6:15 pm
permit to operate in a residential zone, but about a month ago uber opened this 24 hour bicycle repair and recharge facility for its jump electric bike sharing business. neighbors say the noisy roll-up door is opening and closing all night long as trucks arrive to drop off and pick up bikes. jeannie barr lives next-door and says there's no escaping the noise. >> with the garage door open, the trucks going in, the bikes going off, a lot of noise, a lot of talk. >> reporter: neighbors say the tall apartment buildings and victorian homes tend to focus sound. so the noise coming through some people's windows is amplified. >> this is a unique area where sound carries different ways and up high above you can hear things that you might not necessarily hear at their level. >> it's been awful and the neighbors have been surprised that nobody was contacted on the street about this kind of use. >> reporter: it turns out the city wasn't contacted either. this letter to the building's owner from the planning department says the 24 hour
6:16 pm
bike shop does not qualify under the previous tenant's use permit. uber told us in a written statement today, "jump plans to cease nighttime operation and we will continue working with the planning department to address any concerns." but the notice of enforcement demands uber immediately discontinue use of the facility until they get a new permit. so far that hasn't happened and the neighbors are wondering why not. >> they keep saying they shouldn't be operating 24 hours and yet they are. >> reporter: in san francisco, john ramos, kpix5. paul deanno standing by with a look a the forecast and it has been feeling like summer out there. >> for some of you warmer than summer. trivia question. what do aha, van halen, wham, tears for fears, u2 and today's weather hain common? >> 80s. >> nice. two children of the '80s right over there. 80s across the board, even half moon bay hitting 80 degrees,

6:20 pm
collaboration but competition with different chefs and even with our own team. so this one was really interesting because it's all bay area, so we're using all bay area product. >> it's too close to call. the oakland chefs outstanding, very spicey like the raiders. >> san francisco, you can't go wrong with brisket. >> reporter: and the fans told me tonight that even though both teams are tanking this season, they came here to have a really good meal and a lot of fun. looks like so far they are and we hope it stays that way throughout the night. back to you. >> we are so lucky to live here in the bay area, all this good food. >> it doesn't matter what the record is because the food is good. just eat. >> vern glenn got there at 3:20 >> he saidice said there were 10 arrests already. >> oh, my goodness. keep it calm. just eat the food. 8-1, the warriors are looking for a little competition. so who did they bring in today? why steph curry might have

you're watching kpix5 news. our top story at 6:30, it's enough to make you want to set your phone on silent 24/7 for the next five days at least. first it was all the unsolicited phone calls. >> now political campaigns are blowing up phones with text messages. kpix5 political reporter melissa caen with where they're coming from and how you can stop them. >> can you? >> we can try. so it's happening all over the country, text messages say vote for proposition this or candidate that, even if you didn't give anyone permission to text you. so we wanted to know who is to blame and does it work? the text messages just keep coming, dozens of them from people you don't know asking you to vote for a candidate or ballot measure. >> the one topic that really sets voters off. >> reporter: john arntz is the director of elections for san
6:32 pm
francisco. his office gets many calls a day of people complaining about the texts. that's because campaigns get our information from the local elections department. >> it's not the department's fault people are getting text messages and phone calls from campaigns. >> reporter: when you register to vote, you give your name, address and sometimes phone number and by law campaigns are allowed to get all that information. even if you don't give your phone number, campaigns can use your name and address in the file and get your number from another source. >> i think it's going to be the norm. the question is a lot of people don't like it because they think it's too personal. >> reporter: john durham is an expert on marketing strategy for brands and candidates. he says even though not everyone like the text messages, they are cheap and they work. >> our purpose of our business is to inform, persuade and remind and those text repter: says this is all pretty new and in the future text messages will probably be more targeted, but for now there's just no way to stop all the text messages.
6:33 pm
although john arntz says some campaigns will stop contacting youonce you've turned in your ballot. now that's how you get people to vote. i voted today. i want to point out even if you text back campaigns saying take me off your list. sometimes they'll text back or try to argue with you. that's not a foolproof way. according john durham, even when people are annoyed, they are getting a reminder an election is coming up and that has actually gotten even some annoyed people to vote. >> thanks. head to our website www.kpix.com/election and our reporters will be live on election night covering the bay area's hottest races. watch live team coverage at 8:00 tuesday on www.kpix.com. update on a new and environmentally friendly way to

fight wildfires. we first told you about the company that said its product can put out fires in record time, but kpix5's julie watts explains the company is getting some pushback from state and federal agencies. >> reporter: the homes behind me are a perfect example of the increasing fire risk as communities continue to expand into areas with dense vegetation. now one company claims it can revolutionize firefighting but state and federal agencies say they're not interested. a raging pallet fire extinguished in about 20 seconds using an additive called pts. the company claims ptx extinguishes fires faster than any other product on the market. water on the left, ptx on the right, the additive extinguished the fire almost a minute faster and left the burnt wood cool to the touch. firefighters were impressed that unlike current retardants
6:35 pm
ptx is biodegradable and nontoxic. >> i would highly suggest testing it out because it was pretty impressive. >> reporter: but cal fire says it won't happen any time soon at least on the state and federal level. the agency simply does not have the testing facilities needed to insure new products are safe and effective. so they rely on the federal national forest service for testing which tells us ptx does not meet its requirements of either water enhancer or foam specifications, so they have no plans to test it either. >> seeing it firsthand made me more of a believer. >> reporter: the san mateo fire chief said while cal fire and the feds may not be interested, san mateo city is. he was one of a half dozen fire chiefs who showed up to a ptx demo and were impressed how little water was needed and how fast the charred products cooled. it's officially available on the market today. it will take some time to approve this product for testing even at the local level, a matter of months. meanwhile cal fire tells us there are other products that
6:36 pm
do make similar claims and they aren't legally prohibited from doing the testing. they say they simply don't have the facilities. in san mateo county, julie watts, kpix5. new details, charges have been filed in the accidental shooting of a toddler in oakland. the boy's father faces two counts of felony child abuse. his 3-year-old son was shot monday night. he is in critical condition. police say the father had put a loaded semiautomatic gun on top of an entertainment cabinet. the child apparently found it and shot himself by accident. drivers gone wild in the south bay, sideshows kept officers very busy halloween night. this one happened in san jose about 1:00 this morning on 880 and gish road. cars are swerving and the tires smoking there. officers say this was one of three huge sideshows. >> we estimate we had approximately 10050 to 200 vehicles involve -- 150 to 200

food bound for asian markets. it's expected to process up to 1 million tons of perishable products every year. >> oakland's really been lacking in cold chain compliant infrastructure. so this is really kind of solidifying the infrastructure within oakland that's needed to handle this type of business. >> in the past shippers would have to use alternate ports for perishables. the new facility is expected to create about 200 new jobs in oakland. we may change our clocks on sunday, paul, but the sunsets will remain the same, just earlier. >> exactly. that means the beautiful pictures are going to continue. this has been a great week for sunsets and there we go again, but perhaps grabbing your attention more perhaps is the temperature outside. it's still 80 in concord and 80 in santa rosa. that's a warm night out there, san jose 78, san francisco 71, oakland 74. once the sun does completely disappear we will cool off efficiently down to the mid-50s for vallejo, fremont, redwood city, mountain view and san jose. we fall back this weekend. parents, rejoice, an extra hour
6:47 pm
of sleep! sunrise bumped back to 6:38, but here's the tradeoff. sunset is now seven minutes after 5:00 coming up on sunday. it's not going to feel like falling back in campbell. it will be 81 tomorrow and our forecast for saturday is 83 degrees. so we're staying warm all throughout the bay area because the ocean influence, we just saw this big refrigerator, if you will, in oakland, there's a bigger one, the pacific ocean, but it's not in play now. the winds are coming from the north, so a minimal ocean influence. temperatures will stay above average for the foreseeable future as long as this ridge of high pressure doesn't move. it centered off to our west is giving us north winds. it's not just about is there a ridge close by. where is it located? down to our south we'd be getting a west to east flow, chillier. the ridge isn't going to move much, so the temperatures won't either. something new tomorrow, though, some low clouds and fog return to the coastline over the city of san francisco spilling into
6:48 pm
part of san francisco bay, gone by the afternoon. as we look towards saturday, plan on no fog, sunshine from start to finish. your weather headlines, we will have coast and bay fog overnight tonight, temperatures not that warm tomorrow, not as warm but still above average. we'll do the wide view first and then go region by region coming up. this is the wide shot, 78 redwood city, 79 san jose, 81 for santa rosa, plenty warm. we stay dry over the weekend. the warmer choice is saturday. let's go local and head to the south bay first. we're above average in morgan hill 83, union city 74, the coast 80s to the 60s, walnut creek 80, antioch 83, dublin 80 degrees, mill valley 73 degrees tomorrow, alameda 72. you'll likely have morning fog, afternoon sunshine, sonoma 82 and ukiah 81, lakeport 80 degrees. extended forecast, a little warmer saturday, a couple degrees cooler sunday, a little change from day to day, but the overarching forecast of dry, sunny and warmer than average
6:49 pm
