. >> think would happen with new york city, there was a large finance firm, and i believe there are other multiple ones in new york city that installed the speed up and they had false alarms. that is when it new york city look at proposing this legislation. supervisor mirkarimi: but that was also in response to the fever at the time because of what had happened in washington when there had been the mailing of anthrax, supposedly, and other concerns i think that had been raised are around 9/11 and after 9/11. but they did not turn out to be legitimate incidences', correct? >> the false alarms, right, were not legitimate. it was several years after 9/11, i believe around 2006, 2007. supervisor mirkarimi: has there been any incidences in other major cities, other than washington, d.c.? >> yes, there have been other false alarms in texas, washington, d.c., new york, many large cities have had false alarms, either from hand-held detectors or stationary detectors in buildings. supervisor mirkarimi: have their also been any true incidences' that have occurred? >> no. during 9/11, there were in m

san francisco is often known for being a large city, in this case, we have a unique history with the death penalty. during his reelection campaign of 1999, terrence hallohan said that they would not seek the death penalty for any offense in san francisco. he was reelected by a close margin a few years later, and she took the position that she would not bring any death penalty case. and she was reelected with the same conditions as part of the reelection campaign. harris was elected to be the state of the new general, and gavin newsom elected george gascon to be the district attorney. when asked his position on the death penaltiy, hy, he said he wouldn't rule it out. this raised a lot of concern among opponents of the death penalty who thought this would be a step backward. he has written against the death penalty, and adheres to san francisco values. san francisco has not had a jury return a death verdict since 1989, which was 10 years before he said his office would not seek the death penalty. we thought this particular issue wanted a discussion and we are pleased to have a palace h

for many years san jose was considered the nation's safest large city. the san francisco board of supervisors takes a final vote on a law. the current law requires employers to contribute health care funding to uninsured workers. but the employers could take back any unused money in the fund. they voted to amend the law to forbid them from going back until 18 months after the worker left the job. the board will take a final vote tonight. >>> concord could ban smoking in the downtown area. it would ban smoking within a 17-block radius of the plaza in downtown concord. the law allows smoking in private places. they gave approval on the bans last month. san bruno will be in the spotlight in washington again. they meet for a hearing on pipeline safety. the pipeline safety advocates will all testify on the litany of failures by pg&e that led to the deadly pipeline explosion last year. let's check back in with christina on this tuesday morning. >> good morning, scott mcgrew. we're blowing the fog horn this morning. the fog will be thick. although, right now it

we know this is a large city, and we do not see a lot people from different communities in that unionwe also know the economic rewards that will be attributed to the city, we would like to see the various communities be able to participate sitting at the table when we get to talking about who was going to get what and how it will be divvied up. a lot of times these are opportunities that the communities miss out on. why? because we're not sitting at the table. other people are speaking for us. communities can and should be at the table to speak for themselves and the various communities. this is an opportunity. let's not miss out on this. but everyone and -- let's have everyone participate and make this a win/win situation. >> good afternoon. not only what i like to see some strong prevailing wage language, because i believe that as sustainable livable wage is something we can all get behind, for not only the workers but the community, but i would like to see local hire language that would apply to the post- construction also, long-term instead of the short-term construction. thank yo

most challenged areas of our city kept alive by a half million dollar earmark from congressman jerry lewis and that expires and they don't come back i end up the loser. largely, we did a sale and got a 50% thumbs up from our city to do that. most of that, most all of it has again to the police department. i was hoping to have a little more for prevention and intervention but the council said give it the p.d. so we have supported our programs largely by applications like those earmarks and other applications, cops grant and other anti-gang activities. we have become grant specialists to maintain the resources we have and we have become this remarkable alliance of community nonprofits and other services that kept us alive. the feds have a limited role at this point and earmarks for us has been an important opportunity. not much else out there on this landscape. >> i echo the same things. but we have also been very fortunate. i want to emphasize the thing i said earlier. you build strong communities. you are going to really attack that gang prevention in a before way. we are recipients of a hud grant, community choice program ground to rebuild our alice griffit

we have suburbs around san francisco and other large cities. if we overdo it too much in san francisco, we will drive part of our economic base out of san francisco. they're already going to shopping centers where there is free parking. it is a little more difficult to shop here. we have better shopping, i think, but it is more of a challenge. we have to figure out a way to accommodate them in the system. a lot of the congestion we have is not from cars downtown. it is double-parked vehicles, construction going on, buses stopped -- they are never in the bus zone. they are always in the right- hand lane. that messes up the other, two lines. i am not being negative, but this is the real world. if you want to have bus money, make sure they go to the bus stops and do not hang out in the street. those are some of my main thought. i think you're on the right track. we have spent five years, maybe 10, talking about what we are going to do with rapid transit on van ness and geary, which is not the end solution anyway. we have to figure out how to get t

the business is in the mid-sized to smaller communities who have even fewer resources than the large cities, less expertise. if you take options off the table, it will be, well, what we've done for the last 40 years, and right now we have some real challenges. so any good manager is going to want to have a maximum number of options. allbee: you've got to have a serious conversation with your constituency about what it costs to deliver the service that you're required to deliver and to deliver the service that they want. paolicelli: and i think, ultimately, the responsibility is going to be down to the user of this commodity. it costs money to operate these systems. there's a need to continually invest in these systems. there's going to be new regulations. it's all going to cost money. allbee: for all practical purposes, people are going to have to pay about twice as much for these services as they currently do. because a lot of the pipe that went in, a lot of the plants that went in, went in with very sizable portions of federal grant money, mechanisms that are no longer in place. narrator:

i hope we are looking at a best practices of other cities, large and small, throughout the united states, with particular reference to those in the bay area. it is disappointing when we go around to our parks and open spaces and compare them with other cities, some of which are not necessarily wealthy cities, but they seem to be able to take care of their parks a lot better than we do. this is where this whole question of privatisation comes up. we are always told that we cannot afford to have enough gardeners. i remember when golden gate park was a pristine, when i first came to san francisco 45 years ago. it was manicured. it is not quite that way now. it is still trying, but it does not look as good. there is a little park where remember my oldest child had their first soccer game 25 years ago and i went there the other day and there is no grass left. how do the kids play? i am not saying it is all like that, but if it is possible, if you're not losing any jobs, we do not have enough gardiner's anyway, we can give this to some privatized firms. we can still control it, but they can ge

here in new york and is expected to be a big event here tomorrow, but we have seen them grow from large cities like los angeles to chicago to small stes and now the word is spreading for japan to australia. it seemed that the movement is gaining visibility and steam. >> what are about security issues. 700 people arrested over the weekend and we know of the clash where protesters caught police on tape. they say using excessive force. what is that area going to look like tomorrow with 15,000 protesters and i don't know how many police on the scene. >> it's difficult to say because the police presence has been relatively minimal. a couple of officers are walking around and people are playing drums and dancing and eating. the vibe is very, very calm. yesterday the nypd confirms they arrested about five people. charged with loitering and that sort. they have not been concerned as of yet, but tomorrow with more people involved, there will be more of a focus. >> live for us in lower manhattan. tomorrow i will be anchoring "news nation" live from the protest in new york city. ezra kline will join me f

real estate website zillow ranked it the most halloween friendly large city in the u.s.ased on factors like wealth, walkability and crime rates. >> whoa. >> wow. that's impressive. i had once heard that one well known celebrity in san francisco gave away toothbrushes. >> really. >> that's a trick. >> mean. >> the weather has been playing tricks on us because one day it's hot, next day it's cool and we average five to eight degrees below normal and tonight we will begin to see the cloud move back in from the coast all the way inland with overnight lows pretty much between 51 and 55 degrees. outdoors now, it's our live cbs 5hd weather camera looking towards the city of san francisco from oakland where today in oakland it was 67 degrees. two degrees shy of normal. as we see the sun which officially sets at 6:25, we have the clouds offshore. we have one more night with the cloudiness in the form of low clouds and fog. and then tomorrow, we will see those clouds retreat to sunshine and then it's going to remain sunny all the bay through the end of the month. but that does mea
