There is such meetings set up, it is a possibility. The goal fully stabilize relations between the 2 countries, the u. S. And china, the 2 Worlds Largest economies not seeing eye to eye as the tie between the 2 countries has been strained in recent years. There has been disputes over taiwan. The origins of the covid19 pandemic and allegations of spying. You may remember earlier this year the u. S. Shot down what was believed to be a chinese spy balloon. Reason why its important at this juncture is because 2 countries have been having. A number of clashes. They have, of great implications. Not just in terms of economics but also security because these 2 countries are Nuclear Armed and they have been at loggerheads with each other. The last time the president and the chinese leaders spoke to each other face to face was back in 2022. At the g 20 summit.

No pressure for the meteorologist here in San Francisco this week. We always have to try and deliver. And i think weve got it today. But lets talk about what happens this weekend when they also have shows that are happening on saturday and sunday. Saturday is going to be very similar to today. So expecting temperatures to be similar, expecting conditions to be similar, but things are going to change just a little bit as we get into sunday. Thats when our weather pattern is going to start to cool down. Get some clouds in there. And by the time we get to sunday, were looking for a high of about 70 degrees. Lets talk about todays highs, though. San francisco about 87 degrees. 96 in santa rosa and livermore. You can see mount view about 91. So its going to be another well above average, warm one. And its all about the High Pressure thats keeping us warm right now. And that is why were seeing these skies that are so blue and so clear. But also so warm now thats going to change as we head towards the weekend because by the time we get to monday, believe it or not, not just a temperature drop, but a little rain expected. So this is what were looking out for monday into Tuesday Morning about a 10th to a quarter of an inch in the north bay possible. Much less elsewhere. But just to show you, this is your saturday looking good with the sunshine, keeping the marine layer bay by sunday. Notice that marine layer is going to try and build in as we get into our sunday night. And then as we get into monday, thats when were going to see a few showers roll through. So thats a good thing because we are little dry with all of this heat. And certainly we could use a little bit of a relief from it. So you can see california still under this. Heat advisory in Southern California and Central California and also here in the bay area that now goes through saturday at 11 00pm.

Plus, were speaking live with san jose mayor matt mahan on the latest moves from the city to address homelessness. Welcome back. More housing for the homeless is coming to the city of san jose. The vta board of directors approved a 5 year deal to lease 7 acres of land at the agencys ceron bus. Start. You can hold up to 200 tiny homes. San jose mayor matt mahan has been fighting to get this plan approved for months. He joins us live now to talk more about this and other issues that are happening in the city right now. Thank you, mayor, for joining us today. Thanks for having me stuff in it. Mayor, youve been pushing to have these homes built at the ceremony art instead of the homes among other properties in the area. Why in this opinion why is this in your opinion, the best move . Well, one, we get the economies of scale. We have a homelessness crisis that is at a very significant scale. San jose alone has over 4,000 neighbors living outside in tents and vehicles, which is a humanitarian crisis. We need to act like its a crisis which means building safe, dignified shelter quickly. And when its available requiring that people come indoors and take advantage of it. So roni has a lot next to it. A parcel about 17 acres. Its an empty field. Its been an empty field for decades. Likely will be for years to come. Im thrilled that the vta board last night unanimously voted despite what was a lot of initial opposition. We were able to secure 7 acres of that site to put 200 tiny homes that were receiving from the state of california. Thanks to the governors leadership. It will be able to move 200 people out of tense and encampments across the city and get them into a safe, dignified place, connecting them to support of services. Like case management, drug treatment, job training, job placement and helping them get on the path to permanent housing. This is going to have a big impact on our homelessness crisis here in san jose. And what is your response to the vta workers and even a City Council Member who did express some safety concerns about having all of those homes on one property. Well, every time we have built one of these quick build communities, the initial reaction from folks who work and live near the site has been one of concern. And i think thats human nature. What weve seen, however, is that these sites not only work for the people who are served at the site, but they actually make the neighborhoods better off. We have consistently seen a reduction in crime and blight when weve built one of these sites and im talking about within halfmile radius of the site, which actually makes sense when you stop and think about it. Were getting people out of unmanaged encampments where they themselves are often victims of crime and were getting them into a managed environment with onsite security with supportive services. And so naturally, you actually less criminal activity. You see less trash, less graffiti, less blight. So really its a winwin. I think thats what we have to convince our fellow californians of his building basic dignified shelter in getting people indoors is a winwin for everybody. Are there any reassurances for people who are concerned about the safety, though, are will there be in the area . Yes, we actually have 24 7 security on site. We run 6 of these quick build communities already. We have operating them now for 3 years for the longest running one. We have not had significant security issues, but we do have on site security. 24 7, addition to case management. The number of Homeless People unhoused people in the city of saint of san jose is quite significant. More than 4,000 youve officially declare homelessness a crisis in san jose. What this mean for residents of san jose . And why do you think that this was necessary at this time . They write my colleagues and i brought forward a declaration earlier this week to say that were in a shelter crisis. We have thousands of People Living on our streets and we need to remove barriers. Its not enough to call it a crisis or emergency. We need to act like it. If an earthquake hit and put 4,000 of our neighbors out on the streets, we have fema trailers out of the county fairgrounds within 72 hours. We have a safe, small individual room, a dignified place for every single one of those neighbors. In no time. And its our failure to treat this like a crisis. That is whats leaving thousands of our neighbors to live and die on the streets. Just last year, we had nearly 250 people die in encampments here in our county. So we have to move faster. We have to be bolder. We have to be more pragmatic. We have to pursue solutions that give people alternatives to encampments faster and more cost effectively basic dignified shelter. And then clear encampments as we offer people, housing require that people come indoors. And speaking of building more housing, offering more you reopen the arena hotel near Santa Clara Universitys the homeless as well. No vacancies at this point. There. Is there a plan to connect the people who are there with services so that they eventually cancer transition out . Im so glad you asked the rio hotel is a perfect case in point for what im talking about were able to use a combination of local dollars from the city state and state funding to buy a rundown. Hotel, rehab and offer it as interim housing with case management. So people are connected to services. Youre right that its completely full action. A waiting list for interim shelter right now. And it has enabled us to go out to a stretch of the Guadalupe River that runs through our downtown offer housing to every person along that stretch and then clear out that encampment clean up the watershed there and we will maintain an encampment free. Its a winwin. Were getting People Housing connected to services and we are reclaiming public space making our downtown safer and cleaner. This is exactly the kind of solution that we have to prioritize in your experience and your understanding of this issue are most of the unhoused population from the san jose area or are they coming from outside the city . Our data may be different from that of San Franciscos or other places. What weve repeatedly seen when we do indepth interviews with the thousands of people in our streets is that the vast majority were last living at an address in our county. So they tend to be from the local area, not 100 , but typically in the in the range of about 80 , which is significant. The other question i often get is are people actually willing to come indoors . And the truth is the vast majority of homeless residents are willing to come indoors if offered their own small private room. Just the dignity of privacy, a room with a door that locks and that doesnt mean need to wait to build brand new apartments that take 5 years and cost a Million Dollars a door. We certainly need more affordable her supportive of that. But i dont think it can be our only approach to solving street homelessness. We need more Immediate Solutions that are more cost effective. Ok, got it. We do want to ask you about another topic here, very top of mind for your jose. Animal care and services. Youre now calling for an independent audit of the centers protocols. Overall performance. What led to this decision . So heard concerns raised by some advocates volunteers. Weve also heard very positive stories. But you may have seen has been some press coverage recently. I think the the challenge overall is that our shelter is well beyond its capacity. We have something on the order of 800 animals in the shelter that was built for a little over 500. So the staff is exhausted. The space is overcrowded. And weve weve had some challenges. And what i what i want to see us do is have independent audit that can benchmark against other shelters. Help us identify the places where we can most improved. We have to get back to being a no kill shelter. That is that is our goal. Were not there right now. We know that shelters across the country have been challenged with an influx of sadly whats been thousands and thousands of unwanted hats off to the pandemic. A lot of people adopted it turns out they were ready to make that commitment. Our shelters, the shelter of last resort. Its where the sickest animals, goats, where the stray animals go. And when people decide to move in and leave their pet here unattended, we end up taking that animal. And so weve been under great stress, but theyre also been enough concerns. Raise that. I want to have an independent analysis to tell us where we can improve and how we can improve. How did it get to this point where you have this severe overcrowding in the shelter and it not having been flagged it sooner. Actually, in the last 2 years ago in both budget cycles. I put forward memos arguing for more funding and we have done that. Our council has been supportive of that. Our city manager has been, but a lag here to be honest with you. There have been years of underinvestment. We have not had the staffing. We have not made the Capital Improvements that we need to make in that facility. And i think that really became clear when we came out of the pandemic and just had influx of hundreds of animals, many of of which were pretty bad shape. Frankly, a lot of stray animals with with diseases. Weve had outbreaks of hand luke and and other and parvo. And so weve weve got to better manage this. But i think were going to need Capital Improvements. In addition to more robust staffing because these animals cant speak for themselves. Weve got thats why we need the audit. We need somebody to come in and really evaluate and give us a comparative analysis with other shelters around the state in the country to see what we can learn from them. How soon as this independent audit going to kick off a because to your point, a lot of animals are still to the public step in. How about your . Yes. Thank you for asking that the audit will start very soon. Assuming the Council Approves that we requested an audit and now we need council approval, but it will be prioritized quickly in the report would come out in the 1st half of next year on. Pushing for it to be as quick as possible. In the meantime, the public can absolutely help. Ive been out to the shelter myself a halfdozen times now and what they tell us is they need volunteers, people to come in and help inperson take the dogs out for a walk comfort. The animals do basic tasks around the center. Thats really helpful. Fostering is a great opportunity to to try it on for size if adopted is for ou. You can take an animal home for a week or to see how it works. Really get a feel for it. And then, of course, our ultimate goal is to find a permanent home for every animal at the shelter. And thats, of course, the biggest impact people can have making that commitment to bring home a new, a new member of the family. All right. San jose mayor matt mahan, thank you for joining us today. Thanks for having missed a all right. Talk about our forecast now taking a live look outside of with thats alcatraz out there and San Francisco bay.

They would not surprise me if we blow the forecast again and go right past the numbers that were expecting today yesterday, parts of the city here San Francisco. Got up to 90 degrees. So the good news is for the blue angels. This is kind of perfection in the blue skies. The fact that our marine layer has been minimized so as far as they are concerned, this is good stuff.
