The bay area desperately needs more housing, but is this busy parking lot the solution and the right place . Sites like these are at the center of a new battle on the peninsula. To address the housing crisis, the state has ordered cities and counties to create a plan to add a certain number of homes or risk losing funding for the entire area. The goal is more than 441,000 new homes. The city of san mateos share of that number is more than 7,000 homes.

Our kevin ko explains perform reporter im at the bridgepoint Shopping Center in san mateo and this parking lot behind me is where the city says it can build 340 new Housing Units.

The city says that it believes that 8 1 2 acres could be used for housing, that someone could maybe build a garage and then put housing next to it on 8 1 2 acres of the parking lot. The problem with that is that theres an agreement that goes back to when the center was created that says this place is for retail.

I remember when i was camping up in tahoe, i went to get firewood and hear the ranger yelling bear, bear and then there was this big old bear just walking right through the campsite. Its their home. They were here first. Yeah. Theyre like youre on my land. I dont know what youre doing. Do not care about the people at all. I remember that one time i slept through the night entirely only to go to my car the next morning and find the box of cereal and bagels id left in the car were scattered throughout the campground. This was about 15 years ago. Theyre smart. I learned my lesson. They can open car doors. They are not messing around when they say keep food out of the car. Lets talk about this change in the weather coming our way. Its going to be noticeably cooler the next couple days. We looked at that through the lens of both the big threeday Holiday Weekend and carnaval. Theres one other kind of big event happening which is weather dependent. Heres the forecast for bottlerock. Were inland here in napa. You dont notice as big of swing, but you still notice the warmup by the time we get through on sunday, 75 the daytime high. Saturday technically is the coolest day of the weekend, but you dont really notice it a lot. Youll start with morning clouds and have plenty of sunshine throughout the day. They know what theyre doing by scheduling bottlerock this time of year. In napa its going to be great, a very busy weekend. Lets use tomorrow as the example only because i dont want to overlook the difference thats already about to take place for tomorrow. From a daytime high standpoint and youre all going to notice this, but really those kind of inland locations, look at san jose. Your numbers were mid to upper 70s today, upper 60s tomorrow. Look at livermore. You were into the low 80s today, only going to the upper 60s tomorrow. Saturday is the coolest day. Saturday is the day when the clouds are going to fill back in. Its going to look different, but really its tomorrow when the cooldown kind of really gets going, not like its a cold snap or anything, but its 10 to 15 degrees cooler tomorrow for many of our inland spots, San Francisco low 60s. You wont notice a lot of difference in the city or along the coast from today till tomorrow. In those inland valleys you will. Temperatures in the north bay are hanging onto a little warmth. Its really the inland east bay and south bay which get a head start on this cooldown which is taking us into saturday. Lets look at how this plays out in terms of this for the rest of the forecast and what well do is use the forecast imagery and leave behind the bottlerock forecast. Thats us today, no marine layer. Let me show you how this comes back saturday. Well go back for a wider view and use the forecast imagery to show you the next system coming into the west coast. Watch what this thing does. It stays in the pacific northwest, but all of a sudden clouds rush back in. Thats saturday, a lot more marine layer and cloudiness than todays satellite and the last several days. Lets go closer and watch that again. A few high clouds tonight get pulled overhead. They arent really that significant. They kind of start the cooldown for tomorrow. What you see show up here going into saturday, its very subtle, but there was a weak little cold front there. As that thing leaves, behind it the marine layer really rushes in. That is a dramatic difference for saturday. We wake up on saturday morning and youre like oh, right, it is may. Its supposed to be gray here in the mornings like bay areawide in may. It had been easy to forget that the last few days. Its really just saturday its coming back because of that assist from the weak little cold front over head friday night into saturday. Theres going to be so much marine layer to this, as we look at saturdays intrusion right here, there will be a little mist along the coast. Saturday morning the marine layer is thick enough we get some of that marine layer mist and some of that will probably even be somewhat measurable like a 0. 01inch of rain. Lets put it all in the sevenday forecast and use our inland microclimate first and see what happens here with the theme, saturday inland 67, cloudy in the morning. I think youll have plenty of sunshine bay areawide saturday afternoon. Its just the Morning Saturday were looking at the marine layer gray. By the middle of next week, your daytime highs inland are going back up to the low and mid60s. Well do the same thing for our microclimate within the immediate bay itself, similar story in terms of cloudiness through the mornings and sunshine in the afternoon. Guys, back to you. Thank you.

Anne makovec introduces to us a north bay author who put the raw emotion of a common immigration story into print. She really channeled those who came before her for this book. It is the story of so many filipino families. The children who were left behind while their parents came to the u. S. To be caretakers for americans, when they were finally able to send for those children, those children had to learn to bloom in a whole new world.
