today in oakland. >> they don't make that. >> now i'm facing possible foreclosure. the eviction moratorium has exploited my goodwill, forced me out of my own home, and created an opportunity for my tenant to legally extort me. >> well, one of those landlords was so desperate he went on a hunger strike. he was so weak afterwards he ended up in a wheelchair. our betty yu talked to him about his experience in the past few years and why he should not be looked at as the enemy. >> reporter: a landlord who ended his hunger strike on tuesday is calling the alameda board of supervisor's eviction to let the eviction moratorium expire, a big victory. >> reporter: it's a moment of celebration. friends gathered around george wu who just ended a 70 hour hunger strike. board mspeaonngli ]
11:02 pm
>> so it's like he figured this was his only way to make his story heard. >> reporter: his story goes back to 2019. george owns a three-unit building in san leandro. a family stopped paying rent shortly before the pandemic and owes him $120,000. he said both parents took advantage of the system after stating they had good paying jobs on their rental application. >> so after all he thinks it is worthwhile because by doing this, the public here heard, and the supervisors heard the story, decision dar: george has relied on a wheelchair and the support of friends and strangers to get him through the strike.
11:03 pm
>> he wanted everybody to know that housing providers are saving money to buy a couple properties and doing this as a living, ande' not cold hard people, and we also have sympathy tod not ju make laws that is purely one sided. >> reporter: jennifer liu is president of the business and housing network or b.a.h.n. and a property owner herself. >> it's not fair. the government has been charging us the parking pass. i'm not aware of any of the -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: george said his case was deferred 18 times because of the moratorium. he's borrowed money from relatives, and picks up labor jobs to get by. >> he is not feeling alone.
11:04 pm
>> so that was the alameda county decision. the berkeley city council voted to extend their own eviction moratorium until august 31, according to a report in berkeley side. well in spite of those dioagehaoreoung is a huge problem in alameda county. in a report last week, it shows the hom homes becaus of the pandemic. one of oakland's largest encampment is home to about 70 unsheltered people. but today, the federal judge said the city can evict them. the judge stopped evictions for about two months until the city could prove they could support the people who are being displaced. now there is a new tiny homesite near the camp and plus a parking site in east oakland for people living out of their rvs.
11:05 pm
well one temporary housing solution we've heard a lot of for the past few years is tiny homes. they said finding affordable housing was difficult for him that he decided to build his own. his efforts could help other people get the tools they need to fight the housing crisis one tiny home at a time. >> and this is a great community here. everyone knows each other. everyone, you know, respects each other here. we are all doing the same work. >> reporter: it's all part of a project known as tiny house village, materialized over the last five years, right here at the facilities of the community organization. it's in response to the housing shortage in the region. this program enters a use to teach them how to build their own tiny houses. >> i'm using this as kind of a transition until i find a new house, so we have a stable
11:06 pm
place to stay. >> reporter: the program goes beyond his homes and about creating a whole community here, where more people can enjoy spaces like the garden at affordable prices. >> who went from living on the streets to living in this tiny house. it's home. we spent some time with him there at his home. all thanks to the efforts of the director who tells me that six houses have been sth plan goi f. >> and what we would like to do is develop this whole property right here, where we can develop 40 to 60 units. >> reporter: they say that building has been housed between $1,500 to $5,000. for now the organization has paid the pilot plan and only focuses on students and some people struggling to pay rent.
11:07 pm
>> i would like to say keep them alive. >> and that is exactly what he has been doing since he became a resident, and the resident of the center, returning the favorite with his art. >> and that's what being in america is where it gives me the privilege to serve. they look out for me. >> that is why they will continue to build this dream that many considered the way of the future in housing. >> thank you very much. >> and now here comes the cold. people out in santana row tonight were feeling it. >> i love theeath actua ehe rain, and we needed the rain. believe it or not, i'm from india originally, but i lived here for 15 years. this is the coldest and the wettest weather that i've seen, but i enjoy it. >> okay, so how cold is it
11:08 pm
going to get? >> about as cold as we were a couple of weeks ago, so it's not going to be exceptional. we won't set any records. we're not done with rain quite yet. there is shower activity out there with a look at doppler and track the last gas of the latest storm system that sent widespread rain across the bay area today. still a few spotty showers out there right now of marin county, mainly about 2,000 feet in elevation. some of those showers will be sneaking down towards the city and trace amounts. and higher elevations in santa cruz mountains and, of course, the santa clara hills as well. all this activity will be departing as we head through the rest of tonight with rain and snow chances that are going to go down hour by hour. we should completely dry out before the sun even comes up on wednesday morning. temperatures are going to be chilly. the winter weather advisory continues where the snow is
11:09 pm
falling. that'll affect us until 4:00 a.m., but you're talking about minimal accumulation about 3,000 feet in elevation. 40 degrees in san francisco, the record is 49. that's as close as we will be to record territory. everybody else will be several degrees away from where those records are for this time of the year, but a cold start to the month of march, and a dry start to the month of march. we'll have a few dry days to enjoy before we see the next chance of rain moving through the weekend. we'll track that in a few minutes. but just be prepared for a chilly start and a cool breezy beginning for the month of march. well speaking of breezy, all the wind we've had has caused more than a couple of problems. we have been talking about them for days. they had to shut it down because of all the sand piling out there. the southbound will be closed until friday at the earliest with some damage in sonoma
11:10 pm
county. where they have crashed on two different houses. punching a whole hole on the home of cliffwood drive in santa rosa. >> not good. and we also saw a tree fall onto the roof there, taking down some power lines as we were told they were back there tonight. >> we're ready for a break, and we'll get a little bit of a break. >> looking forward to it. thanks, paul. coming up, how a winter storm turns deadly. and the people at yosemite national park were not expecting this. it's buried in so much snow it's smashing records. and as they look to bounce back from their worst year since '79. that's an appetizer. the entree, golden state, wait until you see this tale of two different hats. sports is in ten minutes. and over at spring training, things did not go according to plan at this game. and prince harry, tonight's guest on the

11:13 pm
all the snowfall here has been a spectacle, but also extremely dangerous and now deadly. an 80-year-old woman in placer county was killed after her porch roof caved in on top of her. it was buried in heavy snow. neighbors pulled her out, but she died at the hospital. >> we just saw the activity and knew it wasn't good. it was non-stop. the paramedics came in, the gap right after that. >> as far as driving conditions, i-80 still shut down tonight to the state line as things are very dangerous on the road. working to get it back open,
11:14 pm
but it could be a while longer. and the snow is 15 feet deep near some of the cabins in the yosemite. the national park is closed indefinitely. right now it actually broke a snowfall record set in 1969. this is another vantage point of that. that is a bathroom. the snow is so high. it's blocking the door. so yeah >> it's been quite a winter and more snow has fallen in the last 72 hours. now take a look at some of those amounts. the ski resorts, they are just hoping to kind of get the benefit of this once the snow stops and people can get up there to take advantage. almost five feet of snow at the palisades. three feet of snow in heavenly. but just compare that to a normal size person, six feet
11:15 pm
tall. we're talking about snow amounts that are chest high and the snow we have measured with the storm system and just in those spots sheltered from the wind. in those spaces that are sheltered, being blown by the winds. they are gust up to 90 to 100 miles an hour, piling up even higher. seven or eight-foot drifts, just from this storm. so it gives you a sense of not only the weight of that storm and obviously what happened in placer county. but it gives you a sense also of the challenge facing the road crews as they try to get that stuff removed from first the interstates and the highway. just a ton of snow to try to move out of the way. but they are going to see the last of the snow falling as we head through the rest of tonight. the blizzard warning goes until
11:16 pm
4:00 in the morning. just over the next five to six hours. around the bay area, our showers are going to gradually quiet down over the next few hours. still a few showers skirting through the bay area. drying out in the north bay. futurecast shows us brightly diminishing by 2:00 in the morning and completely quieting down before the sun comes up tomorrow morning. no worries about the commute on wednesday. finally some good news. it will be chilly and breezy on wednesday as the heart of the storm system is going to be close enough to squeeze the atmosphere. as that moves away, the winds will relax. some passing clouds on thursday and friday. but the next chance of rain doesn't arrive until the weekend. the winds will be noticeable tonight, but they are really going to pick up after sunrise tomorrow. the winds are not strong enough to prompt the wind advisory. 20 to 30 miles an hour gust through the afternoon and
11:17 pm
evening once the sun goes down. that's when those winds should start to back off, and they won't be as strong by thursday and friday. once that next wave of rain arrives, it will be several straight days for a chance of late rainfall on saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, but a particular day that looks like a washout. every day just adding up more rain. you add up all four days in a row, talking about half an inch of total rainfall. this won't be torrential, but it's enough that you should be flexible with any outdoor plans on friday and sunday. we're not there yet where you could get that hour-by-hour timing as we would get a little bit closer to the weekend. it's the beginning of what looks like a cool and unsettled month overall. the updated outlook for the month of march with the climate prediction center that shows a good chance of wetter than normal conditions, but most of the western u.s. and to go along with that, the next 31 days, also seems likely to bring a continuation of our below average temperatures. so get used to the chilly
11:18 pm
things we have out there right now. down to 37 degrees in santa rosa. mid to low 30s inland with the low 40s around the bay and around the coast. not much of a warmup tomorrow. warmer than today, but low to mid-50s. that's the best we'll do tomorrow. mid to upper 50s on thursday. upper 50s and low 60s on friday. and that's it for the warmup. back to chilly conditions along with our unsettled showery weather pattern for the first weekend of march, and that is going to continue right on into early next week. so again no one particular day looking like a washout as we head through the weekend into next week. but any outdoor plans over the weekend will be very flexible with those plans. but right now it looks like it will be the most widespread rain on saturday night into very early sunday morning, but we'll keep an eye on that as we head closer to the weekend. it's only tuesday. >> but we stillorsard. yes.>> all right, pau

we appreciate i > ll o to k of rocky start for a couple of teams in arizona. that's okay so long as it wasn't the giants or a's, yes we have s coming up in sports. but right now with baseball games around two hours, 20 minutes. even with the sprinkler delay, probably a shorter game. optimism despite everyone thinking the a's aren't going to be good. that's coming up next. plus the warriors were down and out and then they came back to lif have heart failure and still experience unresolved symptoms? heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome... ...shortness of breath... ...irregular heartbeat... ...and lower back pain could mean something more serious called attr-cm

okay, when it comes to sports, it seems to be a point of no return when you can't recover from the deficit. the warriors said not today. >> it's not just the warriors, but everyone in the nba right now. the association has not always been like this. but right now, there is no such thing as a blowout. players scoring 70 and a 15-point lead could be a race around 1:30 of game clock it
11:23 pm
feels like. they hosted portland. oakland native damian lillard, two days away from scoring 71. lillard had 15 in the first. portland up by as many as 23 in the first half, then they stopped seven. but for the jumpers in that attack. clear for takeoff. buries it as they have their first lead of the game. thompson with 23. the star of the show, jordan pool, maybe a little stiff arm there, but home cooking. clearly a joy and he's dancing, outscoring portland 75-40 in the second half on their way to a 123-105 win. and after all these struggles, the warriors climb to number five in the western conference
