club or business entity and they said we are admitting girls, we would say it's about time. >> we are excited about our space. we are experts in girls. so, you know, if you want your girl to have this amazing leadership experience to really get very fun and life affirming experience, we are for her. >> you notice silvia, a former

rocket scientist, really didn't answer the question. i press her on it. it's on press here after "meet the press" sunday at 9:00 a.m. >> every sunday morning. 6:18 now. holiday box office ramping up. you can catch a star studded event on murder on the orient express. it's turned into an oscar winning film in 1974. john johnny depp is in the newest edition. a detective has toz find out who killed a fellow passenger. everyone is a suspect. i want to see this one. rated pg-13. >> if you are looking for a comedy, mark wahlberg and will ferrell return to the big screen in "daddy's home 2." they have their first christmas together, but their dads, played by mel gibson turn the holidays into a chaos.

it's rated pg-13. >> looks like you don't have to say it's number one. >> i don't think the story line is contingent upon -- >> no. >> you can figure that one out. now, something to do for the weekend. >> there's a lot to do especially since we will have the weather clearing out. we are seeing times of rain out of and on the past 24 hours and lingers this morning as you head out. here is a look at the radar. you can see a lot of green for the north bay. wet weather moving through. the soechb day forecast is coming up on the bottom of the screen showing more rain on the way over the next several days. getting a closer look at what's happening here in parts of sonoma county and santa rosa. you can see it's covered with light rain at this point, making for a soggy morning drive. allow extra time to get to work. the roads and bridges may be wet. marin county, down 101, it looks

towering cumulus clouds. let's see your rainbow photos. i got a couple on instagram. temperatures will be low to mid-60s as we go to the next several days for the inland areas. upper 60s for the weekend. saturday looking perfect for all those veterans day festivities. >> a look at the crash in palo alto. >> i was able to find it off in the distance. you can see the flashing lights. we have four squad cars there now. there are no reports of major injuries. this is northbound 101 toward the embarcadero ramp there, shy of university. one lane gets by. look at all the headlights on east bay shore. the roadway alongside the area. you can see the cement barrier. that's the construction area where there's the lane shift. it's likely the lane shift and the construction barriers may have caused someone to make a

sudden change. we are going to track this and let you know. on the maps, we see the build up forming. we talked about the road and all the traffic there. if you get over toward elcamino , middlefield or 280, you are completely clear. it's the only issue heading into palo alto and the metering lights that are on. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 6:22. coming up next, remembering the lives lost in the recent shootings in las vegas and texas. the tribute today for victims and loved ones. we mentioned earlier, the president is in vietnam. on social media, right now, bob redell is sharing video from an emotional return from that country with his father, marine corps veteran. go to twitter to see that touching moment. a local memorial - dedicated to

accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president,

then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it. scattered rain during the right now at 6:30 on your friday morning, we could see scattered rain during the morning commute and then rain in the forecast as soon as this

screen software. one that prohibits them from hiring sex offenders and felons. companies faced $5,000 for drivers with those records that are still on the road. in a statement, the decision recognizes the strength and effectiveness. they are happy for the safety and economic opportunity for drivers. live at sfo, pete suratos, "today in the bay." >> thanks. city council public safety will not hold a hearing to discuss an august immigration. a social justice advocacy group claims the police chief lied about whether anyone had been charged. they question whether it violates local police from participating in local investigation. they say they pulled the hearing from the agenda because police are investigating the complaint. oakland's mayor is defending the
