legal recreationally for adults but is still illegal for those to consume for those under 21 years of age.the marijuana that you remember when you were younger had about 2% thc now it's up to about 12%. i know we have these high potency products that nobody even knows the long term affects of these high potency products. it affects the brain and the last thing you want your children experimenting with is things that are going to impact their brain and their learning. because that's the time in life when they need to be focusing on school and their intellectual developmentbut legalization has come with steps to make it harder for childrent to get their hands on the drug.take a look at this child proof packaging that all marijuana products purchased at dispensaries come in. i even had a hard time figuring it out. when we covered the incident at the quinceria two years ago, we showed you how similar candy gummy worms bought at a corner store were to cannabis infused gummy worms. but today, i went to a few different dispensaries and there were no gummy bears or gummy worms to be found.they still make gummy products, but the shapes they come now are more similar to a cough lozenge...rather than little kid's candy. a byproduct of the marijuna industry becoming more regulated. maureen kelly kron4 news

( robin ) san francisco is at the heart of the housing crisis in the bay area. you see construction everywhere... but most of us are priced out of being able to afford to live in a luxury high rise. kron four's philippe djegal takes a closer look at the different ways the city and other organizations... are

creating more affordable housing. dilapidated... rundown and shuttered... soon to get a facelift and be molded into affordable housing...karoleen feng/meda- we have 1,000 apartments that are in, what we call, the pipeline. some of them are built out, and some of them -- we have about 500 that are waiting to be kicked off." recently, the mission economic development agency bought this unoccupied building at 18th and mission streets in san francisco. by mid 20-21... it will be renovated and turned into commercial space and at least 40 affordable apartments for low-income families. karoleen feng, the director of community real estate for m-e-d-a, says buying property is part of a growing strategy to turn old and often unused buildings into affordable housing. karoleen feng/meda- "in the mission district, we have not built affordable housing for over a decade, and at the same time, we've seen a huge displacement of families, primarily latinos. 8,000 latinos in the last two decades." in addition... organizations like m-e-d-a

are taking advatange of san francisco's "small sites" program... m-e-d-a uses city subsidies to buy old buildings where tenants are on the brink of evicition... and keep their rents at affordable levels... which for most families is under one- thousand dollars a month. in the last four years, m-e- d-a has purchased 19 buildings through "small sites." by 20-20... m-e-d-a says it hopes to own at least two-thousand apartments in the mission district.karoleen feng/meda- "having affordable housing is the first step to rebuilding this as a latino hub." a lack of affordable housing is a pressing issue all over san francisco... including the sunset neighborhood -- where katy tang grew up. a district she now represents as a member of the board of supervisors.... she says the sunset has an abundance of single-family homes... but not much density.katy tang/supervisor- "people continue to get priced out of the city and i think the sunset is one of the last few districts that hasn't seen any sort of development at all." supervisor tang says the late former mayor ed lee took notice of that...

focusing on how the city is utilizing san francisco unified school district-owned properties... and if they were all fulfilling their potential. the determination was made that the playland at 43rd avenue would be a great spot to keep teachers in san francisco... by turning this land into affordable housing - specifically for educators. katy tang/supervisor- "so, in the next couple of years, we should be able to see teachers being housed." projects like this...nats- and legislation tang sponsored last year called-home-sf.. are all driving towards the goal of adding five thousand new housing units citywide in the next two decades.katy tang/supervisor- "home-sf was designed to serve as an incentive, that if you build, um, you know, a certain number of affordable housing units for low and middle income households, you get a density bonus -- that means you get to build more units per square foot and you also get two extra stories above existing height limits." tang says at least four developers are least four developers are actively seeking permits to

take advantage of the program. and for those granted the two-extra stories... tang says 40-percent of those units must be two bedrooms or larger. katy tang/supervisor- "and, i think that's really important because san francisco, historically in the last, uh, few decades, has built one- bedroom units, studios. families can't live and survive in studios and one-bedroom units." and they certainly can't survive if the unit's are not affordable. in san francisco, philippe djegal, kron four news.
