11:09 pm
recovery after last week's earthquakes will take time. scathing new claims tonight that pg&e knew about a fire threat from'll high voltage power lines but did nothing about it. the "wall street journal" obtained documents through the freedom of information act. the journal says the documents show pg&e knew hundreds of miles of its aging lines could fail and spark fires, yet the utility never upgraded those lines. our investigative team previously reported some of pg&e's electrical towers are more than 100 years old. today the federal judge overseeing pg&e's probation used that "wall street journal" report and ordered pg&e to respond to those claims paragraph by paragraph. developing at this hour, heavy rains flooding new orleans. check that out. parts of the city have seen eight inches of rain. you can see people walking right through the water. the mayor has declared a state of emergency, but the heavy rain turns out is just beginning. that's because it's a tropical system in the gulf of mexico that's churning right off the coast.
11:10 pm
and that's expected to make landfall sometime early this week. we are back in 60 seconds with the outraged parents breaking their silence after they say a fertility clinic mix-up led to their baby being born to a total stranger. getting almost 1,500 people who were on the streets off the streets is real progress. >> mayor london breed's first year in office. we'll tell you what she accomplished and what she didn't. we investigate, next. .>> i'm chief meteorologist jeff i'll show you what to expect for tomorrow morning and how much hotter ahead coming up in about eight minutes.
11:11 pm
tomorrow marks one year since san francisco mayor london breed took office and in many ways the city is shining bright but it's also in a cultural and economic crossroads. >> as a candidate she promised to clean up the city, get homeless off the streets and eliminate encampments. so has she delivered?
11:12 pm
>> senior investigative reporter begat shaban goes one on one with the mayor. >> reporter: mayor london breed could become one of the longest-serving mayors in san francisco history. that's because when she finishes her current term which was left vacant after mayor ed lee passed away she's still eligible to run for two more full terms. that's a total of 9 1/2 years. which means policies put in place by her administration could have lasting effects. so we're taking a look at what she's done during her first year in office. markeese osby doesn't know where he'll sleep tonight. he's 30 years old and homeless. could you just walk into a shelter and get a bed? >> no. you have to go through the process of going to a shelter, signing up, waiting, coming back. it's a whole process. >> reporter: more than 1,000 people are on the city's wait list to get tinto a homeless shelter.
11:13 pm
so markeese spends his nights in a tent. that is until today when he says police forced him to hand it over. >> they came up and took my tent. about right here. >> reporter: law enforcement has increasingly partnered with public works to clear homeless encampments across the city. since mayor london breed took office, tents dropped from 568 to 380. the number of homeless tents is down but the amount of homeless people is actually up. so is the city really making progress? >> well, i would say that getting almost 1,500 people who were on the streets off the streets is real progress. trying to address what we know is the biggest challenge our city faces and that is homelessness. >> the city says each week it takes about 50 more people out of homelessness and into housing. but at the same time another 150 people wind up homeless in san francisco. over the past two years the homeless population has increased to more than 8,000. that's a 17% spike.
11:14 pm
santa clara, contra costa, and alameda counties are experiencing even larger increases. but homeless advocates say san francisco is still spending too much time and resources shifting people from one block to the next. >> it's like the sidewalk shuffle because they're not actually being given a real alternative. >> reporter: telly cutler is with the coalition on homelessness. so in your view fewer homeless tents isn't translating to fewer homeless people, it just means homeless people sleeping outside are now often having to do it without tents. >> yeah. that's all it means. we have a housing and a health crisis. and this city is often responding with law enforcement. they're going through, often taking people's belongings, giving people citations. >> reporter: vanessa teo just got this ticket after police found her on the sidewalk with a tent. it's a misdemeanor that could result in a $1,000 fine and possible jail time. >> reporter: how many of these
11:15 pm
tickets have you received? >> maybe 20. >> 20? >> yes. >> reporter: that's just over the past year and a half. on any given night there are more than 1,000 people on the wait list for shelters. will that change? >> my goal is to change that. since i've been in office, we've had almost 400 new shelter beds. i'm pledging to make sure that we have 1,000 by 2020. >> reporter: the mayor is proposing to spend more than $364 million next year on the city's homeless crisis. that's 80 million more than this year. her plan is to expand housing grants to help keep families from becoming homeless. add shelter nurses and social workers along with 820 permanent housing units for the homeless. another 4 million would go towards the city's efforts to clear away homeless encampments. but it's unclear just how many homeless get housed after they're forced to give up their tents and ordered to move someplace else. >> they're still homeless. just because they don't have a tent. >> reporter: matthew zimmerman and his fiance andrea boomer
11:16 pm
frame art and photos for a living. but say the view outside their san francisco shop isn't so picture perfect. >> i actually just checked my revenue in the past from last year to this year and i'm down 25%. the last couple years things have gotten worse as far as the amount of people that are on the streets. and the amount of open drug use. >> thank you. >> reporter: while campaigning breed said as mayor she'd work to have san francisco open the nation's first supervised injection site where people can openly use drugs under the care of medical supervision. last year we traveled to canada to show you how the centers in vancouver have actually worked to rehab drug users. but when california lawmakers struggled ton san francisco, br vowed to move ahead anyway even though the sites would violate federal law. >> you had said that san francisco doesn't need to wait on the states to open a supervised injection site, but the city still doesn't have one. what happened to your plan? >> well, if it were just me and
11:17 pm
i was only putting myself at risk, it would be one thing, but it does potentially put unfortunately non-profit and city workers at risk of being imprisoned. and we need support from the state. >> reporter: san francisco's dirty streets have also been a focus for the mayor. the city now has a dedicated four-person team to clean feces five days a week. a separate crew picks up used syringes 12 hours each day. when will people be able to see real change? >> well, there has been change. the fact is the number of calls are down for needles, for feces, for trash pickup all over the city. if you look at the data from the 311 calls you'll see they're down. >> reporter: complaints over needles and feces have declined in the last six months, compared to the mayor's first six months in office. but complaints to the city over trash have actually increased slightly. the mayor's budget plan for the
11:18 pm
next two years includes an extra $3 million for street cleaning. san francisco already outspends many other larger cities including los angeles and chicago. and the mayor is expected to sign the city's new $12 billion budget into law by next month. >> if you have a story for our investigative unit you can call 888-996-tips or website, nbcbayarea.com/investigations, to reach out to bigad. let's bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. it looked like winter this morning. >> i think we'll have some fog as you move through tomor morning. it doesn't look quite as thick as what we've been dealing with most recently. but as you get closer to the bay, closer to the coastline, i do expect some low clouds to begin. the real headline, though, is all about this warmer air that's starting to build in with this area of high pressure. so we'll get temperatures to heat up tomorrow. the good news, i do not see any
