When i got out of my car this morning, i saw the forklift and i almost i was like dont cry right now. Bucklew directs the effort to house the homeless. Heres the sink right here and we have a heater right here. Reporter each tiny home has about 157 square feet of interior space with a small kitchen area and a full bath. A sofa sleeper will also be included. A 200,000 block grant from Alameda County funded the project along with a lot of local goodwill. Weve had over 200,000 in donated labor and material. This will be transitional housing. When the homeless can stay for up to 18 months. Recipients will have to have a job because they will have to pay rent. Its going to start at 200 for four months and then go to 400, 600, 800. The church wont profit from that rent money. After utilities paid, the money will go into savings and returned when the resident finds permanent housing. The church knows this is not a solution to the crisis, but its a start. I love this work. I want people to be housed. I want people to have dignity where they live and feel proud of whoer this. So, i think this is one step in that direction. So, theyre taking applications for people to live in these tiny houses. Theyve got a handful so far and they expect to get more in a week, later this month. Now, we should let you know that theres still a lot of work to be done. As you can see theyre not furnished yesterday and they still have to pour foundations for all six homes and attach the water and sewer lines. But this is a ray of hope for a lot of people who are homeless in the area. Its a start. And other churches are asking about the possibility of doing a similar thing.

Yeah, well, ive had the distinct opportunity to be a fourth generation born and raised san franciscan and come from a Small Business background at fisherermans wharf. Understanding the challenges of raising a business in San Francisco. Also understanding we live in the best city in the world. Do you feel like most of those businesses especially the Small Businesses are thinking its a lot tougher now than it used to be . I think it is. We see vacancies throughout the city, difficulties in permitting process, difficultys in operating and maintaining payroll or hiring folks to operate our shops. So, it is a difficult challenge. The cost of living in San Francisco is something. But, you know, theres chance in the future to change some things. I think legislatively in talking to city hall and talking to board of supervisors we have a great opportunity to recover and make the city a great thriving city that it is. Do you think we can recover fast enough before everything just goes . I mean, businesses closing faster than theyre opening . Weve got to react quickly. The board of supervisors has awe great opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. The chamber of commerce is trying to get involved encouraging Property Owners as well as residents to get involved. Call your supervisor and ask how you can help out.

Yeah, ive been called they are thunberg, nothing like what she says. Well, thunberg, thunberg. These are hard. And the scandinavian languages, thor is not thoracic, its just makes the t sound. You have more. For a candidate for president , buttigieg. Buttigieg and buttigieg, buttigieg and buttigieg. Or you can just say mayor pete. Thats easier. Buttigiegs husband giving us a lesson earlier this year. It wasnt the same as how mayor pete himself said to pronounce the name. Youre getting two different pronunciations that are acceptable, thats not that helpful. They call themselves one thing but their mom pronounces their name a different way. I usually go with what mom says. Thats pretty good. Chavez. Other mispronounced named on the list include chernobyl and notre dame. But we say notre dame football, so we go with that. If youre in france, notre dame. I think its interesting we chose all the words that i mispronounce. Theres so many to choose from. Target rich environment. This is four on four. But spencer corrects us. Hes the grammar king, right . Well, yes. And spelling. All right. If you thought santa claus only got around in a sleigh pulled by a reindeer, then youre in for a surprise. Santa knows how to scuba dive too. The California Academy of sciencesic canned off its annual scuba santa program. Is that fun or what .

As you know christmas just around the corner. Were looking at great gifts for the techy in your life. Lets start with the quest. This is called Virtual Reality. The way it works is you put it over your eyes and it blocks out everything. If we look into the screen here you can see its completely black. When it turns on, you actually see a whole Virtual World created by the computer. And whats really interesting about this, this is actlly one of the most interesting devices weve touched at c net this year. Part of the season is Virtual Reality came out in 2016 or so with the big boom that happened recently. And most of the devices were real really expensive. You had to have a computer tethered to it. And the lower end that worked with phones wasnt really compelling. But this is an interesting middle ground. This is 399 on facebook. You can get it cheaper during sales. Theres no computer. It just works. You try it on like that, exactly. It might show you something in a moment. And then also its got little hand controllers. I see you now. There you go. That mimics the hands that you have in the Virtual World, so you feel like youre there. Does this have any killer apps or work out programs or something that you can do . It definitely has work out programs. What youre seeing is a little feature that el thtells you in you get out of a safety area one of the big problems is you might run into your ottoman. You have an area that you set up and tell it this is where i can play safely. If you get out of it, it tells you you might be running into something and you can see the real word. One is beat saver. Its a rhythm game. Blocks come at you and you cut them. Theyre lightsaber. Theres even some that are running, climbing, all sorts of stuff. Its an interesting device. But its a little nerdy so you have to be up for trying something new. One of the other popular gaming devices is Nintendo Switch light. Its supposed to be kind of this really interesting opportunity to have higher end games on a mobile device. The first switch that came out a few years ago was a real hit and it has a bunch of games like mario games and stuff like that. That device is 199. So, thats a good one for gaming. One of our favorite cheap devices if youre thinking about Stocking Stuffers is called the echo dot with clock. You may know the amazon echo that has that womans name i wont speak right now. They started selling these smaller ones that are really cheap and easy to pop nay stocking. The one with the clock we really like because its basically the device with the clock, right . Who wouldnt like having a little clock. A lot of us have them in kitchens or living rooms. The clock is helpful. And its a decent speaker when youre looking for something basic. Then theres the Roku Streaming stick. Is that like the fire stick . Exactly. The reason were fans of roku is that it has a very large group of companes that are working with it to create apps. So, for example, disneys on it and all these other ones. Its not that amazon doesnt have it, but roku is kind of more standardized and out there a lot more. Were pretty big fans of it.

My girlfriends were drinking tequila, so i thought it was a no brainer. It was such a great idea. It was delicious. 21 seeds is all natural, real fruit infused tequila. The 21 is a secret. Its not really 21, its 21. Thats 2 sisters, 1 girlfriend. The way me and my girlfriends were drinking and how she was drinking, it just made sense to find something and do something that we both love to do and do it together. Ladies, heres to tequila. Tequila we couldnt be more thrilled with the reception of 21 seeds once we launched it out into the world. We have been extremely fortunate. I think weve really hit a nerve and a lot of folks have taken notice from jessica alba to naomi watts to Jessica Seinfeld to katie curric. All of these women are drinking this tequila and loving it. One day i was sitting there dripging my seed and soda and i was like oh, my god, girlscalltheshots. It totally em compasses what were trying to do. Not that were sitting around doing tequila shots all day. We kind of are. I was infusing for a while. For eight years i would have it and people were loving it and asking for more and more bottles. After a while my kitchen started to look like a laboratory. I thought maybe this is a business. At the time there really wasnt anything that was really speaking to women. And the goal was really to take what you were making in your kitchen so beautifully and not make any compromises. Right. And we have to think about why doesnt this exist . Can we even do it . And i think we did a lot of work on that but really finding our partner distillery in cilia when she tried to sample we brought to her, she was like wow, this is amazing. I want to help you innovate and bring this to market. Our distillery down in mexico is female owned. There are only a few femaleowned distilleries in mexico but girls get things done. The thing i love about it is it means what it means to you as a female and that youre in the driver seat and that you can make the choices that you want to make. No ones going to tell you how to drink your tequila, and no ones going to tell you how to live your life. So, here we are where all this started, right . In my kitchen. Im going to make this cocktail. Its going to take me less than a minute. Here goes nothing. This goes straight in. Boom. Look at that. Apple cider. The whole thing. All of it. Next ingredient, fresh orange juice. Next ingredient, fresh lemon juice. With lemons and limes, squeeze those yourself. You dont want to buy presqueezed lemon juice or lime juice ever if you can avoid it. Three ounces of simple serve. Very little. Now youre left with the garnish. I like to slice up fresh citrus and put that in there, lemons, oranges, and then a couple cinnamon sticks. So, throw those in there like that. How pretty. Youve got the apple cider which is a nice complement to that. There you go. Thats punch. There you go. Now youve got cocktails for 15 people. So good. Your not getti youre not getting this back. And last but not least. You get a taste. Got a kick to it. Yeah. All right. Check out localish. Com on facebook and instagram. Thanks for joining us.
