is an assistant professor of economics at san francisco state universtiy. she says that even though the market dropped over a thousand points. . don't panic.sotno, not because of a one day drop. kakar says despite the setback, the economy over all is very strong and a recession is unlikely. unemployment is low, employers are hiring and wages are actually going up. she says it's this good news on the economy that has triggered the market drop.sotdbecause of the job growth and wages going up, there could be an upward trend in inflation.the federal reserve tries to stop this overheating by raising interetst rates.and when interest rates increase, this tends to prick the stock market. investors get very paranoid about this.and while there could be more down days ahead for the stock market, kakar doubts that the economy is in trouble. a market correction, like the one on monday, could actually help the country avoid the problems that led to the great recession a decade ago.sotwe need this market correction to avoid a bubble sotthis drop doesn't mean our economic fundamental are weak or anything. our fundamentals are very strong.

reduce the amount of property crimes... which have gone up in the last year. kron 4's spencer blake explains that not everyone in town loves the idea. you're looking at a license plate reader the alameda police department already has mounted on one of four different patrol cars.monday police chief paul rolleri shared how he hopes the city council will approve the installation of 13 more cameras, but this time on fixed points - one pointing at each lane heading into or out of alameda on the four bridges and the two tunnels."instead of them looking for a needle in the haystack, this system says, 'hey, the needle just came over the bridge. the needle was just photographed at this street or at this intersection two minutes ago." license plate readers, or l-p- r's, aren't new.most bay area cities have them in some capacity.rolleri hopes new, mounted readers will catch way more cars connected to crimes, than the car-mounted ones.keep in mind, áthose can only find a car if an officer happens to drive by it."we've heard from other agencies that have installed the cameras - the

fixed-post cameras - they've had significant decreases in their property crimes." piedmont is one example, and this man used to live there. "personally i just don't like the idea of giving up privacy. it's just a constant encroachment on one's life. on the other hand, i have seen the value that has been demonstrated in piedmont.""it sounds like surveillance of an entire population."chief rolleri says that complaint was brought up four years ago when they got the mobile l-p- r's.but he reminds everyone the system won't even notify police unless or until a car áconnected to a crime passes by one of the readers."if we were to be doing turn-by-turn tracking, we would need to have a search warrant signed by a judge.""if i were asked to vote for it i would vote in favor of putting them in."the 13 new cameras and their mounting and installation, would cost about half a million dollars.in alameda, im spencer blake kron 4 news ( robin ) in the south bay - school officials are discussing changing the school start times. last night

( robin ) many people are getting crushed by the housing crisis in the bay area. skyrocketting costs are forcing people to ask themselves ... if can they even afford to live here at all. this morning... kron 4's philippe djegal takes a look at what the price tag is on affordable housing. nats- the dulcet sounds of a classically trained pianist...nats- from the comfort of her own home... nats- in her bedroom...nats- which these days is in an r-v parked in a southbay parking lot.khristina miller- "this has been our home since december 3rd of last year." khristina miller and her boyfriend paul have fallen on hard times... struggling to feed their three-year-old daughter... and put a steady roof under the heads of their unborn twins....

working low paying jobs to make ends meet. before khristina was diagnosed with a mental illness... she spent six years studying music at cal-berkeley .khristina miller- "i was diagnosed with schizophrenia -- paranoid schizophrenia." the couple is desperately searching for affordable housing... but it's been next to impossible to do in the bay area. khristina miller- "there's like a waitlist that's like either two to three years." paul miller- "we've considered leaving the state -- we've considered every option. i've been on craigslist looking at homes in stockton, in merced -- it's rough. there is no housing in america." khristina gets about one- thousand dollars a month from social security... and, paul typically gets paid cash as a handyman... making it challenging to meet the requirements to get approved for affordable housing. a steady income and the ability to consisently pay the rent. leslye corsiglia/casa- "in sillicon valley, where we're located, affordable housing is actually an oxymoron." leslye corsignlia (core-seal-ee-yuh) is the

executive director of sillicon-valley-at-home... a non-rpofit organization working on solutions to the bay area housing crisis. she's also co-chair of casa -- the committee to house the bay area... tasked with finding ways to implement "plan bay area." a regional blueprint for building more housing near transportation. so, what is affordable housing? government-subsidized income- restricted housing based on the number of people living in a unit. income-eligibility is determined by each county's average median income... a standard set by the u-s department of housing and urban development. people who earn zero to 120-percent of an area's average median income could be eligible for affordable housing. affordable means housing that requires tenants pay no more than 30-percent of their annual income on rent. leslye corsiglia/casa- "in santa clara county our median incomes more than 107-thousand dollars for a family of four." that means for that family 2,675-dollars would be considered an affordable monthly rent.leslye corsiglia/casa- "i have friends who are in their fifties who are living with roommates, and i'm sure that

that's not where they would be." but at least her friends have homes... unlike khristina and paul - who were both born and raised in the bay area... and want to stay.khristina miller- "and, so this is where we are at this point."nats- talented, and determined to provide for her family. now, all the miller's need is a roof. and, a home that doesn't move.nats- philippe djegal, kron four news. ( robin ) our look into affordable housing continues tonight at 10... philippe djegal takes us to an apartment complex in the east bay where all of the units are considered affordable ... but "who" gets to be a tenant.. is another question we'll answer. that's tonight on the kron 4 news at 10.

"personally i just don't like

the idea of giving up privacy. it's just a constant encroachment on one's life. on the other hand, i have seen the value that has been demonstrated in piedmont.""it sounds like surveillance of an entire population."chief rolleri says that complaint was brought up four years ago when they got the mobile l-p- r's.but he reminds everyone the system won't even notify police unless or until a car áconnected to a crime passes by one of the readers."if we were to be doing turn-by-turn tracking, we would need to have a search warrant signed by a judge.""if i were asked to vote for it i would vote in favor of putting them in."the 13 new cameras and their mounting and installation, would cost about half a million dollars.in alameda, im spencer blake kron 4 news ( james ) a new raiders stadium preview center opened over the weekend in las vegas. the 75-hundred square foot center is filled with memorabilia like superbowl rings, photos and equipment.
