7:00 pm
why? a new study finds that stories like his are directly tied to oakland's budget crisis, and how the. tk+ fan base, thanks in part to the valkyries. >>i remember the early women's professional leagues where they tried really hard to say, hey, we're straight, we're straight. now they're just opening their hearts and doors. >>i'm sara donchey. juliette has this friday off. more than 100 year old housing policy may be coming to an end, and it could bring big changes to berkeley's landscape. the city council approved rezoning almost the entire city to make room for taller buildings and more housing. but as da lin shows us, reaction to that is mixed. >>building up is one way to create more housing in a city that doesn't have much vacant land. supporters of the zoning change say it will make housing more affordable, but opponents say it will increase traffic
7:01 pm
and change berkeley's character. as berkeley hills renter would like to own a home one day. but andrea zelensky says even with a phd and a strong educational background, home ownership feels out of reach. >>i could not afford one of these houses, and i don't think that is going to change. so i have to hopefully build different housing, new housing, smaller size that i could afford. >>that's why she spoke in favor of the so-called middle housing ordinance at thursday night's berkeley city council >>meeting. the more, the merrier. the more housing there is, the more prices will come down, the more things will be more affordable for more people. >>councilwoman rashi kashani pushed for the zoning >>change. >>she believes it will help create more housing for middle class workers by making it easier to build duplexes, triplexes and three story buildings. >>with the ordinance that was passed last night. these types of units will get a streamlined by right approval. so if they meet the
7:02 pm
development standards, they don't go above three stories and they have setbacks and open space. they can get approved over the counter. >>the bay east association of realtors reports of the 66 single family homes sold in berkeley last month, the median price was over $1.8 million. >>with what we're projecting in terms of 50 to 100 homes per year, that's an incremental change. so it will give us the opportunity to adapt and adjust. >>but opponents say it goes too >>far. why berkeley, which is already so densely populated and already so hard to get around in, it just doesn't make any sense >>to me. longtime resident clifford fred and some of his neighbors worry more people will lead to more traffic and lower quality of life. he says it's already hard to find parking in his neighborhood. >>older people who don't have who don't have driveways, people need their parking spaces. i don't think it's selfish for people to have parking spaces near their >>homes. opponents also argue the zoning change doesn't
7:03 pm
require affordable housing to be included, but supporters like andrea believe smaller condos could mean smaller price tags. >>i think eventually i'll be able to get to a place where i could have a condo or, you know, a unit in one of these sort of, you know, missing middle type places. >>the city council will hold a second reading in july, basically a second vote for formality. they expect the zoning change to go >>into. the new rules would not apply to the berkeley hills because of fire evacuation concerns. sacramento approved a zoning change last year, becoming the first city in the state to do that, and santa rosa is considering something similar. now to today's supreme court decision in the birthright citizenship case, the justices sidestepped the issue of whether the trump administration can end a what can end a right which is guaranteed in the constitution. but they did say that federal judges don't have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions to block a presidential order. it was a 6 to 3 decision. the justices split along ideological lines. many of
7:04 pm
president trump's executive orders, including the repeal of birthright citizenship, have been halted, with these nationwide injunctions issued by federal judges. today's ruling could have much more far reaching implications because president trump says his administration will now move forward with implementing those blocked orders. as for the birthright citizenship order, it's only expected to be implemented in the 28 states that did not challenge president trump's ban. san francisco city attorney was among those who expressed disappointment. today. >>again, we could bring lawsuits on behalf of san francisco and california. others could bring them around the country. but in this instance where we've had lawsuits, where we have won in court case after court case, what the supreme court is saying is a national injunction may not be appropriate. so for the millions of americans who live in jurisdictions that are not covered by these courts, they will not have these protections. >>we also heard from the great grandson of wong kim ark, the san francisco born man whose
7:05 pm
fight to be recognized as a u.s. citizen 127 years ago established birthright citizenship in the u.s.. >>we are both americans, but unlike him, my citizenship has never been challenged. his willingness to stand up and fight made the difference for his struggles. my humble thanks. we must stand together. we are a nation of immigrants. what kind of nation are we to be with stateless children born to no country? >>so one possible workaround to this ruling is the filing of class action lawsuits, which many immigrant rights groups did today. we have seen the videos of stores broken into and damaged over and over and over again. but it turns out crimes like these may not only be hurting businesses in oakland, but also the city's bottom line. our kara saint-cyr has more on a new study that says a lack of public safety is
7:06 pm
directly impacting oakland's budget crisis. >>we have some shrimp tacos and fish tacos to feel very terrible. and then, like i said, it's very stressful to like, trying to run a business and having, like, so many robberies. >>oswaldo sanchez's restaurant in oakland has been broken into 22 times between 2016 and >>2024. we changed the lock because he also was broken so many times that, you know, the lock didn't work anymore, so we had to change >>that. each break in cost him thousands of dollars fixing windows and doors. but he also loses out on customers. >>people are feeling unsafe. you know, they don't want to go out to eat because, they're not feeling >>safe. a new report from the bay area council economic institute shows that crime, like sanchez experiences, is linked to oakland's budget crisis. >>oakland can't get out of its budget
7:07 pm
crisis if it doesn't first solve its public safety crisis. >>jeff belisario, one of the authors of the report and the executive director of the council, says data shows that oakland's budget woes often keep police underfunded, which he says comes with dire economic consequences. >>more than half of oakland residents are actually leaving the city to do their shopping, right. so that has an impact on sales tax. when we ask people across the east bay how they feel about oakland, nearly three quarters say they're avoiding oakland's restaurants, bars, entertainment options because they don't feel safe. >>the report highlighted 13 recommendations, including suggestions for loosening police oversight and increased funding for opd, something sanchez thinks would help his business. >>if it is more more secure on the streets, more police outside. i think that that's also going to help a little bit in terms of, robberies. more secure, you know, more secure for for the city. >>for him, the report was a validation of what he's
7:08 pm
experienced, and he says change can't come fast enough. >>police reform groups have been critical of the report, saying they disagree with the conclusions formed by the bay area council economic institute. some undercover stings by san jose police led to a huge haul of illegal fireworks. police arrested three people and seized more than 3,000 pounds of illegal fireworks between two homes and a storage facility on west capitol expressway. officers also found about 50 improvised explosives, which they say are hundreds, if not thousands of times more powerful than commercial grade fireworks. >>these people are distributing dangerous items. they could end up in the wrong hands. they could cause injury, major injury and potentially death. while we want everyone to enjoy the 4th of july holiday and the weekend with their loved ones, we want them to celebrate responsibly and legally. >>police say they hope to make more arrests as the investigation continues. the valkyries have grown a huge following as the nba's newest
7:09 pm
team. how they're making space for queer women in their fan base. somewhere along the line. and oakland's airport is changing its name again. but will it clear up confusion. >>as we head into the last weekend in june, temperatures warmed up to about 4 to 8 degrees above average at least inland, mid 80s in san jose and low to mid 90s for santa rosa and concord. we'll keep some of that heat around as we head into the weekend. we've got details on that in a cool 4th of july forecast coming up in first (♪♪) make the most of your summer... ...with the kia summer sticker sales event. because now's the time to buy. so visit your local kia dealer and look out for these stickers to take advantage of great deals.

the mission to enjoy music and community before the march down to the tenderloin, organizers say. unlike the pride parade on sunday, that's all about celebration. they do want to make sure that people know this march is an act of resistance. >>it's powerful to see people begin to come together to show a force, and it gives me fuel for my revolutionary optimism that says there is a time where we will be free from systems of oppression. >>the march is roughly two miles from dolores park, ending around 8 p.m. at the corner of turk and taylor. it is followed by an after party at el rio, beginning at nine in bernal. it is also pride night for the golden state valkyries tonight at chase center, and queer fans are celebrating the team for welcoming them not just during pride month, but all season long. our kelsi thorud has that story. >>for many lgbtq people, specifically queer women, going to a valkyries game is an experience unlike much else. you know the representation to see ourselves being able to come
7:14 pm
out and be a part of the community, with just ease and joy. queer women have long made up a significant portion of the wnba fan base. recent studies show upwards of a quarter of all wnba fans identify as lesbians. it's not surprising at all. we just got this brilliant moment to all meet up somewhere where we all belong and we can all fit, you know, and come together and celebrate. audacious wilson and valerie trout are two valkyrie superfans doing what they can to connect the lgbtq fan base. you know, kind of a meetup so that people can come out, enjoy the games, the away games especially. and they're not alone. since the valkyrie season started, several lgbtq fan groups have popped up, including the valkyries headed up by megan doherty baker. it just feels like this could be kind of big in terms of how many numbers we've got and the
7:15 pm
diversity that the group can have and what it can look like, and all the different ways that we can engage and connect with each other. it kind of feels like sky's the limit right now. the valkyries have already hosted several events and are planning more and more every week. as someone who's been a basketball fan for decades, lucy bledsoe told me, it's wonderful to see both the connections fans are making with each other and the support the wnba is giving to their lgbtq fan base. it's amazing. i remember the early women's professional leagues where they tried really hard to say, hey, we're straight, we're straight. i literally saw, i think it was the the pioneers did a game where at halftime they did a heterosexual marriage. you know, they they were so afraid of the queer audience and now they're just opening their hearts and doors. every wnba team is hosting a pride night this season, including the valkyries. it's something fans love to see and hope will help to create lasting connections long after
7:16 pm
the season ends. it's just it's unreal. it's unbelievable that this arena, this platform, is giving us this space to build so much more community. >>we are so excited to have you watch our pride special this sunday on pix plus. we have been hard at work on this project. we're going to highlight members of the lgbtq community who are making a big difference here in the bay area. this all starts at 10 a.m. sunday on pix plus. all right. obviously pride weekend is a weekend >>of activities >>we saw starting today. weather >>seems >>to be cooperating. >>can be pretty good. i mean there's going to be some fog in the city. it's late >>june. >>it's what we expect. june gloom and then no sky july. but there's going to be some sunshine peeking through. temperatures should be pretty close to normal for this time of year, so no interference, at least from mother nature. no windy conditions like we had last >>weekend. >>let's take a look at how things are going to shape up here in the big picture. and what we're going to see overall is the warmer than average
7:17 pm
pattern for most of the bay area continuing as we head into the weekend. so that inland heat especially is going to be just in place for tomorrow and even on sunday, even though our temperatures back down a bit, this is the temperature representation from today. and you can see all that heat through the central valley. but let's jump to monday and you notice a big change. the marine air gets farther and farther inland around the bay area, and even the heat in the central valley is going to subside to at least some extent. it never really fully goes away this time of year, but everybody is in for a cool down as we head towards the 4th of july. we'll get into that in just a second. looking outside right now, well, we still have that inland warmth. i think you can even call it heat in concord, 90 degrees still as of 7 p.m., still holding on to around 80 degrees in livermore and santa rosa, you're back down to the low 70s in san jose. so back to windows, open weather and cooling off rapidly in san francisco down to 60 after a high temperature for the first time all month of 70 degrees in the city. now we've dropped about ten degrees and temperatures will level off in the low to mid 50s for most of us by early tomorrow morning,
7:18 pm
let's track the fog, which is redeveloping at the coast as we speak, but it's really going to be confined to the coast for most of tonight. later, after midnight, it's going to make a little run across the bay into the berkeley hills and some push into the north bay valleys, but it's not going to take long once the sun comes up for that fog to back up to along the coast, and even pulling away from the coast as we head towards late morning tomorrow, the additional sunshine not going to warm temperatures up to any great extent right along the coast, but away from the water. temperatures are going to be on the toasty side. once again, let's take a look at those forecast highs for tomorrow. and in the santa clara valley we're going to see highs ranging from the upper 80s. in san jose it's running about 4 or 5 degrees above normal to the low 90s in los gatos and morgan hill, also about 4 or 5 degrees above normal east of the oakland hills into the low to mid 90s. maybe a degree or two cooler than today, but still in the 80s for fremont and redwood city. temperatures in san francisco and oakland, 60s and 70s, just 1 or 2 degrees above normal. so that's kind of the theme. 1 or 2 degrees above average by the water, about 4 to 6 degrees above average farther inland,
7:19 pm
which means you go from the 70s in san rafael to the mid 80s for petaluma and santa rosa to the low 90s in healdsburg. the farther and farther inland you go. weather for the pride parade on sunday is looking pretty good overall. i would expect plenty of low cloud cover and fog, but i think as we head into the afternoon we are going to see more and more sunshine peeking through with temperatures climbing up into the low to mid 60s. by sunday afternoon, maybe a touch below average in san francisco, but for the second half of the weekend, other parts of the bay area are still going to be on the warm side. so let's take a look at the seven day forecast and we'll start inland, where we're going to see the most variation in our temperatures over the next several days, from the 90s to the 80s, and then to the 70s. by thursday and friday, mid 70s for the 4th of july. that is unusually cool for inland parts of the bay area, but that's the way things have been trending for a little while now. and that cooler than normal pattern is generally associated with a deeper marine layer and a more stubborn bank of fog, and that could have an impact on fireworks displays. with bayside high temperatures on the fourth only in the mid
7:20 pm
60s and at the coast. well, as the marine layer gets deeper and deeper, the fog gets really stubborn. we'll see a mix of clouds and sunshine this weekend. more clouds by monday, tuesday and wednesday, and then plenty of fog by thursday. and for the 4th of july, a foggy fourth in store for >>us. sarah. all right, we'll be prepared for it. at least the blocked view for sure. redecorate your place for free. up next, what's behind this furniture giveaway in the east bay? and the story of a woman who gave up her home to live
7:23 pm
oakland's international airport is changing its name again. the port of oakland announced it will be called the oakland san francisco bay airport. officials say it puts oakland first while highlighting its central location in the bay area. the board will consider adopting the new name during its july 10th meeting, but just last year it was renamed san francisco bay oakland international airport. and you might remember, the city of san francisco sued for trademark infringement, saying it was likely to cause confusion about airports for passengers. a judge temporarily blocked the use of that name. the san francisco city attorney's office says it just learned about the new name, and they say they are assessing next steps to ensure sfo's trademark is protected. read what you will into that. it is a deal every shopper looking for a bargain can get behind free
7:24 pm
furniture. fridays are back at habitat for humanity's restore concord. shoppers can take home anything with a purple tag for free, including couches, desks, home decor and other household goods. at the store, we talked to veronica, who says interactions between other shoppers have been good so far, even if they both had their eye on the same thing. >>it feels very community oriented. everybody is happy. so i even made friends with somebody who took the other the love seat for the couch i got, and they're going to call me if they decide to not keep it. so >>habitat for humanity says the giveaway allows them to clear up inventory for new donations. imagine retiring on a cruise ship. 77 year old sharon lane from california is doing just that. she moved into the via v odyssey in mid june. she's been traveling the world ever since. she even made a stop here in the bay area. as you saw, cabins are sold on a permanent basis starting at $129,000. lane says while it's not cheap,
