While some crime still exists, these merchants say its not the same as it was six months ago. There was a time not long ago when downtown san jose almost lost this as part of its landscape. What was happening outside the App Developers headquarters on south 2nd street had them thinking about making a change. There were some dangerous crimes. There was a gang almost that was involved. Reporter in fact, because of the violence, pingers ceo threatened to pull his business and his 60 employees out of the downtown area. We thought about not renewing the lease. I think a lot of people said, do we want to be here . And if its not going to change, then i dont think we can risk our employee safety to be downtown. Reporter the threat came at a time when the city was trying to lure more merchants downtown with incentives. Existing businessowners then met with city leaders. This is one of the results. Downtown merchants now pay for off Duty Police Officers to work the local streets. And evennm4 stop in at bay are stores and restaurants to check in. Dan, how are you doing . Doing well, sir. Good to see you. Reporter while crime isnt completely gone, businessowners say things are getting a little better.

Reporter the turnaround was enough to get greg to renew his lease, but the cofounder of pinger warns he wont hesitate to pull out if things go south again. Now, there are several highrise condominiums going up as we speak right now in the middle of this district. These merchants say that the condominiums should eliminate some of the bad elements from downtown san jose.

San francisco is proving to be a deadly place to walk. A Pedestrian Advocacy Group says the city is the most dangerous in california and second most dangerous in the nation. Nbc bay areas chase cain joins us live from San Francisco with two ways you can help make yourself and the street safer. Reporter jessica, the first thing you can do is pay attention, whether youre driving or whether youre walking because the District Attorney told us today one woman died this year because she had her face buried in her smartphone. Several other people were her. The exact same way. The other thing you should not do is to walk out into the street outside of a crosswalk because doing that very thing took a mans life just this morning. An elderly man backed over and killed by a recycling truck this morning on jones street, the most recent casualty in what has been a very deadly year for those who walk in San Francisco. Its no lie that our streets are not safe right now for pedestrians. Reporter the executive director of walk sf joined the District Attorney in a press conference today, both expressing concern about safety on our streets. Certainly if youre a p pedestrian you cannot assume vehicle is going to follow the rules of the road. Well deal with bad driving, right . They get cited, prosecuted. Some of them go to prison. That still does not bring a life back. Reporter plenty of lives have already been lost. Walk sf says this year has already been more deadly for pedestrians than last year when 18 people were killed. The number of people getting hit by cars outweigh the number of people getting shot or stabbed in our city by 2. 51. And yet we still oftentimes in the public think of this as accidents. But these arent accidents. These are crimes. Reporter in response, mta and the citys Planning Department launched walk first. An online database to help pedestrians stay safe and to allow them to submit feedback about which road and sidewalk projects are the most critical. But we all walk, right . So when were talking about pedestrian safety, it applies to all of us. It doesnt really matter if youre right. If you get hit by a car, you lost. Right . Reporter and we were talking about people crossing outside of crosswalks. Theyve just been doing that here behind us. As for walk first, the program that the city has put in place, they are taking public input through the end of january, so you still have five or six weeks to tell the city what you think should happen and then they hope to begin implementing those changes to make the streets safer by july. Live in San Francisco, chase cain, nbc bay area news. Chase, thank you. Now to the south bay. A company is recalling hundred pounds of sausage. It may be contaminated.

What he had to say about bay area native Brian Boitano named to the olympic delegation. Plus im scott budman. Could Silicon Valley be its own state . Coming up, why one wellknown venture capitalist said breaking up shouldnt be that hard to do. Looking better. California employers added more than 44,000 jobs in november. Labor Department Says the states Unemployment Rate dropped to 8. 5 . Its even lower than that in the bay area. The jobs came in fields like construction, transportation and manufacturing. As well as retail where jobs increased during the holidays traditionally. California, by the way, is one of the states that had the largest job gains this month. Hows this for an idea . Break up california into six different states including one called Silicon Valley. Might sound crazy but its an idea coming from a legendary bay area venture capitalist. In a story youll see only on nbc, business and tech reporter scott budman has the details. Reporter with jobs, ipos and sexy startups, Silicon Valley has become so successful, even the president uses it as an example of things done right. Give us an opportunity to attract more investment and highskill workers who are doing great things in places like Silicon Valley. Reporter so how about Silicon Valley becoming its own state . Thats the idea of a group called six californias, a plan to divide our one state into six states. Created by valley venture capitalist, tim draper. I think its this frustration that no one feels properly represented. Reporter and endorsed by the mayor of Silicon Valleys biggest city. Its very tempting because when i look at states that have a population less than the city of san jose, they have a governor and two senators. I want my senator. And this will be a way of getting a senator. Reporter senators aside, its early to be talking splitsville. So far, six californias is an idea and a website. But if you think about it, crazier things have happened around here. No one way back when, i mean, i think 20 years ago, no would could have imagined that wed be Walking Around with a cell phone that does so many things. Reporter he has a point. Cell phones, even skype which tim draper invested in back when it was just a crazy idea.

We want to bring in nbc bay areas cheryl hurd who joins us on the phone in san leandrolean. One person injured. Theyre still searching for the shooter. Whats the scene there . Is the mall open at this hour . Reporter its an eerie feeling because people are here. Theyre still shopping. The parking lot is packed. As you said. Police are still looking for the shooter. I arrived here just moments ago. What police are telling me right now is there was a shooting about 4 28 this afternoon. One person was shot. Now, police are telling me it looks like preliminarily it was an argument between two people and the person who was shot is suffering from non life threatening injuries. But im right in front of the target. There is tape all around a few cars. The justice for girls store is closed so i assume it happened right there. Right near the wells fargo. But target is open. People are shopping. Probably doing their christmas shopping. And the area is packed. But police are also looking for evidence as they walk slowly around trying to look for bullet casings. So, again, this all happened about 4 28, and people are shopping as usual. Well probably get an update in about a half hour. If we get it before the newscast is over, ill bring it to you. Were looking at nbc chopper footage over the bay fair mall in san leandro. Its kind of eerie, the mall remains open despite the shooting, about two hours ago. Lets take you to tracy now. This is the west valley mall in tracy. Youre looking at a photo from inside the mall. This also happened right around 4 55 this evening. They say near the jewelry store. You can see Jewelry Stores there in the background. Someone drove by, walked up and then shot through the glass of that front part of the mall. This is the east side of the mall. No mall evacuations have taken place. They say the shooter then got into a white car and left. Lots of police in the area. Theyre saying, again, this is near the jewelry store. Luckily no one was hurt at all, but theres still Police Presence at that mall. This is on the East Entrance behind the glee road. The shooter shooting into that doorway and then disappearing into the parking lot. Several roads are blocked off on the east side near the sears and, again, police are trying to get more information as to who that might be. But happening around 4 55 this afternoon at west valley mall in tracy. At this point we dont know the status of what other parts of the mall are open or not. Well continue to monitor it. President obama is on vacation en route to hawaii for Christmas Holiday. Before he left the white house this afternoon, he held his last News Conference of the year. Nbc bay areas janelle wang followed the entire hourlong News Conference. The president talking about everything from obamacare, nsa, Irans Nuclear program. Yes, a lot of topics. The latest Approval Ratings show, jessica, 2013 was the president s worst year so far. The president would disagree. You know what they say its the most wonderful press conference of the year. Reporter it started on a lighthearted note, but the questions turned serious quickly. Has this been the worst year of your presidency . Its not how i think about it. A lot of our legislative initiatives in congress have not moved forward as rapidly as id like. I completely understand that which means that im going to keep at it. Reporter that includes Immigration Reform and tighter gun control laws. As for the nsa spying controversy, next month the president will make a decision on whether to change any parts of the program calling it a balancing act. Are we doing this in the right way . Are we making sure that were keeping the American People safe, number one . Are we also being true to our Civil Liberties and our privacies and our values . Reporter as for iran, the president , again, urged congress to hold off on pushing for new sanctions. As a tentative deal has been reached on nuclear concerns. It is my goal toa. S preventn from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but i sure would rather do it diplomatically. Im keeping all options on the table. Reporter as for his biggest mistake this year, the president says it would be the rollout of his Health Care Reform law and the major glitches with the federal website. Since im in charge, obviously we screwed it up. Reporter and even though a deadline for all americans to sign up for Health Insurance is just three days away, theres now another lastminute change. The president says americans who had their individual coverage canceled will have two new choices. Go without insurance, if thats what they want, and be exempt from a federal fine. For now. Americans also now have the option of buying barebones coverage which did not previously qualify under obamacare. The president and his family are currently flying to his home state of hawaii where theyll be spending christmas and new years there. Janelle wang, nbc bay area news. Thank you. The president also mentioned sunnyvale product Brian Boitano, the gold medal figure skater made International Headlines this week. Mr. Obama was asked about the delegation he chose to represent the United States at the upcoming Winter Olympics in sochi, russia. The delegation features several openly fwrgay athletes. President would not directly say if the white house was sending a message to russia about what it thinks of russias antigay laws, but he did say this. The fact that weve got folks like billy gene king or Brian Boitano who themselves have been World Class Athletes that everybody acknowledges for their excellence but also for their character, who also happen to be members of the lgbt community, should take that for what its worth. Just yesterday, the 50yearold boitano publicly announced that hes gay. President obama will not attend the olympics which begin on february 7th. Now to a bay area followup. Pg e says that controversial gas pipeline in san carlos is back to being fully pressurized. California Public Utilities Commission Voted unanimously yesterday to allow that move. The pipeline has operated at a lower pressure since an engineer warned there could be another, quote, san bruno situation on a line that runs along britton avenue. Officials say the line is safe.

The team warns that many steps remain before its known whether their approach will actually come up with a better, more comprehensive vaccine. However, the lead researcher says he and his colleagues are committed to the effort because it is important for global health. It was one of the worst moments of his life, but it ended up where he found the love of his life. James costello wases seriously injured when those two bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, but he met a special nurse during his recan coverry in the hospital.

Were looking for 65 in morgan hill. 63, sunny in san jose. Also San Francisco possibly warmer than some of the interior valleys with a slight offshore wind. 64 across mid market. North bay, east bay and tri valley, youre going to love this forecast on saturday. Close to 70 in napa. 68 in santa rose rosa. Tri valley, the best forecast. Livermore, expecting 66. Shoppers, we have not forgot you. If you have lastminute shopping to do, youre headed to valley fair, stanford, union square, livermore, cordamadera as well, temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Cold mornings and sunny afternoons. By sunday, thats the day you want to be at the outside malls where numbers will be going a little bit warmer. I think the Stanford Shopping Center could be the place to go as we head throughout sundays forecast. Okay. If youre still shopping on a sunday, the very least it could be is a nice day. Ill be shopping on monday as well. Oh, wow. Pushing it. I got a good forecast for you, too, raj. Thanks, jeff. Im going to give you a list. Lets get to sports, ahmed fare fareed from the Comcast Sportsnet newsroom. Its a lousy period for the sharks. Last night a night to forget for the san jose sharks. Lost for the eighth straight time in l. A. Last night. They also lost their second leading goal scorer, tomas hurdle, thurt hertl after taking the kneeonknee hit from kings captain brown. How long is he going to be out . According to reports hertls father thinks its going to be about a month. Other reports indicate it could be longer than that. Tomas talks to his dad. Thats great. We talk to doctors. We talk to trainers. Were evaluating things today. Hes not playing tomorrow. Probably not play before christmas. And, you know, right now i dont expect him back for a little while. Lets let the doctors make that decision and lets let the trainers make that call. Its a tough question. Tomas has been a very impactful player for our team. Were going to have to find a way as a group to, you know, find that goal scoring that hes going to be out of the lineup with. But, you know, weve got the guys in the locker room who can do it, guys who can elevate the game and produce more offensively. Prognosis, cloudy. Every sport trying to figure out a way to keep their athletes safe. Baseball no exception. First homeplate collisions. Now this. Mlb will give pitchers the option of wearing protective headgear while it pitches this season. It will look similar to a hat and protect them from injuries. The orioles say the former as closer had a problem with his physical and the os backed out of the twoyear 15 million deal. Balfours agent not pleased and is considering filing a grievance against the baltimore orioles. Go to football now. The 49ers. Were just three days away from the most likely finale at candlestick park. Still a small chance the 49ers host a playoff game there but that is unlikely. That means former cal bear Tony Gonzalez will be part of history. The Atlanta Falcon tight end ending his 17year career after the season. The 49ers know his hall of fame resume. He could be the best ever tight end that ever suited up. Fabulous, fabulous player. Future hall of fame player. Does not look like a guy thats playing his final year. He understands defensive guys, leverage. He understands what the defensive guys are taught and what theyre trying to take away from him. He goes out there and he does what hes supposed to do. You know, as far as route running and, you know, taking angles away from guys and using his body to shield you off. Pushing off sometimes. And, you know, not refs not being able to see it because hes a veteran guy. Very crafty. So that would make some, you know, feel good. Rematch from the nfc championship just last year, raj and jessica, but the Atlanta Falcons not looking anything like that team. They only have four wins on the year. 410. Big ticket at candlestick next monday night. Thank, ahmed. Thats going to do it for sports. Well be back in a moment.
