4:32 am
sonoma valleys this morning. we are down to 29 right now in morgan hill, but it's 39 in santa rosa and some of these areas that are still dealing with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s, well, it's a little bit more breezy there, so that makes it feel much colder. santa rosa right now, 29 degrees, but the wind is kicking up to 10-mile-per-hour. we're going to see those temperatures hovering for the next few hours. mike, you were starting with a peek at the golden gate bridge. >> yeah, the last few minutes there were flashing lights, a traffic break for a few. i thought the camera was frozen. then we see flashing lights, a parade coming down from the north bay. it looks like the crew around spencer should be clearing across the bridge and no cones on the northbound side. they have to stop from time to time to move some of the equipment that's set up. kari talked about the temperatures out there, definitely cold. i feel for all of our friends working on the roadways.

candles at a service at the regency skate park. skateboarding was one of tyre nichols' passions. >> it was more than skateboarding. he was somebody that was going to comfort you and make sure you was okay. >> reporter: 29-year-old tyre nichols died earlier this month, three days after being brutally beaten by memphis police during a traffic stop. the department confirming seven officers have been relieved of duty, five of them fired and charged in his death. now we're learning three members of the fire department have also been fired for their response that night. nichols' heartbroken mother praying her loss will bring real change. >> i feel like my son was sacrificed for the greater good. >> reporter: advocates calling on congress to pass the george floyd justice and policing act that includes -- >> banning chokeholds, dealing with no warrant searches and dealing with accreditation of police departments. >> now is the time for action. this is about people being safe.

4:36 am
getting new housing. the owners were condemned for the living conditions and a series of code violations were uncovered. yesterday california terra garden announced it will build homes for employees and their families. the supervisor says fixing it is going to require a state and federal investment. >> that investment is really going to have to be geared towards affordable housing. so we realize that there's a problem, there was good news today, the property owner of one of the sites, it was announced they're going to do housing on that location. but this problem is such a big problem, it's a huge, huge problem. >> the new housing project at california at terra garden is expected to take about a year. we will monitor today's meeting and bring you the latest updates on air and online. also, if you want to help those affected, we've set up a special page on our website if you want to help the victims' families
4:37 am
and community of half moon bay. just head to nbcbayarea.com for more. san francisco leaders are moving forward with plans to help people make it in the bay. today superviseders are expected to give a final approval on a state housing plan that is going to require the city to build 82,000 homes over the next eight years. about half of those will be for moderate and low income residents. but one city supervisor wants to make it a step further. joining me to talk about that proposal is san francisco supervisor dean preston. i want to thank you so much for joining us. the question i want to start with is the proposal asking nonprofits or allowing them to sue the city if they don't meet the housing requirement. talk to me about that and why you think that's so important. >> sure. well, we have some bold goals in this housing element. as you mentioned, 82,000 homes overall, 46,000 of them affordable. and we don't have a very good
4:38 am
track record in san francisco about delivering on affordable housing. so in the last housing element in the eight-year cycle, we hit 150% of our goal on market rate housing, but only half of our goal on affordable housing. >> dealing with this, i think anyone who has done any construction in the past or even anyone who has watched the news knows that building a house is not an easy task, whether it's a labor issue, supply problems, just some of the things that could delay a process of building homes, especially affordable homes. how would your proposal ensure that the city is not penalized for things outside of their control? >> we certainly can't be penalized for things out of our control and the biggest one is state funding. the state has been aggressive about setting these mandates about requiring cities to pass these housing elements, to commit to all this new housing. but the state hasn't been there to help fund it. and at the end of the day, any real solution here in reaching
4:39 am
our goal is going to require the state to step up and be a partner on affordable housing. but i want to make sure that worry doing everything we can locally. and that's really not the case right now. we need to move beyond some of the political games that have been played in san francisco, get serious about using every dollar we have. >> we did reach out to mayor london breed's office for comment about the proposal but we have not heard back. you can watch the entire interview on our website and on the nbc bay area app and also stream it for your roku channel for free. 4:39 right now. an ipad upgrade. ahead on "today in the bay," the new addition to the popular device that's reportedly in the works. >> plus, saying good-bye. the farewell to a historic piece the farewell to a historic piece of aviation and the

sunday. in today's climate in crisis, you may think of the missions that nasa takes on, rovers on mars or astronauts on the international space station. recently nasa scientists have taken on the monumental task of tracking how climate change is impacting us on earth. they're using satellites, computer models, as well as ground observation. those scientists at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory in southern california have found that about 10% of the water that percolates through the soil rock in the sierra flows to the central valley each year. this is equivalent to about 4 million acre feet of water moving into farmland that produces 40% of the nation's fruits and vegetables and nuts annually. scientists are finding that due to climate change, groundwater volume now fluctuates more widely between very dry and very wet years, and nasa's new research on groundwater levels will help in the future to
