6:01 pm
losing one storefront. the city has been renting for them. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena has followed the band's impact for months now. since the beginning, really, and joins us live from the newsroom with reaction, luz that's right. >> dion. after the initial street ban, the city rented two locations, giving street vendors options to sell on mission street away from the sidewalks. one of those locations is called la placita, which is technically a parking lot on 24th street. the second location is an actual storefront called el tiangge. that's the one the city will close this month. another for change for the street vendors on mission street. this time, the city has decided to close down the tianguis store, where at least seven of them set up shop every day. we don't have any more surprises because we go through a lot of things right now. >> it's just another step. >> the city rented the storefront last year to offer vendors a place to sell indoors. during the first street ban this year, the city extended the ban and the lease.
6:02 pm
>> the first allocation was around $100,000 for the first three months. that included operation costs, rent, anything and staffing. on a given day, you see 5 to 10 vendors in there . the place has a capacity for 45 uh. they continue to say that sales are slow, because of the location of the president, of the street vendors association said the site simply didn't work. >> so the change was not the right approach. >> exactly. there was no the right thing for us, the city tried. they tried to do it marketing. they tried to do the best doing marketing, announced and everywhere. and it doesn't work. >> one of those vendors, manuel soltero, was not surprised by the city's decision. >> well, for me, it's the same. closer. no, close. because i not sell nothing. >> tito ledesma is not looking forward to the other location. he said. the city is now putting more limitations on them. >> domingo nunez sunday and monday you won't be able to sell over there.
6:03 pm
>> all the vendors are being asked to move to the outdoor location on 24th street. after april 21st, but even the vendors there say business is still bad. pero 300ft from the mission. but people don't come here. they're hoping for the city to intervene, many saying they still have the permits to sell legally on mission street. santiago lerma, with the department of emergency management confirmed the city is looking into laws that could change to allow for local enforcement to tackle illegal fencing and let permitted vendors sell on mission again. what i'm hearing today is that vendors are looking into potentially working with the city to be able to go out and sell again on mission street. >> yes, that is what they've desired. they've made that clear to us that they're priority is to return to mission street. so we're working with them to review any possibilities or how that would work. >> the latest street vending ban is set to expire in august, but as we heard, the city is working with state representatives to find a solution that would tackle illegal fencing that
6:04 pm
still happening at night and allow permanent vendors to do business on mission in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news the saga continues. >> luis, thank you. >> a controversial proposal to rename oakland airport comes up for a vote tomorrow. a live look at the abc seven oakland airport camera right now, the port of oakland's board of commissioners could change the airport's name to san francisco bay. oakland airport officials say it will help travelers better understand where the airport is geographically and boost business. as a result, the idea is adamantly opposed, though, by san francisco international and san francisco city officials. they've threatened to sue and say the name change will confuse travelers. oakland airport's top brass and top boss tells us he does not think there will be confusion. >> we really feel as though their confusion is not is not going to be an issue for us. we serve different markets from between san francisco and oakland. this is about bringing jobs, bringing good paying jobs
6:05 pm
to the oakland area. this is about bringing people to the oakland area. it's really about showcasing what's happening here in the region. with oakland being the center point. >> tomorrow's port of oakland board meeting starts at 330. >> the uc regents announced cal's next chancellor today, and he is a familiar face on campus. rich lyons is a well-known economist and former dean of the haas school of business. the 63 year old is a cal alum, and the campus's current leader for innovation and entrepreneurship. he said one thing he'll really focus on as chancellor is inclusion. >> every one of our students, every student, has a need and a right to feel like they belong. at berkeley and to feel like they're respected at berkeley. i feel like i've got some some instruments and some perspective that once, you know, bounced off and tested with my, my colleagues and so forth that we can we can push forward in some fresh ways. >> lyons will take the reins after chancellor carol christ steps down in july
6:06 pm
>> a tough day on wall street today and potential bad news for stocks heading into first quarter earnings season. a higher than expected march inflation report sent stocks down. the dow lost 420 points. the nasdaq dropped 136 and the s&p 500 went down nearly 50. on that inflation report, the labor department says the consumer price index increased at a year over year rate of 3.5% in march. that's the highest annual gain in the last six months. economists say it's a domino effect. >> the things that we pay for outside of the grocery store also affect the money we have left to spend on groceries, right? so if we have to spend more on gasoline, if our auto insurance becomes more expensive, if our housing becomes more expensive. >> well, the cost of auto insurance was up 2.6% last month compared to last year, up a whopping 22. and one of the
6:07 pm
factors driving inflation up a rise in gas prices statewide. it's 5.39 a gallon, according to triple a in san francisco. 565 cheaper in san jose. that's at $5.50 a gallon. abc seven news reporter ryan curry gets to the bottom of the rising costs. >> tick tick tick. that meter keeps on rising. it's frustrating for drivers. >> what can you do? there's nothing you can do. it's over $6. >> i was like, man, it's a little bit too much right now. >> that's right. in some spots in the east bay, a gallon of gas is either $6 or close to it. fill ups are costing drivers a fortune in the whole tank. >> cost me about 6570. so i mean, i'm just getting a quick fill up just to get back on the other side. sir why are prices so high in the bay area? >> tom kloza, the head of energy analysis at the oil price information service, says there are two main reasons. the first, local refineries are focusing more on maintenance than production. >> you've got refinery
6:08 pm
maintenance that's scheduled for chevron at richmond. you've got refinery maintenance for chevron uh- at el segundo in the south, and you have refinery maintenance for pbf, which operates the martinez refinery. >> and the second reason, a recent change at the phillips 66 refinery, one of the refineries that was contributing about 50,000 barrels a day gasoline uh- is now no longer making gasoline. gas prices in california are up $0.50 just in the last month, while the rest of the country is only dealing with a 30 cent increase. and kloza says prices will keep going up in the next 40 days, but they should start to drop in the summer. however, he says if any refinery experiences any issue in the coming months, prices could rise again. if you have a problem with the refinery in benicia or wilmington in the south or whatever, you could really have, some pretty severe issues. for now. drivers say they will just have to budget accordingly. >> i've been seeing it slowly
6:09 pm
increase, but it's now it's a little bit too much. $6 is kind of crazy in the east bay. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. >> in washington, d.c. today, women known as rosie the riveters were honored for their support of the nation during world war two. >> remember these four little words? we can do it >> nearly 30 rosies from across the country were presented with the congressional gold medal today. rosie represented the millions of women who worked in factories and shipyards during wartime to make the rosie the riveter congressional gold medal a reality. >> they hammered members as they cajoled members but thankfully never had to weld them to support the legislation. >> many of these women celebrated today are from the bay area. the rosie the riveter national historical park is in richmond. their congressional gold medal will be kept at the smithsonian institution in. so wonderful to see them together like that today. >> well, the tightest race in
6:10 pm
the march primary, ending up sending three candidates to the november general election. but a recount could change that. next, the politics involved in making sure every vote counts, plus not quite a needle in a haystack, but a search for a whale in the bay. >> the first step is to find it. the next step to free it. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. it felt like summer today. i'll let you know how long the warmth will last before it turns wet, chilly and breezy. >> your complete forecast is coming up when

by anna eshoo, evan lowe, and joe simitian ended up in a historic tie for second place in the march primary. look at that. i mean, vote for vote. they will both move on to the november election and go up against sam liccardo unless the tie is broken in a recount. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes spoke with one of the people who filed a recount request, and joins us live in san jose. zach, this has been fascinating ever since election night twists and turns at every corner. >> dan, now recount, of course, could be time consuming, it could be costly and ultimately it could change who we see on that november general election ballot. >> do you have a three person runoff in november instead of a two person runoff or so? >> it initially seemed in the district 16 congressional race, but now there have been recount requests by two voters in the two counties within the congressional district. >> the person who has the most at stake is probably, sam liccardo, who is betting that he
6:14 pm
would have a better chance in a two person race than in a three person runoff. >> registrars confirm that the santa clara county recount was requested by jonathan padilla. according to his linkedin profile. he was a policy and finance director for liccardo's 2014 san jose mayoral campaign. he released what he said would be his only statement on the matter on social media, saying in part, our democracy is resilient. when we put people above politics and our laws are designed to protect the will of the people. let's count every vote. evan lo's campaign issued a statement saying in part, there's zero doubt that sam liccardo orchestrated this recount and padilla's declaration that the recount is on our campaign's behalf is simply disingenuous. liccardo's campaign did not claim any connection to the recount request, but sent us a statement saying in part, every vote should be counted. and that's why recounts are part of the state's electoral process to ensure accuracy. as for joe simitian, he said, quote, eventually this process will work itself out. my job is to stay focus on how i can best represent the folks in our district, and that's what i'm
6:15 pm
doing. a person filing a recount request has to select a candidate and pay for it themselves. if it's found that the candidate they selected won, they would be reimbursed. i spoke with dan stedingk, who requested the recount in san mateo county. he said he is not connected to any of the congressional campaigns, but chose low in his recount request. he said he believes there should only be a two person race in the general election. >> statistically, very unlikely that these guys would tie, i like to say, you know, the counties can't even keep track of how many cars they have, much less count the same number twice . >> now, the santa clara county registrar's office tells me that they reviewed both recount requests. they can confirm that they are valid, and they plan to start recount activities on monday. if they get the first day's deposit on that overall payment. >> let's talk about the payment for a second. zach, how much can a recount cost? if you would walk us through that? >> well, it depends on the recount that's requested. the type. there's a machine recount which is less expensive. and then there's the manual recount, which is more expensive because
6:16 pm
it's more time consuming. that could go up to ten days. and in santa clara county alone, that could be upwards of $320,000. now nick, who you heard from in the story there, asked for a machine recount. he says he's willing to foot the bill for that. >> okay, zach, thanks very much. we'll see what happens. thanks, zach. >> the epa is setting the first ever limits for so-called forever chemicals in drinking water. the limits will regulate pfas, which have contaminated water sources across the country and are linked to cancer and other health problems. pfas includes six synthetic chemicals that are found in a number of industrial and personal products, things from food packaging to frying pans, dental floss and even makeup. the chemicals break down slowly over time, hence the nickname forever chemicals. the epa believes these new limits will protect about 100 million people from exposure. the epa has concluded that, you know
6:17 pm
lives will be saved and tens of thousands of cases of severe disease will be prevented. the federal government has put aside billions of dollars as part of an infrastructure plan to help pay for filtration and upgrading water systems. foggy weather along the san mateo county coast is slowing down the search for a gray whale in distress. the whale was first spotted off the orange county coast last month, with a long strand of gill net tied around its tail. this is video of when the whale was spotted yesterday off pacifica before four biologists lost sight of it. marine biologists want to find, tag and track that whale. and when the weather gets better, eventually cut the gill net to free it. >> poor thing. i hope we hope they can find him and get the okay netting free. all right, let's turn our attention now to the weather forecast. a gorgeous today. hope you got outside some, but things will change. >> yeah, the turn is sharp and it is coming soon. sandy. >> it is indeed. dan and dion, you really have one more day to just get outside and take

6:25 pm
journey that started when vanderveer took over the stanford program in 1985. >> vanderveer remembers the conversation she had with her father when she took the job. >> he proceeded to tell me that it was an impossible to win at stanford, and the job was a graveyard job. my father was right about one thing the stanford job involved digging, but instead of a graveyard job, it has been a gold mine job, one featuring many final four appearances. >> national championships, and the most wins of any college basketball coach ever. but vanderveer said, what's even more important than the victories were the people. that feeling is mutual. with her players and fellow coaches. >> she's meant a lot to me over the years. she's been a uh, first a coach and then a mentor and a friend and colleague and everything that you could want in a in a coaching relationship. >> as people say, she's the goat. she's one of the greatest of all time. and i think, you know, now that she's stepping back, she'll really receive the flowers that she deserves. but just me personally, i'm super grateful to have been coached by
6:26 pm
her. >> vanderveer has made a lasting impact in basketball as a whole. there were no girls teams when she was growing up. now the game is more popular than ever. >> the game is more than 1 or 2 teams, or 1 or 2 or 1 or 2 players. and it's really it's really exciting to see kind of where we are, so i feel like i'm leaving it in a good place. >> she says coaching is rewarding, but it's hard work, and it was time for her to retire. the head coaching desk at stanford will be filled by new faces down the road in tara. vanderveer hopes the legacy that she leaves behind makes a difference. >> there is a young girl out there who will watch or read about stanford women's basketball, and her dad will say to her, basketball will take you everywhere. >> absolutely. and right behind me is the stanford hall of champions is a place that tara vanderveer has absolutely cemented herself here on campus. for now, live in stanford. dustin dawsey, abc seven news and i think we have to look ahead to the future on this because this head coach position
6:27 pm
has been, i guess, occupied for nearly four decades. >> dustin, do you have any idea when the head coach who will be named the new one? >> matter of fact, she was in the audience today sitting right in front of me at that press conference. for tara. it is going to be longtime assistant kate pay. they really stanford really wants to keep that continuity. obviously some 38 years running. they want to keep that same style. pay obviously has that with the last 17 years spending time as an assistant coach under vanderveer, and she even played for her in the 90s. so keeping that full uh- concept and that continuity going, while also bringing her own style and succeeding hopefully in the future for them. >> yeah, what a meaningful handoff that is to dustin. thank you. what a career. coming up next, homeless people's pets. >> the truth of their situation might actually surprise you. >> so these are these are my people. that's your family. this is my family. yeah >> pet owners and vets sh

saint of animals. we love dogs in the city, and while you might think that every dog needs a home, we actually found that's not always true. >> and as part of our efforts to build a better bay area, we're turning our attention to the homeless and their dogs and the care they both need. abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez joins us with this somewhat controversial issue. yeah, yeah. >> and you know, those those dogs were really cute, i have to say. but it is possible to care for the unhoused and also for their animals. you know, here in san francisco, we've had a free clinic for dogs. dogs whose owners are unhoused for about 30, 23 years or so as outreach workers were going out to treat people living on the streets, they found that some of them had pets who also needed care. the city of oakland recently did a sweep of a homeless encampment, finding a few dogs living outside. it's a picture that may infuriate some animal lovers. so we asked ourselves, does every dog have to live under a roof to
6:32 pm
be considered well taken care of ? we approached the first unhoused person we ran into who had not one but two dogs. their names baby girl and gypsy girl. what do you say to people who say you're not taking care of your dog properly because they're out on the street here? >> i tell them, like, i, i give them their shots. i have food for them. you feel me? they're being loved. they're being taken care of the right way. so just because your house doesn't mean that you're better than me. like the pets of the homeless. >> provided that they had, veterinary care, were healthy, were well fed the title of my book comes from that. that realization, that book titled my dog always eats first homeless people and their animals, was written by researcher doctor leslie irvine. >> admittedly, she was once critical of homeless people owning dogs, but changed her mind after interviewing more than 70 homeless people across 40 cities, as well as social workers and veterinarians. how
6:33 pm
about the front dewclaws doctor ilana strubel of san francisco, is one of the vets she interviewed for this clinic. >> we had 50 clients signed up 50, and each one has 1 to 2 pets. >> in 2001, struble began seeing pets who live with their homeless owners. today, through the program called vet sos. she sees their animals once a month for routine checkups in the spca parking lot. the program is run by the san francisco community clinic consortium. >> he's got something going on with this stomach, joseph baker adopted jillian after finishing a drug rehab program. there are people out there who don't take care of them. there are, but a good amount do take care of them. and, you know, and they are their children, precious and baby girl helped jamal thomas get through a rough time. >> i'm not sure if i would be here if i didn't have my dogs. that's how much they mean to me. how so, a few years back, when i
6:34 pm
got them, i was going through a really hard time. and the love, the unconditional love that they have for you, you know, how much they appreciate every little thing. it just it shows you that there's reasons to keep going. >> every unhoused person we spoke to had the same outlook. kimchi came into sarah sandoval's life after a divorce, and struggling with homelessness. imagine life without kimchi. she >> i don't know, i, i don't know where. >> i really don't know her. she's everything to me. >> my family is in another state , i don't get to talk to them or see them often. and it's hard all the time to be just, like around people, you know? so these are. these are my people. that's your family? this is my family? >> yeah. many of them take better care of their dogs than themselves. i've heard of you. seen that?
6:35 pm
>> we've seen that. the many are living unlimited funds. right. so they make choices. and a lot of them, do, you know, purchase things, food for their pets, over their own own needs. many times, vet sos offers their homeless clients dog items, medications and pet food. >> on fridays back to shy brown. she says the people she encounters on the street have more empathy for her dogs than for most humans. are you surprised when people tend to treat your dogs better than they treat you, or anyone who is unhoused? >> i don't mind that i don't, i don't because of the fact that they need just as much love as we do now. >> according to the author of that book, as a volunteer for the humane society, she came to realize that the animals who were brought in or surrendered came from perfectly solid homes and not from homeless people. now you know, you talk to people out there, they say that, you
6:36 pm
know, people love their animals, especially the homeless. and one of the homeless people, you know, said to me, i spend 24 hours with my dog. how many hours do you spend with your dog? and absolutely, i have to come to work. i leave the dog by himself. >> ten, 12 hours. i'm away from my home. >> yeah. you've given us a lot of perspective, liane. yeah, yeah. thank you. >> sure, the california legislature is the first in the country to seriously consider reparations for the legacy of slavery. and decades of policies that excluded and harmed black californians. one of the bills currently being considered is an apology to the black community. >> let's start with that apology. do you think that there is the political will here in the capitol to even get an apology passed? >> i think there is a will. i think we have a governor who understands the importance of apology now, and i hope our colleagues in the legislature, both in the assembly and the senate, will see the importance of that as well. >> if reparations in california stops there with the apology,
6:37 pm

6:41 pm
average size of an american hotel room. >> it's location, location, location. >> but the house might not be what people are paying for. instead it's the potential of a 7800 square foot lot. >> there's one thing that that we don't make anymore, and that's dirt residential real estate, particularly in the san francisco bay area, is it's unique. it's unique because, you know, there there are so few choices for buyers these days because sellers really like to live here. >> the home up for sale is at the end of a cul de sac, sandwiched between homes worth around $5 million, according to zillow. this home has has a lot of interest because of the lot size and the neighborhood. >> cupertino is really well known for its school district and great schools. >> maxwell ducklow is the buyer's agent. he says it's the smallest house that's been up for sale in cupertino in more than ten years. >> i imagine like a like i mentioned earlier, like an investor or a builder would look
