oakland also has a 10% city tax on non medical weed.people tell me they're gonna start coming out here to get it because that taxes is kind of ridiculous especially when just in december you were subpoena certain amount now all the way in january boom skyrockets up so i close like i said it's good and it's legal in california but always there some little things that you have to watch out for and unfortunately this is one of thembut a spokesperson for the berkeley patient group says it's not other cities they are trying to undercut...they say the point of this is to lure customers out of the black market.the legal oakland businesses are dealing with the exact same thing we are so we're all trying to work on this together because we are the compliant legal licensed operator operator's that want to get a chance to get a foothold in this new legal market and be successful and none of us can do that unless there is an ability to compete with the underground marketthe city council will hold a second reading on the issue at the end of the month, and if passed the new tax amount will kick in in late march. maureen kelly kron4 news.

with a history of mental problems... legally purchases a military style assault weapon ... and goes on a killing rampage at a florida high school. that's the picture investigators are painting tonight. now students and parents, everyone in the town of parkland florida and beyond...are asking why the warning signs were ignored. and tonight, we are learning much more about nikolas cruz, the 19 year old who police say has admitted to killing 17 people at stoneman douglas high school...his former school. (vicki)it turns out there were warning signs ... a couple of big ones.steve aveson joins us from the newsroom with what we've learned.steve? (steve)nikolas cruz was actually reported to the f=b=i last year for a disturbing youtube post.and he apparently took part in paramilitary drills with a white nationalist militia group .... all of this apparently unknown to the family he lived with. . "he was a pretty meek, mild kid. small kid. nothing that they saw in this kid would give them any reason to

believe that anything like this was possible."police searched the home where cruz moved after his adoptive mother died last november.the family lawyer says they knew he had a gun.it was locked in a gun safe. that was one of their rules.yesterday morning he told them he would not be attending adult education class that day,he said somethign to the effect that it's valentine's day. i don't go to school on valentine's day.instead cruz made his way to the school that had expelled him last for fighting. "we received no warning no hints no tips." but social media posts under his name indicate violent, racist views including slurs and threats of murder. the anti-defemation league reported that cruz was affiliated with the republic of florida, a white supremeicist group.and in mississippi, this bail bondsman says he told the f=b=i about a disturbing comment on his you=tube channel ... someone named nikolas cruz boasting that he would be a professional school shooter.what went through my mind intially is why would comebody post something like that?after his online attempt to contact the bureau bounced back, he called the local office... but even though cruz posted under his real name, the investigation went nowhere, "the fbi conducted database reviews, checks, but was unable to further identify the

person who actually made the comment."natwith no criminal history, cruz was able to instantly clear a background check and buy the assault rifle.are you nikolas jacob cruz? yes mam.the suspected shooter -19 year- nikolas cruz - appearing in court this afternoon. you are charged with some very serious crimeshis court=appointed attorneys say they will defend him ... despite the tragedy he's charged with causing. "this is important to make sure that this young man has someone to assist him in making some very, very difficult decisions that he will have to make in a very short period of time. this is a loss for this community. a tragic loss of 17 chldren."

(grant) tonight we continue to examine the housing crisis in the bay area. san francisco is at the heart of it. you see construction everywhere... but most of us are priced out of being able to afford to live in a

luxury high rise.(vicki) tonight, (vicki) tonight, kron four's philippe djegal goes in-depth... looking 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 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.

(steve) the berkeley city council has voted to lower the tax collected on recreational pot sold there. kron4's maureen kelly says critics of the decision coming just a little more than a month after adult use sales were leagalized is premature. marijuana might be legal for adult 21 and over.....but it's also a lot more expensive.... that's because the taxes on what gets you high......are really high too.right now customers here in berkeley pay a 15 percent state excise tax, over 9 percent in sales tax, and recreational users pay an extra 10 percent adult use tax. added all up that's a little over 34 percent.this week the city council voted to cut the adult use tax in half to 5 percent...lessening the tax burden on this business just starting to take root. one customer i talked to here thinks it's a good thing. i have experience that it is a lot you to downsize what you originally were going to buy

because you have this new added extra tax five to $10 depending on what the product is so i think it's a really good idea and i'll be happy when it does go through a spokesperson for the berkeley patient group says it's not other cities they are trying to undercut...they say the point of this is to lure customers out of the black market.she believes if the city passes the resolution on its second reading later this month as expected, it stands to collect more money...if the taxes are lowered. it may seem counterintuitive it may seem counterintuitive the principles of economics show that if they're low tax rates more customers are going to shop there so you're going to have even more so you got to have even more of a revenue to the business and that bear for the city if you have lower rates and more customers anal if you were to have higher rates and no customersi talked to city council person susan wengraf, one of two members of the city council to abstain. she says changing the tax premature. she says while 10 percent may not be the right amount to tax pot in berkeley about she calls 5 % a number being pulled out of thin air and the city needs more time to consider the issue. maureen kelly kron4 news
