achieve. >> reporter: the trump team is certainly in a rush to start filling some of these positions. and some of these posts, especially cabinet secretaries, require senate confirmation. that takes time to prepare for. doug luzader fox news. >> thank you, doug. in one treat, president- elect donald trump says if the election were based on total popular vote, i would have campaigned in california, new york and won bigger and more easily. while donald trump won the electoral vote, hillary clinton won the popular vote. the lek oral college is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones into play, says trump. back in 2012, when president obama was reelected, donald trump called the electoral college a disaster.

if you drive in san francisco. expect big changes tonight to one of the most congested roads in san francisco. ktvu's allie rasmus is on van ness avenue. a traffic nightmare is developing. what is it like out there right now? >> reporter: it is perfectly type right now. traffic is moving smoothly on both directions. right now you can tell there are three lanes of traffic in each direction on van ness. that will change starting tonight. there will be just two lanes of traffic so the city can create its rapid bus project. here is an animation of what it will look like when it is finished. the center lanes will be for muni buses. the idea is to speed up the flow of buses on the thoroughfare so they arrive every four to five minutes. when we told drivers about the changes going into effect tonight, the question was how do i get around it?
7:10 am
>> franklin, oak street. >> you're going to find ways to get around it. >> trying to of course. >> i don't know what people are going to do. how are they going to get -- i think franklin is going to be crazy. right? >> that's going to add another 15 minutes to my commute probably every day. >> reporter: now, some of the work on the project started last week actually when crews started shutting down all of the left turn names on van ness. no left turns allowed in either direction on this roadway going forward. as you heard the people say in the interview, franklin seems to be the major thoroughfare that people will take to get around van ness. 24 hours from now, expect congestion on the side streets as well. >> allie rasmus in san francisco, thank you. shell casings scattered after a gun battle in a fremont neighborhood. >> another one on the concrete and one up by the gate. why it revolves around one

7:14 am
the people inside the home fired back. a car window was shattered by a bull set and a trail of blood on the sidewalk. an hour later a man with a bullet wound showed up at san leandro hospital. >> it's almost akin to having gold at your house. if you have gold at your house and you tell people you have gold at your house and that gets into the ears of the wrong people, they may come and try to take your gold. >> fremont police say a sophisticated marijuana grow operation was found in the home. the man that was shot was renting the home. he was growing the marijuana. the two people who tried to break into the home and the other people who lived at the home escaped. the time is 7:14. after a long debate, the oakland city council agreed to consider changes to how it permits the sale of marijuana. businesses would no longer have to turn over 25% of the profits

to city but they would be required to pay back taxes and fines of $10,000 for operating without a license. the city council also agreed to set aside half of the permits to people convicted of marijuana crimes or live in an area with a high number of marijuana arrests. supporters say the new rules would create new opportunities for those whose lives have been impacted by drugs. >> helping people who are victims of the war on drugs get clearance to get job. helping hard hit neighborhoods with issues like jobs. a vote on the changes is not expected until january. it would only apply to medical marijuana but may serve as a template for the recreational sale of marijuana that becomes legal in 2018. if you're traveling during the thanksgiving holiday, you will have plenty of company.
7:16 am
a million more people expected to travel than last year. the eighth straight year that thanksgiving travel has gone up. researchers say it is because of a boost in consumer confidence. the heavy travel period starts next wednesday and continues through sunday. 80% of people will be driving for thanksgiving. others will fly, take the bus or head off on a cruise. the time is 7:16. the early morning commute was problematic but it looks like it has smoothed out a bit. >> yeah. not a lot of major lane closures. we will start with the east bay and highway 4. a lot of slow traffic through bay point and getting into -- pittsburgh and bay front and getting into concord. from 680 on 680 from about 242, down to walnut creek and stretching a little bit into alamo, we have a lot of slow traffic there as well. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. the traffic is backed up. it is recovering a little bit. earlier we had a stalled
7:17 am
vehicle, much earlier on the bridge. those tend to linger, those backups tend to linger throughout the whole morning. the silicon valley commute, 280, 101 all slow this morning. if you're starting off in the west valley, in sunnyvale and cupertino, it doesn't look bad. remember everybody is heading your way. slow traffic from earlier problems in the santa cruz mountains. at 7:17 let's go to steve. >> sal, big changes today in the form of a big fog bank that is getting pushed along by a weak front that is producing rain up to ukiah. it is reaching closer. good morning, steve. and morning. a good 50 degrees and overcast in sonoma. now, yesterday a lot of it was right down -- it was right down here. today it lifted a little bit. better visibility. some airports report half a mile of visibility.
7:18 am
our system is holding together. let's give it credit. it is slowing down a little by. it will drape across the north bay. end result for most will be cooler under cloudy to mostly cloudy conditions. santa rosa down to 64 after yesterday's 73. same for san francisco. 64. 68 yesterday. and san jose from 70 to 64 as well. san francisco's 64 is close to average. that 59 low this morning is way above. it should be 50. '80, 2010 the record highs and lows. the system is holding together. very weak. it will make it to the sonoma county and lake county as well. getting light rain up in mendocino county. it is a sign of things to come later aafternoon and into tonight -- later this afternoon and into tonight. this is the strongest delta breeze that we have seen in weeks. it has been light out of the east or north since the beginning of the month just
7:19 am
about. that's a huge change. an on shore breeze. here is your front direction. southeast, south, southeast. these are all different patterns that we have seen from the east and north for the last two weeks. upper 50s, hayward. san jose, oakland. some locations are running 2 to 10 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. a couple of 40s holding on. not much. a lot more 50s than we have seen. hillsberg 52. 55 in tahoe because of the south breeze in advance of that. very mild. the cool air is up here though. that spills in tomorrow. you will notice it. but tonight it will be cloudy skies and light rain will make it. even by the evening commute. some of that could be in the form of drizzle over by the coast. overall, mostly cloudy and cooler pattern as temperatures slide into the 60s for most locations. an isolated 70 or so. but i think everybody in the
7:20 am
low to mid-60s. even cooler yesterday after the system slides by in the morning. low 60 ands chilly thursday morning. there will be 30s in wind protected areas. then rain begins in the north on saturday and i think everybody on sunday. >> remember how warm it was over the weekend? i discovered that the ac in my car was broken. but i'm not going to need it. >> you can wait until probably may. >> thank you, steve. let's keep sharing gorgeous pictures. if you do not like to wake up early or stay out late, take a look at your television. stunning photos from our viewers of the super moon last night. >> i like that. that's where the windmills are. beautiful juxtaposition there. >> now, this one with the plane flying through the center of this picture. pam likened this to the et shot where he is on the handlebars of the bike. we so appreciate your sharing

7:25 am
homemaking 2200 blue bows by hand for the schools, trees and lamp posts in houston. >> it's not just a guy wearing a badge who is a jerk writing you a ticket. but it's a guy that people actually really love. and we really loved dennis. and our hearts are going to break for a really, really long time. >> the volunteers say they have cleaned out most of the stores in the county, buying up blue ribbon. plus blue ribbon donations have come in from san joaquin county and the bay area. san francisco supervisors will debate new limits for short term rentals. this comes one day after airbnb decided to crack down on illegal hosts. it is willing to give the city information about its clients as part of a mandatory registration system and promises to obey san francisco rules, limiting the number of days that a landlord on airbnb
7:26 am
can rent out a home. they are consider shortening the term to 60 days each year. people magazine has named its sexiest man alive. this year the honor goes to duane the rock johnson. the magazine says the actor is sweet, smart and sculpted. in friday, forbes named him the highest paid actor bringing in $64.5 million between june of 2015 and 2016. past holders have included david beckham. chris hemsworth the year before that. this happened shortly after midnight. what that means for the holidays. plus -- tempted to move away of california because of the high cost of housing? many are pulling the trigger. we will tell you about a new report out and tell you where all of the people are going. good morning.

7:28 am
7:30 am
live pictures of a protest happening now in san francisco in opposition of a controversial pipeline project that would pass through a native-americans reservation in north dakota. at least a few hundred people have gathered. this is one of some 200 rallies happening across the country. we are sending allie rasmus and we will bring her in more reporting o not what is happen -- reporting on what is happening in the san francisco. we will have the mayor- elect of berkeley in the study. the youngest mayor and first latino mayor of berkeley. >> you will talk to him. >> i'm excited to talk to him. >> my mic is on. let's get to it. a lot of low clouds in place. some sun breaks in there. but morning sun. and then turning mostly cloudy. there will be a mix of sun and clouds here. the breeze has picked up and you will notice cooler temperatures out of the 70s
7:31 am
back into the 60s. the front is still holding together. it has produced rain on the north coast. temperatures down from the upper 60 and mid to low 70s. tomorrow will be even cooler than that. san francisco, 64. 59 on the low. way above. 50 is where they should be. light rain in mendocino county. not a lot here. what is more important is what is back here. that has to slide by. it won't be until this evening. i would think light rain might make it down overnight into tomorrow morning. just beginning to move towards lake county. the breeze is the bigger factor. picked up big time. that stirs up a lot of the low cloud deck and fog. look for temperatures in the 50s to start off. 60s on the high side. 7:31. sal, what do you have, sir? >> a lot of slow traffic. a lot not caused by accidents. just a lot of people trying to get to the same place at the
7:32 am
same time. bay bridge, traffic will be busy as you drive in the area here trying to get on to san francisco. and it's going to continue to be slow all the way throughout. you see slow traffic as you drive on to the san mateo bridge as well. we promised you a look at 680 through concord. concord to walnut creek and down into the san ramon area. if we switch to the maps, 680 is slow from concord to walnut creek and down to alamo. 24 is also slow. and 80 slow from hercules to the macarthur maze. it seems slightly better today, just slightly, than yesterday getting into the south bay. 7:32. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. more and more people are moving out of california. ktvu's janine de la vega you're in san jose. this new report says the high cost of housing has a lot to do with that. good morning. >> doug: good morning, day. a lot of people we have been speaking to have not surprised by the findings of the new
7:33 am
report. to give you an example of the high price of housing, in the cambria neighborhood, i looked on realtor.com. a 3-bedroom house, 1500 square feet is selling for about a million dollars. the real estate data firm core logic found that for every person who is moving into california, there are three californians who are moving out of the state. and the sellers are moving completely out of california. beacon economics found that between 2007 to 2014, 625,000 people left california. many of them moved to texas, or o nevada and arizona. they're fed up with the high housing costs and turns to states where it's more affordable. >> it doesn't surprise me. it really hurts my heart. and i don't know what the solution is. >> i have a roommate. we are a family of four with a fifth person living in our house so we can remain in the area that we love because i
7:34 am
have seen people move out of the area. and then become unhappy because of the weather or maybe they're moving somewhere where there is real snow. i'm from california. you know, it's hard. >> reporter: the economic boom and job market here in california is still attracting people here but pushing others out. recent data from core logics shows that housing has cooled but there is still a high demand. more and more cities building vertical in the highrises in urban areas, just to fit everybody in. >> thank you, janine de la vega, in san jose. president obama is in athens, greece. president obama had a meeting with the prime minister of greece earlier this morning. the two held a news conference as well. during the news conference he was asked by a reporter if he underestimated the anger of the american people that resulted in the election of donald
7:35 am
trump. >> when you see a donald trump and a bernie sanders very unconventional candidates have considerable success, then obviously there is something there that is being tapped into. a suspicion of globalization. a desire to reign in its accesses. >> president obama is working to reassure foreign leaders that the u.s. will not abandon its partnership and alliance obligations despite donald trump's rhetoric in the campaign. a new fbi report shows a big spike in hate crimes against muslims in the country. the crimes jumped 67% last year from the levels in 2014. the biggest spikes since 2001, after the september 11th attacks. the law center blames donald trump's ban on muslims coming
7:36 am
into the u.s. on the increase. it went up 7% last year. in san francisco, a wall of empathy expressing thoughts about the election will stay up through today. organizers set up a message board near the bart station yesterday morning at 16th street. people passing by wrote messages on post-it notes and sent up memory walls near the bart stations. >> if you read them, they are so beautiful. and they're so heart warming. >> we haven't had to take any posts down here because people are kind in person. when you look somebody in the eye, it is hard to say hateful things. >> there are more than a thousand messages on the board. some people wrote poems and drew pictures, expressing empathy. they are looking for an organization that will take the messages and put them on a permanent display. now there's a reward being offered for information leading to the man who fire shots at two san jose police officers
7:37 am
sunday night. the police officers association offering $10,000 to anyone who helps them find and arrest that shooter. the two officers say they were walking the streets of that neighborhood when they saw several men. and as they approached, the men left. but one man turned around and fired several shots at the officers. no one was hit. the police did not fire back. the gunman could face two charges of attempted murder. people hoping to have cab on the thanksgiving table this year might be in luck. we will share video from fisherman's wharf taken this morning. many of the crab boats left at midnight and many are excited for their return. the crab season didn't start until march last year because of warm ocean waters that created an algae bloom. thank goodness it is a different story this year. >> after last year's hardships, it is so wonderful that these gals and guys can get out on time. the crab are clean and beautiful. i can't wait to see our boat
7:38 am
this afternoon. >> there is still some acid showing up in crab samples taken along the northern coast. waters from point reyes north are off limits. a fundraising page is set up to save the grave stone of benjamin franklin. his grave is in philadelphia. it recently developed a big crack partly because with of tourists tossing pennies on it. the tradition came about because of his saving a penny saved is a penny earned. a preservation trust was given money to mix the marble but it is $10,000 short so a gofundme has been set up for the repairs. the san francisco choir is changing up the tour. in 20 minutes, why it has to do with the election of donald trump. less, he will be the young left and latino than in his position. up next, gasia will talk live
7:39 am
with berkeley's mayor-elect about the future of his city. good morning. we see slow traffic in many areas. this is 280. we have a better weather morning. i think that is making the commute slightly better. steve and i -- steve paulson will expand on that coming up. over 1,000,000 californians have gotten something that's been out of reach for far too long: health insurance. how? they enrolled through covered california. it's the health insurance marketplace where you'll find a range of plans from leading health insurance companies that offer you the best combination of quality, rates, and benefits.
7:40 am
7:41 am
>> next month the city of berkeley will be under new leadership. the youngest and first latino mayor. joining us this morning in the studio we welcome berkeley's mayor-elect. thank you for being here this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> you grew up in san francisco partly. now you're in berkeley. everyone is amazed at the fact that you are 32 years old.
7:42 am
but you actually involved in politics much earlier than this. >> yes. nine years old. >> tell me about that. >> at a young age i was concerned about what is happening in the world and developed a social consciousness. at the age of nine years old i was involved in the effort to name a street after my hero, cesar chavez. it has been a life-long effort ever since. >> there have been big changes proposed. you are against highrise buildings. we had a report that said for every one person who comes to california, three people are moving out and the high cost of housing is a reason for that. what about the people who want to live in berkeley but can't afford to. >> it's what i heard from voters. we want to increase density and add more housing but we want to make sure we're get being housing for people who live in berkeley and grew up in berkeley and we have how'sing
7:43 am
that is afford -- housing that is affordable. our teachers, libr. >> dan: rians should be able to live in the city. >> some people say walking out doesn't do anything. you moo need to do something like when you were nine. >> i support that. not only the high school students but college students who are marching in streets in oakland that, we channel that energy, that anger that, concern into something that will change the direction of this country. and i know there's a lot of disenchantment, a lot of concern. and we need to take action so that four years from now we're not in this situation again. >> you got the endorsement of bernie sanders during your campaign. what do you say to people in berkeley who come up to you on the street and say i'm worried. >> i say we need to have hope. after the election, i've had a lot of people who have come up
7:44 am
to me and said your election and the changes in berkeley give us hope that berkeley will continue to lead the way and that we can -- berkeley can provide leadership in changing the direction of the country. berkeley is an international leader. we're not going to get that leadership out of washington. >> your city is several in the bay area without a police chief. how is that search and what do you hope the next police chief will have. >> we have an active chief. we're in search of a new chief. he needs to have the trust of the community. we need to make sure that we have good moral in the department. our police are facing a lot of pressure. we need to make sure that we respect our police and at the same time that we make sure that policing is done with our community's values. >> inside or outside the department? >> right now our acting chief has rose up through the ranks. he is actually a berkeley native.
7:45 am
he has been doing a good job. i think it is preferable that we have a chief inside the department who knows the department, who has worked in the community. i think that provides an important perspective. >> what do you say to the people out there who are unsatisfied with the result of the election that we just had, but i don't know what i can do? i can talk about it, talk to my friends, write on these empathy walls. in terms of concrete action, young people who are not in office can take, what should they do. >> get involved. get politically active. the way that we change government is through political action. i think there are ways that young people can get involved in local government. there are ways that young people can influence elections. i think this is our future. i think it is important that young people get involved and take action. >> and i know there were a number of voter registrations on the berkeley campus. >> there were. i was stunned which the number of young people who voted in the election. it is inspiring. i think that was definitely a
7:46 am
factor in my election to the mayor-ship. >> berkeley an active city and will continue to be. thanks for joining us and congratulations. >> thank you, gasia. >> thank you, mayor. the time is 7:46. let's go to sal. i know you love all things berkeley as well because you went to school there. but you're watching our commute this morning. >> i'm watching berkeley. part of the commute is getting through berkeley, getting to the macarthur maze. here we are more than an hour to drive through. this is because of a bigger than usual bay bridge backup that started with a stalled vehicle a long time ago. it was there for a while. you can see this backup is stretching around the corner. that's why we always show you the bay bridge. do you ever wonder, why are we always showing the bay bridge? if the bay bridge is slow, every other commute in the east bay is affected by this. just a chain reaction. i've been here for too long not to know that anything that happens on the bridge will
7:47 am
affect the entire east bay commute. sometimes as far away as marin county. let's take a look at the east bay commute for people trying to get around it by using the san mateo bridge. it will be slow right from 238. and some people will make the turn here. but if you're driving the other way, heading south, down to fremont, you will see slow traffic there as well. and as we move over to the east shore, i wanted to show you on the road map here how slow it is. it is also very slow on the richmond bridge trying to get over to that area. again, we have a lot of people on the road. not particularly a lot of crashes. but definitely a lot of slow traffic. today's weather is not as foggy though. let's bring steve in. >> thank goodness, sal. >> yes. >> yesterday was tough. we have a little low clouds and fog but there is enough of a breeze stirring things up. a few breaks in the clouds.
7:48 am
it looks out towards concord and pleasant hill and where you are as well that. is a big increase in the low cloud deck. chloe, 53 and cloudy up in clearlake. cooler today. 58 to 60. i have a good authority from doug that there is drizzle in kelseyville. you have done well with that picture. we like that one. our system is hanging on here. it is slowing down a little bit but it has brought light rain drizzle mendocino county and lake county. i think it will make it to sonoma county and marin county and napa later. but it is more overnight and into tomorrow. the key with the system, it will start a pronounced cooling trend. all week long, for the beginning of the month it has been east and east. now it is southeast. more of an on shore breeze. the delta breeze that i usually don't show this time of year because it is nonexistent has ramped up to 22 miles per hour.
7:49 am
even vacaville. so the delta breeze is in full force. that will usher in a different pattern here. upper 50s for some. sfo is in there, fremont. 56 fairfield. everybody is pretty close here. menlo park 52. stanford is in there. usually there's a difference but not in this pattern. pacifica at 56 degrees. more of an on shore breeze. mild system for tomorrow. then snow levels will drop. there might be some up towards shasta. light rain in redding and ukiah. the rainfall is not much. the focus then goes on the weekend. there are many signs that a very wet pattern could establish itself. look what happens by sunday. this is the one forecast model that we have been banking on. it is called the gfs. it is very wet.
7:50 am
we will see if it continues to hold. the other forecast models that are drier are now leaning that direction. rain to the north. it will eventually make it later this afternoon and tonight. it's a weak system but give us a cooler pattern. 60s on the temperatures and it cools down in the santa clara valley as the 70sand 80s are gone. cooler and breezy on wednesday. thursday morning will be quite cold. sunny and nice friday. and then it looks like rain north on saturday and everybody on sunday. >> here it comes. thank you, steve. >> you're welcome. paying more to go to college. the new rate hike that may be coming to the uc and cal state campuses. plus, if you want extra cash for the holidays, you're in luck. the long list of retailers who want to hire people for the holidays.

8:02 am
takes to drive the carquinez bridge to the macarthur bridge. without a lot of traffic, it takes 20 minutes to do this drive. right now it is taking an hour and a half. when you get to the bay bridge, you have to wait another 25 minutes to do that. the drive from vallejo, if you were to get in your car and drive from vallejo to san francisco, it could take you almost two hours to get there. that's just ridiculous really. i cannot fathom. but that's what a lot of people have to do. here is a look at 880 from hayward to fremont. slow traffic. and slow traffic on the san mateo and dunbarton bridge. the traffic will be busy. 280 is a desent alternate to one -- decent alternate to the 101 this morning. 8:02. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. happening right now, a protest underway in san

8:04 am
right now people are hearing from several speakers, addressing the demonstrators before they will start walking a short distance away, a couple blocks away from where at civic center plaza. i have one of the demonstrators from oakland. your name is phoenix. why did you feel it was important to be here this morning. this is a pipeline many miles from here. why is it pertinent to us in the bay area. >> the water is life. we need the rivers and the lakes and the oceans to provide the water to nourish us so we can drink it. our children need the water. our families need the water. our communities need the water. >> that is part of the issue here with the tribe that is protesting the construction of this pipeline. they are concerned, the native- americans tribe, is concerned that the final phase of construction is supposed to happen on tribal lands that
8:05 am
cross the river into the a reservoir there. they are afraid that could contaminate the water supply for the tribes out there. we are out in front of san francisco city hall. a lot of the signs make reference to the water issues and water safety. that's why they will be walking to the army corps of engineers. they are in charge of the final construction of the pipeline going through. demonstrators hope that by being out there, they can put pressure by that agency and the obama administration to not provide the permit to construct the pipeline over the water ways. >> thank you, allie rasmus. president obama is in athens, greece. the first stop of his last international trip as president. the president had a meeting with the prime minister of greece earlier this morning. the two men just wrapped up a news conference. president obama was asked by a reporter if he feels responsible for the election of donald trump as the next president of the united states?

8:08 am
ingraham. >> i think people are getting far ahead of the narrative. >> reporter: maybe. but president obama wouldn't bite yesterday when asked about recent trump appointments. >> i think it will be important for him to -- for him to have the room, to staff up, to figure out what his priorities are, to be able to distinguish between what he was campaigning on and what is practical, what he can actually achieve. >> reporter: the trump team is certainly in a rush to start filling some of these positions. and some of these posts, especially cabinet secretaries, require senate confirmation. and that takes some time to prepare for. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. new this morning, speaker of the house paul ryan and several other leaders of the republican finished a news conference in washington d.c. he discussed the results of the election and how the republican party will operate going forward. >> we are on the same page with our president-elect. i talk with donald trump virtually every day. i spoke with mike pence this
