Advantage of the situation to spike up the prices of these types of parcels. Reporter but one Community Group calling for transparency and a google deal is bothered by the secrecy. We are concerned that these are completely inappropriate. And probably unethical. Reporter the mayor says the ndas only covered early private land sales and had no effect in june of 2017 when the google deal went public. As soon as we began negotiations for the public parcels, we became very public about it. Reporter more than half the people in san jose think the google deal will be good for the city. A large group, 43 , said Tech Companies have too much influence over local government. They are a perfect example of google and tech having a huge influence. What is the city of san jose going to do . Will they be completely managed by google . Make sure they are following the rules and being transparent to their community . Reporter late this afternoon, the City Attorney of san jose issued a statement. Basically saying what the mayor said this had no impact on the public deal.

New at 6 00, we learned contractors are struggling to find enough qualified workers to get the big transbay terminal in San Francisco open in time. Kpix5s Wilson Walker givessic a look around and say ifs you are an electrician, they would love to hear from you. It will be a beautiful facility. No question it costs a lot. There is no question it took a long time. But it will be a real stunner when it opens. Reporter a couple of First Impressions here, the building truly is enormous when you are walking around, it seems to go on forever. And with palms, redwoods, and sycamores, it is lush. For a building supposed to be done in june, it feels like a structure that has a lot of work to be done. The main impediment is getting the electric work done. There is a lot of electricians needed and we are in the middle of one of the hottest economies for years. It is hard to find an electrician these days. Reporter transit planners wrestled with what it would mean for the bottom line. This building is able to operate at a loss. The idea is to have it with private tenants that operate a large footprint in the building. Reporter the operating deficit grows because of a delay, someone has to cover that cost, either the city, through its role in financing the project, or the very transit agencies that want to use it. To be fair, ac transit and muni were all the time going to be paying something. Hanging in the balance, june 1. Reporter Wilson Walker, kpix5. The 6 billion project was meant to be a hub for buses and trains. Critics described it as a glorified bus station. The penalty for rolling through a red could get cheaper. Senator jerry hill wants to slash the fine for the so called california stop from 100 to 35. Extra fees are often tacked onto this penalty which senator hill says isnt fair.

A new development of town homes in Mountain View are going not just over asking but in many cases, 50 over asking. Buyers blowing right past that 1. 1 million list price, paying as much as 1. 8. If i dont buy it this year, it will be much higher next year. They still wanted to buy it. I think that is part of the reason that there are so many people. That makes the price higher than expected. There is good news about the high prices. The city gets a 3 cut for every sale to build affordable housing. Another shocking number in San Francisco, real estate. The annual income now needed to buy a medium priced home, a whopping 303,000. The California Association of realtors says this is a new high. Some folks who created a community of tiny homes along Mariner Square drive in alameda are being told to leave. Kpix5s da lin is there and says the problem is not People Living there. It is their livestock. Reporter well, allen, behind the fence, there are llamas, sheep, and pigs. Along with other animals living in there. The city of alameda sent the notice out to the owner saying the animals or the half a dozen or so people there had to go. From the outside, looks like a storage yard for shipping containers but inside, is an urban farm with plants, animals, and even tiny homes. The problem is, theres a lot of zone for industrial use. City inspectors say animals and people cannot stay here. They believe people converted some of the shipping containers into living spaces. There are also a couple of tiny homes here. The number one concern will always be safety. And that is in fact what the zoning regulations are based upon. Reporter aside from zoning violation, inspectors also found Code Violations for the group that runs this space, alameda believes it is safe. I dont see any danger. Its an imaginary issue. Reporter the city is demanding the group to clear out the animals and the people. At last weeks city council meeting, they asked city leaders for more time to move. This is the first time we have had a real pig here. We are looking to have a new space that we can have both the maker space, the urban farm space, and living space along with it. Reporter the group is suggesting the city to provide space for them at the alameda point. There may or may not be space at the point. I know people think theres all this empty space not being used but it is. Reporter nearby businesses say the People Living there are good neighbors. Though they say about 10 or so pigs got out recently and wandered onto the street. Some of the folks who live here include engineers working start ups. One Business Owner says the city is doing the right thing. Its a mess. I mean. It is not in keeping with the buildings and the businesses surrounding it. Reporter they are looking at a piece of land out in the delta. They are just now working with the city of alameda asking city leaders to give them more time. Im da lin, kpix5.

Every step of the way. His disastrous day on the green is next. Sunday in the nba all star game. But the two are already united off the court tly taped lebron james and kevin durant will be teammates in the nba allstar game. But the two are already united off the court. They recently taped a podcast together for uninterrupted and they did not just stick to sports. James is critical of the way President Trump had carried himself while in office. The number one job in america, the point of person, is somebody who doesnt understand the people. And really dont give a [bleep] about other people. While we cannot change what comes out of that mans mouth, we can continue to alert the people that watch us, that listen to us, that this is not the way. Reporter so james comments did not go over well with fox new. There might be a cautionary lesson in lebron for kids. This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the nba. And, it is always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid 100 million a year to bounce a ball. So keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone once said, shut up and dribble. As you expect, that didnt sit well with durant. He told usa today that was definitely an ignorant comment.
