four we haven't acclimated to 100% yet, but because we have been living with temperatures that are 15 degrees below average for the last several weeks, this first warm-up is the one that will have a bigger

impact, so we just have to acclimate. look at san jose, it'll be 92 on saturday but it is warmer in the east bay valley and saturday is the peak. okay, back over to you. almost the triple digits in the east bay on saturday. oakland city council just past its budget, the mayor's proposal sought to close a $360 million deficit, we breakdown the details for you. $260 million devoted for a new rapid homeless housing fund, $106 million over the next 5 years to upgrade parks, storm drains and libraries, that includes $87 million to repave streets. meanwhile in san francisco, merchants and community members in the sunset district gathered in support for mayor london breed's public safety budget proposal, $14.6 billion budget focuses on homelessness, hiring more police officers and getting officers paid more. also in the mayor's budget plan, expanding alternatives to policing, why community ambassadors and shutting down open air drug markets. >> we were able to do raises for nonprofit workers and some

of our in-home support services workers and really try to focus on people and individuals and a couple of other things in the negotiation of contracts. >> the board of supervisors is talking about the budget this week and it must be passed by next month. san francisco has been cracking down on public drug use and the city is going to be getting ever more stricter day by day. at first, police were focused on busting the dealers but users are ending up in custody, at least for a little while. between may 30 and june 18, 53 people were busted, arrested for public drug use, 11 got misdemeanor citations, 42 got a ticket to jail but were only there temporarily. the mayor's office said not one of the people accepted offers of treatment after they were released. critics say law enforcement is the wrong approach for dealing with addiction and claim it could have deadly

consequences. wilson walker went to the tenderloin to see what is happening on the city street level. >> went to the dope dealer and got some dope for the morning time , jones and ellis, i just loaded up my foil and took one hit and i loaded it up again, and then i saw a shadow behind me and i knew it was a police officer. >> reporter: just like that, he became one of those picked up by san francisco police for using drugs on city streets. >> he says, face the wall. put your hands behind your back. and he put the handcuffs on me and said you are under arrest and then brought me to 850 bryant. i was there for 12 hours. >> reporter: they have drawn criticism, so what are the risks, we asked. >> whether or not an arrest

puts a person at greater risk depends entirely on what you do after the arrest. if the policy is for people who are addicted to opioids, we are going to hold them in a cell for 40 hours and release them, that will probably increase overdoses. people will go through withdrawal and find ways that are more dangerous, and they will use the drug again and be at higher risk of overdose. >> that was my biggest fear because i really thought that i was going to stay inside for a day or two, you know. >> reporter: his toddlers was a concern, fentanyl users need the drug every couple hours but while there is a risk, an arrest is not necessarily dangerous. >> an alternative way to do it would be to have the sentence in jail longer and couple it

with immediate enroll in good medications, that people would have so they wouldn't lose tolerance and try to use treatments, and when they are monitored regularly, they can have drug tests with positive and negative consequences . that can be helpful. so it all depends on what you do on the backend. >> reporter: starting next month, those arrested a second time will be sent to a drug court that can refer people to treatment. right now, those arrested are being offered services voluntarily. >> one of the sf officers asked me a question, have you thought about getting into like rehab , some kind of help? and i said, that is a thought. >> reporter: he said he's not ready for that, or how he would respond to some type of court ordered treatment, but as for his very brief time in police custody --

>> do you think this is going to have any impact on people out here? >> no. because all they will want to do is get out and use. because that is the only thing on their mind, you know, like i need to feel well. you know? >> the district attorney's office discussed sending people to drug court after five arrest, now that policy is set to begin on monday, july 3. hanging over this effort of course is the phrase war on drugs, the time of the 80s and 90s when we used law enforcement almost entirely to resolve the drug problem, that left us with many unintended and undesirable results, that time looms over all of this. if so, how do we reconcile our nation's experience with the war on drugs with the challenge we face now? here again is keith humphries. >> reporter: after that backwash , we have the idea

that only health is involved in the police can do absolutely nothing. the effects of that are also pretty disappointing. we are back to something that sounds like maybe your grandmother might have said to you, we all have to work together, the police and health professionals have to work as a team. independently, they can be not helpful but if they can partner, they can be very helpful. for example, making sure everybody gets high-quality treatment, using law enforcement as an incentive to seek health services. shutting down open air markets that cause harm to the community while coupling it with treatment services for anybody who has been buying drugs on that market. for that to happen, it takes leadership from the top, for sure, and it also takes a lot of trust. and at the moment, i think we are having certain challenges in the trust department. they have that sense of working hand-in-hand and that is

probably going to mean a lot more struggling to get our hands around this enormous problem. >> anybody who is following the debate in the city over how to resolve these problems, heard what he just said and just knows what he's talking about, we see a lot of this on social media, we hear it from a lot of different players in the city. people involved in the effort to solve these problems. a lot of mistrust, and a lot of anger, frankly . over different approaches on how to solve this. a lot of people seem to be talking past each other and at each other and as you heard, it's going to take some people coming together and finding ways to cooperate to solve this problem, and without that, it's harder to solve this. but i think everybody in the city knows that we are in a tough spot right now and there's a lot of arguing going on and i can stand in the way

of answers sometimes. >> if you look at all these people and all their plans, they do diverge, there is disagreement but if you look at these as tools and realize if we start to use all these tools, because we are not talking about one problem, we are talking about individuals with different manifestations of the same problem that need individual care. >> i think trust, it's just going to take so much of that to turn this around. this is a problem that did not develop since the pandemic, this goes back for generations and it's going to be hard to fix without a lot of cooperation. >> it is a deadly inexpensive problem, we appreciate you always, wilson walker. still ahead, busine

it has been one after another, after another, businesses announcing they are getting out of downtown san francisco, nordstrom pulled out at the end of august, westfield surrendering the mall to its lenders, old navy about to close its doors for the market, at&t is closing near union square. matt dorsey said he's disappointed to see the closures in his district with one retailer citing discussions with retailers and employees, this underscores the urgency to why we must fully commit to a

staff asap. mayor london breed said people's perceptions from the outside aren't the whole story. listen. >> san francisco has been getting a bad rap lately, but for those of you who live here and those of you who walk the streets of san francisco, you can tell another story. you talk about the story of san francisco based on your own experience. >> a lot of people are focusing on the city, the crime and its leadership. the republican congressman tweeting, nordstrom closing its san francisco stores with westfield mall blaming lack of enforcement for rapid activity . this is going to run the city into the ground. right off the top, i know that the narrative can be from those who come from conservative camps that san francisco is in this psalm called doom spiral. walls are closing all over the country, theater chains are also closing, how much of it is politics and how much of it is

reality in your estimation? >> it is 100% reality, san francisco is losing population faster than any other major city in the united states. and there is a new business leaving town almost every day, it seems like. that is not a matter of narrative or politics, that is a matter of reality. when you have a city, that has become very difficult for folks to live and feel safe. look what the citizens of san francisco have done in recent elections, they have recalled the district attorney, they have recalled three members of the school board at overwhelming margins, that is not a matter of narrative, those were votes that were counted at the ballot box. my district is not far from san francisco and my constituents used to love it, but nowadays which people are moving from san francisco into my district because we offer a

higher quality of life, we support our law enforcement and we protect our citizens. i hope that what is happening right now will be a wake-up call to san francisco. this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it is tragic to see what is happening because of failed policies. >> governor gavin newsom said eat your heart out, two major cities, as an example of innovations and people making the pivot. what are your ideas? >> that is certainly true, san francisco is home to most innovative companies and amazing people in the world, which makes it all the more striking that the failed politics of our state and of that city have managed to turn it into the most popular place in the country to leave. so if we want to get this city turned around and frankly california turned around as a state, it is not brain surgery . we need to

have consequences for criminal activity and enforce our laws and have district attorneys who are not these progressive prosecutors but have respect for the criminal laws and d actually enforce the political code. have a fully staffed police department, as the supervisor said, that is not what san francisco has done. san francisco has been rife with corruption, they had a massive budget deficit right now, the transportation system is a disaster, the cost of living is through the roof, it is impossible to build anyway. it's just a perfect a case study in failed governance and it's not a matter of democrat versus republican, it is a matter of effectiveness. they provided a model on how to be so effective, that you start to ruin a truly extraordinary city. >> with the motor base as it is in san francisco, how do you get any of your ideas to get any traction? >> well, they reject this trajectory in san francisco. the voters overwhelmingly

recalled the district attorney and three school board members who refused to open schools. san francisco kept its schools closed longer than any other place in the country, and they have the largest achievement gaps in the country. i know there's people in the city who are fighting to turn things around but, what i'm trying to do is shine a light on what is happening and to try to draw the link between a deteriorating way of life and policy. >> we do have to recognize that we do have businesses, people who are betting their lives on san francisco, working very hard day in and day out, who are in love with their community and making the pivot. thank you for your perspective, we also want to celebrate the fact that we have a lot of

let's continue our community conversation, from the outside it looks bad, the drug crisis is more visible by the day, businesses are leaving the city. and aside from retail, there's a new report showing downtown san francisco office vacancy rates at a new record high of 31.8%. the numbers from real estate

brokerage show that three straight years of market downturn driven by tech layoffs and remote work. where do we go from here? joining me is the president and ceo of the bay area council. you heard the interview before, first of all, any reaction to what we are seeing a lot of, people outside san francisco having strong opinions about how we should do it here in san francisco, is there any merit to what he had to say? >> well, you know, i think historically, folks have been opportunistic when san francisco is down , and taking advantage of that. and at the same time, input is imported in perspective is important, so i think it's a balance. we need to hear what others are thinking and realize there is a reality to this at the same time, we know our own in existence, our own city, and ultimately i think it's up to

us to come up with the solutions that are going to work for san francisco and all that makes it unique. >> i work with our community initiatives and i talked to people in their neighborhoods, in the mission, in the sunset, the castro district, i feel like i had the chance to get to know people in san francisco who are literally betting their lives on this city. what do we do for people who are still here and still working, and doing the pivot and innovating? >> well, i think history will dictate that san francisco will come out on top, that there are ups and downs to the economy and the city's experience. i have been involved with the city for a couple of generations , working from the inside in city hall, through the business community and the nonprofit community, really seeing the city doing incredibly well and incredibly challenged at times, and we always managed to recover. each time is different, you can take nothing for granted but, i see a lot of really positive

things happening , there's a lot of excitement depending upon where you are, i would say more of that then there is what we tend to see on the national news where they filmed the tenderloin and the squall that exist on the streets, people on fentanyl and you know, it's a horrible picture. but, it is a narrow picture of san francisco. we have problems, and we need to be serious about those problems and get them solved. >> how do we reclaim san francisco? >> well, i think we need to tell the whole story, invite people to come , visitors who come here are certainly having a good experience overall. we know that. and, at the same time, we need to deal directly with the issues of crime and homelessness and open-air drug use and the things that are really challenging san francisco, we need to be very

tough, we need to be very creative, new types of solutions, what we have done up to this point, these are problems that become exacerbated. we need to find new and better ways to handle them that are up to the task . and we are not the only place that has these issues but we shouldn't have problems of this scale. >> we appreciate you so much, we invite you back anytime you want to be here for this community conversation. thank you so much. we are focusing on potential solutions, here is a story we are working on for tomorrow at 11:00. >> many businesses are leaving san francisco, this restaurant owner is playing the long game. >> we want to set our roots down, and at a time when the district needed people to do that, i don't think san francisco can be held down that long. >> why he is optimistic about

the future of downtown and how a unique prop up program could bring mo

as we wrap up our community confrontation, a hopeful message , as of certainly has problems which we must solve but it continues to be a creative and amazing place. we
