4:34 am
no showers. cold food. they were putting little notes of paper up against the glass saying "help me." >> reporter: on friday, vice president mike pence toured the same facility with a much different assessment. >> every family that i spoke to told me that they were being toric ared for, and different that we hear from democrats on capitol hill, our customs and border protection are doing their level best to provide compassionate care to these families in a manner the american people would expect. >> reporter: but eshoo says if americans could see these conditions for themselves, they coup woo condemn the care offered here. she says the u.s. needs to do more to improve the safety of people in central america to stop hundreds from seeking asylum in the u.s. >> these are people that are fleeing the most horrendous violence. >> reporter: eshoo says the treatment of these detainees is inhumane and america needs to do

4:45 am
ukiah. we have our typical weather pattern with the cool and cloudy coast and some warm valleys as high pressure sets up across the desert southwest. as we go throughout the week, anot not a whole lot of changes as the weekend a low pressure approaches the pacific northwest. for us, that will bring in cooler and a stronger ocean breeze. as we go throughout the forecast, we once again see some mid 80s for today, as well as tomorrow. only some slight cooling going into the end of the week. we'll bring it down a few more degrees but i think we'll see more widespread low 80s rather than a few 90s, and then for san francisco, we're going to see all 60s throughout the week with a mix of sun and clouds. mike, you are checking out the view in palo alto. >> i wanted to pint of point out for those of you who might have caught flashing lights and brake lights that's your crew clearing. we don't have a full block, don't have a traffic break that i've seen over the last few but i have seen one lane with flashing lights starting to clear around willow, headed

4:47 am
on one. >> reporter: mayor london breed could become one of the longest serving mayors in san francisco history that's because when she finishes her current term, which was left vacant after mayor ed lee passed away, she's still eligible to run for two more full terms. that's a total of nine and a half years, which means policies pun lasting effects. so we're taking a look at what she's done during her first year in office. marquis osby doesn't know where he'll sleep tonight. he's 30 years old and homeless. could you just walk into a shelter and get a bed? >> no. you have to go through the process of going to a shelter, signing up, waiting, coming back. it's a whole process. >> reporter: more than a thousand people are on the city's wait list to get into a homeless shelter. so marquise spends his night in a tent, that is until today when he says police forced him to hand it over. >> they came up and they took my
4:48 am
tent. my tent was about right here. >> reporter: law enforcement has increasingly partnered with public works to clear homeless encampments across the city. since mayor london breed took office tents dropped 380. the number of homeless tents is down, but the amount of homeless people is actually up. so is the city really making progress? >> well, i would getting almost 1,500 people who were on the streets off the streets is real progress. i'm trying to address what we know is the biggest challenge our city faces and that is homelessness. >> reporter: the city says each week it takes about 50 more people out of homelessness and into housing, but at the same time, another 150 people wind up homeless in san francisco. over the past two years, the homeless population is increased to more than 8,000, that's a 17% spike. santa clara, contra costa, and alameda counties are
4:49 am
experiencing even larger increases. but homeless advocates say san francisco is still spending too much time and resources shifting people from one block to the next. >> like this sidewalk shuffle, because they're not actually being given a real alternative. >> reporter: kelly cutler is with the coalition on homelessness. so in your view, fewer homeless tents isn't translating to fewer homeless people. it means homeless people sleeping outside are often having to do it without tents. >> yes, that's all it means. we have a housing and a health crisis, and this city is often responding with law enforcement. they're going through often taking people's belongings, giving people citations. >> reporter: vanessa tea got this ticket after police found her on a sidewalk with a tent. it's a misdemeanor that could result in a $1,000 fine and possible jail time. how many of these tickets have you received? >> maybe 20. >> reporter: 20? >> yes. >> reporter: that's just over the past year and a half. on any given night, there are
4:50 am
more than 1,000 people on the wait list for shelters. will that change? >> my goal is to change that. i mean, since i've been in office, we've had almost 400 new shelter beds. i'm pledging to make sure that we have a thousand by 2020. >> reporter: the mayor is proposing to spend more than $364 million next year on the city's homeless crisis. that's $80 million more than this year. her plan is to expand housing grants to help keep families from becoming homeless, add shelter nurses and social workers, along with 820 permanent housing units for the homeless. another $4 million would go toward the city's efforts to clear away homeless encampments but it's unclear just how many homeless get housed, after they're forced to give up their tents and ordered to move someplace else. >> they're still homeless. >> reporter: matthew zimmerman and his fiance andrea boomer frame art and photos for a living but say the view outside their san francisco shop isn't
4:51 am
so picture perfect. >> i actually just checked my revenue in the past from last year to this year and i'm down 25%. the last couple years, things have gotten worse as far as the amount of people that are on the streets, and amount of open drug use. >> thank you. >> reporter: while campaigning, breed said as mayor she'd work to have san francisco open the nation's first supervised injection site where people can openly use drugs under the care of medical supervision. la y actlly worked to rehab drug users. but when california lawmakers struggled to legalize the centers in san francisco, breed vowed to move ahead anyway, even though the sites would violate federal law. you had said that san francisco doesn't need to wait on the state to open a supervised injection site but the city still doesn't have one. what happened to your plan? >> well, if it were just me and you know, i was only putting myself at risk, it would be one thing, but it does potentially
4:52 am
put unfortunately non-profit and city workers at risk of being imprisoned, and we need the support from the state. >> reporter: san francisco's dirty streets have also been a focus for the mayor. the city now has a dedicated four-person team to clean feces five days a week. a separate crew picks up used syringes 12 hoursh day. when will people be able to see real cng>>ell, there has been c. the fact is, the number of calls are down for needles, for feces, for trash pickup, all over the city, if you look at the data from the 311 calls, you'll see that they're down. >> reporter: complaints over needles and feces have declined in the last six months. compared to the mayor's first six months in office, but complaints to the city over trash have increased slightly. the mayor's budget plan for the next two years includes an extra
4:53 am
$3 million for street cleaning. san francisco already outspends many other larger cities, including los angeles and chicago. and the mayor is expected to sign the city's new $12 billion budget into law by next month. >> bigad, thank you. if you have a story for our investigative unit,r visit our website, nbcbayarea.com/investigations. >> 4:53. happening now in the uk, ellen turralan turing is the ne face of the $50 bill. he helped to develop a machine that could crack germany's code. the bank of england says the new bill should entersirk sclags cn 2021. we'll be right back.
