>>> AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION, DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU, THANK YOU.

>>> IT'S BEEN NEARLY A MONTH SINCE 40 ACRES BURNED NEAR SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY BUT QUESTIONS ABOUT BRUSH MANAGEMENT AND PALM TREE REMOVAL REMAIN.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

FIRE OFFICIALS TRIED TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AT A COMMUNITY FORUM LAST NIGHT.

KATIE ANASTAS WAS THERE.

>> QUESTIONS REMAIN AFTER A FIRE BURNED 40 ACRES AND DESTROYED ONE HOUSE NEAR SAN DIEGO STATE LAST MONTH.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS WONDERED WHETHER PALM TREES AND OVERGROWN BRUSH COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO PREVENT IT BUT SAN DIEGO FIRE RESCUE OFFICIALS SAY PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND LIMITS WHAT THEY CAN DO.

>> MOST OF THE ACRES THAT BURNED WAS PRIVATELY OWNED.

IT WAS NOT OWNED BY THE CITY.

AND FOR US TO GO IN THERE AND CLEAR THAT PROPERTY OUT, WOULD YOU LIKE US TO COME KNOCK OUT THE TREES IN YOUR BACKYARD?

WE CAN'T.

>> SINCE JULY, 2021, STATE LAW HAS REQUIRED PROPERTY SELLERS IN HIGH FIRE RISK ZONES TO GET THEIR DEFENSIBLE SPACE INFECTED.

THAT IS GENERALLY A 100 FOOT RADIUS AROUND THE STRUCTURE.

THE ASSISTANT FIRE MARSHAL SAID THE SAN DIEGO FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT HAS SOME AUTHORITY TO CLEAR BRUSH WITHIN THAT RADIUS BUT ONLY IF THERE ARE STRUCTURES.

>> THE LAWS THAT WE ENFORCE OUR 100 FEET.

SO IF YOU'RE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CANYON AND THERE ARE NO STRUCTURES WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY IF IT IS NOT WITHIN THAT DEFENSIBLE SPACE AREA.

>> OFFICIALS SAY IT TAKES THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE.

THEY RECOMMEND PLANTING FIRE RISK IMPLANTS WITHIN 100 FEET OF YOUR HOME, REMOVING DEAD VEGETATION AND TRIMMING TREE BRANCHES THAT TOUCH STRUCTURES.

>>> WE HAVE ANOTHER COOL NIGHT AHEAD OF US WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE LOWER 50s IN MANY SPOTS, AND EVEN A FEW AREAS GETTING INTO THE UPPER 40s.

ANOTHER COOL NIGHT AND WE TALK ABOUT THE PATTERN TAKING HOLD, COMING UP.

>>> SEVERE WEATHER IS BRINGING SNOW, RAIN AND POWER OUTAGES TO MULTIPLE STATES ON BOTH COASTS TODAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

>>> POWER OUTAGES COME DOWN TREES, FLOODED ROADS AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGE, THE RESULT OF A WICKED WEATHER WEEK FOR LARGE PARTS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, ONE THAT STARTED WITH A DEADLY BOMB CYCLONE THAT FUELED BACK-TO-BACK ATMOSPHERIC EVENTS.

>> WE'VE GOT SEVERAL MORE DAYS OF THIS, SO MAJOR CLEANUP WILL HAVE TO BE AFTER THE STORM PASSES.

>> MANY RESIDENTS ARE NOT WAITING FOR THE CAVALRY TO ARRIVE.

>> WE JUST HAVE A PIECE OF PLYWOOD OVER IT.

>> SOME ARE SITTING UP CELL PHONE CHARGING HUBS OR HELPING TO CLEAR DEBRIS FROM DRIVEWAYS.

IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, THE WINTER STORM DUMP WAS A BOOM.

AND A NUMBER OF STATES RECEIVED THEIR FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON.

>> RIGHT NOW WE ARE UP TO 13.1 INCHES.

>> OTHER HIGH MARKS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK REACHED BETWEEN 14 AND 16 INCHES.

THIS IS STRETCHED INTO THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW.

>>> RUNNING UP AGAINST THE CLOCK.

THE SAN DIEGO HOUSING COMMISSION APPROVED THREE LEASES FOR SHELTER SPACES TODAY.

THEY INCLUDE 263 BEDS AT THE SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSION SITE IN NATIONAL CITY.

THE ALCOHOL ABUSE SHELTER IN CITY HEIGHTS AND THE VETERANS VILLAGE OF SAN DIEGO.

THE CITY IS LOSING 600 BEDS WHEN THE GOLDEN ALL SHELTER CLOSES AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

OUR MEDIA PARTNER SPOKE TO HOMELESS ADVOCATE JOHN BRADY WHO SAYS THE QUALITY OF BEDS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE NUMBERS WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS.

>> THIS IS NON-A CONGREGATE ENVIRONMENT.

EVEN WITH THEIR CALLING CONGREGATE IS A MAXIMUM FOR PEOPLE TO HER ROOM WITH A SHARED BATHROOM, LOCKERS AND SOME PRIVACY.

YOU WERE NOT IN A ROOM WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SO RECOVERY CAN START TO HAPPEN.

>> ALL THREE FACILITIES HAVE SIX-MONTH LEASES LISTING FROM JANUARY THROUGH JUNE WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW UP TO FOUR YEARS.

THE PLAN WILL COST OR THAN $1 MILLION FOR THAT FIRST SIX MONTHS ALONE.

FUNDING IS COMING FROM MONEY THE CITY WOULD HAVE USED FOR SHELTERS THAT ARE CLOSING.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS CONSIDERING AN ORDINANCE THAT AIMS TO PRESERVE AT RISK AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

ANDREW BUEN EXPLAINS.

>> WHEN DEVELOPERS BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE DEED INCLUDES A RESTRICTION THAT GUARANTEES RENTS WILL BE AFFORDABLE TO CERTAIN INCOME GROUPS.

THOSE RESTRICTIONS CAN EXPIRE, LEAVING TENANTS AT RISK OF UNAFFORDABLE RENT HIKES.

UNDER THE NEW PROPOSAL, OWNERS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAVE TO GIVE NONPROFITS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY THE MOMENT THE OWNER INTENDS TO SELL.

CITY COUNCILMEMBERS IS A IT WOULD CLOSE A LOOPHOLE IN STATE LAW.

>> THIS ORDINANCE IS REASONABLE AND WOULD BE AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO ALLOW THE CITY TO KEEP DEED RESTRICTED UNITS IN PLACE ACROSS SAN DIEGO AND IT COMES TO US AT A TIME WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOMES IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE NEED.

>> THE ORDINANCE WOULD NOT APPLY TO SO-CALLED NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THESE TYPES OF HOMES DON'T HAVE RENT RESTRICTIONS ON THE DEED BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR OLD AGE OR LACK OF AMENITIES, THEY ARE STILL AFFORDABLE.

SEVERAL PUBLIC COMMENTERS SAID THE CITY ALSO NEEDS MORE FUNDING TO PRESERVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

EVEN WITH THE FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL, NONPROFITS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES STRUGGLE TO COMPETE IN THE BIDDING WARS OVER AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>> HAVING POLICY AND ORDINANCE IN PLACE IS A SIGNIFICANT FIRST STEP.

HAVING THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUNDING SO THAT THERE ARE ENTITIES THAT HAVE THE CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO ACTUALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IS A CRITICAL PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE.

>> THE COUNCIL LAND-USE AND HOUSING COMMITTEE VOTED TO ADVANCE THE RESERVATION ORDINANCE TO THE FULL CITY COUNCIL.

>>> THE OWNERS OF AN IMPERIAL BEACH APARTMENT COMPLEX ISSUED A MASSIVE EVICTION NOTICE.

NOW TENANTS ARE URGING THE CITY COUNCIL TO INTERVENE.

THAT STORY IS COMING UP.

>>> SOME HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE A PLACE FOR NEW IMMIGRANT STUDENTS TO GET HELP NAVIGATING THEIR NEW SURROUNDINGS.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRAND OPENING OF THE NEW, WELCOME CENTER AT CRAWFORD HIGH SCHOOL.

>> THROUGH DANCE AND A RIBBON- CUTTING, SAN DIEGO UNIFIED WELCOME CENTER IS OFFICIALLY OPEN WITH MORE THAN 75 LANGUAGES SPOKEN ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND ROUGHLY 1500 TO 3000 IMMIGRANT STUDENTS EACH YEAR.

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THE CENTER HELPS STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES FEEL SUPPORTED AND CARED FOR.

>> I WELCOMING THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, AFFIRMING OUR BELIEF IN A WORLD THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO LEARN, GROW AND DREAM NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM.

>> THE ADJUSTMENT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT HE SAYS.

HE SAYS THE WELCOME CENTER UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE AND OTHER STUDENTS LIKE HIM ARE GOING THROUGH.

THEY HELPED HIM WITH SCHOOL WORK AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE.

>> THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF THE MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SAYS THE CENTER'S PURPOSE IS TO HELP STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FEEL INTEGRATED INTO THE COMMUNITY.

>> WHEN THEY ARRIVE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY FEEL WELCOME.

EVERY SINGLE STUDENT HAS A RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND THAT THEY KNOW THEIR RIGHTS AND FEEL WELCOME.

>> THE WELCOME CENTER IS A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES CAN COME IN AND GET CONNECTED.

>> WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPORT THAT MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME.

PROVIDING SERVICES IN THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE AND GUIDANCE ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

>> THE CENTERS ARE SET UP AT FIVE HIGH SCHOOLS AROUND THE CITY AND MOST ARE OPEN ONE DAY A WEEK.

THEY ALSO PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS, HOUSING RESOURCES AND CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES.

THE CENTERS ARE FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

>>> A CHILD IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH BIRD FLU.

THE CDC SAYS IT IS THE FIRST CASE CONFIRMED IN A CHILD IN THE U.S. HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THE CHILD LIVES IN ALAMEDA COUNTY AND IS RECOVERING AT HOME WITH MILD SYMPTOMS.

THEY ARE INVESTIGATING HOW THE CHILD WAS INFECTED AND SAY THE CHILD MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO WILD BIRDS.

THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 46 CONFIRMED CASES OF BIRD FLU IN ADULTS, MOST HAVE BEEN FARMWORKERS.

MANDY GAITHER HAS MORE ON WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT INFECTION.

>> SPORADIC CASES OF AGE 5 AND WHEN SPREADING FROM ANIMALS TO HUMANS HAVE PROMPTED CONCERN FROM U.S. HEALTH OFFICIALS.

THE LATEST DATA CONFIRMING 52 CASES OF BIRD FLU IN PEOPLE SINCE APRIL.

>> THIS CERTAINLY HAS EVERYONE'S GUARD UP.

>> OHIO STATE EPIDEMIOLOGIST ANDREW BOWMAN SAYS THIS LATEST STRAIN CAME OVER IN 2021 AND HAS SPREAD THROUGH WILD BIRDS IN NORTH AMERICA.

SO FAR IN THE U.S. THOSE WHO HAVE TESTED POSITIVE HAVE HAD MILD SYMPTOMS LIKE EYE REDNESS, DISCHARGE AND MILD UPPER RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS.

AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE TESTED POSITIVE HAVE RECOVERED FROM THEIR ILLNESSES AFTER BEING TREATED WITH ANTIVIRAL MEDICATIONS.

>> ANYTIME WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VIRUS TO MOVE ACROSS SPECIES THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR A NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOME.

>> THE CDC RECOMMENDS REDUCING EXPOSURE TO WILD BIRDS, OTHER DOMESTICATED BIRDS AND UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO WILD OR DOMESTICATED ANIMALS LIKE COWS.

THEY ADVISE AGAINST DRINKING RAW MILK, THEY SAY PASTEURIZED MILK IS SAFE TO DRINK.

AVOIDING EXPOSURES TO THINGS LIKE ANIMAL WASTE, BEDDING OR OTHER MATERIALS TOUCHED BY AN ANIMAL WITH SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED BIRD FLU AND FOR THOSE WHO WORK WITH ANIMALS AT RISK OF EXPOSURE, WHERE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

>> THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC AT THIS TIME.

>>> THERE IS BAD NEWS IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY A HOUSE IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

FREDDIE MAC REPORTS THE AVERAGE RATE ON THE STANDARD MORTGAGE WAS 6.48% THIS WEEK.

THE SEVENTH WEEKLY INCREASE IN THE PAST EIGHT WEEKS AND ECONOMISTS IN RECENT FORECAST SAVE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO STATE STUCK ABOVE 6% FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

THAT MEANS AMERICANS HOPING TO BECOME HOMEOWNERS WON'T GET ANY MEANINGFUL RELIEF FROM THOSE HIGH BORROWING COSTS.

>>> YOU NOW HAVE TO MAKE A SIX- FIGURE SALARY TO AFFORD A NEW HOME IN MOST U.S. CITIES.

THAT ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT BY OXFORD ECONOMICS.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT EXACTLY HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO MAKE TO AFFORD A NEW HOME AND WHAT IS CAUSING THE SURGE IN PRICES.

>> HOME PRICES HAVE SURGED ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW HOUSE YOU WOULD NEED TO EARN ROUGHLY $108,000 A YEAR, NEARLY DOUBLE THE HOUSEHOLD INCOME TO AFFORD A HOME FIVE YEARS AGO.

IT IS ALSO MUCH HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE U.S.

WAGE WHICH LAST YEAR WAS $65,470.

EXPERTS SAY HIGHER STICKER PRICES, HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES AND AN INCREASE IN INSURANCE ARE ALL CONTRIBUTING TO THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS.

>> THIS IS SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE.

>> THE LATEST DATA FROM THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS SHOWS THAT THE MEDIAN HOME PRICE JUMPED TO $418,700 LAST MONTH AND MOST MORTGAGE COMPANIES REQUIRE A 20% DOWN PAYMENT.

>> THAT MEANS COMING UP WITH $80,000.

>> I INTEREST RATES ARE ALSO HURTING THE MARKET.

AS OF LAST WEEK A 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE RATE WAS AT 6.78% ACCORDING TO FREDDIE MAC.

>> THE AVERAGE AMERICANS COULD BUY HOMES IN THEIR LATE 20s AND EARLY 30s AND NOW IT IS MORE LIKE LATE 30s.

>> BUT THERE ARE OTHER LOAN OPTIONS.

>> FHA LOANS ARE AVAILABLE FOR AS LITTLE AS 3.5% DOWN.

THERE ARE CONVENTIONAL LOANS YOU CAN GET WITH AS LITTLE AS 5% DOWN.

>> 2025 WILL BE A BETTER CONDITION FOR BUYERS.

THERE WILL BE MORE INVENTORY CHOICES.

>> RENTERS IN IMPERIAL BEACH ARE RAISING ALARMS AFTER THE OWNERS OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ISSUED MASS EVICTION NOTICES.

COREY SUZUKI SAYS TENANTS ARE URGING THE CITY COUNCIL TO STEP IN.

>> IT IS A PRETTY DIVERSE COMMUNITY WHERE MANY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 10 YEARS OR LONGER.

>> THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH MEANS A LOT OF THINGS TO JOSHUA LOPEZ.

IT IS WHERE HE AND HIS MOTHER HAVE LIVED FOR 11 YEARS, WHERE HIS MOM CAN BE CLOSE TO HER GRANDKIDS, THAT SHE WATCHES.

>> IT IS HOME, IT IS COMFORT AND SAFETY AND I WOULD HATE TO LEAVE IT.

>> NOW LOPEZ IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THIS WILL BE THERE LAST YEAR HERE.

>> IT IS INFORMING US THAT OUR TENDENCY IS TERMINATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 31st.

THE IMMEDIATE FEELING IS FEAR.

>> LOPEZ AND HIS MOM ARE BEING EVICTED.

THEY GOT THE NEWS LAST MONTH.

IT IS NOT JUST THEM.

THE NEW OWNERS OF THE 64 UNIT COMPLEX ARE KICKING EVERYONE OUT.

FOR DECADES THE BUILDING WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY BUT LAST YEAR IT WAS SOLD TO A REAL ESTATE COMPANY.

NOW THEY ARE EVICTING EVERYONE SO THEY CAN RENOVATE THE BUILDING.

ADDING NEW FLOORS, CABINETS AND HEATING AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS.

THE COMPANY ARGUED THEY HAD GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP TENANTS BY ALLOWING THEM THREE MONTHS TO MOVE OUT AND KEEP THEIR SECURITY DEPOSIT.

LOPEZ SAYS THAT IS NOT HOW IT FEELS.

HE IS NOT SURE HOW HE AND HIS MOM WILL AFFORD TO MOVE.

>> WE ARE IN SHOCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'VE LIVED HERE FOR SO LONG AND WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT.

WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE RULES AND PAY THEIR RENT ON TIME.

WE ARE NOT SURE WHY EXACTLY THIS IS HAPPENING.

>> HAWAIIAN GARDENS IS NOT THE ONLY BUILDING BRACING FOR THIS KIND OF EVICTION.

NEXT-DOOR, SHERMAN IS ALSO PREPARING TO RECEIVE A SIMILAR NOTICE.

HIS BUILDING WAS PURCHASED BY A PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM AND THEY GOT A LETTER THAT THE OWNERS WERE PLANNING TO RENOVATE THE BUILDING AND EVENTUALLY EVERYONE WILL NEED TO MOVE OUT.

THE NEWS IS COMING AT A BAD TIME, HIS WIFE IS DEALING WITH SEVERAL HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR HER TO EAT AND GET AROUND BY HERSELF.

THE MEDICAL BILLS ARE ADDING UP.

>> IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MOVED OUT BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T AFFORD TO MOVE OUT.

UNLESS I TAKE A BIG PORTION OUT OF MY SAVINGS.

>> THESE KINDS OF SUBSTANTIAL REMODEL EVICTIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER STATE LAW EVEN IF THE TENANT HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

BUT THESE EVICTIONS HAVE DRAWN A LOT OF CRITICISM OVER THE YEARS FROM SAN DIEGO TO L.A. TO THE BAY AREA.

>> INVESTORS COME IN AND RENOVATE THE COMPLEX AND THEN JACK UP THE RENT.

>> EVERY DAY WE ARE LOSING MORE AND MORE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT IS MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

>> STATE LAWMAKERS AGREE.

LAST YEAR THEY PASSED THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION ACT WHICH PUTS LIMITS ON RENOVATIONS BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE THIS.

PROPERTY OWNERS IN L.A. CAN STILL DO RENOVATIONS BUT THEY HAVE TO HELP TENANTS FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO STAY DURING THE REMODELING AND LET THEM MOVE BACK IN AFTERWARDS.

RENTERS IN IMPERIAL BEACH ARE URGING THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER DOING THE SAME.

>> WE ARE HEARING OUR COMMUNITIES NEEDS LOUD AND CLEAR.

>> THE IMPERIAL BEACH MAYOR SAYS SHE IS PLANNING TO BRING THIS FORWARD FOR DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

>> IT DOESN'T BENEFIT ANYBODY PUTTING PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE HOLIDAYS.

IN THAT REGARD I WOULD SAY LET'S LOOK AT OPTIONS AND FIGURE OUT A WAY THAT DOES NOT IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES AND IS FAIR FOR EVERYONE.

>> IT IS A LONG SHOT AND SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT WAITING.

SHERMAN IS ALREADY STARTING TO PACK UP HIS THINGS.

AS HIS WIFE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THEY HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD A DIFFERENT PLACE.

>> JUST NEXT-DOOR, JOSHUA IS SCARED BUT STILL HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WILL ACT.

>> MOVING IMMEDIATELY IS A QUICK SOLUTION BUT THERE ARE NOT ANY GUARANTEES THAT ANYWHERE WE MOVED TO YOU WILL BE FACED WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR, WHETHER IT IS MONTHS OR YEARS DOWN THE LINE.

AND THE MORE EFFECTIVE THING TO DO IS TO APPROACH THE CITY COUNCIL AND WORK ON A MIDDLE GROUND TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

>> LOPEZ HAS NOT STARTED PACKING JUST YET.

>>> WE HAVE ALREADY EMBRACED A LOT OF THAT CHILLY PATTERN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AND WE WILL HOLD THAT AS WE TRANSITION INTO NEXT WEEK.

DON'T EXPECT A BIG RISE IN THE NUMBERS, AND THE COOL SHOWERY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR US.

COULD BE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS POSSIBLE, MOST PLACES, IF WE PICK UP ANYTHING IT WILL BE .10 OF AN INCH OR LESS.

SUNDAY WILL BE THE DRIER DAY OF THE TWO THIS WEEKEND AND AS WE TRANSITION INTO NEXT WEEK WE WILL PICK UP ANOTHER CHANCE OF MOISTURE.

TONIGHT, WE FALL BACK INTO THE 40s, 50s AND EVEN SOME 30s IN SPOTS.

AS WE TRANSITION INTO TOMORROW, ESCONDIDO WILL BE MAKING IT TO 69 DEGREES.

STILL KEEPING WITH A LOT OF CLOUDS, A VIEW BRIEF SHOWERS IN A FEW LOCATIONS IS A POSSIBILITY MOSTLY THE STORY IS JUST NOT NEARLY AS BRIGHT AS WE WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE.

EXPECT MORE OF A CLOUDY TREND, SUNDAY THINGS START TO BEGIN YET AGAIN AS MOISTURE COMES IN OF THE PACIFIC FOR SOME OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, PROBABLY WON'T GET INTO THAT ACTION UNTIL MONDAY.

NOTICE THE UPCOMING DAYS, HOLDING ON TO THE MID 60s.

WE WILL EXPECT THE DRIER AND BRIGHTER DAY OF THE TO TO BE SUNDAY IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY LOCATION.

TEMPERATURES COULD GO UP JUST A TOUCH FROM THAT ON MONDAY BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA CLOUDS.

FOR MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES, MAKING IT INTO THE 50s AND A LITTLE WINDY AS WE TRANSITION IT THROUGH SUNDAY.

AND AS FAR AS RAINFALL IS CONCERNED, THERE WON'T BE MUCH IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE.

>>> MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW LUCY LAWLESS, THE ACTRESS WHO PLAYED ZINA, THE WARRIOR PRINCESS MAKES HER DIRECTORIAL DEBUT WITH A DOCUMENTARY, NEVER LOOK AWAY.

THE FILM CRITIC SAYS SHE IS AS IMPRESSIVE BEHIND THE CAMERA AS SHE WAS IN FRONT.

>> IN THE 1970S RECORD MONTH WAS THE FIRST WOMAN CAMERA PERSON IN NEW ZEALAND AND BY 1990 SHE WAS COVERING THE PERSIAN GULF WAR.

LUCY LAWLESS REMEMBERS WHEN SHE BECAME AWARE OF HER.

>> MY MIND JUST GOES BACK TO 1992 WHEN MY WHOLE COUNTRY WAS RIVETED TO A NEWS REPORT ABOUT A CAMERA WOMAN THAT HAD BEEN HIT BY A SNIPER IN THE FACE.

>> IN THAT MOMENT LAWLESS KNEW SHE WANTED TO TELL HER STORY.

>> SHE GOT ON SO WELL WITH MILITARY PEOPLE.

>> SHE NEVER MADE ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A FEMALE.

>> SHE JUST TORE IT UP.

AND SHE WAS GREATER THAN HERSELF IN THE END BY BEING A COMPLETELY LOVING KIND OF PERSON TO LIVING TO TELL THE STORY OF THE NONCOMBATANTS OF WAR, THAT SEEMS TO BE AN AMAZING AND ALMOST BIBLICAL TRANSFORMATION.

>> FOR A FIRST-TIME DIRECTOR, LAWLESS TACKLES IT WITH SURETY.

SHE ALSO FINDS INNOVATIVE WAYS TO DEPICT EVENTS FROM MOTH'S LIFE .

>> ALL OF A SUDDEN -- >> SOMEBODY GOES, THAT IS A DIORAMA.

WE HAD THE BLACK SKY, APRICOT LIGHT, THE COLOR OF THE SKIN OF OUR PEOPLE IN THE DIORAMA WILL BE GREEN.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE, THE SOUND DESIGN WAS SO FUN.

IT IS DESIGNED TO UP YOUR UNEASE.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING HORRIBLE IS COMING.

>> MOTH'S LIFE WAS EXTRAORDINARY AND LAWLESS DEPICTS IT ALL.

SHE HOPES THAT PEOPLE LEAVE THE FILM UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE MARTHA PLAYED AS A TRUTH TELLER.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING, LITERALLY FACING DEATH TO TELL THE TRUTH.

>> MOTH ALSO SERVES UP A LESSON ABOUT POTENTIAL.

>> YOUR POTENTIAL IS NOT THE HORIZON, IT IS BEYOND THE HORIZON.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET THERE BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO DISCOVER HOW MUCH YOU WERE CAPABLE OF.

SHE DID SO MUCH EVEN AFTER SO MUCH WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM HER.

WHO ARE WE NOT TO REACH A LITTLE BIT HIGHER FOR THE THING WE SECRETLY BELIEVE WE ARE CAPABLE OF.

>> TODAY I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE FUN.

>> LAWLESS MAKES AN IMPRESSIVE DIRECTORIAL DEBUT AND NEVER LOOK AWAY IS ULTIMATELY ONE POWERHOUSE WOMAN PAYING TRIBUTE TO ANOTHER.

>> YOU CAN FIND TONIGHT STORIES ON THEIR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

HAVE AN EXCELLENT EVENING AND A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
