Its only been open for six weeks but people who live near the Navigation Center say its already become a magnet for tents and drug user. Now there is an effort to block additional shelters throughout the city. Amber lee is live along San Franciscos waterfront. Reporter a neighbor to this new Navigation Center tells me he supports the new measure, limiting the number of Navigation Centers and where they should be located. He tells me this new center has attracted more Homeless People into the area. This controversial waterfront Navigation Center along San Franciscos embarcadero has been up and running since december 20th. A neighbor said he just learned that someone died at this Navigation Center. He showed us this Critical Incident report, it reads there was a person in the restroom deceased. It goes on to say my First Response was to administer narcan as a precaution, there was no reaction. Lee says these are photos of the homeless encampments that have popped up in the neighborhood because of the Navigation Center. Some of the tents are from people who are in the center and they want to sleep outside. Former San Francisco mayoral candidate is a coauthor of the bill that will limit Navigation Centers in the city. Its not based on the need. Navigation centers should be located where there are the largest number of Homeless People. Advocates for housing say the homeless crisis is a citywide problem. I think its really ugly. I think its at best misguided. Everyone needs to deal with it. If they are upset and its a problem, good, i hope it motivates them to do more. This man tells me his drug use led to four years of homelessness. It would make sense to keep it around the homeless area, if you put them in every neighborhood it will disperse the people throughout the city. Greenberg says his goal is to get the measure on the november ballot. To qualify he needs 8900 signatures by july 21. Amber, thank you.

Reporter we will start seeing much more of them in the coming weeks at. Bernie sanders and Pete Buttigieg are both coming to california in the coming days and Michael Bloomberg just opened a new office here in the bay area. I like mike signs and camping t shirts fill the office in Pleasant Hill for the grand opening of the headquarters for Michael Bloomberg. This is the guy that will eat donald trump. The growing mayers for micah group is growing in endorsements. The Republican Party is not the Republican Party it used to be. The party of lincoln, its morphed over several years.

Ernie sanders plans to return to the bay area on monday. His previous rallies have drawn big crowds, such as this one in San Francisco last summer. Pete buttigieg picked up a key endorsement. He will be on stage with buttigieg was holding a town hall on friday. To be able to go from being virtually unknown to being a front runner in a matter of a year or so shows his tenacity and energy.

California has about 5 1 2 Million People listed as a no party preference. Thats more than 25 of the registered voters. Many candidates are hoping to try to gain their support. Early voting has already started, so if they can convince people to lock in their votes, that can pay dividends on march 3. The most recent poll out of california by the capital weakly gives Bernie Sanders a solid lead in the golden state. He received 29 support in the poll taken last week.

In a rare break from the president , william barr today criticized the president for publicly commenting on Justice Department cases and their prosecutors. Barr has been facing mounting scrutiny on how his department handled the sentencing of roger stone. Earlier this week the doj overruled a sentencing recommendation from their own prosecutors and took the extraordinary step of lowering the amount of jail time he will seek. He blasted the recommendation as horrible and unfair. During an interview with abc news, barr said the president s tweets about the doj can be disruptive. To have public statements and tweets made about the department, about people in the department, men and women here, about cases pending in the department, and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job. Barr has also agreed to testify next month before the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions on whether he intervened in the stone case.

We will continue to see dry weather into the weekend when we see you back here, ill let you know how long it lasts. Coming up, the issue with socalled ghost kitchens and how they plan to deal with the matter. Huge tax breaks for the rich, while the middleclass continues to struggle. Thats what happens when billionaires are able to control the political system. Our campaign is funded by the working people of this country, and those are the people that i will represent. No more tax breaks for billionaires. We are going to guarantee health care to all people and create up to 20 million good paying jobs to save this planet. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message because we need an economy that works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors. New at 10, the members of moms for housing were arrested after illegally living in a house in oakland. I found out today they will not be charged. Mr. Cross along with two supporters were briefly jailed last month on charges of resisting arrest. That came after sheriffs deputies attempted to remove them from a home they were squatting in. Today the group says they found out from the Alameda CountyDistrict Attorneys Office that all charges have been dropped. The women first made headlines back in november when they started living in a vacant home illegally to raise awareness about housing and homelessness. Deputies came under fire other tactics it during that eviction, now oakland is moving toward a new policy. Debora villalon is live in city hall or the Police Commission is talking about the department becoming too militarized. Reporter in their view that would include the bearcat, the Armored Vehicle the department applies a few times a week. They say theres no policy on when and where its appropriate. We went hold that Alameda County sheriffs accountable. Dominic walker is one of the homeless mothers affected last month. What bothers her still, and brought her before the oakland Police Commission, the deputies show of force that morning. There were robots, drones, datagrams, tanks, ar 15s, for moms and babies. The tanks were bearcats, Alameda County sheriffs who carry out evictions have four of them. Oakland police have one. Lawenforcement agencies say nothing can shield them or save the public from gunfire any better. The Police Department rolls this out about twice a week in east oakland. The decisionmaking for how and when the bearcat is deployed is a mystery. They believe its often used to intimidate. They look like an Occupying Army in a neighborhood. Its just overkill. Critics point to the shooting death of a homeless man who had a gun but was passed out. Oakland officers used at the bearcat as a perch to open fire. To have someone who is not even conscious being fired upon is indefensible. Now the Police Commission, only two years old, is pushing toward a resolution that will require police to create a use policy on militaristic equipment and report annually on how its used. I think there is a lack of trust to begin with. The councilman shares the safety committee. He believes that there is a balance between restraint and crimefighting. We have all the respects for Law Enforcement but in terms of the tools being used, there is a great debate. He agrees that the moms eviction was necessarily heavy handed. The women say they were terrorized. It caused a lot of trauma so we are here to support this legislation, its a start to a good thing. Police data obtained by 2 investigates shows that oakland rose at its bearcat twice as often as San Francisco. The city council is expected to vote on these reforms in the next few months.

The driver initially took off after the collisions but returned about five minutes later. Authorities are now examining footage from surveillance cameras. We want to gather as much information so we can present this case to the District Attorneys Office. Two of the passengers were critically injured, the other was treated at the scene. Police initially suspected that the suspect was paired by drugs or alcohol but now they say neither appears to be a factor. Federal Officials Say that almost 10 of california is now facing Drought Conditions after weeks of abnormally dry weather. Heres the latest drought monitoring map released today. You are looking at video of water, but the map shows that nearly half of the state is considered abnormally dry. The tan area is classified as moderate drought, and the snowpack which accounts for one third of the water supply is now only at about 59 of average. Bill martin joins us now. So how long will these dry conditions last . It looks like it will last right through the month of february. With rainfall amounts basically being zero in most locations. So we lose that water in the bank, or we are going to come and that puts us way behind where we want to be. This is the time of year where its hard to catch up. When you get into february, march and april, numbers are up there, so we are going to have to get at least one or two atmospheric rivers to bring us back to where we need to be. And those are big events. But thats where we are, with rainfall and snowfall. We will see, march could be very wet, but thats where we stand now. About 50 of the rainfall average, it varies from city to city. Temperatures today got up to the 50s, cooler than yesterday by a lot. Yesterdays temperatures were in the 70s, even some upper 70s and low 80s. Tomorrow will be a little warmer, with a little bit of fog on the coast. This gradual warming will continue into the weekend.

Children arent getting a quality education. Mike is going to fight for all the children. I saw him do it in the Largest School system in america. Hes going to do the same thing in this country. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. New at 10, ktvu has learned that Union City Police have made an arrest nearly 3 months after two young boys were shot and killed. They also seized drugs and guns in connection to the killings. A 14yearold and 11yearold were inside a van in the School Parking lot at 1 30 in the morning when two gunmen fired at that van.

Some of the more than 700 inmates on death row at san quentin may have a chance to transfer to other prisons. The transfers could save the state money because of increased security cost. The state hasnt executed anyone since 2006 and Governor Newsom propose the moratorium when he took office saying it will last as long as hes in office.
