epidemic fueled by juul with their kid-friendly flavors. san francisco voters stopped the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. but then juul, backed by big tobacco, wrote prop c to weaken e-cigarette protections. the san francisco chronicle reports prop c is an audacious overreach, threatening to overturn the ban on flavored products approved by voters. prop c means more kids vaping. that's a dangerous idea. vote no on juul. no on big tobacco. no on prop c. election day is less than 48 hours away, and a lot of attention will be on prop a in san francisco. supporters rallied at velores park. it is a $600 million housing bond. it would create affordable housing for seniors, low-income

families and more. >> make sure that would not raise one cent in property taxes. so $600 million bond because that's as much as we could do without raising taxes. that was a promise that they made. >> but opponents say it's a band-aid that just won't work. if it passes it would be the largest housing bond in san francisco history. we've all experienced the housing crisis in the bay area one way or another, especially in the silicon valley. we have seen the price of homes and rent skyrocket in the past 20 or 30 years. so our investigative unit teamed up with reporters from telemundo, the mercury news, kqed and reveal from the center from investigative reporting to find out exactly who owns silicon valley. here's senior investigator stephen stock. >> reporter: this is a project a year in the making. our teamworked with the assessor's office to obtain and put into a database the details of who owned every piece of property in santa clara county as of the end of 2018.

then we crunched the numbers to find out exactly who owns silicon valley. property records show taxable land value in santa clara county now exceeds $519 billion. and the property assessor estimates the market value exceeds 1.5 trillion. >> it's hard to live in this economy. >> reporter: but all of that wealth leaves behind thousands of working-class folks like felix and his wife. >> they have raised the price a lot. >> reporter: a janitor at nasa aims felix and his family had to fight to stay in the apartment they have rented for 11 years after the complex was sold, and the new unnamed owners tried to raise the rent and prompted some of diaz's neighbors to leave. >> they started doing things like try to evict us. >> reporter: he would like to know exactly who owns and controls the apartments where he lives. >> do you know who actually owns them? >> no, we don't. >> reporter: would you like to

know? >> probably. we knew the previous owner because he was always here. >> reporter: our investigation uncovered that the new owners of diaz's apartment complex include four different entities making it difficult for diaz or any resident to go to any one person in case of problems like he did in the past. >> well, yeah. it made us frustrated. >> why are we seeing higher rates in these cities? >> what is going on with google? how much have they bought? >> that would just be a good data question for you all to answer. >> reporter: that's why we teamed up with these stations in an unprecedented year-long investigation. >> how is there even oversight? >> like, if you picture your bell curve. >> reporter: to examine every property record in santa clara souchl to find out exactly who owns each piece of silicon valley. this map shows the top ten owners leading the way stanford

university which has owned property since the 1880s, by far the largest owner in monetary value in santa clara county. next on the list, relatively recent land owners apple around since 1976 and google founded in 1998. they're followed by developers the irvine and jay paul companies, cisco systems, essex property. like apple and google, much of this owner began relatively recently including during the we could wave of the tech boom following the 2008 recession. compare the ownership boom and the rise in jobs since then with an almost identical increase in rents in the median price for a home. and you can see how the economic growth is also pricing out middle-class and lower-wage earners. >> there is no question that this is all of our problem. >> reporter: he says the huge amount of income by these corporations also creates a

problem. >> over the last six to seven years we have been job growth exceed housing production by a ratio of six to one. and that's a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: mayor lacardo and the assessor say they have not done enough to build enough housing to keep up. >> i don't think any major tech company is doing enough. >> housing development is not keeping up with employment growth. >> reporter: former mountain view mayor places even more blame on all the local political leaders who he says didn't do enough to require big tech to pay up and provide more housing and infrastructure when they first came to town. >> some of the communities around here have a sense of ex-clusivity. so the cities in northern santa clara county historically have emphasized job growth and not residential growth. >> less than 10% of our teachers

live here in palo alto. less than 7% of our city staff lives here in palo alto. >> reporter: he says that makes it hard to hire anyone. >> we began taking measures to try to constrain job growth to the point where we could realistically keep us on housing. >> and you know it's going to kill us. >> reporter: he says not enough has been done. he compares silicon valley to detroit during the automotive boom in the 1950s and '60s. >> the population has gone from 2 million to 600,000. and i truly believe that if we do not solve our housing problem in general that we will eventually go the way of detroit. rj most of the top property owners such as apple and sicso declined our offer to discuss these issues. felix did respond and said that they follow all the laws and do

not take evictions lightly noting that they have served only two unlawful detainers since taking over. we also spoke to another company that's embracing these expectations and the challenges of actually building new housing, creating a company town, as it were, even while drawing criticism from some who will be displaced as that company grows. we'll have that story and that company tonight at 11:00. we'll see you then. san mateo county could soon have one of the toughest e-cigarette laws in the country. two supervisors plan to introduce an ordinance on tuesday that would ban the sale of all e-cigarette products in unincorporated san mateo county. with dozen of deaths linked to vaping and nearly 2,000 people sick, it is clear that e-cigarettes are dangerous. they want to take steps to make sure that more kids don't start using vaping products. san francisco already has a similar ban. still ahead, a new football team coming to oakland.

>> reporter: that brought heavy winds and rain moving what most thought was an unmovable metal ship. the boat toppled over and pivoted about 150 feet. now just under 2,000 feet from its inevitable fate. >> that also gives you a sense of the power of the river here and the power of n niagara fall. >> reporter: stuck there over 101 years ago. >> it broke away from its tug with two men on board. it got stuck just short of going over the horse shoe waterfall. and they did rescue the two men in dramatic fashion. they were stuck out there overnight. but they were able to get them back on dry land. and the skow has been there ever since. the rescue happened from the canadian side. but it wouldn't have happened without the help of members of the u.s. coast guard. >> reporter: the symbol of bravery and cooperation on display for the nearly 12 million tourists that visit the falls each year.

a piece of history that will live on even after the ship is gone. kend yes gibson, nbc news. >> rob joining us now talking about some real dry nice weather. >> at least temperature wise, a nice weekend. the reason why some of our morning temperatures have been so chilly, the clear skies and dry air. so overnight temperatures should trend a bit more mild and take a little bite out of the dry conditions we've seen for the last couple of days. right now san jose it's 59 degrees, clear skies, similar communications as we take you to walnut creek. but the biggest change happening right now near the golden gate bridge and the coast, the return of the fog. high earlier today closer to 70 in san francisco. but it's the return of the on-shore wind. now as high pressure strengthens

we'll have to watch this by mid-week. notice air quality, the localized smoke pollution we could see would be from local businesses and homes. this isn't wildfire smoke anymore. but as high pressure builds over the region, that could add like a lid and trap some of the smoke in the region. so we may see winter spare the air alerts. but for now it's a sea breeze and the low clouds. and across the inner bayou might notice some patchy low clouds for your morning commute near san francisco and the immediate coast. but inland temperatures still for another night around santa rosa, temperatures in the 30s, elsewhere mid-40s to start the day. and then dress in layers heading into the afternoon. 73 in oakland and a bit cooler around half moon bay and the upper 60s. high pressure is going to open

up for storms to return to the pacific northwest. but as it recenters over california, that's the reason why we might see some air quality issues around wednesday and thursday. and also temperatures likely to trend a little bit warmer through friday. the not so good news is this high really isn't going anywhere. all the way through monday of next week the long-range models still keeping things very dry even by mid-november standards right now through the 13th doesn't look like much in the way of rain. in the meantime san francisco will have a return of low clouds, a little more moisture in the air. trending warmer later on in the week. for the valleys we will see temperatures cooling a little bit. wednesday into thursday then we could see a few more 70s to 80 by next friday. so if you like this weekend's weather, copy and paste it into next weekend. >> and a lot of people across the country saying, wow, it's a

nice place to be. not so bad right now. for the first time in months the raiders actually played a home game. >> colosseum was rocking today as the raiders pulled out a thriller against detroit. here's dave feldman with the highlights. >> hi, everybody. i'm dave feldman at the xfinity sports desk. the raiders were dealt a grueling schedule. seven consecutive week as way from home. but the good news, is that stretch is finally over. with the win today at the colosseum against the lions the silver and black could find themselves just one game back of the wild card. that's pretty good after all that travel. raiders, lions, gruden, carr, second quarter raiders now trail by 4. matthew stafford looks for kenny. but worley comes up with a big interception. critical moment for the raiders. 406 yards. 4th quarter, game tied at 17, carr. finds the rookie foster maroux.

289 yards and two touchdowns for carr who is on top of his game. game tied after lions touchdown minutes earlier. all four oakland touchdowns came from rookies. renfrow's second touchdown of the season and second in two weeks. eight seconds remain. fourth down. raiders take a time-out. stafford sends it to logan thomas. but carl joseph breaks it up. haders hold on to win 3 #-24. john fwruden, what do you have? >> well, it's pretty obvious. we are building our team. i am just going to continue to hit that cord. every week we'd like to go to the super bowl. but we are building a team. and i like some of the blocks that we got in place. >> and we got to play in front of our fans. it was loud, especially towards the end zone as always, which i miss, i love, i laugh about all

the time. they probably think i'm mad all the time. i am just trying to hear coach gruden call the play. i love this place. so to come home in front of them and get a win. it'd be nice to win 40-0 sometime. >> that's all the time we have. i'm dave feldman. more news right after the break. tv just keeps getting better.
