The night. It is unclear to me why folks need to, at 2 00 in the morning, need to be dropped off that far north and doesnt terminate at the terminal. So, ive got a lot of questions. Reporter in 2018 San Francisco was part of a Class Action Lawsuit against the state of nevada after it was discovered that patients were being put on a oneway bus from vegas to the city. Mayor london breed says she wants the City Attorneys Office to look into it. San francisco cant do it alone, and its not fair to expect that we can. So i would want a county to be a good partner in trying to work with us. Reporter samtrans says the story is not clearcut, that Homeless People are not being put in buses only to be dropped off in San Francisco. What we understand this is Homeless People who end up at sfo and are specifically given a sanfrans token to take them back to San Francisco. Reporter sometimes police give homeless tokens at sfo when bart service ends. A bus either takes them to San Francisco or palo alto. I did reach out to the City Attorneys Office. They will look into this matter. They told me they cant comment on any investigation. In San Francisco, chris reyes for abc7 news. Chris, thank you. And our chronicle insider was the first one to break the story on the homeless being bused into San Francisco. Its an ongoing problem or a new problem that one San Francisco supervisor is calling a game with Musical Chairs where one agency or one jurisdiction is moving the homeless, with well intentions, to another one. But somewhere along the line it hits the end of the line and they have to get off and they wind off on the streets. And in this case on the streets of San Francisco. So, aaron peskin is the person who said that this was unconscionable that they are doing this sort of shuttle from the Homeless People from sfo to downtown San Francisco. Can you expand on that a little bit . What exactly does he find so revolting around this . The state of nevada was actually treating some of its psychiatric patients by giving them oneway tickets to San Francisco, and it was called patient dumping. He sees this as sort of homeless dumping and proof that there is no coordination going on. Everybodys got a good intention. Samtrans gives out tokens to the homeless in San Mateo County through various organizations for them to go to a job interview, look for a place to live. But there is no guarantee that theyre not just going to take those and move on to San Francisco. And there is much more to come from this developing issue. You can find the rest of the reporting on this story up right now on abc7news. Com. Sonoma county grappling with how to tackle a milelong homeless camp along a trail in santa rosa. Its part of its effort to try to build a better bay area. The decision by the county to move people to las gilicas park isnt going well with some. Reporter in two weeks this empty parking lot near oakmont will be filled with new neighbors. I dont like it at all, no. I think the homeless, i dont know where they all come from. They pay no taxes, and they want to have a choice where theyre going to live . Reporter this person is angry that the juvenile justice campus about a mile away from where she lives is being convert neighborhood a temporary outdoor shelter. Up to 60 Homeless People of the more than 200 who currently live along the trail could be relocated to this site, roughly ten miles away when that area is cleared by the end of january. Its also near a home for abused children and a juvenile detention facility. I just dont think theyre going to set a good example for those children over there.

Reporter mom first rushed her to a local emergency room which immediately transferred her to the Childrens Hospital in oakland.

Its a disease that affects the spinal cord. Its victims are often young. Early symptoms mimic a cold leading researchers to believe its caused by a virus.

Have you ever seen anything like this before . Have not seen anything like this. And this was the only species that was dead. All the seagulls, shore birds, terns, ravens are all still running around here. Reporter the birds appear to be the western grebe according to the experts. There may be a problem with a food source. Reporter pam young is the executive director of the local audubon society. We showed her the photos and she said the bird deaths are mysterious and troubling. We need to perform whats called a necropsy. The same procedure is done on an animal to determine if its been poisoned. And certainly we want to be able to rule that out. Reporter an expert from lindsay wildlife told us the deaths may be relatively normal in that the birds were too weak or didnt put on enough weight to make their migratory journey or spend the winter here. Still, some who frequent crown beach worry when they see a number of dead birds all at once. Wed at least like to see somebody look into it. With the incoming weather, experts say more of these birds could wash up on shore. If they do, east bay Regional Park says they will have their rangers try to pick one up and send it to a lab for further study. Its a beautiful sunset right there.
