after the supreme court let stand a lower court ruling that allows homeless people to sleep on public sidewalks or in city parks if there is no other shelter available. kpix 5's len ramirez is in san jose with reaction from the city. >> reporter: well the san jose housing department says it agrees with the court's decision that criminalizing homelessness and poverty is not a solution, but that perspective may be put to the test as more and more people appear to be moving into the parks and sidewalks of san jose. tents and piles of homeless people supplies are now sprinkled around st. james park as homeless people appear to be moving in to stay. at the same time the san jose police have stepped up patrols and appear to be questioning people sitting on benches. the city has been trying to clear out the park for years, but under a supreme court decision, there might not be much the city can do if homeless people decide to stay. >> it's a small victory. >> reporter: pastor scott wages ministers to the homeless in san jose and say it is court made the right decision to let stand a lower court ruling that allows homeless to stay in parks or sidewalks if there's no other shelter to stay. >> i think not allowing them to stay anywhere, literally having nowhere to go, it's unethical. >> reporter: the 9th u.s. circuit court of appeals ruled that prosecuting people for sleeping in parks or on sidewalk social security a violation of their 8th amendment rights. >> get their houses tore up, stuff tore down. >> reporter: several large encampments were recently swept near the union-pacific train tracks, but they only move a few feet away. >> from one spot to another spot. it makes it hard on them. >> the sweeps are a total waste of time. i've seen this now for 6 years since the jungle closed. they've not gotten into housing. >> reporter: late this afternoon, san jose's housing department put out a statement that says quote, the solution to homelessness is more housing that is affordable to low and moderate income households. in san jose, len ramirez, kpix 35. a new report out says some bay area corporations paid no federal income tax in 2018. they're among

keeps threatening ocean front homes in the north bay, and retaining walls don't always help. kpix 5's don ford shows us the ongoing problem. >> reporter: it's one of those magnificent million dollar views. the problem is, the view keeps getting closer and closer to the house. there used to be a road between the house and cliff, but the cliff is eroding away, falling slowly into the pacific. the homeowner has approved permits from marin county to build a retaining wall, but the coastal commission said no. the coastal commission didn't get back to me. but long time resident and volunteer fire captain peter smith says. >> a couple years ago a few houses went down. >> reporter: this is not the first house to be threatened. >> it's constantly happening. where we're standing used to be a road. you build a house by the ocean, mother nature is going to get you. >> reporter: to prove his point, fire captain smith took me on a little tour. >> so that house was right here. and this whole area here is just oozing down constantly. >> reporter: example after example, lot after lot. he said the cliffs are all moving. >> this concrete down here. >> reporter: here he says is a retaining wall that was 40 feet up the hill. the wall and the house behind it all came down only 4 years ago. >> but i don't think there's a way to stop it. >> reporter: but this house still hasn't gone down yet, and the owner is still trying to save it. he has about 50 feet to go. don ford, kpix 5. still ahead on kpix 5 and cbsn bay area. >> reporter: i'm juliette goodrich in pleasant hill. they call these in-law units, and soon the bay area could see a backyard housing boom. >> >. no more space around the chase center? think again. the proposals for more development in the mission bay neighborhood. >>

them. kpix 5's juliette goodrich is in pleasant hill where they're talking about it right now. >> reporter: that's right, the pleasant hill city council will be talking about it, and they're calling it an urgency ordinance to get the language moving to streamline the process and make it easier for people and it's already working. they call them granny units or in-law units. you name it, and now coming to a backyard near you, you may see more of them popping up. now that pleasant hills city council will be expediting the permit process. this is an example of a backyard cottage or in-law unit. the homeowners could actually rent it out down the road, and the ordinance, this emergency ordinance gives units like this the green light to go ahead and build cheaper and with less red tape. appealing to many homeowners like linda turner who has lived in pleasant hill for 40 years and has space to build but held off due to the time consumer permit process. >> i definitely have room for it in the back, so it's just which side we'd go down, extend the driveway or whatever. >> reporter: streamlining the permit and approval process will help create more affordable housing. >> the idea is it will generate housing supply. it's not going to fix the housing crisis, but it will make affordable options available to people in a number of different settings. it could be a garage that's converted to a housing unit. >> reporter: turner can understand why some might say not in my backyard. she says they need some rules and regulations. >> i like it as long as they're not going to build two story places and keeps the general, you know, look of the neighborhood the same. >> reporter: so tonight the city council will discuss this emergency ordinance, and tomorrow night in walnut creek they will be doing the same thing. also another note to this, the property owner does not have to live on the premises in this new ordinance as they do now. and this is a live egret here in front of

last. we'll just keep adding to the totals whether it's the reservoirs or snow pack in the sierra. not tomorrow though. don't grab the umbrella just yet, that's coming on wednesday. so hopefully you had a chance to get outside on monday because the numbers don't tell the whole story. the numbers tell you that we made it to a very average day for the daytime highs, but after the week of weather we've been having, i think today was anything but average. you had a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine. these numbers although typical for mid-december might have felt a bit warm out in the afternoon getting direct sun on you. we have 2 more storms out in the pacific. the first one out here lining up, not that far. and the next for saturday. let's come in for a closer look at this first one. bring them both on shore. the first one comes in right there. you see the time stamp that says wednesday morning? and that's really the way i think about this. it's going to be wednesday morning's commute to work that we'll pick up another enough. it will slow down your drive for the first half of wednesday. now the next storm arrives saturday into sunday, and that's it lined up right into the coast as we get into, right in between the 2. saturday and sunday. the general take away is rain both days. probably the second half of saturday into sunday. let's look at the one for wednesday's commute since we have clearer information. tuesday night, 10:00, already off the coast. but you can see the brighter colors here. the pops of yellows and oranges. as we get into the wednesday morning time frame, that says 5:00 a.m., and right over the heart of the bay area, there's enough rain we have to deal with it for the drive into work on wednesday morning's commute. 8:00 a.m., still here. watch what happens as we get into the afternoon. moves into the sierra. and we could have a few left over showers for the second half of wednesday. rainfall totals from the first system, those are good enough that that's a moderate storm for us. decent, not a deluge, but it's enough to get the streets wet. morning lows tomorrow, a little better than today. we start a gradual warm up now. if you thought it was cold this morning, the temperatures will improve gradually over the next 3 days. the daytime highs don't change. upper 50s for daytime highs, around average. except for when the rain makers come through wednesday and again saturday and sunday. back over to you. all right, darren. the 49ers clinched a playoff spot, but at what cost? and who called to apologize to jon gruden after the raider lost their final game at the coliseum? on the economy, a unique leader. mike bloomberg's created over 400,000 jobs. as president, an opportunity economy that works for us. tax fairness -- where the wealthy pay their fair share. education .. affordable college and high skill vocational training so people can succeed in the new economy. economic security .. lower cost health care and affordable middle-class housing. proven leadership on jobs .. to build an economy where people don't just get by, they get ahead. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. sunday marked the end of an era as the raiders had an all too familiar outcome for the home team. >> some of these people will never be to a raider game again. it's the last time they'll go, and you feel for him. >> stomping the yard 24 years, and i'm clocking out. >> i don't believe that. the raiders were booed off the field after blowing a double digit lead and losing their fourth straight game. today the league office admitted the officials got it wrong when they ruled derek carr out of bounds with 2 minutes and 5 seconds remaining. it stopped the clock and stopped the raiders chance to run out the clock and secure the win. >> the league called and apologized, and we accept the apology. i'm not happy about it. you know, apologies are great, but this is 2020. i've been in enough meetings and i'm disgusted by it. i don't want any instant replay in my life personally, but if we're going to have it, let's use it properly, i don't think it's that hard. >> well done by the head coach. as for the 49ers, it was billed as the dreaded trap game, and they fell right into it, losing at home to last place atlanta falcons. >> i don't think we played at any type of intensity we've been playing all year and we have to figure that out. >> the falcons took advantage of the 49er ers depleted secondary, but san francisco got a playoff berth and can win the number 1 seed with a win in seethe in 2 weeks. >> i think we played a lot of really good football, and i think we're definitely be back to that and hopefully this lights a fire under us. >> mixed emotions. it's always good to get into the playoffs, but how it happened is tough. joe and peter bought the warriors in 2010, and today golden state was named the franchise of the decade. watching the warriors must-see tv. they were basketball's new version of show time, but how quickly things changed. last night green off the break, passes off the back board. the warriors blown out by the kings. they're a league worst 5 and 23.
