In oakland, they are struggling to find a solution to the homeless camp. And it is a spill over into San Francisco. Reporter welcome to the oakland hidden homeless, and in the past year there has and eight growing collection of shantytowns, tents and shacks spring up along the oakland bart tracks and freeways, and most of it just out of sight of the booming downtown. But sometimes it is in the middle of the street. Just go out to 80 p street in international, it takes up half of the city block. Oakland is not really struggling with the homeless problem, but we realize this is a Mental Health problem, Substance Abuse problem, and we have to ensure that we provide services and not just housing to the people on the streets. Reporter it is becoming a visible problem for city hall. We get complaints on a daily basis, and you can see all of the homeless living in the encampments, taking all of the garbage and throwing it on the sidewalks. Reporter how many people are in the city trying to do with this . I dont know. Reporter we do approach this with care and compassion. We have mobile units Offering Services to get the people into the transitional housing. Ive seen people being pushed around from different areas, and they find an encampment for two weeks or month. The numbers have risen drastically in the last year. We are overwhelmed in the ability to deal with this. We will pilot tiny homes as well as explore sanctioned encampments. Reporter like so many of the oakland residents, many are coming because they are being pushed out of San Francisco. Theres a definite spillover from San Francisco. Reporter it is not just San Francisco. We of the Oakland City Council member noah gile joining us. It appears one day you were feeding the homeless camps and tuesday you are taking them down. Youre absolutely right. This morning we will be cleaning in clearing the homeless encampment on part this morning, and it is a challenge we have, trying to do the spiritual thing on one end, feeding the homeless on tuesdays, and then i get complaints from the neighbors in schools, along with residents that want their encampments removed from their neighborhood. This problem, about a year ago we had scattered camps throughout among the freeways, and it was the state highways and freeways. In caltrains started putting up fences to keep people out, and the next thing they were under the freeways in oakland. In the last few months they have gone from under the freeways to all over. What has happened . They are in the parks, school grounds, troubled lines, caltrans and even on the city property. It is a growing challenge, not just in oakland but nationwide. But in oakland, you are not the county so you do not have the welfare system to get rolling on this and im not even sure you have the money. You said you would spend 1 million to go for the outrage. San francisco spends 250 million. Absolutely. The problem is how to provide housing. I see this daily, grandmothers and seniors sleeping in their cars that are does laced from the housing, displaced from the housing, and i also see children. There are families with their kids, anywhere from oneyear old to three years old sleeping in the park. Children and grannies you can probably get housing for and they will probably stay in it. But what i saw, most people are clearly on on meth or other drugs. Absolutely. When there is a Law Enforcement issue, and it is also a Public Safety and health issue. Are we telling the cops to do anything . Right now, the only time we call a Police Officer is when there is a homeless that is drugged out and in the middle of the street with the pipe trying to hit cars are trying to jump off a bridge. Those are the realities. We do call the officers, but at the same time, public works is out there daily to remove the encampments. Understand you are investing in tiny houses to try to get the people off of the street. We are trying to get the cooperation of caltrans, the housing authority, to take in the homeless, and there is a moved to create tiny houses that we can relocate on public land, caltrans ore city land to accommodate the homeless caltrans or city land, to accommodate the homeless. But each is a cost of about 1000, and who is going to take care of this . We have other news to take care of, and back to you. The Drought Conditions are not helping the lake tahoe water level. The precipitation was near average, only 6. 5 fell as snow in 2015, the lowest ever recorded. Not to mention that the uc davis experts say that the lakes average temperature is rising at an alarming rate on the surface and remaining cold underneath. And why is that important . The wind flows in the lakes moving around but not mixing. That is important for transporting oxygen to the bottom of the light. The Research Data will help with the influence of the decisions and to help with the lake tahoe basin. Back in the bay, i dont believe we have any rain in the forecast. We have no rain forecasted, but certainly drizzle along the coast, so you could see this on the windshield as you drive around. And i will bet the runners are filling the midst, and you can see them crossing the golden gate bridge, temperatures in the 50 areawide. We are off to a cool and great start, gray skies, low clouds making their way inland. The air quality for today likely smoke in the Santa Clara Valley and in parts of the south bay along with livermore and the east bay. Elsewhere, the forecast is good. You will notice the gray skies and fog, especially along the coast. The 4 00 futurecast showing it pulling back along the coast, socking in San Francisco and sunshine inland. Tomorrow this is going to move back in, and indication of a cooling trend heading our way. The wind service wind surface profile showing the stronger onshore flow, and cooling even inland. Cooler than yesterday and we will continue to see that trend through the work week. We will have a deepening trough that will help to drop the temperatures this week and beyond. For now we are at or below average for this time of year, 60s along the coast, 70s along the bay, mid80s inland. And livermore topping out at 91, as warm as it gets today, upper 80s for many in the east bay, and upper 80s in the north bay as well. Your extended forecast shows this cooling trend, topping out at near 90, and most folks inland seeing temperatures in the 80s through the extended forecast, and in the second half of next week, interest dropping even more.

Donald trump accusing Hillary Clinton of tampering with the debate schedule, and we weigh in on what to expect in the final months of the election and on the debate stage. ,,,,,,,,,, includes three general election debates between september and october. Donald trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of turning back to campaign 2016, the race for the white house including three general election debates, and donald trump accusing Hillary Clinton of rigging the schedule. He tweeted, as usual hillary trying to rid the debate. Same as last time with bernie. Unacceptable. But the dates of been set since last september on the nonpartisan for the debates. Things are beginning to heat up now that the conventions are over, and we ask willie brown where will the race go from here. We are in for an interesting ride, and in the most political contest for the presidency. We have not had anything like this in a long time. Politically and personally, i cannot remember anything close to this. In a Society Making a decision about itself. You have to understand, we have donald trump, an entirely new concept. With politicians do things similar to each other, but trump does it differently than anybody. And all of the supporters are doing it differently. For example, is already saying that he had nothing to do with the republican the Mission Republican convention in he was just there to make the speech. That is the next big move, do they have them . I think everybody will be out there screaming for debate. But trump will only do it if he thinks it is an advantage. And it may not be an advantage because he does not have any weaklings, he has Hillary Clinton one on one, and he will have to be careful because there were only be talented journalists asking the questions. They will not let him off the hook. She will have to be careful as well. Keep in mind, hillary is good at that kind of thing. And the people of her intellect, Mutual Respect but most of the people that will be asking her the questions. She will not try to skirt, but he will. He will try to reframe it, and to tweak it during the course of the process, and they will not let him. You think this will be something to watch . You may not get a chance to watch it. If i read trump correctly, he will say he want to debate, and the negotiations going on by my people are not having anything to do with it at the moment, but i want a debate because i want to get hillary one on one. That will be november 10 before that debate comes up in the process happens. I have to ask you, he tweeted on friday that Hillary Clinton is rigging the schedule, the debate schedule. What do you think about that . I think he is planes what willie brown said, agree to the debate and then right out of the gate saying you have times problems with the times and the place. And he will say give me the format or he will not do it. Everybody is playing to win, not necessarily to debate. You think he is scared to go against Hillary Clinton one on one . Think about it, they are both on the stage together a sheet is a tough cookie and he towers over her. She is like the captain of the football team, and it she is that person that has always been in the front of the class, raising her hand with the teacher calls and having the right answer. And if he is towering over her and looking down on her and being accusatory, and she is looking up at him, she could come across tougher than he does.

And we are still waiting for the results of how the democrats did and how that could affect Hillary Clintons numbers. We have our political analyst melissa caen joining us. Welcome back. And you have your boy. Good to be back and im working on it. The republicans were bigger than life, and a huge screen, and the democrats appeared to be lower key. It was lower and wider. I dont know that we can read much into the ideology, but that is one reason why the democratic delegates had to sit in the stands because they were taking up a lot of the floor space with this wide set up as opposed to the republican one that was more high in focused on the speaker. Both of the conventions brought the appearance into the pictures and talk about that. Two of the most compelling speeches, and what i remember from the days and days of speeches, the parents of the children killed in combat, Patricia Smith on the republican side, and giving a very emotional recount of how she feels about Hillary Clinton based him what happened and then ghazi. Been ghazi. Benghazi. And the other one was from khizr khan whose son was killed in combat, and saying that he would give donald trump a copy of the constitution, and saying he did not sacrifice anything. Both made the delegates explode. It was a preplanned show when we are waiting to see what the numbers say when they come in. What was going on during the off screen . People started taping in at the hillary usa and what was going on in the halls . Most of that was drowning out sanders supporters and others chanting at a particular time. And a lot of this came from the california delegation, and we were not wellliked among the general population. Once again. No wonder we had seats off to the side, and they were chanting, walk the walk an appeal for Hillary Clinton to keep her promise to progressives. When those things would happen, the people around them would surround them and start chanting hillary or usa which was the cause of the lot of the chanting. Offcamera, what was the mood at the two conventions . Everything was programmed in screen, and you were out walking among the delegates. The Republican Convention had a lot of negativity in terms of speakers, and a lot of people talking about the gloom and doom. But the people on the floor were happy to be there, and they were likeminded people. Despite the fact that they were booing the press, when you spoke with them individually they were nice. The democrats started out temp it, but by thursday ready to go. What about the bloomberg appearance . Turning independent. He was compelling. It will be interesting to see. Being president involves finding solutions, not findings pointing fingers. And it needs to install hope and not fear. There were a lot of heady theaters heavy hitters, barack obama and Vice President joe biden. And they got him in there to speak bloomberg, even though he was running as an independent. In the room it was one of the best speeches that was overlooked but will go down as one of the best cases against donald trump made at the convention.
