vote that could forever change the face of downtown san jose. city council will decide whether to green light google's massive development. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live in downtown san jose this morning, where the plan stands now. where does it stand, kris? >> reporter: well, this is the plan that has been years in the making, google has been acquiring properties and making plans, the city has been deciding how to navigate that, and now it looks like the council will have a final vote today. the massive downtown campus in the area of diridon station and the s.a.p. center, the shark stank where the sharks play will be a workplace for up to 25,000 employees but there are also plans for 4,000 homes including some that are at or below market, so affordable housing units. if the council votes to allow it, google could break ground as early as next year and it could go faster than we're used to.
5:05 am
joined elected officials to sign legislation that would speed up housing construction by cutting through some of the red tape, easing density rules, and the state's environmental review process. of course, we are going to cover the discussion that happens at san jose city hall although it will be happening virtually and we will bring that to you later on today on "nbc bay area news." in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. let's take a live look at sfo this morning, with about two months until the olympic games in tokyo, a new warning this morning from the state department. the agency is urging americans not to travel to japan following a surge in covid-19 cases. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live at sfo this morning with reaction from local olympians and what the olympic committee is saying as well. just right on the footsteps of the olympics about to happen,
5:06 am
cierra. >> reporter: yes, good morning. as we inch closer to the olympics, about 59 days out now, that warning from the state department comes out, japan currently seeing that drastic spike of covid cases as well as covid cases, but the cases coming as the japanese government has begun vaccinating some of those health care workers and those over 65. now take a look at your screen, this chart will give you a better idea of what the folks in japan are dealing with, according to nbc news tally. the country has had over 36,000 covid-19 cases and 779 deaths in the last seven days and nearly 716,000 cases overall. it is important to note that the fans coming from abroad were banned from attending the tokyo games months ago but athletes, teams and officials allowed to travel. most metro areas in japan under a state of emergency because of rising cases. back in the bay, a few athletes we spoke with said they feel
5:07 am
safe as they prepare to head to those games. >> we understand that it's going to be challenging, it's going to be different than any olympics. we'll be isolated because we have the olympic village where we're staying at the one bubble. within that team usa has its own bubble and within that our own fencing group, its own little bubble. >> reporter: the committee that oversees team usa issued a statement saying in part "we feel confident that the current mitigation practices in place for athletes and staff, coupled with the testing before travel, on arrival in japan and during games will allow for safe participation of team usa this summer." so while the u.s. department has issued that advisory, flat out saying do not travel to japan, japan's chief cabinet secretary says in his weekly press conference that warning does not prohibit essential travel and does not prohibit those olympians from the u.s. olympic team from coming to japan. so it is of course a story we'll continue to follow as the
5:08 am
country is getting bombarded with new cases and unfortunately new death there is in japan.e ts come down for the people of japan. thank you. in contra costa county, concord police are looking for who is responsible for a shooting outside of the sun valley mall. you probably heard about this, it happened yesterday around 6:00 last night between sears and red robin. police say one person had been shot, was taken to the hospital. the suspect got in the car and took off. no word on the victim's condition, shortly after that shooting, police said there was no danger to the mall employees or shoppers. this morning, we are still working to learn what led up to a deadly shooting, this one just one block from oakland police department. officers say they could hear that gunfire inside the headquarters yesterday, then immediately scrambled outside to that scene, where they found a man on the ground next to a car. paramedics tried to save him but sadly the man died.
5:09 am
investigators believe the shoot something not random and there may have been several shooters. it is official this morning, dominic foppoli in longer the mayor of windsor. he posted an official resignation less than 24 hours ago. he faces sex auto ul assault allegations from nine women including a former tv reality star sarah abraham. she claims he sexually assaulted her in a palm beach, florida, hotel in march. her attorney says she has provided evidence even though foppoli resigned as mayor, he insists he did not engage in any non-consensual acts. happening today, santa clara county supervisors are expected to decide whether to adopt a new law that would give courts the power to order treatment for people suffering from severe mental illness. the proposal is called laura's law. if the county opts into the assisted outpatient treatment program judges have the power to force someone into mental heat
5:10 am
treatment. some disagree about whether the program is a tool to help those in need or a violation of civil rights. so far 21 of california's 58 counties opted into that program. for those making it in the bay, new proof the bay area not benefiting like other regions when it comes to the pandemic related real estate boom. a new zillow report finds a jump in year over year median prices here are the lowest anywhere. san jose metro area saw a 6% appreciation year over year. san francisco which includes four other counties was at 7%. the number may sound great but other cities are much higher, take a look in austin, texas, climbing 25%. the median there though is still only about one-third of the bay area's and nationally prices went up about 12%. 5:10. how about a little breath of
5:11 am
fresh air as we take a live look in downtown san jose waiting for the sun's arrival. we're up before the birds sometimes. here on "today in the bay" 5:10. the days have been quite glorious, very spring-like and you were mentioning temperature also continue, nice ones today, for the bay area, as we wake up to a mostly clear sky in the south bay. there will be some fog near the coast and we'll see temperatures warm for the inland areas but if you're making holiday weekend plans, it's going to be warming up and actually feeling more like summer, as we unofficially welcome in summer and watching out for some sierra rain. we'll talk more about all of this coming up. mike, what's going on now the morning commute? >> we still have that issue on the peninsula, into redwood city out of palo alto. our live camera is starting to catch some brake lights, the camera is at university at the top of the screen, passing by marsh headed up toward wood side road and as we look at the
5:12 am
traffic build-up there, you see it on the maps, the reason is only down to only one lane there because of a crash, three tow trucks are waiting. they need special tow trucks because there's evidence needed in the crash. 84 reopened right on time. >> thanks, mike. 5:12 this morning. and no, when you look at this, your eyes will not be deceiving you. no one behind the wheel of a car. it's not so much uncommon here in the bay cair when it comes to teslas but where the bay area the driver cars are soon set to start driving. so sales of things like teeth whitenering and dough owed rant are up. apparently people are getting ready to go back to work in the office and getting this emselves together. i bet you're getting yourself together this morning. you're watching "today in the bay."
5:15 am
right now at 5:14, we look at high temperatures today, very much like yesterday but a little bit cooler in some spots like livermore, a high of 80 degrees. 79 in martinez. we're keeping it cool in san francisco. we've been talking a lot about drought and we'll talk more about that in our climate in crisis, coming up in a few minutes. >> western' getting a look at the map. overall it's calm but we have this alert on the peninsula. chp letting us know only one lane of northbound 101 is open just as you approach woodside
5:16 am
road about a half mile of serious slowing. you can exit off at marsh and willow to get toward city streets. bay takes you from marsh up to woodside but that is a needed alternate perhaps if you're in a little bit of a rush. be patient. we're tracking it. well, good morning, very happy tuesday to you as well. moderna just moments ago released the results of a recent test that shows the company's covid vaccines were very effective in protecting 12 to 17-year-olds and it does plan to apply for fda approval. as you'll recall, pfizer already has emergency approval to vaccinate teens. the federal government says it's going to make it easier for government workers to have a more flexible workplace including work from home. most government workers of course are already doing that but it's really significant because governments tend to be some of the most slow acting and conservative sort of organizations so that washington
5:17 am
is recognizing work from home really works is very significant. we've had a cycle when it comes to working from home or where we work, in the office at first of course but by the late '90s/early 2000s, silicon valley started to experiment with more flexible work spaces. it was marissa meyer over at yahoo! in 2019 who really put an end to that first trend telling yahoo! employees they had to come back to its office. she got a lot of grief about that. she said at the time work from home didn't allow for creative collaboration. florida passed a law to punish facebook or twitter if they removed posts or suspended the accounts of people running for office. the new law almost certainly runs afoul of the first amendment prohibiting governments to tell private citizens of companies what they can or cannot say and there are federal laws that protect websites that would definitely supersede florida law anyway.
5:18 am
the florida governor calls it a "blow against the silicon valley elites. ". i thought this was telling. target and other large retailers are going over their books with analysts and reporters, many showing a big jump in sales of makeup, tooth whitening toothpaste and of all things, deodorant. the "wall street journal" was the first to notice the trend, also swimsuits and sunscreen which makes sense. people are getting themselves sort of back together to head back to the office. deodorant? it's just me and the dog during the weekdays but i try to look pretty for him. >> you said deodorant? i was like, deodorant? maybe people are getting ready for dates. >> you would do that, if you were to spend the whole day alone, wouldn't you habitually just do that? >> wear deodorant? >> discuss it on twitter, yes. >> no, i don't. >> i can't -- >> interesting, okay. >> when i'm just chilling in the house, it's just me.
5:19 am
>> i can't wait to see how fresh everyone will be, i guess, when scott and i return to work. get ready, marcus. >> good smelling armpits and white teeth. right. >> we may still have to keep that distance, right? >> we may. >> thanks, scott. for a whole other reason. >> okay. 5:19 this morning. a live look in fremont. this is one of two cities recently given the green light to start testing a fleet of driverless cars. here is a live look, or here is a look of the self-driving cars. made by pony ai, and the usf headquarters located in fremont. the dmv approved the permits allowing for automated testing in fremont and milpitas. this is the eighth company to receive state permits for driverless testing. as more people make their summer travel plans, united airlines is offering a chance for you to fly free for a year if you get that covid vaccine.
5:20 am
the company is holding a contest called your shot to fly for mileage plus members. united will be giving away tickets throughout june and on full 1st, five winners will win a grand prize, free air travel for a year and themselves and companion. to enter, upload your record to united's app or website. sounds tempting and fun. >> very tempting indeed. 5:20 right now. we've got some breaking traffic news that mike's been keeping track of this morning. what's going on out there? >> yes, good morning, folks. we'll take you out to the peninsula, where we have this still going on the alert from chp was only one lane of northbound 101 open. it's been there for a while but the latest update as we look at our live camera, you can see the brake lights, things are starting to slow down. our camera is at university, the overpass there, that's at marsh, and just past that, you have about a half mile of slowing until just shy of woodside. there you go, the clustering by
5:21 am
the next sign overhead sign there, so the map shows you how slow it is up to the one lane open on 101, 280 completely clear. if you exit at marsh to bay, take that up to woodside as well. surface street of course. the rest of the bay, 84 is open for business, a little slowing typical for the tri-valley. back over to you. >> all right, if you just want to skip the commute and catch b.a.r.t. in pleasant hill, it's going to be a nice, cool morning for you as you get ready to step out the door. we're mostly clear and our temperatures in the upper 50s, just a few clouds for the next couple of hours and sunshine the rest of the day. even though our temperatures heat up fast, it won't be as warm as yesterday. we're looking at a couple of degrees lower in brentwood and antioch reaching into the low 80s. morgan hill today reaching 80 degrees. 75 in san jose. oakland reaching into the upper 60s and some upper 70s in much of the north bay. as we go through this forecast, i'm watching all of the rain staying to the north of us, but
5:22 am
there will be some showers over the sierra, especially on sunday, so watch out for that if you're going there for the memorial day weekend. here we're going to see temperatures warming up as we start to see high pressure building once again and it's not good news because it's been so dry here in the bay area, but at least there is some rain close by, but we are still in an exceptional drought and it's mostly for the north bay and parts of the east bay so as we go through the forecast, we are still looking dry and temperatures have been fairly mild, but we'll start to warm up as we head into the weekend, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s, while san francisco keeps that fog and breezy winds and highs in the 60s. as we talk about our climate in crisis, we have been keeping an eye on the drought conditions and now people are asking what can i do to conserve water? think about this. take shorter showers, every minute you're wasting about two gallons and of course baths are better if you want to stay in
5:23 am
there longer. use drip irrigation for your lawn or water your grass earl already a late in the day to avoid evaporation and use grey water on the garden as well as your plants and check for any leaks around the house that can save up to 3,000 gallons of water per year and compost your food waste instead of running all of that water in the garbage disposal, and that can save water as well. check out the tips as well as more stories on our climate in crisis on nbcbayarea.com, click on the climate in crisis tab. laura and marcus? >> always good reminders for us, thanks, kari. coming up next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." everyone needs a go bag and not just for wildfire. so what goes in a go back? i'm consumer investigator chris chmura, we'll help you pack one step by step, next.

wildfire. goes in a go bag? it varies based on family needs. start a list asking yourself this question. >> if you have one, two, three minutes to get out of your house, what do you need to grab that is essential? >> let's walk through that together. step by step. using items recommended by cal fire, fema and the san francisco fire department. start with a paper street map to evacuate. cell phone gps might not be available during a fire or after an earthquake. you might want to have a predetermined meeting point for family, with printed directions to get there. pack medicine, at least a few days supply. ask your doctor or pharmacist for an early refill. include clothing and shoes. you want cell phone chargers, too, wall charger, car charger and battery backup to charge your phone even if the power is out, cash might be handy. credit card readers and atms might not be available. remember your pets. conrad has a go bag of his own including food, water, his leash, medicine, treats and toys.

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live this morning and they have another fight on their hands here, bob. >> reporter: it's no secret the a's are considering a move to las vegas, this would be a new stadium to replace the coliseum where the a's have been playing since 1968. the team is possibly considering a move to portland, oregon. the "oregonian newspaper"
5:35 am
reports that a's executives will travel to portland in june to conduct a fact-finding visit and explore the possibility of building a new stadium there instead of in las vegas for oakland. the team would like to build a new waterfront stadium at the howard terminal in oakland but the deal slowed to a crawl. major league baseball cleared the team to actively shop at other locations outside of oakland. this week the team is visiting las vegas. "the oregonian newspaper" questions whether the interest in portland is actually a bluff on behalf of the a's to pressure the city of oakland to speed up the howard terminal deal. oakland leaders insist the howard terminal plan is in play with a project review scheduled for july. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> all right, thanks for the latest, bob. we'll keep following that one. also in oakland, a robbery at gunpoint sadly can happen to
5:36 am
just anyone but the bishop of oakland is living proof of that. bishop barber was robbed outside of the paramount theater. >> he saw my bishop's ring and says "give me that ring." i'd rather have my life so i gave him the ring. the ring with which i was consecrated by the archbishop when i was made a bishop. >> the bishop was not harmed but is speaking out to raise awareness about gun violence. new progress in the covid bay area map. napa and solano counties are the lowest. more events like festivals, sporting events, graduations,

"the "san francisco chronicle"" reports lawmakers have signed a letter calling this a poor attempt to get in under that deadline for $12 million in state pandemic funding. assemblyman phil ting says the district clearly cared more
5:38 am
about getting the money than building the children back into the classroom. the district says the move was intentional to stagger returns in response to staffing levels. the final decision on that money is now in the hands of state auditors. new federally funded programs are now helping those struggling most to make it in the bay. one of the efforts was launched in the south bay. a new $60 million program in place for those who have gotten behind on the rent, targets tenants making less than $50,000 for a family of four and outreach for renters and some 20 languages. that money is part of a $500 million pie for bay area cities and counties and comes ahead of the end of california's eviction moratorium slated for june 30th. new ripple effects from our climate in crisis. marin water leaders are are considering banning new water service hookups to homes.
5:39 am
the idea was proposed in last week's response to the drought declaration. some argue it would hurt development. board members will reportedly consider an official proposal next week. meteorologist kari hall was telling us some of the ways we can conserve water especially dealing with the drought which continues across the bay area, just not looking good for us, kari. >> it is not looking good and it's not just the bay area. i wanted to show you this regional map that shows how grim the outlook is for the drought situation where you see the darker red that includes the highest level of drought. we start out this year drier than last year and last year was a record-breaking fire year, so we're expecting this anywhere from the rockies on westward, where we've seen a lot of tree mortality, and that could add some fuel to the wildfires for this upcoming season. so it's not a good outlook here. we'll talk more about what's ahead in the forecast.
5:40 am
mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> we still have that alert on the peninsula, breaking news, a bigger backup, northbound 101, jamming up from our camera at university, up toward well just past willow. you can see the overcrossing here middle of the screen, the marsh overcrossing and just north of there the brake lights starting to stack up toward just shy of woodside road. the map will show you the same thing. down to just one lane, seven cruisers report on scene, three tow trucks are needed and someone brought to the stanford hospital. not a lot of detail. chp hard at work trying to clear 101. 280 is light. the rest of the bay shows a standard flow of traffic. the bay bridge toll plaza may have a bit of a stall there but we don't see a problem from the live camera. i'll show you the drive times which are still great through contra costa county and the early drive out of vasco and 580 through alameda county. laura, back over to you. >> all right, thanks so much, mike. nbc bay area are changing
