it's a misleading, anti-housing scheme. 33 would repeal more than 100 state housing laws, including affordable housing requirements and eviction protections. 33 would make housing harder to build and harder to find, making california's housing crisis worse. so join affordable housing experts and reject the trojan horse. no. on 33. it has been just over a year since oakland leaders announced a $2.5 million investment to save its failing 911 emergency call center. we decided to look into what's changed and whether it's doing any good. let's bring in investigative reporter candice nguyen to show us what she found. hey, candice, we have been on oakland's case for more than a year. city leaders have touted a slight improvement, but oakland pd's 911 response times remain the worst in california by a large margin. 911 callers are still hanging on the line, and police say things won't dramatically improve until next year. surveillance video from july shows a man breaking into jennifer palca's oakland house. she was in her home office as he rummaged through her bedroom, her kitchen and stole her house
