9:04 am
great nation. >> also, some strategy revealed. while president biden mentioned his predecessor 13 times, he did not mention donald trump by name . let s take a live look at san francisco city hall where mayor london breed tried to shape the narrative of the city in her state of the city address. breed faces opponents who want her out of office. her response is a plan for major changes by 2030, really setting a clock to revitalize downtown in six years. >> downtown just can't be about jobs. it can't just be the 9:00 the 5:00 financial district. we also need more people to live and study there. our new initiative, 30 by 30, 30,000 more residents and students downtown by 2030, a comprehensive plan for a dynamic, resilient downtown with resident nightlife and businesses. a neighborhood that

safely. to berkeley now where some parents who have been calling for more security at cal are now putting their own money up to provide that security. to get the boots on the ground, they had to raise tens of thousands of their own dollars to put private security on patrol. this, along the south side of campus where the dorms are where students sleep . we have been following crime concerns at uc berkeley. a few weeks ago, a man fired a gun in the air on campus, forcing students to have to run for cover at a place of education and shelter in place. we have a reporter looking into this. we spoke with a student who has been wanting to see a change. this student you are about to hear from was robbed at gunpoint. >> the security guards will be out here from 6:30 a night until 3:00 in the morning to patrol three main dorm buildings and the surrounding areas. parents in this group called safe bears say this is long overdue but some wonder if this will make a difference to make the streets safer.
9:10 am
rebekah has been studying at cal. first, it felt like normal life on campus until recently. >> i parked in my driveway . as i was unlocking the door, two people approach me from behind. one came to the drivers seat and went into the passenger's seat and they pointed a gun at me and told me to get out of the car. >> rebekah has been robbed not once, twice off campus. the robbers stole her personal belongings and her car but they took something much greater, her shot at a normal college life. >> when i am walking the streets, i am always scared. i am looking around. i am always running to my car and locking it immediately. it is not a sustainable lifestyle anymore. >> it is not just a concern for students. parents like sagar jethani took matters into their own hands. >> if they are not going to act, despite repeated -- we
9:11 am
are going to act. we are going to do what needs to be done to keep our families safe. >> parent group safe bears raised $40,000 to hire these private security guards to patrol near campus housing on bikes and on foot for the next few weeks. after that, the hope is that the university will take over. >> we want to turn up the heat with the administration. we want to show that we are not content to wait to have these safety ambassadors deployed. >> the patrols are not armed but they have radios and are trained to de-escalate conflicts and call police if necessary. >> i guess i just wonder, what is their approach supposed to be if suddenly someone appeared out of the blue? what proactive measures they are ready to take? >> i am -- unlike the campus security officers, i know they're there to make people safe but we don't need
9:12 am
additional security. >> rebekah hopes it will help other students avoid being victimized like she was but says it is just a start. >> there are actions that can be taken at multiple levels. there is a great position of athletic excellence

9:23 am
starter home. first generation buyers could get $25,000 toward the down payment. listen up to my friends in the control room who i say, buy a house. critics are asking how biden would pay for the credits. others argue they could backfire by spurring demand and increasing home prices. for renters, biden said federal agencies are cracking down on antitrust law violations that he blames for inflating the prices. we will be watching that one closely. if you have a grocery store within a short driving distance from your front door, it is a privilege that you likely take for granted. for years, the people of marin city have not had that. it is called a food desert. it is a big problem in the use it -- in these united states. this morning, we are holding up a mirror to the excitement of people in marin city who walked in the doors to this new community grocery store. p for this, the people you see here this morning, they
