renewable energy and construction. the plan also commits to investing in green spaces, clean energy and protecting travis air force base. >> we want it to be a partner that can make the base stronger. >> sramek says he's locating this new community seen here in blue outside of travis noise and safety zones, which are colored in yellow on this map and nearly doubling the current security buffer around travis, which is colored in green. on this map, we are permitting solar farms in that area, but we have expressly given travis a veto and an approval on the technology to be used in those solar farms, those solar farms, if built, would supply enough clean power to power the equivalent of 1.5 million homes. sramek says. one of the largest stressors on travis is the cost of housing for military personnel. >> we would be building a community that provides affordable homes of all different types that particularly young families are having to. travis can afford california forever launched a series of financial assistance programs to help families and

students with affordability. >> this includes $400 million for down payment assistance and $70 million for college scholarships. >> we are proposing a connected network of complete neighborhoods. this would feature, as gabe has mentioned, jobs, housing, retail, and all the services from barbershops and cafes to grocery stores, health care providers, workspaces and public parks all within 5 to 10 minute walk. >> according to this map, the orange area would be the neighborhood mixed use zone, where there would be a mix of townhomes and apartments from 3 to 6 stories. the pink area would be the downtown zone. the darkest purple is the industry and technology zone. the light purple would be a maker and manufacture zone. >> the initiative commits to ten acres of open space per 1000 residents, but congressman john garamendi, who recently had a sit down meeting with sramek, isn't sold on the plans. >> but basically what they want to do is to extend the urban sprawl from from the sunset district of san francisco all

the way through solano county. come on guys, your plan doesn't work. and by the way, where's the water? >> so where is the water? >> we have enough water for our new community. >> california forever says it's currently undergoing a water supply assessment and verification. >> both of these are regulated under state law and require us to prove that we have enough water for every home that we bring online for the next 30 to 40 years. this includes drought conditions, bottom line is there's no water. >> they have no real water plan. they don't have a bucket to hold water as far as transportation. >> the company says they plan on constructing a new double lane road off of highway 12. that would help divert traffic coming from i-80. >> those are rural roads. who's going to pay for that? >> a big question now before any of this would move forward, voters would have to approve it in november. the initiative needs roughly 14,000 signatures just to get on the ballot. and

in order for it to pass, it needs just over 50% of the vote. so come early november, we'll know a lot more. >> yeah, water is not an afterthought. that's a big deal. a huge deal. >> and as you heard yan explain, you know, they're very in the early stages of that process. okay >> thanks, stephanie, a lot more. >> thanks. >> all right. the return of the vhs tape. dan, you remember we've got those i know flying around. you still love as shopping malls turn into ghost towns, there could soon be a new way to spend the 44 is

mean in an instant. and it's not perfect but it's we're just at the infancy of this technology. >> i kind of like the summarizing emails. unless it misses something, can it get rid of emails altogether? like weed out the ones we don't want? that would be great. >> the scientific discovery component. sandy is extremely important, and that, you know it's going to be able to analyze data far faster than people can absolutely. >> and i think it'll play a critical role in the future of where things are going in the scientific world. so i think that is very fascinating. personally but i do agree with with, um, kristen in that, you know, i mean, there are a lot of things that need to be worked out still. >> well, yeah, like so many advancements in technology, there's also a downside, and there's a lot of concern of course, about what the downside and the risk could be. the fcc wants tv customers to be compensated for programing blackouts, as rebates could be issued by cable or satellite television providers if they fail to reach agreements to carry local broadcast stations, resulting in blackouts. the proposal would still need approval, of course, but i'ma

start with you. hey, i'm all for this. if you're paying for a service and you're hoping to see the game or whatever gets blacked out, yeah, why not compensate people? i paid for something. i couldn't get it. yes, this just happened to us. >> actually. we went to my dad's for christmas. we're all set. oh, we're going to watch the niners on abc on christmas day. and then. oh, actually, you know what? dish network is in a dispute. so i haven't had abc for a while. what? so we're thinking which bar are we going to on christmas day to watch the game? i mean it's ridiculous. it is. >> it is. and it's frustrating. sandy and kristen. >> absolutely. i mean and ama has every right to be like, what the heck? that's right. >> i mean, when we get the programing, they make us pay for it when we don't. >> right? because that's within their control. right? there's no deal, for example. so like if when airline let's say is something within their control, not whether they don't get me to my destination, i'm delayed. i incur costs. i do expect them to compensate. right? >> yeah. out of their control. right? >> yeah. all right. apparently a lot of consumers wish they could shop directly from their tv.

we're not talking about qvc kind of shopping. a new survey from lg found that 53% of connected tv users say they wish tv ads had a quick option to buy immediately, and even more, wish they could look at brand inventory on their tv. danger. that's a disaster. >> danger. >> but who's even watching the ads? i mean, on certain, you know, streaming. >> i can see the day where, you know, you're watching a tv show and you go, wow, what she's wearing is so cute. and you just like, point your remote at it and then they'll tell you what brand and where you can buy it and send you the links. >> that's what i thought it was going to be. i think it will be like it's already dangerous enough just with your phone to be able to shop so easily and quickly. >> but if you're laying in bed and you're watching something and you're like, oh, i really like that, what you're going to go get up and go scan the qr code. >> and i mean, no, no, no, you're lying in bed. you just go like this, click. >> yeah. so i mean, it might be a convenience thing, you know, and it might actually help people. oh yeah. >> certainly help the businesses

drain their wallets. all right. well, all things are old are new again. first it was vinyl. made a big comeback. now vhs, believe it or not, here's abc news reporter danny new vhs never left. >> there has always been people watching vhs tapes. >> josh shafer here runs lunchmeat, a magazine and releasing label dedicated to the increasing number of folks who still love popping in a good old vhs. vhs has a particular feel to it. >> i think that people like the physicality of it to generate the 1.21gw of electricity, 21gw just a few summers ago, a copy of back to the future sold at auction. for $75,000. >> and a copy of the goonies was listed on ebay for 125,000. >> there's a vibe, there's an esthetic to it. it is important to preserve that look and to show it to new generations. >> i can't wait to tell my kids how often i taped american idol. >> three favorite movies go uh- the apartment. >> sure, shows like stranger things have also turned up the nostalgia. cause baby, now we

come back. an artist like taylor swift continue to dominate in vinyl sales. before last christmas, luminate reported that more than 2 million vinyls were sold in one week. clear folks have a hankering to own their favorite pieces of media again. >> okay, if you have a collector's item, that's one thing like the back to the future vhs and vinyl is totally different. i've kind of recently got back into collecting some vinyl, but that's a different experience. you can put it on the turntable and play what you want with a vhs tape. the rewinding, the back and forth. it's clumsy. i don't think that's going to catch up. >> i agree, and i guess i'm all about my dad today, but he recently gave me some vhs tapes of, i think like marching band competitions from when i was in high school. like, what am i going to do with these? i can't even watch them, but yet i hold on to them, digitize them. >> that's right. digitize them? >> yes. you think this, sandy? it's a little like a cassette tapes or eight tracks. i just don't see it making a big comeback. >> they're very outdated. i

mean, i converted some very important ones years ago. diane um, and so they're now on dvd, so i don't have to worry about them, but. yeah it's something i mean, what's old is new all the time, right? we see that with fashion too. >> but remember how fun it was, you know, years ago when you would go to blockbuster on a saturday night and like, oh my gosh, they have a copy of it. >> yeah. >> and now it's easy to get it whenever you want. it's much more convenient. but there was a certain thrill to putting it in your hand and leaving the store with it. still not going to catch on. no >> not exactly. sorry you guys. >> i was just thinking the only cassette tape i have left. this is not vhs. i have a lot of disney movies on vhs, but a cassette tape is me practicing diction when i was just starting my career. >> oh, wow. oh, you should say that. >> maybe just for fun and kicks, i'll play for you guys. >> yeah, that's a good thing. that's actually a great thing to say for school. all right, that's it for this edition of

when i was your age, we never had anything like this. what? wifi? wifi that works all over the house. even the basement. the basement. so i can finally throw that party... and invite shannon barnes. dreams do come true. get started with xfinity gig internet for $25 a month when you add mobile with no annual contract. maybe we'll even get married one day. i wonder what i will be doing? probably still living here with mom and dad. fast, reliable speeds right where you need them. that's wall-to-wall wifi on the xfinity 10g network. this election is a choice between results or just rhetoric. californians deserve a senator who is going to deliver for them every day and not just talk a good game.

it's a thursday practice, but really getting so close to kickoff. i'm sorry. it is wednesday. it's a thursday practice in the football world. that's how they treat it. head coach kyle shanahan tossing the ball around at practice. so is qb one brock purdy back in the postseason after a stellar second season. the stanford man christian mccaffrey. he had an mvp type year. he'll be a huge factor this postseason, as will linebacker dre greenlaw limited in practice. he's been dealing with an achilles tendinitis, but he should be good to go on saturday night. at this point, it's win or go home. every player is motivated to reach and win the super bowl, and 40 niners tight end george kittle told me today. a special family member encourages him every step of the way. i saw correctly. your grandma turning 100, 101 years old. baby, is she going to be at the game? and what kind of motivation does she still provide for you? i as she still keeps going. >> she was in arizona for our game against the cardinals. i don't know, i don't think she's coming to this game. who knows. you know, if the niners faithful want her back, we'll figure out something. but um, she always shoots me a text like, hey, good

job. she watches every game. so just the fact that, um, you know, i'm 100, 101 year old grandma who still watches everything that i do, it's pretty special. >> texts and texts. you can text at 101. >> she just stopped driving, like, a year ago. so the things you can do in small town iowa, guys, it's a little bit different than here. >> uh, pretty impressive stuff. she actually just texted me and said that was a great live shot. chris, i'm just kidding. george kittle, he is a national treasure and it's good to see him and i hope his grandma can make it out. i didn't get a chance to get her name, but through some google research it looked like her nickname at least was lucky. the 40 niners hoping they can get lucky this postseason and win super bowl number six. hopefully get grandma out here to a game at levi's. she was here last postseason. the fans loved her. >> oh, i remember that will be fun. let's hope so. thanks, chris. yes >> governor gavin newsom has come out against a bill that would ban youth tackle football in california. newsom says he will veto the bill if it's approved by the legislature. the bill would prohibit tackling for football players under the age of 12. medical studies have shown that repeated hits to the head can lead to behavioral

problems, and memory loss later in life. a planned protest against the bill at the state capitol today turned into a victory celebration. some touted youth tackle football as critical for keeping kids out of trouble. >> this legislation will push more people, especially black and brown youth, through the school, to prison pipeline by taking away mentors, community, brotherhood and family. >> a five year old california law already mandates extra training for coaches and limits full contact practices for youth. >> all right, let's go back and talk about the weather which is going to get intense again soon. >> yeah. all right. sandy, what are we looking at? well our next storm gets here friday afternoon and evening. >> kristen and dan. and then after that, we have more storms coming. so let me show you what you can expect for the weekend. saturday. some scattered showers going into that 5:00 time period when the niners take on the packers and then another storm comes in sunday. going into monday, that's a stronger one with the heaviestrillionain late

sunday night going into early monday, we have another system that will come through here going into tuesday. so you see where we're going here. one storm after another. and all of this will add up when you look at the projections through tuesday, some parts of the bay area looking at 4 to 5in of rain, mainly the coastal hills and the north bay. now it's not going to be a big snow maker through tuesday in the sierra. it's because the snow levels will be really high, but they will get some snow. donner 20in, kirkwood 17in. they are expect a rain snow mix really going in through middle of next week on live doppler seven. we have a level one coming first and that will bring us some light spotty showers. friday but it's more in the afternoon and evening that we'll see the heavier rain and the stronger winds. tomorrow afternoon. highs will be in the 50s and 60s, mostly cloudy. accuweather seven day forecast. tomorrow is your last dry day and then a storm impact scale every single day. friday through wednesday. strongest sunday monday. and that's a level two. dan kristen thank you sandhya. >> morning. the loss of a member

of the warriors family. >> we'll be right back

which led to the postponement of tonight's warriors game against the jazz. >> abc seven sports director larry beil is here with us again to talk more about. boy, just anyone who's ever been

associated with him is just so troc. >> so yeah. yeah, i've talked with a number of people today and everybody's feeling the same emotion. everybody's just crushed and stunned. a sense of sadness throughout the entire warriors organization. the endearing image of the man known as coach deck is a smile. you could see it over my shoulder. i mean, he brought joy and fun to everybody. coach deck, he joined the warriors three years ago from serbia, was a star player there, spent eight years as a head coach in serbia, the former warriors general manager bob myers now works for espn. and just minutes ago was fighting back tears, talking about coach deck. >> it hurts. he's um. it's just hard because, um, when you when you work with these people, um, especially for coaches. malika it you people say it, but you see them more than your family. you do you develop a closeness. um and it's just hard because he was this bigger than life

person, and he, he would light up a room and i just. it's such a loss because he's gone. and, um, i just feel so bad for his children. and. his wife and the people that work with him because. and know him and knew him, um, he left a he left a huge mark on everybody that he crossed paths with, including me . >> you can really feel the emotion there from bob myers, brandon poganski, who is a warriors rookie, posted his thoughts saying, quote, you changed my life in such a short time. the most important thing you ever told me was to just smile your joy and laughs will forever be missed. shine down on us from heaven and rest in peace . and i think that says it all right there. it's a it's a rough time. the warriors tonight's game obviously was canceled in utah. they're going to be flying back uh probably right now actually they play friday night.

they play friday against dallas. and that's going to be a difficult emotional night as well. i'm sure they'll have a video tribute for coach deck, but what an impact. >> in just three years to hear in this. yeah on this organization age 46. >> just too young too young. thanks, larry. >> yeah for sure. well basketball is next as the mavericks take on the lakers. >> that's followed by after the game at nine. it's a special edition of abc seven news at ten, wheel of fortune and jeopardy. and then abc seven news at 11. that's a for abc seven news at four. i'm kristen sze and i'm dan ashley. >> we appreciate your time for sandyha patel. larry biel basketball's next. we'll see you basketball's next. we'll see you later tonight. wells fargo gives you an extra day grace period to avoid the overdraft fee. what if everything came with a grace period? like accidentally parking where you shouldn't...
