makes me nervous. >> can you imagine having good morning to you. good morning to you. it's friday, september 3rd, 2021. i'm gayle king. that's vlad duthiers. that's tony dokoupil. welcome to "cbs this morning." let's go straight to today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> roads, railroads, stadiums, homes, completely under water. >> reporter: we're uncovering the true depth of the loss. >> a staggering toll in the aftermath of ida. we're on the ground with a firsthand look at the cleanup.

>> reporter: look at the holes in the road. just wide open. >> there's no next step. i just lost everything. >> three days cleaning up, and we're still left with this. >> reporter: ida did billions of dollars worth of damage. >> many people say the calvary hasn't come. >> reporter: president biden heading to louisiana. he'll survey the aftermath. >> we're all in this together. >> reporter: the world health organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant. >> more research is needed to determine if it's any more contagious. >> we're paying attention to it, but we don't consider it an immediate threat. one of most recognizable of the capitol rioters known as the qanon shaman is expected to plead guilty. >> all that -- >> and an afghan family who tells us about the dangers back home. ♪ the curtain went up on the first broadway musical to return since the pandemic began. all that matter -- >> leaving the city behind. how the pandemic led some americans to seek greener pastures. >> the pandemic and time away from the city had, in fact, changed me. i think it got clear that i was looking for a different balance.

on "cbs this morning." >> according to a new study, monkeys choke under pressure just like humans do. it is why marcel only lasted one season on "friends." true. the fame, the contract negotiations, the expectation, too much for a monkey. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> but marcel was so good on that show. >> he was. he just needs a better agent. >> i loved that. >> method acting for marcel. >> that's right. we are going to begin with the widening devastation from hurricane ida. the picture still coming in. this is a storm that swept across more than 1,000 miles of this country. so far, at least 58 people have died as a result of ida, including 45 in the northeast, 13 in the south. what happened was record rainfall caused record flooding, catching many people by surprise in their cars and in their homes. in louisiana where the storm made landfall, the power is still out for hundreds of thousands of people. and that means shortages of food, of water, and of fuel. president biden will visit the

area later today. let's go first to our mola lenghi who's in hard-hit wayne, new jersey. good morning to you. i was watching rescues all day yesterday on local news. what are you seeing this morning? >> reporter: good morning. right now flooding is still a concern in this area. some of the larger rivers in the area continue to rise. the passaic river behind me here being one of those rivers. now at least one person was killed when he was swept up into the flooding waters yesterday not too far from here. and the search is being ramped up for two missing college students whose car may have gotten pulled into the river. across the northeast, first responders rescued those in danger from rising tides and powerful floods. in new jersey this police officer saved a man stuck in his submerged car. boats went house to how to in delaware and pennsylvania to save the stranded. meanwhile, these new york residents were carried to safety on a bulldozer. matt bush jr. escaped the water on the shoulders of a first responder. >> it's really deep, and i'm cold. >> reporter: ida tore through the region leaving flooded

neighborhoods, a submerged stadium, and rushing water strong enough to send this shipping container floating. and piled cars on top of each other. >> we wasn't prepared for anything like this. this is the worst i ever seen it even with sandy. >> reporter: when hakim hampton's basement started flooding he tried to drive to a friend's to borrow a pump. >> i climbed out the window. i knew if i opened the doors, all that water would get in the vehicle. i was nervous. i didn't know what to expect. thank god i'm safe, made it back safely, and now this is the aftermath of what we're going through. >> reporter: in places where watery had seeded community are picking up the pieces. >> look at that tomorrow! >> reporter: crews are cleaning up towns torn apart by tornadoes and fixing road that swallowed

up cars. governor murphy toured the damage in new jersey. >> this is going to take some time to dig out of. no question about it. >> reporter: as the storm moved through the region, homes flooded. the new york city subway system shut down after the onslaught of rain. >> storms affect all of us. what we've got to recognize is the suddenness, the brutality of storms now. it is different. >> reporter: people across the region were caught offguard by the rare weather, described as a once in 500 years event. now all the more common because of climate change. >> time for an entirely different approach because we're getting a signal here. we have to make a change to protect the lives of the people of this city. >> reporter: as the death toll continues to rise, those who made it to safety are especially grateful. >> i know we lost everything, materialistic, everything that you can just repair, you know. but family, you can't bring back. >> reporter: well, there's still a lot of streets, parking lots, driveways like this one. used to be a driveway, that are still under water. it could take some time for a

lot of the standing water to recede, and only then, gayle, can these communities begin to assess the damage. >> i know. those picture are just jaw-dropping. thank you so much. in louisiana, an investigation is under way into the deaths of at least four nursing home residents. they were taken to a warehouse that was turned into a shelter to ride out ida. that was meant to keep them safe. mireya villarreal is following the story in new orleans. this does not go the way officials had hoped. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. that's exactly right. state health officials are actually saying this location was unsafe, and it was unhealthy. there were reports of people sleeping on mattresses on the floor. they weren't being fed or changed regularly, and there was no social distancing. in fact, when inspectors showed up at the location, they were turneded away from the site. now family members and even the governor are demanding answers. the last of 843 nursing home residents were relocated from this warehouse thursday after

state health officials deemed conditions inside unsafe. families rushed to the site looking for answers, blind sided by the news. >> of course they should be held accountable. everyone that was here that didn't help the people that needed help. when they could have made any kind of phone call -- >> reporter: governor john bel edwards vowed legal action against anyone found responsible. >> we're going to do a full investigation into whether the owner of the facility failed to keep residents safe and whether he obstructed efforts to check in on them. >> reporter: with hurricane recovery entering the fifth day and hundreds of thousands still without power and other critical supplies, edwards urged calm. >> i know that people are anxious and tired. i'm asking people to be patient. >> reporter: but patience is wearing thin.

this is killian, louisiana. a picture town nestled on the river. we drove by row after row of trees. though it's 60 miles from new orleans, the folks who live here say they feel like they're in an island. the police chief says almost no help has come from the state. >> they dropped off one palette of water and 50 tarps. that lasted all of probably two hours. >> reporter: people here are desperate to start rebuilding. like alderman kenny bayhi. we were with him on his first visit home since ida hit. we could only get to his neighborhood on a four wheeler with most of the streets still full of water. >> another two -- >> reporter: what he found left him speechless. what are you seeing? while bayhi plans to rely on the kindness of his neighbors for now, the chief says that's not enough. >> if we don't get mres, water, diapers, commodities,

anything to help these citizens, that is going to be a very tough time. help. we just need help. >> reporter: back in new orleans there are several parts of the city that have started to receive power like here in the french quarter. about nursing home patients, we did reach out to the owner of the facilities, bob dean. he did not immediately respond but did make a comment to our local baton rouge affiliate saying, "we only had five deaths within six days. and normally with 850 people you'll have a couple a day. so we did really good with taking care of those people." vlad? >> all right. thank you very much. a stabbing spree at a supermarket in new zealand is now being called a terrorist attack. at least six people were wounded by a man officials call an islamic extremist originally from sri lanka. police shot and killed the man within 60 seconds. three of the injured are in critical condition. officials say the man had been known to local authorities for about five years and was under

constant surveillance due to his support for isis. a former district attorney accused of mishandling the ahmaud arbery murder investigation is now charged with criminal misconduct. arbery, you remember, is a 25-year-old black man who was killed in february of 2020 while he was jogging outside in georgia. three white men chased him and confronted him with a gun during that confrontation. one of them shot him. they were charged with murder after the cell phone video of the shooting surfaced that was about three months later. they all pleaded not guilty. the former da, jackie johnson, is accused of violating her oath of office and obstructing law enforcement during the investigation. she recused herself citing a conflict of interest after she told police not to arrest travis mcmichael, the accused gunman. the indictment also alleges that johnson showed favor and affection toward another suspect, that's gregory

mcmichael, who's a father of travis. johnson has not responded to our request for comment. >> the indictment mentions that miss johnson is accused of not treating the arbery family with dignity. that's the word used. such a powerful word in this context. >> yeah. these issues were raised at the time, and nothing happened. it only became the story that it became after that video came out. it's heartbreaking. ahmaud arbery was running through the neighborhood. they thought he was trying to break into a house that was under construction. that turned out not to be the case. they took it upon themselves to confront him. >> i do like that the wheels of justice are turning. she's been charged with criminal misconduct. that's a good thing. >> also, by the way, voted out of office, as well. okay. now we turn to the nations's covid crisis and the growing number of children getting sick. last week more than 200,000 new pediatric cases were reported across the country, more than fivefold increase over the past month. this comes amid the ongoing fight over school mask mandates including in florida, a state hit especially hard by the spike in covid cases.

manuel bojorquez is there. manny, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. currently on average, 61 children a day are being admitted to florida hospitals with covid-19, according to the cdc. for perspective, before this surge, that number was just six per day. yesterday a judge affirmed his ruling that the state and governor do not have the authority to ban mask mandates in schools. governor desantis is appealing. >> for us this is not about politics. this is truly about a pandemic. >> reporter: florida's governor banned mask mandates in school, but the state's second-largest school district, broward county, is pushing back, requiring masks in class unless a child has a medical exemption. so the state is following through on its threat to withhold funds equal to school board members' salaries. ignoring a ruling that struck down the governor's ban. >> ultimately when it comes down to the students' well-being, i trust the parents more than i

trust the government. >> reporter: but doctors say trust the science. especially in light of the numbers. children have made up about 15% of documented covid cases in the u.s., but as of the end of august, the percentage has risen to above 22%. >> they're getting infected from people who are unvaccinated. and so it's not your right as an american to catch and transmit a potentially fatal infection any more than it's your right to run through a stop sign at an intersection. >> reporter: dr. paul offit says the approval process takes time. a vaccine for kids under 12 may not be available until at least the end of the year. >> you know, you want to make sure that you have done the studies in the right way. that most importantly show that this vaccine is safe, safe, safe, because you're about to put it into millions of children. >> reporter: catherine perrilloux's 2-month-old son, junior, is much too young for the vaccine or the battle he's fighting. he's been in intensive care in

new orleans for three weeks due to covid. >> he already had, you know, respiratory issues. so when the -- when he caught the virus, it just doubled up and made things entirely worse. >> reporter: she has this message -- >> i want everybody to realize that, you know, we have a virus out that we -- out here that is impacting now, it's impacting our children. and they are our future. and whatever we can do as a community to make sure that we protect our future, then we need to offer that to our parents out there. >> reporter: even when a vaccine for children 12 and under is finally approved, the next challenge will be vaccine hesitancy. of those 12 to 17 who are currently eligible, less than half are vaccinated. tony? >> manny, we're rooting for that family. thank you very much. the severity of this covid surge can clearly be seen in america's hospitals where the

average number of covid patients is now the highest it has been since last winter. the danger is now complicating people's decisions about whether to travel this labor day weekend. earlier this week, the cdc advised those who are not vaccinated to not travel. our erroll barnett spoke to travelers, though, who are weighing the odds. >> reporter: the barbeques and beach trips that wrap up the summer might be busted this year. >> if you are unvaccinated we would recommend not traveling. >> reporter: that was the moment this week when cdc director dr. rochelle walensky urged the unvaccinated to stay home and the rest of us to reconsider. >> people need to take their own -- these risks into their own consideration as they think about traveling. >> we were going to do a desert sunrise yoga zoom. >> reporter: guided self-care coach jenka garfinkle who is vaccinated just canceled her joshua tree, california, plans after her own recalculation. her friend asked -- >> are you going to feel comfortable if you go? and when i really thought about

that, my ansr was no. >> reporter: plenty of americans agree. this holiday weekend, none of the major airlines expect to united forecasts say 23% drop. meanwhile, air fare spending is down 33% this month compared to the same time in 2019. >> you have a perfect storm here. >> reporter: peter greenberg says there are multiple reasons for the declines. >> about one-third of it's seasonal and expected. one-third is delta and one is the european union proposing restrictions on american travelers. >> reporter: earlier the u.s. was removed from the ue's safe list which means quarantine and testing requirements are more likely for americans. >> if you're still scared, stay home. >> reporter: back here in the u.s., ariana vermillion and millions of others are sticking with their holiday travel plans. >> we've been waiting for this trip for a long time because we had to cancel last year. >> reporter: while garfinkle

says scrapping the itinerary should show no shame. >> this is what you should do to protect yourself and to protect others. >> reporter: erroll barnett, washington. >> did you catch the name of the woman in that piece -- jenka garfinkle. one of the best names i heard on tv. >> very cool. >> i caught the fact she's walking away from what seems like a wonderful trip to joshua tree. a decision a lot of people are making. >> be careful if you are traveling this weekend. ahead, one community helping hundreds of

ahead, a speed bump for virgin galactic. see why the space plan may not be carrying tourists any time soon. you're watching "cbs this morning."

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it was just days ago that we witnessed the desperate scenes at kabul airport as thousands of afghans tried to flee the taliban and get on planes and get out of the country. now these are the faces of some of the refugees who did get out, and they're starting new lives in the united states. many of them are headed to sacramento, california, home to one of the largest afghan communities in this country. jamie yuccas spoke with one man who recently arrived in the region. he asked us to conceal his identity and his families because of threats to his loved ones back home. >> all of my family, they were crying. >> reporter: this man, his wife, and their two young children fled kabul on one of the last commercial flights out just hours before the city fell to

the taliban. his work with afghan national security forces, nsf, and the u.s. made him a target as the taliban offe security forces, nsf, and the u.s. made him a target as the taliban offensive intensified this summer. >> me and the people like me who had been supporting the nsf, they have not had normal life because of danger. >> reporter: because of his risk the family received a special immigrant visa. what's your biggest concern with the taliban now in power? >> from one side when you think about your country and homemade, of course it's sadness. and the biggest for me is my family. >> reporter: he says a taliban patrol has already knocked on his mother's door. >> sometimes i say i wish i could not make this trip. whatever happens, i should be at their side. >> reporter: you had to do what was best for your family. >> of course. >> reporter: like others who recently arrived in northern california, the family is now

working with the refugee resettlement agency, world relief sacramento. >> we'll set some goals over the next couple of months in our program. >> reporter: the organization helps families learn english and find jobs and housing. it also provides them with basic furniture and groceries bought by volunteers at the local afghan market. >> we're in a historic moment. >> reporter: we met up with the nonprofit's director cary hamm at their warehouse packed with donated supplies. >> right now over the last three weeks, over 400 families have come in to sacramento which normally is an amount that would come in over several months. so everything is amplified right now. >> reporter: but it's not just the basic supplies. the organization is also focused on creating a sense of belonging. afghan grocery stores like this one are a sign of this thriving community. >> right now one out of nine afghans living in the u.s. live in sacramento. and as more come to sacramento, it builds a community.

once a community is here, others want to come. >> reporter: that community can be crucial for families who have left their loved ones behind. what has the adjustment been like? >> actually it is difficult. we were living together, and when you have very fast lunch or dinner together with 17 members, now you're in here, of course. a big difference. and it is a sad moment for me and for my family, as well. >> reporter: what do you hope for the future? >> i'm hopeful for our future. i'm not thinking about myself much. i think about my kids' futures. there are many, many opportunities for them, also for me, to work, to feed them, to support them, to guide them. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," jamie yuccas, sacramento. >> such an american story when you have these first-generation americans and they don't care about themselves. they'll take whatever job, they're thinking about their kids. also you think about how you make it to this country, but if you've got family left behind, particularly with the taliban in control, your whole self is not

theodore mccarrick, the defrocked archbishop of washington is pleading not guilty to child sexual abuse charges. he was stripped as rank as cardinal and removed from t priesthood after the vatican confirmed other allegations of abuse. these criminal charges in massachusetts go back nearly 50 years. let's go to chris livesay who is in rome with the story of what is so far the only u.s. cardinal ever charged with sex crimes. chris, good morning. a lot of people following this case. >> reporter: good morning, tony. today marks a profound day of reckoning not just for the disgraced former cardinal but also for the catholic church. survivors hope that his criminal trial means that no one no matter how powerful is above the law.

a shocking image, no clerical garb. he was one of the most powerful cardinals in america, advising popes and hob-nobbing with presidents. he even claimed to champion victims as he did in 2002 upon returning from a sex abuse summit at the vatican. >> now anyone who has this problem, who is credibly accused of this, will never work in the united states. >> reporter: today that includes mccarrick himself, now 91 years old and defrocked by pope francis in 2019 after an internal investigation concluded he'd abused minors and assembly anywheres for decades. just as damning, a vatican report last year revealed john paul ii, the pope who made mccarrick a cardinal and archbishop of washington, d.c., knew about the allegations but ignored them. cbs news vatican consultant monsignor anthony figaredo worked as mccarrick's secretary for 20 years and spoke to him shortly before today's

arraignment. >> the first thing he said is, i do not want to end my life in this way. so he expects something serious to come from this trial, perhaps imprisonment. and even more stunning, i want my priesthood back, it's almost as if he was deluded about the damage he has caused to victims above all, but also to the church and the loss of faith of millions of catholics. >> reporter: this week, pope francis said he's, quote, not afraid of transparency or truth. sometimes it hurts a lot, but the truth is what sets us free. now with this long-overdue trial, survivors hope mccarrick's plunge from grace will inspire others to break their silence. >> so it means that no bishop is safe. i hope that it has many shaking in their boots. those who have covered up and those, too, who have abused.

>> reporter: the former cardinal faces up to 15 years in prison. while this is his first criminal case, he faces several other civil suits. one of those other accusers says that to see the former cardinal in court today makes today the happiest day of his life. gayle? >> all right, chris livesay reporting from rome. thank you. coming up next, vlad as in duthiers, there's only one, there he is, has the stories you'll be talking about -- i like it, hello.

good morning. happy fry-yay to you. we welcome you back to "cbs this morning." ida's fury stuns the northeast, leaving dozens dead and massive damage in its wake. the rescues and long road to recovery. and many are seeing an influx of new residents during the pandemic. we'll take you on a road trip to see how long-time city dwellers are living. and abba just makes me happy but first the eye opener at 8:00.

widening devastation from hurricane ida. it stretches across more than a thousand miles of this country. right now flooding is still a concern. some of the larger rivers continue to rise. an investigation is underway into the deaths of at looegs four nursing home residents. there are reports of people sleeping on mattresses on the floor. >> reporter: currently on average 61 children a day are being admitted to covid hospitals in florida. before that, the number was 6 a day. and super hot, earth-like planet, and they're now confident about finding life outside of our solar system within just a few years. the hubble space telescope has

captured an image of one of these super hot plan gts. take a look. >> okay. >> okay. tell me when you find the actual life on one of the planets. instead of hearing about how they're about to or going to. let's begin the hour with this. we have a massive clean-up effort after ida caused deadly flash flooding in the northeast. they're still without power. some neighborhoods are still flooded. at least 45 people have died from maryland to new york. and all day yesterday, first responders worked to save people trapped in their homes as the water quickly filled the streets. elliott palmer was one of the dozens rescued in bridge port, pennsylvania. >> the water, as i opened the door, the water started gushing in. so, i went around the back door. it was so high, i had to run up the fire escape.

they had to get a boat to rescue me. >> they used anything, anything they had to get people out. hotel guests had to be evacuated in an armored truck while these new yorkers were carried to safety by a bulldoze fruc. and tornados like the ones that ripped up homes in northeast new jersey. that is also true in louisiana, where then hurricane ida made landfall. hundreds of thousands are still without power and other critical supplies. this is five days after the storm came ashore. president biden will visit the gulf coast to survey the damage from ida. and it comes at a delicate time for the president. he faces multiple crisis, ranging from the storm's devastation to the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. and joining us now. good morning to you.

you're sitting in on "face the nation." and there's a lot going on. let's talk about the climate crisis, as the president calls it. how will the storms and wildfires effect his push for action on climate and also infrastructure, which could be used to doctor's these flooding issues? >> good morning to everybody. we have a packed show because everything that happened this week, especially what we just saw is something that the president wants to really focus on. he says what we're seeing play out on the east and west w the hurricanes and the wildfires is just another call to action for lawmakers, as he is trying to push them to pass those twin infrastructure proposals that really weave in infrastructure for the country, as well as climate proposals that could help combat future disasters like this. so, he says they need to act right now. bad timing for the president

because just yesterday, virginia senator, joe mansion said there should be a pause on the democratic reconciliation bill, which has the major components of the president's climate goals there. the president does face challenges but says look at what's happening to move forward the legislation. >> we saw a novel law effectively banning abortion in that state for many women. severely restreicting it at the very least. and there's likely to be copy cat bills. that's moved the issue the white house. what is president biden saying about it? >> the white house is saying that is exactly why there is so much urgency to do something, to deal with the immediate impact of that law. and so, the president, yesterday, announced he has called on several agencies to work with white house lawyers, in addition to his gender policy counsel too, try to answer what

they can do, not only when it comes to providing care for women who are looking for it, but also an illegal toll. we're going to talk to congresswoman, escobar, who represents many of the women in texas, abohat she wants the federal government to do and how realistic it is to do anything, given the fact that congress really has the power here to take long-term action. we want to know what she's hearing from her constituents and health care providers, who are trying to deal with this fallout because it just happened. >> the president last night made a surprise trip to walter reed. i'm wondering how that went because of how he's been hammered with afghanistan? >> reporter: the president has often portrayed himself as the consolar and chief and someone who conect with these families. i think he's stressed, not only

directly to them, but publicly how much he can understand what they're going through, having lost an adult son of his own. but he has a lot more to deal with on the afghanistan front because, of course, there are still americans who remain in afghanistan, who are trying to leave, as well as those afghan allies. so, he has a long road ahead of answering questions. and i think the big question americans have right now, especially with the 20th anniversary of 9/11 coming up is whether we are safer now than before. so, we'll be talking to sue warden, who has more than 30 years experience to try to answer that. and i think, to your question about the troops, one person who has more experience here at cbs news than anybody is our david martin and he'll be opening his reporters notebook to reflect about how the war and how the

exit has impacted the country. >> looking forward to that. >> yes, very busy news week and will be a very busy news weekend. thank you very much. she'll be sitting in on "face the nation." and she'll talk to congresswoman, veronica escobar on the controversial new abortion law. and governor murphy, as well as dr. anthony fauci. >> is she still there? isn't this her first -- >> it is. >> weija's gone. she's very busy. i watch every sunday. looking forward to that. we just wanted to say we're cheering you on sunday because isn't this your first faces? >> reporter: it is my first face and we're thrilled to welcome margaret back from maternity leave next week but this sta treat to be able to do this and talk to our panel because it is a packed panel.

and of course, for me, labor day weekend meant one thing when i was growing up, back to school. i know, as a parent myself, i have so many questions, as all parents do, about what that means for our kids. so, dr. fauci will be able to really talk about the data that's coming out today. with regard to children and cases and hospitalizations and talk about potential new variants that might be spreading. so, a packed show and thank you very much. >> listen, i'm a big weijia fan. we all are. and in the words of tiffany haddish, she ready. we'll be watching you sunday, cheering you on. coming up, we look at the wave of city dweller whose have been moving to small towns and rural communities during the pandemic. >> for me, that means i can spend more time on things that drive me creatively. i honestly have more to offer.

m melba langley takes us to where life has shifted. >> reporter: more than 200,000 new yorkers moved out of the city just last year, many planting new roots in upstate new york. that's where we're headed, to check out the new work normal. our first stop is barn fox. it's a co-working state that's seen their population jump since the pandemic began. it's a space to work outside the city. >> it's a space to work, a space to connect. we envision this future to work from an urban landscape to a more rural landscape. >> pandemic hits. how does that accelerate what you guys are doing? >> at first it slowed down because nobody knew what was going on. >> the uncertainty. >> but after a few months, we

needed a new place to work. >> we were getting an influx of relationships coming in, so we knew it was time. >> hiding from the city has, in fact, changed me. i got clear that i was looking for a different balance. >> i left the city. i had always thought about being somewhere with more green space and closer to nature. >> was the pandemic kind of the catalyst for you moving out here? >> i thought about moovving outf the city for years, but planning a move and figuring out where i would move to just never happened until the pandemic. >> reporter: kingston, new york is about 100 miles north of new york city. home prices here jumped 18% in the last two years. compare that to the national average of 4%. it's the largest home price jump in the country. >> i'm the head of the upstate

real estate team. 90% of the clients that we work with are either coming from the city moving up here, or they're second homeowners who primarily live in the city and are selling. >> it means home prices, property prices have increased as well? >> yes, they have. from july 2020 to july 2021. ulster county where we're driving right now, the increase was a little over 20%. >> that's significant. >> yeah. it's huge. >> i mean, that is a delicate balance of trying to maintain the characteristic and the personality of this place because it's such a unique personality. >> 100%. and the people who are most interested in preserving the open space and the environment and all these things are the least likely to want there to be additional housing built, and that's what's exacerbates the affordable housing issue. >> oh, my gosh, this was so fun.

>> thank you for being with me. i don't have a driver's license, i just made all that up. >> reporter: for more than 100 years, this was the general store in woodstock, and now it's the hirana market which is helping the growth here in the catskills. for some it's more than just a store. >> when we come here, we belong here. we feel like it's home, second home. >> we have asian groceries in the front of the market, and in the back i'm essentially putting out filipino food inspired by my grandmother. >> there was a void in this community that you're filling. >> absolutely. >> but also showing up to a store where you see yourself reflected. >> more of the physical grocery items, i think that's a void people are responding to. >> also bringing to life the people who have been here, the asians that live just down the road and nobody knew about it. >> people have cried in our store. actually, multiple people have started just literally crying.

that's not about the food that they're eating or the groceries -- >> it's that good. >> -- it's all of it. it's the smell, it's the experience. >> during the pandemic, there are very few things that are unilaterally good and hirana market opening is one of them. during the rise of anti-asian hate there came a really vulnerable moment where you needed that feeling of community. >> part of us is creating an inclusive space for all of our neighbors, those whov have been here for a long time, those that are new, and maybe they can spark conversations as well among themselves. >> new neighbors finding ways to give back. one thing we learned on this trip, the pandemic has pushed some people's mindsets, pushing people outside closer to nature to find more balance. that's one word we keep hearing: balance. perhaps that's easy to find in a place like this.
