sam dodd, the mayor's appointee to tackle homelessness, says the mayor's remarks were blown out of proportion. >> there's no instructions given to cops to move people for the super bowl. the real thing that we're concerned with right now is el nino and people's health. >> reporter: the city has about 1,200 shelter beds year round. for the rainy winter months, they're looking to double that number. i'm standing in front of one of the city's temporary rain shelters. it's inside that building behind me, and will be open if the weather is bad enough. many of the homeless people i talk to complain that shelters are dirty, dangerous, and only a short-term solution. >> they just let you stay in their shelter for a week or two and then they throw you back on the street. so it's like why put yourself through that, get comfortable in a bed somewhere, to go right back out on to the street? that's just torture of another torture. >> welcome. >> thank you, thank you. >> get warm, rest up. >> marin just lived into the city's navigation center, a new long-term shelter that opened last year. >> that's teddy.
