It is one 49 California spending billions of dollars to fight homelessness, but one state senator questions just how effective those efforts have really been and to get some answers. He's launching an audit. Here's CBS's Keith and Coney. Despite the state's efforts, the homeless population continues to rise, including in San Jose, and so state senator Dave cortesi, who represents the city, is now helping to lead an audit that aims to find out how much of a difference all those state dollars are really making in San Jose and elsewhere. We're a couple of years into the state funding now. It's a lot of money. Before we continue to invest like that, let's see how it's working and let's see where we need to make corrections. That's really the idea. In a statement to kcbs, San Jose's mayor, Matt mahan, says that he's all for auditing the city's work, adding though, that he wants to see the audit include the state and counties as well. Meantime, homeless advocates are applying the audit. Here's longtime San Jose advocate Gail osmer. This issue is bigger than any of us. It is about ensuring transparency in our policy and funding solutions. In the south bay, Keith manconi, an effort is working through the legislature to open more opportunity housing. David Welsh reports a small modular units are intended to address the state's growing housing shortage. Several cities in California have turned to opportunity housing units as one possible solution in solving their regional housing crisis. Versions of the small modular units have popped up in cities like San Francisco and Santa Barbara as a way of providing some relief. Now, state senator Josh Becker wants California to put its weight behind the cause. This is the most hopeful optimistic solution I've seen to solve homelessness with the speed and scale. If the state is a whole hopes to reduce homelessness, the entire state needs to build more housing. But housing projects face huge barriers like land costs, long construction timelines and skyrocketing building prices. Becker says modular units, which are inexpensive to build, serve as a bridge. That may have another use in say three or 5 years, but we can build these units now to get people off the streets now. And we can relocate them as we need to. David Welch, kcbs. New disease caused by birds ingesting plastic. Jim Taylor, with the details. Scientists performing necropsies on dead birds on lord Howe island finding their organs full of plastics. Understanding the threats that plastic cause and understanding it more clearly as is the case when you look at these birds, what plastics can do to the insides of organisms is really important lines of evidence. Yeah, we're talking about these findings with Stanford University, postdoctoral scholar, Matthew savoca, Hopkins marine station, says the organ scarring inside these birds, it's like a human with emphysema. In general are going to be seen, what health effects they might have at a chronic level on organisms that consume those. And this is much more relevant to people because people almost every day are consuming micro plastics through their indoor environment through their food. The alarm is being sounded now because now he says is the time to act. Right? We shouldn't have to have a national or an international health crisis to finally get behind regulating this stuff. It should be, it should happen before it becomes a crisis. At least for people, it's not a crisis yet. And so let's deal with it before it gets to that level.

For a few weeks there, America was burning up over gas stones. We had started with a federal official, concerned over health and environmental risks, wondering out loud about possible bans. In response, became fierce national pushback for those who like their gas stoves, question the research pointing to hazards, and see in this reform push, just another example of federal overreach. Fair to say, things have gotten heated. But then there's the Bay Area where this debate is old news at this point. It already sparked off a few years ago when Berkeley broke national ground with the first gas ban in the country. And now Bay Area regulators are considering even more sweeping action. Welcome to kcbs in depth, broadcasting throughout the Bay Area and streaming on the Odyssey app, I'm Keith manconi. About one month from now, the Bay Area air quality management district is set to vote on a set of new rules that would aim to phase out gas furnaces and water heaters and replace them with all electric appliances. It's an effort to stamp out some of the biggest sources of pollution from Bay Area cities, but this transition comes with a price tag.

As you might imagine, all this rain is creating an awful lot of potholes on Bay Area roads and as we mark national pothole day, which is today. Keith manconi takes a closer look at how caltrans is responding. It's a bumpy ride out there. Already this year, caltrans has received reports for about 400 potholes in the Bay Area, meaning they're coming in at more than twice the rate they did last year, and work crews are responding in force. Earlier it now called trans has activated our 12 emergency operations centers throughout the state. And we right now, we have more than 4000 crews who are running 24 hours maintenance patrols for road hazard. Caltrans, spokesperson, Pedro Quintana, more than a nuisance, a pothole forced the shutdown of highway 17 this past Tuesday, and then there's the risk to your car. If motorist has any damage to the vehicles due to potholes, they can report a freeway or motor vehicle damage by putting in a caltrans claim request Cities can also help if the damage occurred on a city street. Meantime, experts say keeping your car's tires properly inflated can help reduce damage. Keith manconi, the latest COVID variant is quickly spreading thanks to mutations that make it more transmissible. But kcbs is Chris Ann Carlo reports. It's not the monster. It's cracked up to be. A nickname has evolved for the omicron variant XB one 5 5 kraken and some scientists and doctors are resistant to the term. I do have the same problem with that, nickname, which is not coming from the WHO or CDC, but coming from a biologist and then the press have kind of just picked it up. Senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins center for health security, doctor Amish atala says it's an unnecessary mischaracterization. When you use a term like that to describe this variant, I think it connotes a much higher level of severity in concern than there actually is. And that stokes fear, which gets in the way of facts. What we know is that this is a sub variant of omicron and that our vaccines are durable when it comes to protection against what matters. Serious illness hospitalization and death that drugs like paxil did work well on SPV one 5, just like they work well in every other variant. He says the variant is more transmissible, but that's to be expected with a respiratory virus. So every time there's a new variant there are lots of scary headlines, but nobody should be surprised. That's how evolution works. It's all just says it's important to note that hospitalization and death rates are not tracking with case counts. Chris Anne Carlos CBS.

New deal for those who like to visit national parks in California and Oregon and an effort to reduce smash and grab robberies. Good afternoon, I'm Liz St. John. It's two 31.

Highway one remains closed from ragged point in San Luis Obispo county to about two and a half miles south of Big Sur in Monterey county, closure is due to rockslides in multiple locations, currently no timetable for reopening. Well, it's a New Year's Day, but the new mayor of San Jose didn't take the day off. As Jennifer Hodges says, he kicked off his first day on the job meeting with first responders, new mayor Matt Mayan says he wanted to show his appreciation for first responders working over the holiday as far as his top priorities for the new year. Well, I think the residents were very clear that they want to see us focused on basics on things like public safety, which is why I'm out here this morning connecting with all of our first responders, cleanliness, better solutions to street homelessness. Residents of the city have been complaining for the past few years about illegal dumping and garbage around freeway overpasses. But you know, in the long run, I think the most important thing we can do is reduce and ultimately end street homelessness. It's hard to keep the city feeling clean and safe when we have nearly 6000 people living outside. The new mayor says the city needs to move much faster to scale up interim housing sites. Jennifer Hodges case CBS. Environmentalists and even some fishermen are happy with a new law dealing with how to catch certain fish and to target swordfish off the California coast. For decades, fishermen trying to bring in swordfish have used mile long nets laid in the water overnight. The problem was those wide nets don't discriminate and they caught a lot of endangered species from whales to turtles, the new law prohibits those nets and gives fishermen a different and better option. Jeff Chester is California campaign director and senior scientist at oceana, a nonprofit organization. One of the really exciting parts of this whole effort is a transition program that actually transitions to a new cleaner way to fish for swordfish called deep set buoy gear, which is selective and it's actively fish is only catching swordfish and fish that are actually able to sell in an avoids the harm to marine mammals and other species. And so this is supported by sport fishing communities by the humane groups, even by seafood businesses that want to actually continue to provide swordfish off of our coast and keep our fishermen here in business so that we don't have to import our seafood. We can have a responsible way that we can catch seafood right here at home. Doing it this way should save lots of whales and other species and provide a better business for all the local fishermen. For national parks in California and southern Oregon are offering visitors a new deal starting today. Keith manconi has more. It turns out one national park isn't enough for some nature lovers. That's at least what visitors have been telling Jim Richardson, park superintendent of lassen volcanic national park. Several people said, oh, I have three of these passes. Already.

Now that the new year has begun, they're going to give the people what they're asking for. Buying the $55 annual park pass one will count as an annual park pass to all.

"News time is 7 ten sponsored by water heaters only, time to service or replace your water heater, visit water heaters only dot com. Well, as we mark the start of a new year, we're also reflecting on some of the biggest news stories and trends from 2022. Keith manconi talks about why the fire season wasn't as bad as many people had expected it to be. 2022 got off to an incredibly dry start. At all signs pointed to a punishing fire season, but instead, we ended up getting off relatively easy with the second fewest acres burned of any year in the past decade. What made the difference? Rains that fell just in the Nick of time. The key moment came in mid September when right after a record heat wave when things looked really bad, we got a rare bit of mid September rain. And that kind of saved the day. Paul Rogers, environment writer for the mercury news. Another thing that helped, new investments in firefighting resources. So, you know, a lot of this was luck in terms of the timing of when we got rain. Some of it was that we're adapting better to fire in this era of warming climate. Nevertheless, he warns that there are likely plenty more challenging fire seasons to come. Remember, this is still the year that an extreme summer heat wave shattered records throughout Northern California. And so that shows the kind of future that we could well have next year in the years ahead.

Meanwhile, all of these storms back east are leading to cancellations and delays for holiday travelers here in the Bay Area, mostly on Southwest Airlines, flights, but are really across the board, so let's just take a look at the stats here. On flight aware dot com and I'm going to start off by looking at SFO and right now they're reporting to see here 91 total flight cancellations in the last 24 hours. Let's go over to Oakland, we're reporting 130 total flight cancellations in the last 24 hours. San Jose 117. So that's a large number at all three of those airports. Also a banner for San Jose saying that there are delays of average of about 28 minutes and increasing at that airport. So obviously you want to check your email and check the airline apps and check everything else she can before you head to any of the airports and try to get home after the holidays. Well, it's been another year and that means another 12 months of facing COVID risks. Keith manconi spoke with a local public health expert about how the Bay Area has written the COVID waves of 2022. The year started with the record breaking omicron surge. And now is it ends we're facing a spike in cases once again. But hope remains high that we'll be able to avoid a repeat of those COVID explosions that have strained our health system to the breaking point. Doctor John swarg, professor emeritus with UC Berkeley's school of public health, says in large part, we have the vaccines to thank for that. We know that these vaccines work, not so much to prevent getting infected, but they do work very well for preventing really serious disease. So this is what I would have expected the vaccines to be able to do for us. Also making a difference, stronger background immunity due to prior infections and better treatments for COVID. So now, what could come next? Well, schwarzburg says this is a virus that continues to change at a rapid pace. So the most honest answer that I think a scientist or a physician can say to what's going to be happening in the future with his viruses, we don't know.

We've thrown all the responsive records on a dashboard, easily accessible to most anybody. Beyond transparency, the hope is that drawing together these records could also act as a deterrent for future police misconduct.

Allison keyes, CBS News. It's 8 O 5 at the Bay Area's new station case CBS. We're going to have sunny skies and mild temperatures today. Good morning. I'm Eric Thomas. Here's what's happening. Convicted theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes has been sentenced to prison and Keith manconi was at the courthouse in San Jose yesterday when a federal judge made the announcement. After hours of arguments from both sides, judge Edward davila, delivered a sentence of more than 11 years for Elizabeth Holmes, it comes about one year after she was convicted for defrauding investors with outsized claims about the technology, developed by her blood testing company, theranos. During the hearing, prosecutors argued a strong sentence would help deter similar fraud. While the defense made the case for leniency on the grounds that Holmes had been motivated by a genuine desire to help the world through her company. Legal analyst Stephen Clark says this sentence will come as a major disappointment for Holmes legal team. Not just with this sentence, but the fact that miss Holmes was only convicted of four charges, not all of the charges she faced. So they were hoping for a much better outcome and I think the prosecution feels very good that they got close to what they asked for. Holmes is expected to report for her prison term in April, though an appeal is expected. In San Jose, Keith manconi, meantime the Holmes case is already changed relations between BioTech startups and venture capitalists. Matt bigler has more on that part of the story. In the wake of the high profile failure of theranos and the conviction of Elizabeth Holmes, many venture capitalists are asking tougher questions of startup companies and cough sill, who's worked in BioTech and followed the Holmes case closely, says more VCs are requiring that CEOs signed documents guaranteeing that their technology actually works. I think venture capitalists, the real ones in Silicon Valley always did that. They knew these things were risky and wanted to see evidence that it was making progress and on its way. You know, importantly, many regular VCs did not invest in theranos. It was more of these family funds and people that did not have so much experience. Theranos raised nearly a $1 billion from investors on the promise that its blood testing could detect a range of diseases like cancer from a single drop of blood, but the technology never worked as promised.

"Practices. It's a tough stiff sense. But I think it's justified one in that it was a brazen fraud. She not only defrauded investors, she put patients in harm's way. The defense argued for leniency on the grounds that Holmes had been motivated by a genuine desire to help the world through her company. In San Jose, Keith manconi, meantime the home's case may have already changed the way investor C Silicon Valley startups, especially BioTech. Matt bigler, with that part of the story. At one point, theranos was valued at $9 billion on the promise from CEO Elizabeth Holmes that her blood testing technology could accurately detect cancer and other illnesses in a single drop of blood. It couldn't. And cough sill, who worked in BioTech and has followed the Holmes case closely, says that colossal failure of theranos has caused venture capitalists to increase their scrutiny of Silicon Valley startups. I have heard, though, from colleagues that investors kind of demanded, I think it has similar questions that they would have to BioTech, but now really pushed them on how well it worked and made them sign certain documents that said it worked the way they said it would. She points out that many of the investors in theranos were not VCs rather wealthy families who were charmed by Holmes personality and persuaded by her connections to Stanford University.

The Bay Area is still reeling a week after news broke that Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked in the couple's San Francisco home, but this attack comes as the country enters a volatile election cycle, where the potential for more political violence seems to be rising. The environment we now live in in the United States is not a benign environment. Robert pape is a Professor of political science who studies attitudes towards political violence, and he sees warning signs for the weeks ahead. There is the potential of a number of lightning strikes as I call them coming here in the coming weeks and several months, all the way through January. This is not over if we get through Thanksgiving. But he does hold out hope that cooler heads could prevail. If we can just come together and recognize that as a people, we have everything to lose by violence, then we will have a chance to strengthen democracy through this election.
