peaceful protest. they are from the group, homes not jails. they say san francisco has twice as many abandoned buildings as homeless people and they demand the city make vacant and abandoned buildings transitional housing for the homeless. some members of the group have been arrested dozens of times for squatting in vacant buildings and they say they won't leave until police force them out today. >> this building doesn't belong to us specifically but i think the people of san francisco should be concerned that house something unaffordable and yet there are 36,000 empty units of housing in the city that are being wasted while people sleep on the streets simply because they can't afford them so we think there needs to be a policy change. >> reporter: police have been waiting to hear from the landlords before taking action. the building is owned by kaiser permanente. they say the building is empty, not fit for occupancy, and the

demonstrators are trespassing and need to be removed. we'll monitor the situation. back to you. >> thank you, sharon chin. a solano county judge is out on bail this morning after his wife had him arrested. superior court judge robert bowers facing a felony domestic violence charge. vallejo police say bowers' wife suffered a minor injury in an incident at their home on sunday night. bowers was the judge in the case involving the murder of a fairfield city councilman matt garcia. and this morning the jury in the perjury trial of barry bonds will continue to deliberate. the former baseball slugger is accused of lying when he told a grand jury he never knowingly took steroids and never received an injection from his trainer. yesterday jurors listened for more than an hour as the clerk read back testimony from bonds' personal shopper kathy hoskins. she said she saw trainer greg anderson inject bonds in the

injury crash in pleasanton. southbound 680 before bernal. sounds like two lanes are blocked. this is an overturned pickup truck so two lanes are blocked including the far left lane. chp and an ambulance are on the way. this hand around 5:30 so we are not seeing huge delay to traffic yet but again it's just south of the dublin interchange. questions bound 580 usual slowing there. that injury crash in pleasanton is the only thing going on in the chp reports. the rest of the bay area just usual slow traffic there. a little sluggish on 4 but at the bay bridge toll plaza, traffic still looks great. no metering lights. and no delay right now heading into san francisco. more traffic coming up. back to you. the price of gas nearing an all-time high all across the country and nowhere is it higher than right here in california. an eyewitness news poll we asked our bay area drivers, are you feeling the squeeze? kiet do in santa clara now with the answer to that question.

kiet, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're live here at the valero gas station at the corner of washington and newhall in santa clara with the dubious distinction of having the highest gas prices in the south bay at $4.39 a gallon for regular unleaded. and that's if pay cash. experts say we are nearing record gas prices. in fact, if you compare the gas prices to a year ago, all across the bay area, according to triple-a, it now costs $1 more per gallon than 12 months ago. so the past five months have seen a steady decline in gas steals. triple-a says there is continued political unrest in oil producing countries and refineries are in the process of switching to their pricier summer blends. >> as prices creep up, people start to look for alternatives, whether it's mass transit, carpooling, biking to work, not just what's happening here in the united states but globally because oil is traded on a

global scale. >> reporter: and our new eyewitness news poll shows bay area drivers are changing their habits. nearly 70% say they have cut down the amount they drive. 44% tell surveyusa that higher prices at the pump have caused them to change or cancel their summer vacation plans. and half of drivers polled said that the cost of gas has them thinking seriously about buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle. now, the price of gas nationwide is creeping up to about $4 .11 a gallon and as you know, as the national price of gas certainly is a lot lower than it is here in california, so the high their goes, which means we'll probably creep up to $5 a gallon sometime by the summer. frank? >> you're close there. the supreme there is just 10 cents and a tenth away. pretty close. >> reporter: yeah. 4.89 if you are buying premium out here. >> wow. >> reporter: if you shop around and you pay cash, you don't have to pay $5 a gallon. >> you always wonder about the nine-tenths. where did that come from?

why don't they just bump it up to 490? >> thank you, at this time. state lawmakers want to get tough on drives who don't pay bridge tolls. so far this year people without fastrak accounts have rolled through electronic billions 1.5 million times, $14 million in unpaid tolls and fines. now lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow officers to seize a car if that driver owes $2,000 or more in tolls. a first offense comes with a $25 fine and that will be waived if you sign up for fastrak within 30 days. there is a new way for customers to pay to ride the golden gate ferry. today's the soft launch for a dozen ticket vending machines. there will be six at the san francisco ferry terminal, four at the larkspur terminal two at the sausalito ferly landing. it is expected to save more than $6 million over the next 10 years. thinking about a new cell

a nice day on tap in the bay area although chilly, 30s in some inland spots. fog throughout the bay area as well, although it will burn off later on this afternoon. the rest of our temperatures right now sitting in the 40s. by the time we hit this afternoon we'll see some of that sunshine, mostly sunny skies, breezy conditions along the bay shores and at the coast and that's where we may see some of that lingering fog into the afternoon. elsewhere a nice day. the reason for that is we are

between two systems right now not too much cloud cover as you can see. we have seen that one system push east, the second system over the pacific and that won't be in our forecast until tomorrow. we can see what's going on, on slight. offshore we have the slight chance of showers coming to the bay area. best chance for showers to be in the north bay but not a major event. maybe a few sprinkles. here's the highs for today neighborhood by tabbed. going to be sitting in the 60s today similar to yesterday. over in the east bay cooler at the bayshore. 63 at berkeley. warmer as we make our way inland. 64 dublin and livermore. 61 san anselmo, 63 benicia. here's a look at your extended forecast. those mostly sunny skies today,

then slight chance of rain tomorrow. then thursday the sun will come back out and you will see as we make our way friday, saturday, sunday, bumping up in temperature, even mid-70s and sunshine, as well. let's go ahead over to elizabeth with a check on traffic. >> all right. we are going to head back out to pleasanton where we are seeing some delays now on southbound 680. we are talking about this accident. injury crash actually. southbound 680 past the stoneridge drive exit involving an overturned pickup truck. that's been cleared to the shoulder. another car in the center divide. and we actually took a call from bruce with the kcbs phone force. he tells us the traffic is beginning to stack up in that area even though everything is now cleared out of lanes. speeds about 23 miles an hour past the dublin interchange. that's the slow spot. otherwise the usual congestion here out of the altamont pass. drive time not too bad, though. still hovering around 15 minutes to go between 205 and 680 in the dublin interchange.

and to the east bay, westbound traffic coming down the eastshore freeway. that looks great right now through berkeley. here's live look through ashby avenue. an 18-minute drive time from the carquinez bridge to the maze. and south bay has been problem- free this morning. 101 looks great coming up from morgan hill and one more live look at that 280 traffic heading out of downtown san jose. looks great. mass transit if you want to use it everything is on time. we just checked in with bart, systemwide everything is reporting no delay. ace train number one off to a great start. muni and caltrain no delays. if anything chains, remember kcbs, our radio partners, at 740-am and 106.9-fm. if anything changes. back to you. >> thank you. let's check today's top stories. this morning, japan's prime minister urging the public not to panic after the government raised the crisis level at its damaged nuclear power plant to the highest possible level. a level 7 is equal to the 1986
