they say they aren't doing it. it is something being considered by the transportation department authority. if you drive through san francisco during the commute hour you would pay $3 each way. why do it? it would bring in a lot of money $60 to 80 million. if you consider a regular commuterser someone who drives back and forth every day, they would pay about $1500 a year. it's really not surprising that people we talked to this morning do not like the idea. >> i pay the toll poll from the north bay coming in. i'm not gonna pay tolls within the inner city, no way. >> reporter: we're still years off from this possibly become a reality. we're talking a lot of stuff that would have to go through before it happened. the transportation authority is going to study the idea. 2013 is the projected date being thrown around for this pilot program that would last between six and nine months before they decide to make it permanent. authority and voters all have to take a look at this. if you gauge the reaction -- it's pretty ha

if one says 2 plus 2 = 4 and the other says 2 plus 2 = 10 saying let's compromise at 6 or something like that makes no sense to me. i think some things are smart, some liberal ideas are better than some compromises and some conservative ideas are better than some compromises. in a democracy you fight these things out. all these people with hand-wringing about politics, that is what politics is for. have these big loud arguments. >> richard e-mails lotus stipulate you are right of center and left of center advocates and spokespersons, are there any scholarly intellectual proponents of a middle ground that members of both wings and respect, partially agree with and can learn from? >> there are some. david brooks strikes me as one of these guys. he can drive a lot of conservatives crazy but at the same time he is a very smart guy who tries to find middle ground. problem is simply calling something the middle, there is nothing in the bible that says the middle is somehow an intellectually or morally superior position than any thing on the left or on the right. the middle is just another posi

police say they don't expect any problems. they'll be ready to happened any kind of demonstration or trouble that could erupt on the streets of downtown oakland. there were hours of peaceful protests after the verdict last july, but late in the night, some people did get out of hand. there was some looting and vandalizing of local businesses and police arrested about 78 people. the jury convicted the former police officer of invol untear manslaughter for the fatal shooting new year's day 2090. the judge could sentence homie several years in state prison or he could give him only probation. late they are morning, oakland's police chief will join us thrive the studio and tell us more about his department getting ready. >>> the police search continues for a hit-and-run driver who injured three people. it happened on westbound interstate 80 near highway 37 yesterday afternoon. witnesses tell the chp that the driver of a red ford suv was driving wrecklessly and smashed into a truck. three passengers in the truck we injured. a polic

police say 156 of the suspects were underaged 18. and there is more fire power on the street. >> some of the guns that they are using now, i mean, they used to be maybe a revolver. you know, maybe 10 years ago. now these kids are in possession of automatic weapons. rifles. >> reporter: police and teens say part of the problem is guns are too easily available. >> can i buy a gun right now if i really wanted to. you can just go ask around if you know some people in gangs or something. i need to buy a gun. i've got $200. okay. i've got you. i will hit you back later. >> teenagers know exactly where they can go and get a gun. but it would take them days to figure out how to enroll in school. >> reporter: stanley visits young shooting victims in the hospital. the goal of her promise caught in the cross-fire is to help them recover and to help prevent retaliation. this summer her clients were as young as 13-year-old. >> i have never heard of kids i am going to beat up somebody else. i will go back and shoot someone. >> reporter: stanley lo

tonight the city says no more mr. nice guy. don knapp shows us. >> reporter: can't imagine parking tickets that is more aggressive here. >> now it is parked right there. there were no signs and i got a ticket for the meter being out. >> reporter: but the metropolitan transit authority says people who park in the city have been getting a break from fines. they can thank a summer of big events especially giants games. >> when we have those kind of large crowds in the city you may see, in addition to a police officer you may see a parking control officer helping to control traffic at the intersection. >> which means they are not giving out tickets. >> reporter: expected to bring in $267 million this fiscal year. the first quarter budget came in seven and a half million short of projections. a big chunk is from violators that got a ticket. >> i think it is terrible that people would come into my office or visit any of one of these jewelers and face almost city retribution. >> reporter: if you park in the city you can expect more ag

if one side says two plus two is four, and the other says two plus two is ten, saying okay, let's compromise six or something like that, that makes no sense to me. i think that, you know, some thick -- things are smart and some liberal ideas are better than some spromses, and some conservative ideas are better than some compromises, and you know, democracy, you fight these things out. all the people who have so much handerring about the fact that people care so passionately about politics, are crazy, politics is to hash this out and have loud arguments. >> host: richard says your views a left of center and right of center. are there any scholarly intellectual middle ground that members of both wings respect, partially agree with, and can learn from? >> yeah, i mean, there's some. i don't know, david brooks strikes me as one of these guys. he can drive a lot of conservatives crazy, but at the same time, david is a very something like that guy trying to find this middle ground stuff. again, the problem is that simply calling something the middle does not, you know, there's not -- there's nothi
