In our original series project home, susie tells us about a new law that will and are that very question. For several years now, San Francisco has helped the distinction of being the most expensive city in the world. Reporter but just how expensive is your neighbors apartment . And how many apartments owned by corporations are sitting empty right now, keeping speculation high . Those are questions that we will soon be able to answer. We dont know what asking rates look like on leasing website and we dont know what actually runs look like for existing tenants. Reporter the supervisor and her colleagues unanimously passed an ordinance this week to create a housing inventory. Under this new ordinance, landlords will be required to report the following to the city every year. The approximate Square Footage of each unit, whether it is vacant or occupied and the date of any vacancies over the past 12 months. Plus the base rent. Failure to comply means a landlords license to raise the rent will be suspended. Nobody should be scared of information or transparency. I think it is so ridiculous that, to find the information about something as important as rent and vacancies in our own city that we are looking at is a low and craigslist. We have a lot of concerns. Reporter he is with the apartment association. Disclosing which tenants pay white when all tenants live under the same roof kind of sows what we call rent animosity. Reporter they give the board of supervisors and earful about this. It is oppression to decide the whole class of people need to be surveilled. By what right . It is an invasion of privacy. Postpone this until you can work with all of us. Reporter but vacancies are not going up. Rents are going down, and more people are still ended up on the street every day during an ongoing housing crisis. Cynthia fong says every day, scared tenants who cant pay rent are asking her where are the vacancies . What are we doing about them . What is happening with the rent. These are questions that we get asked. And when we go back to them and say well, actually, our city has no idea. Reporter we asked the president of the Houston Association and charlie goss with the faa, the same question about vacancies, and got different answers. The number being turnout is 25 to 30 . Were tracking the vacancy rate of 15 and 20 . Reporter whatever it is, its high, and not a hard number. Two things which are expected to change by july 2022. So the rent board will be responsible to track this, and city estimates show this could cost between one and 3 million a year to operate. To be funded through a fee but will go to landlords. 50 of which they can pass on to their tenants, and the highest amount is estimated to be about 14 per unit per year.

When we going to get rain . That is a problem nobody can fix, paul. It is out of our hands. It is pick of the best we can do is hope to look for some rain and see if it is heading our way but in the next seven days, not going to happen. Lets take a look at the top of the stories that we need to know about. Tonight, Cool Temperatures but not as chilly with some patchy fog developing. It will not be very widespread by early friday morning. A lot of sunshine in store tomorrow, getting rid of the high clouds we saw today, increasing clouds on saturday. Unfortunately nothing more than a chance of passing angles for the northbay, drier weather continues through next week and we are looking at the possibility of some offshore wind on monday it brings in the potential for higher fire danger. We have an update on that, coming up during the newscast at 7 00 but even without any major fires burning in the bay area you probably noticed some haze on the horizon and the air quality is not great. Mostly in the moderate category even unhealthy for sensitive groups with the orange dots on the map. It is not, to answer a frequently asked question, because of the fires burning in southern california. That smoke is blowing directly offshore because of the santa ana wind. The smoke in the atmosphere and test because of the dry conditions, smoke is largely due to woodburning fireplaces and people using the fire pit. That is where it is coming from locally, it is kind of locally generated. The smoke settles down to the ground level in as we head into the next couple of days youll notice hayes on the horizon tomorrow but onshore wind is really going to strengthen on saturday and that will help to bulldoze some of that haze and smoke out of the atmosphere for at least a little while. We will see those offshore winds developing as we head into sunday night and monday which means it it will make its way back in. It will not be too bad, certainly not returned what we had in august and september but it is noticeable from time to time. The last rays of light outside as we look toward downtown and across the bay from berkeley. Temperatures made up into the 60s across the board. Not a whole lot of variation from 61 as the coolest high in fremont to 60 degrees in fairfield. Most locations made up into the mid60s and right now mostly running in the upper 50s but Still Holding onto 60 degrees at sfo and downtown San Francisco. Also 60 degrees in napa temperatures will drop off, not quite as far as they have the past couple of nights. We will end up mostly in the lower half of the 40s inland with a few locations dipping down into the 30s. Those clouds farther up in the atmosphere are not real good at holding much warmth near the ground but they help a little bit. Mostly mid 40s around the bay to start the day on friday, and more above average temperatures in store for us, High Temperatures running about 5 to 10 degrees above average across the board on friday with more of the same as we head into the weekend and most of next week. Lets zoom in, low 60s right along the coast, temperatures mostly in the mid 60s around the south bay with upper 60s as you head farther south, expecting 60 degrees for High Temperature in san jose, also 60 degrees for a High Temperature in concord tomorrow. Mid to upper 60s for the tri valley with some spots getting closer to 70 degrees as we had further inland toward fairfield and brentwood. Temperatures around the bay reaching up into the mid60s way above normal for early december. Cold spots on the map are barely going to be above 60 degrees. We are supposed to be in the 50s pretty much areawide but that will not happen much anytime soon. Maybe some slightly cooler conditions along the coast and around the bay and the forecast as we had the onshore wind kicking and on saturday. But the above normal temperatures really are not going to change very much at all. Just a matter of how much above normal we will be. Way above normal, monday and tuesday, a little mini warmest highs inland of close to 70 degrees with plenty of mid 60s around the bay once again.
