incredibly special san francisco is. this is cbs news bay area with elizabeth cook. in a race that's shifted c' positioning himself as the progressive. board of supervisors president aaron peskin has served the city for two decades and now he's eyeing the city's top job. he's joining us today to pitch his plan to tackle san francisco's biggest challenges. that's coming up in a few minutes. but first a look at your news headlines. today in san francisco governor newsom signed several bills to address housing and homelessness. he's aiming to ratchet up the pressure on local governments to meet their targets for the production of new homes. >> the original set in this state is affordable. it's that imbalance of supply and demand. >> the package stiffens penalties for local governments that fall behind on housing

goals. the governor also says the state is getting ready to spend about $2 billion towards the creation of new permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals. the city of oakland is starting to install about 500 surveillance cameras around town and already police say they're helping to solve crimes. more than 120 automatic license plate readers have been installed so far. police say they've helped to identify and arrest suspects in at least two shooting incidents and a robbery. they say the rest of the cameras will be installed in the coming months. opponents say the cameras represent a violation of privacy. in east san jose some small businesses are getting free security cameras to combat recent break-ins. it's part of a new pilot program launched by the city for the alum rock village shopping center. each kit comes with four security cameras and they'll be registered with the police department. local leaders say the alum rock village has been

a frequent target of property crimes in recent years. nba hall of famer gary payton is the new men's basketball coach at the college of alameda. the oakland native is a nine-time nba all-star defensive player of the year and two-time gold medalist. before this payton coached in the big three league winning a title and named coach of the year. dream force is winding down in san francisco. the annual three-day salesforce conference brought in about 45,000 people to moscone center and today ayesha curry talked about building businesses that empower and celebrate women and olympian simone biles discussed the importance of mental health and discipline. switching gears to weather now, it's starting to feel a little bit like fall, at least today. i was so excited to put on a coat. >> yeah. >> but ironically, as we inch closer to the start of fall, it starts to feel more like summer. >> we'll be near 100 degrees on sunday. >> weather whiplash.

>> that's what fall is really. the shoulder seasons like fall and spring will do this. you very seldom ease your way in. it's like fits and starts and that's what's happening. the storm that had produced a pretty big complex of thunderstorms in the sierra is starting to take a little break, but it's not completely done. first thing we look at, we'll do a combination. we'll contrast the closer view, what's behind me, all the thunderstorms up there in the sierra. so there's clearly still a system here. it's producing a pretty wide complex of thunderstorms, not as big as it was yesterday, but it's still here at least in the state. we've got no risk of that getting to us. if we want to see what's driving that, we have to look at the big picture. i've taken a unique slight of satellite. this is

the best way to visualize what's causing this. look at the clouds off the coast of california. go in for a close-up look. we'll repeat what we did on this yesterday. see the counterclockwise spin? bull's eye, came right over us. we've had about three of these so far this fall. that's an area of low pressure, spun out of the gulf of alaska, came right for us. we'll remove the clouds a second and get oriented and put the loop back over it. once again an area of low pressure with perfect aim. if that's what it looks like now on first alert doppler, let's come down to a smaller scale and say good-bye to the northern hemisphere and bring up a map that will allow us to get a closer view for what's happening in terms of where the rain is still falling. for that we're going to bring up the map that shows us the united states, but what we're concerned about is here at

home. we'll take that live and transition it into another futurecast. let's keep a wide view. in fact, in we can show a whole lot of space down there, excellent, to the south of california because what happens when we look at it that way, you'll see the spin that we've been watching. look how much more of it's off the coast and where it's all going. it's leaving. we're pretty much done with this one. it really didn't want anything to do with the bay from a rainfall standpoint, but it did from a temperature standpoint. it really cooled us down. that is about to come to an end. this thing is leaving over the next few days. we saw that from all the rainfall that was working its way down off the pacific ocean towards baja. we'll go back to the big picture view. that northern hemisphere will come back up because the next part of the story is how do the temperatures change? over the next few days we'll watch four days of temperatures on here. it's going to go by quickly. the pattern i want you to

watch, watch the yellows and oranges from the desert southwest each day taking us into sunday. they're able to push back on that pool of blue that's coming down from the north and drive it away and the warmth continues to build in, if we can keep that view there, so we see more where the warm air is coming up from. that will bring us into the mid-90s by sunday. we'll go straight to the seven-day forecast. the numbers for the inland microclimate make this the most dramatic. it's low 80s out there today and tomorrow, not a whole lot of change yet. by the weekend you definitely notice the warm-up, but sunday, monday, tuesday, especially monday you'll be one degree shy of 100. we're likely going to hear issuances for heat advisories. that's really how dramatic the shift is on this. doesn't last long. they seldom will once you get into this time of year in terms of spikes in temperatures like that, but there is a notable spike coming, especially inland for the early part of next week. liz, back to you.

♪ we are just 47 days from the election and all week long we're asking the top candidates for san francisco mayor why they deserve your vote. today we're hearing from the board of supervisors president aaron peskin. he's no stranger to san francisco politics. he's a well known public figure in the city's north beach neighborhood. our lauren toms sat down with him as he hopped into the bay for a workout and opened up about his own personal struggles. >> all you got to do is come in here, swim around this aquatic park and it just puts your head in the right space to be everything you can be all day long. never gets old. >> reporter: at least three times a week supervisor and mayoral candidate aaron peskin can be found here at the south end rowing club taking a dip in the bay before heading off to city hall. >> only the bold swim in the cold. >> reporter: it's a practice

that for aaron has become more than an exercise or routine, but a part of his being. >> it's a profound connection with the environment that i mean we have parks and we've got golden gate park, but well also have this incredible bay which is for most people a postcard, but you can actually interact with that postcard postcard. >> reporter: his three decades of swimming transcends his time in city hall. >> i've been there, hung a left, swim down to that flag, swim back. depending on the tides, that's about a 20 minute swim and then i'm just in the right zone all day long. >> reporter: each time he steps in the water he finds a source of strength and healing in his own journey recovering from a struggle with alcohol. >> it's just a moment where you can separate yourself. i

think some people do meditation and some of us swim in the bay. it's been really important in my own personal journey of recovery. >> reporter: swimming across the bay to alcatraz and back and beneath the golden gate bridge, it's a journey he's taking alongside a city in recovery. >> swimming in the bay makes you feel so connected to something that's larger than you. as a matter of fact, back in my drinking days i wasn't swimming as much and now that i stopped drinking i swim really regularly. >> reporter: healing with each stroke in the water and bringing lessons he hopes can lift up the city back onshore. >> it just helps you realize how incredibly special san francisco is. just ready to get to work. >> reporter: with the hope to make a splash outside the water and across the city by the bay. >> so what's peskin's plan for the future of san francisco? coming up, from the drug crisis, crim

all week long we are giving the top five candidates for san francisco mayor a chance to make their case to voters. our guest today is supervisors president aaron peskin, current president of the san francisco board of supervisors and a district 3 representative. he spent nearly two decades as an elected official serving on the board twice, first from 2001 to 2009 and once again beginning in 2015 and aaron peskin joins us now. thanks so much for taking the time with us today. >> thanks so much for having me. >> if you could pick one thing to change or improve in your city, what would that be? >> from day one i want to focus on the vexing issue that has plagued so many mayors every homelessness. i'm really the only candidate in this race that has the experience and

developed a comprehensive plan for a homeless strategy that i developed with experts in the field that is entirely implementable that really starts with systemic management reform of our nine city departments and 248 service providers using an office of the inspector general to root out corruption and create the efficiencies that have long been lacking and also i want to lead a groundbreaking regional approach to homelessness by partnering with the big city mayors in oakland and san jose in the nine bay area counties to refurbish unused and underutilized state facilities, some of which have been closed since the days of governor ronald reagan. we have an incredible opportunity now because the voters of this state just passed proposition 1 and we should come together as a region to address this by using those facilities with state-of-the-art medical care for drug treatment and for mental behavioral health treatment as well. >> i want to give you a chance

to talk to voters out there who are fed up with san francisco politics as usual. they see your resume and all of your wonderful accomplishments but still believe that city hall doesn't have their back when it comes to public safety, homelessness, and, frankly, the quality of life here in san francisco. what makes you different? >> liz, i have been elected five times by the good people of the northeast corner of san francisco, ground zero for tourism, chinatown, north beach, fishermen's wharf and elected three times by my colleagues on the board of supervisors to be president because i have a history of bringing people together. i've worked closely with central station in the northeast corner of san francisco and the police and captains know my work. that's why i'm proud so many of them are endorsing my campaign for mayor. they also know i have put a premium on dealing with our police staffing shortage and have developed a plan to recruit people from our schools into

the police department with forgivable college loans and unlike my opponents in this race, i actually have a plan. i think people know how much i love and care about san francisco and how much i apply myself in my work. i'm the senior statesman of the board of supervisors and i want to harness that 17 years of experience and the care that i've exhibited and my know-how of san francisco's 53 departments to make san francisco work better again. >> i want to go back to what you say is priority one on the day one that you're mayor. you're going to tackle the problem of homelessness. there's been homeless sweeps happening across the city. you are vocally opposed to these steams sweeps saying you want to build 2,000 shelter beds and connect mental health and other services. haven't we already tried that, sir, and it hasn't worked yet? >> i have not received more

complaints than i have since these sweeps have begun including this very day because sweeps just move people from one neighborhood to another. they do not solve the problem. what we need and i have long said as mayor i will stand up the 2,000 beds of shelter san francisco needs. you go to new york and they talk about how there are less homeless there, sure. new york has shelter for 95% of its unhoused population. san francisco only has shelter for 47% of its unhoused population. as mayor, particularly given the number of vacancies we have here, i would stand up those 2,000 beds of shelter which the mayor herself finally recognized in the san francisco chronicle this morning. i have a record of working to keep people housed, preventing more homelessness. that is a big part of this solution as well, which is why i have a provision on this november ballot proposition g to keep the poorest of the poor housed. it saves the city money before they end up in drug treatment

slots or at psych emergency services or in san francisco general. that is a much more effective way. we have to remember that 60% of our homeless population used to be housed in san francisco. so building more affordable housing, making sure that tenants have right to counsel, are always preventing more homelessness. that's in my plan and what i have done as supervisor and what i would do as chief executive officer as mayor. >> so many young families are choosing to leave san francisco because of the cost of living, child care, and the public school system. now we're talking about school closures due to low enrollment, but there have been issues with sfusd for years with low test scores, teacher shortages among other issues. i understand the school district is separated from city hall, but do you think that should change? what do you plan to do as mayor to improve the school system? >> liz, i have been a collaborator. i feel that san francisco really needs to treat

the san francisco unified school district as a sister agency and bring all of the things that we do right as a government. we don't have problems with our payroll system. the san francisco unified school district does. we should offer them the incredible services that we have from our department of technology. we as the city should relieve the san francisco unified school district of some of the social burdens that they are carrying that should really be carried by the city of san francisco. there are 1,800 schoolchildren in the san francisco unified school district who are homeless. the city of san francisco should be undertaking a focused concentrated effort to find housing for those 1,800 kids and their families. that is something i would do as mayor, but most importantly and i've seen this done before -- i saw it done when i was first a supervisor and willie brown was mayor -- i would bring together philanthropic interests, ngo interests, the school district, educators, and the city to come together to rescue the san

francisco unified school district, something this administration has not spent any time on whatsoever. >> san francisco's no secret is dealing with an image problem. there's the perception across the country this city is unsafe especially with high profile violent crimes like the shooting of ricky pearsall. what are you going to do to improve san francisco's image? >> we do need to change the narrative in san francisco. one of the things that has eroded trust by our voters locally and made us the laughingstock nationally is the fate of public corruption scandals san francisco has seen again and again in the last half a dozen years under mayor breed, the allegations against mr. ferrell made in the chronicle, which is

why i sponsored an office of inspector general to root out corruption with the power of search warrant and subpoena and i think that will help change the narrative of san francisco. if we can clean up our mess rather than having the fbi do it, the perception of san francisco is going to change. >> supervisor aaron peskin, thank you so much for being with us today. >> thank you for the opportunity, liz. >> our conversation with aaron peskin is just part of our week long series with san francisco's mayoral candidates. tomorrow at 4:30 we're wrapping things up with the city supervisor. we'll be right back.

the 49ers already know they'll be without christian mccaffery and deebo samuel on sunday against the rams and now as matt lively reports, two more all pros have been added to the injury list. >> this is the audi "red and gold report." >> the 49ers injury list continues to get longer. tight end george kittle and corner back jar various ward did not practice thursday, kittle dealing with hamstring tightness, ward knee and hamstring issues. one player that's still healthy is linebacker fred warner who has been a tear in the first three games, forcing three turnovers, two by punching the ball out of opponent's arms, a move practice has made perfect for warner. >> something you have to practice every single day so it becomes muscle memory because

things are moving too fast on gameday. you got to make sure you can slow the game down enough to where you can even think about punching the ball out instead of just trying to get a guy on the ground. >> i think that's one thing that's continued to get better with him and this year it's every tackle he makes. so beware. >> for the "red and gold report," i'm matt lively. coming up tonight at 5:00, bay area youth baseball players heartbroken to find all their equipment torched just before opening day, how their community is rallying around them. our wild swings in weather continue with another big warm-up heading into the weekend, why that's got california farmers scrambling to save their crops. we'll speak to a retired marine corps colonel about what happens next in the

the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would

then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders. right now on cbs news bay area, turning up the heat to address california's housing crisis, the new laws that will make sweeping changes aimed at spurring construction and making sure every city is doing their share. >> this legislature in the last four, five, six years has done more arguably than the last four or five legislatures have done in the last 30, 40, or 50

years to address this crisis. in the south bay a hi-tech effort to combat rising crime in a busy shopping area. meet the people suing the company who puts on the tough mudder runs, what they believe got them sick after running in the race in sonoma last year. we are picking as fast as it can. >> it's a race against the weather, farmers trying to harvest crops before the grapes turn to raisins. from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. we begin with a major push to spur the construction of new housing right here in california today. >> good evening. i'm ryan yamamoto. >> and i'm elizabeth cook. governor newsom in the bay area today to sign a package of new laws to address the sky high cost of housing and the reluctance of many cities to build more. kenny choi explains how. >> reporter: one gunshot changed paul walker's life forever when he says he was hit

as a bystander in a gang shooting. >> i was shot through the chest and went straight into my spine and broke my back and left me para zed. >> repor r: since that day finding a job and permanent home has been difficult. he's stayed with friends going from couch to couch. >> it's always been a challenge trying to find anything in the bay area. >> reporter: walker has been applying for low income housing in san francisco for 15 years and estimates he's filed hundreds of applications to date. at a press conference in the michigan the governor signed seven new bills aimed to streamline more affordable housing projects, including a.b.3093 which requires local municipalities to plan housing for acutely low and extremely low income households, making up to 15% and up to 30% of the area's median income. newsom pressed cities to do more. >> we will be requiring homelessness as a component part of our legal goal setting. this is the first time the
