it out. i don't know if you can tell, i got a little dizzy doing it. >> i'm a pilot, commercial pilot, but i still got dizzy too. i have never pulled anything like that before. let's take it to disguise again. taking a live look outside at the salesforce tower cam, it's a pretty gloomy day. probably cloudy skies in the forecast, and it's a lot more gloomy for our friends up in the north bay where i was flying. nor the san pablo bay, we will be dealing with scattered showers all night long, even up to santa rosa. be careful if you are heading out on the roads at any point. if you see a heavy cloud pushing your way with a lot of rain, take it slower. it's going to be a drizzly day. more clear conditions in the south bay, but the cold front returns as we head into the evening hours tonight and into tomorrow morning even . right behind that is cold, dense air that's going to fill us in the bay all throughout tomorrow, so daytime highs are going to be significantly cooler for us. let's take a look at the rainfall totals just with that overnight system. almost 2 inches of rain in sonoma. take a look at redwood city. we're also competing with the highest numbers right there expected

for us tomorrow morning. with that in mind, it's going to be a very heavy system . we ha onitsome time, and they armactup in the vecle ght w. as you take a look at the next seven days, it is 50s and 60s. we'll keep you updated on that in the weather center, but for now, over to you, jocelyn. >> keep in mind to be extra careful on the roadways. let's take a look at how traffic is looking for our east bay commuters. it's looking better for you. it is now a 45 minute drive on westbound 4 going to highway 162 to 180. things are looking better. it is a 14 minute drive going northbound 880 to 238 over to the maze let's give you a look

at how things are looking at the 10 matteo bridge . seeing a lot more clouds out there right now, but not as many brake lights out on the road. it is now a 14 minute drive from 882 highway 101. let's give you a quick check in our mass transit -- excuse me, this is going into the bay bridge . you can see the backup. it will give you a look at how transit is looking right now. there are delays we have been talking about on heart this morning, especially on the translated bay during the retrofit work. that is because of equipment problems on the track at powell station. keep that in mind if you are taking b.a.r.t. the issue of housing figures prominently in this year's ballot. voters are increasingly being asked to make the decision as faith in elected officials have waned. john ramos explained. >> reporter: san francisco zoo housing shortage is bad and feel like it's getting worse, but now having activists have lost their patients and are taking their proposals directly to the voters. jake pryce spent his sunday going door to door in the sunset district in a last-minute

effort to get out the vote for san francisco proposition d . over on great highway, other activists were also pushing the same measure. >> it says that if the project is following all the rules, it gets automatically approved. take the board of supervisors out of the process. >> reporter: supporters of a competing initiative, proposition e, say theirs is what's needed to address the bureaucratic process that there is more in the way of affordable housing. >> this would bypass that, streamline it, and make it much more efficient and lead to more affordable housing production faster. >> reporter: meanwhile, another housing measure is proposition m, which would impose a tax on investment housing units base hit and occupied for more than 182 days. >> they're not interested in being landlords and living there. they are interested just in appreciation of the value

and leaving it empty. >> reporter: similar measure is on the ballot in berkeley as well , so what's going on here? why is so much housing policy being put up for a vote to the people? kevin zwick with united way bay area thinks he knows. >> i think there's a lot of frustration in a lot of places when it comes to the situation around affordable housing in the bay area. when people get frustrated and they are not seeing legislation passed by the state or by local city councils , then people go to the ballot, and i think that's a good sign. >> reporter: it's probably not surprising, whatever has been done so far has not brought prices down, and residents have lost confidence government has the ability to create the volume of housing needed , so they are engaging in a little bit of vigilante policymaking. >> citizens are banding together and saying , like, our elected officials have failed us, and they are grabbing the reins. we are going to solve this problem through direct advocacy. what will happen is that as these measures are more

and more popular and are successful, the elected officials will follow behind , but citizens are going to be leading on addressing our affordability and displacement crisis. >> reporter: legislating through the ballot box can create its own set of problems, but for better or worse, california gives citizens the power to take government into their own hands when they get mad enough , and few things are more maddening than trying to find a place to live in the bay area. in san francisco, john ramos, kpix 5. >> in san francisco, propositions prop d and prop m qualified through a signature gathering process . prop e was voted onto the ballot by the board of supervisors. let's talk about a big race in the east bay you are taking a look at. >> when it comes to the selection, people are thinking about crime, so two candidates are campaigning for alameda county da, both with different angles when it comes to addressing crime. we're introducing you to both candidates, but we're also introducing you to a bay area resident who says more needs to
