faced with escalating 's new ction costs because ofra tariffs on imported lumber from canada. >> ever since the tariffs on lumber imports from canada were put in place, we've seen the price of lumber go up dramatically in the u.s. >> reporter: just how much? >> in the past year or so we have seen an increase in lumber costs of 40% to 50%, and the effects of that are rippling through homebuilders, obviously through decreased margins. >> reporter: construction industry analysts say that decreased margin will costs. here at global wood source in campbell, the cost of cin. >> there's a lot of demand for 2x 4 nowoi up. >> reporter: it is not just lumber. tariffs are also running up the price of imported steel and aluminum. developers say those costs likely will be passed on to home

buyers. when you combine that with the growing cost of land, labor and regulatory fees, housing industry analysts expect even more bay area residents will end up shutout of the housing market in the near future. the tariffs on canadian lumber average about 20%, but there are other factors, including disease of the trees, fires and a shortage of truckers that are also driving up the cost of lumber here in the united states. reporting live in san jose, marianne favro, "nbc bay area ."> our investigative unit learned the san francisco deputy whose gun was stolen from his car last week was a 20-year dep handgun was not secured in a lockbox when it was stolen from his personal car. this happened in front of his car in fairfield. now, just last month another deputy's unsecured gun was taken from his car outside of a fitness center in penole.

means a mouse clip and a key swipe that will get you instructions for printing any legal gun. all of this the result of a justice department decision to settle a long-running court battle. >> and they will now allow those blueprints to be made available online, despite the threat this poses to all of us, and this insanity starts tomorrow. >> reporter: hours after san francisco supervisor katherine stephanie's remarks today, a federal judge temporarily blocked the deal. but for some, that's not enough. standing next to mothers who have lost viol, vowed to champion legislation p prevn safrancisco. >> it is not free speech within reason. it is, yes, protect the first amendment, but not when it is going to cause bodily harm or injury to the public. that's something in constitutional law that you balance that. >> reporter: the san francisco-based electronic frontier foundation disagrees. in a 2015 court filing, the civil liberties group wrote, quote, the first amendment toss not permit the government to

criminalize online speech on a certain topic and then decide on a case-by-case basis which speech to license, without any binding standards, fixed deadlines or judicial review. and complicating the matter, the president's own response today on twitter about this. president trump said, quote, i am looking into 3d plastic guns being sold to the public. already spoke to nra, doesn't seem to make much sense. and it is the president's own administration that gave the green light on these downloads in the first place. as a result, what we've seen are 21 attorneys general from around the country going ahead and writing a letter to the state department and to the justice department, imploring them to rescind this settlement, and that includes california's. reporting live from the public library here in san francisco, sam brock, "nbc bay area news." >> thank you so much, sam. a popular website is being accused of false advertising. angie's list helps people find anything from handyman to doctors, but san francisco district attorney george gascone

children from a pleasanton youth program tries to maneuver the twists and turns on mount tee b diablo. unable to make the curve, it crosses the yellow lines into oncoming traffic, narrowly missing a bicyclist. >> the bus was completely over the double line and in my lane, so i had very little room to make the turn. >> reporter: rosie sipes says she thinks she is lucky she is here to talk about it and wants something done to keep buses off the mountain. the driver of this charter bus told the man who shot the video of those close calls with cyclists this was his first time driving on mount diablo and it would likely be his last. >> i wouldn't put my kid on this bus, number one. i wouldn't want to be on the bus that's going up this mountain. >> reporter: hundreds of bicyclists climb the mountain every day, and on the weekend that number could reach over 700, all trying to share the narrow road with cars, trucks and buses. >> it is just too dangerous. >> reporter: brad roberts, who has pedestrian willed up and

coasted down tee ab low for ten years, says maybe there should be size limits for vehicles on the road. >> if you go into the -- over the yellow line, it is so twisty, you never know what is coming up on the other side. >> reporter: fortunately for rosie sipes, someone warned her the bus was coming around the curve. >> thank goodness somebody had warned me to stay to the right because if i did not do that on that morning, it definitely would have been a tragedy i believe. >> reporter: now, here at the base of mount diablo where we are right now at the kiosk, the parks department does hand out pamphlets tothem about sharing h cyclists and how dangerous it is up here with the curves on this road, but that cyclist group says with all of the warning it doesn't really matter. it is not going to help. they really have to limit these buses from being on the road. they're 40-feet long and 8 1/2 to 10-feet wide. we're live near mount diablo, thom jensen, "nbc bay area news."
