>> yeah, san mateo also. you're you're sliced off the edge there, but the eastbound traffic is backed up. that's the usual thing that you get this this time of the day. >> that's right. but today is the busiest day of the week. if you're flying to your destination with more than 53,000 flights scheduled, we have team coverage. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez is at sfo. but let's begin with abc news reporter jacqueline lee . >> the travel rush has begun this year's memorial day weekend, kicking off what tsa says will likely be the busiest start to the summer season on record, with the agency predicting more than 2.9 million people passing through airport checkpoints on thursday and friday. >> it's a pretty big increase from last year, and last year was a really big increase from the year before, so record volumes without question, the faa is expecting more than 53,000 planes in the sky. >> weather is also a major concern, with severe weather expected for much of the heartland, including dallas, oklahoma city and kansas city. jacqueline lee, abc news, los

angeles jacob lloyd flew into sfo from nashville on thursday morning, just in time for memorial day weekend. >> he's one of an estimated more than 755,000 people traveling through sfo this weekend, about 8% more than last year. >> the airports have been kind of busy since it is a holiday weekend, but i feel like it's been going pretty smooth. i got in and got out pretty smooth, so i mean, i'm not complaining. >> the travel rush comes as federal data shows sfo at the bottom of on time rankings nationally in february, sfo spokesperson doug yakel says runway construction and weather conditions made february more delay prone than previous years. as for the boost in holiday travelers, i think we continue to see post pandemic recovery happening and it's already mostly happened for the domestic sector, but really what we've been seeing over the past 12 months is a very meaningful recovery in the international

sector. >> a lot of airlines that had suspended flights during the covid pandemic are back at sfo, especially this year at sfo. >> gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> all right, let's take a look now at some of the hot weekend destinations. you see santa cruz, we have got to look at the monitors here. that picture is frozen. but it's gorgeous anyway. fisherman's wharf it's a wonderful, glorious sunny day. >> yeah. the sea lions like it. what can we expect this weekend? abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is here with your forecast. hey, sandhya. hi, there. >> yeah, and kristen and larry, we have some really nice weather ahead. let me show you a live picture. right now from our san jose camera. as you both just mentioned, it is bright and sunny across the region right now. temperatures have come down 59 in the city, 65 in oakland and 70s in san jose, 80s around brentwood, fairfield, 81 in santa rosa. as we check out those temperatures, they're down by a few degrees. four degrees cooler in half moon bay.

proposing spending reductions as well as a hiring freeze. and she says city services will not be affected. >> my budget will not reduce public safety. my budget will not close firehouses or libraries or recreation center or animal services. i will not cut cops. >> mayor tao is hoping to shore up employee salaries by selling the city's share of the oakland coliseum site for $105 million. that is a move that has been criticized by ■some financial analysts. meanwhile, the oakland police department's chase policy could be up for a change this week. the city council asked the civilian run police commission to study, changing that policy. right now, oakland officers are only allowed to chase violent and armed suspects, but residents have complained to city council members they want to see officers taking a more active role going after suspects. the commission is expected to report back to the council in september. >> retail theft continues to be a problem with business owners across california. some worry

weak laws don't truly deter criminals, but as abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains, some new bills may provide solutions to help cut down on crime and not just here in the bay area. >> reminder of retail crime. >> remain in san jose this batteries plus store was broken into not once, not twice, but three times back in 2022. since then, franchise owner neil dorward says other theft at the store has continued. >> it's, been a little bit, otherworldly that people can come in and take something and not get prosecuted, that just wasn't the way it was when i was growing up or even, you know, ten years ago. >> dorward says the repeat offenders who broke in through the back gate two years ago were identified, but never formally charged. now, relief for him and others in similar situations may soon be on the way. my bill, ab 3209 would provide a new enforcement tool that will keep

stores and workers safe from the rise of retail crime. the retail crime restraining order bill would allow the courts to authorize a restraining order to try and stop thieves at the door if someone has been convicted, received two or more citations, vandalized the store or assaulted an employee, that person could be legally barred from even stepping foot inside. >> and it creates a new tool for law enforcement to use and for our businesses to use to try to reduce the amount of retail crime, especially kind of repeat offenders. >> it's part of a bipartisan bill package that aims to curb crime statewide. berman says the bills would strengthen retail crime task forces, allow for crimes at different locations by one suspect to be grouped together for easier prosecution, as well as other tools to hold people accountable without being excessive between all seven bills. >> it's a really comprehensive approach, to trying to reduce retail theft and retail crime and especially organized retail crime. >> it's obviously a problem that needs to get addressed. and if both sides of the aisle are coming together, then everyone's recognized. this just can't keep going on. >> now that these bills have

passed through the assembly, it's off to the state senate. and then the governor's office, where they hope to be signed into law in september. just in time for the holiday shopping season in the south bay. dustin dorsey, abc seven news in the north bay health and wellness professionals say they're feeling sick about a planned fitness festival this weekend in santa rosa that appears to be just a scam. >> abc7 news reporter cornell bernard spoke with vendors who are feeling taken in by the event's promoter. >> it's a little bit like everett, like what? >> this is what's happening right now, performance artist cassandra hempel describing the moment when she realized a big fitness expo planned in santa rosa likely wasn't real. >> the main producer fell off of communicational bandwagon was really disheartening. >> norcal fit fest was scheduled for may 25th at the veterans memorial building, billed as a magical saturday packed with fitness, dance and health adventures. >> so people invested their time and their money. >> sonoma county health and wellness professionals like tristan saint germain were

contacted through social media in january by a man named john, asking if they would participate and pay between 90 and $120 through a paypal account for a booth at the festival. >> he said he was a philanthropist that has been retired and that he was helping his friends emily and jess, and that this was their event. tristan said it seemed legitimate. >> there was an event website and posts on instagram, but when it came time to meet john and secure the event space with a signed contract last month, he no showed and never met us, never signed contracts, never paid anybody all my friends for the work that they put in. >> that's when the light bulb happened with the like. this is a scam. >> we had red flags from the beginning. >> this group says the worst part is john added a benefit dance party to the event, with $25 ticket sales going toward medical care for tristan's teenage son, kainoa recently diagnosed with ms. tristan, believes that two was a scam, a bit bamboozled.

>> i mean, i it's hard for me to understand how people can be so mindless and heartless and cruel, really, because i feel like they he really played on my vulnerability and the most vulnerable time in my life. >> we tried to reach john several times with voicemails, texts and messages. so far no response. police now investigating and they confirm fit fest is not happening. >> you encourage anyone who uh- purchased their vendor space or their attendee tickets on a credit card to maybe give their credit card company a call. >> when i spoke with him on the phone, he said that he doesn't use credit cards and that he would bring, quote unquote, fresh, crisp $100 bills to pay us. >> for now, vendors say they'll move on. tristan offering this gofundme page for her son's health care, which she says is definitely the real thing in sonoma county. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> with memorial day weekend upon us, san mateo is unveiling a touching new tribute to city

antitrust lawsuit against ticketmaster owner live nation entertainment. >> this lawsuit alleges that the company holds a monopoly over concert ticket sales. abc news reporter reena roy with the details. >> the department of justice announcing an antitrust lawsuit has been filed against live nation and its wholly owned subsidiary, ticketmaster. >> it is time to break up live nation, ticketmaster. >> attorney general merrick garland says the lawsuit was filed on behalf of music fans as well as artists, saying live nation suffocates its competition using a variety of tactics from acquisitions of smaller regional promoters and venues to threats and retaliation to agreements with rivals designed to neutralize them. the doj accuses the company of creating a monopoly over the live entertainment market, hurting consumers, hurting artists, hurting venues, and hurting potential competitors. >> here, by manipulating and distorting the marketplace and

bending it to benefit them illegally. >> the lawsuit, coming after a more than two year long investigation into the company that has been under growing public scrutiny since the 2022 fiasco over ticket sales for taylor swift's eras tour. >> we are suing them to hold them accountable and change that anti-competitive conduct and bring them back within the bounds of the law, where they can be a very successful business, but they are not allowed to violate the law and operate outside of it as they are now. >> live nation, responding to the lawsuit in a statement saying the doj's lawsuit won't solve the issues fans care about relating to ticket prices, service fees and access to in-demand shows, adding we will defend against these baseless allegations. use this opportunity to shed light on the industry and continue to push for reforms that truly protect consumers and artists. and this is just the latest lawsuit in a series of antitrust efforts by the biden administration, which has brought actions against some big tech companies over what it alleges are anti-competitive

practices that have harmed american consumers. reena roy, abc news, new york. >> the fcc is proposing a first ever fine over the use of spoofed deepfake robocalls that cloned president biden's voice. now just to be really clear here, we're about to listen to the fake illegal call. >> voting this tuesday only enables the republicans in their quest to elect donald trump again. >> the calls were made ahead of the 2024 presidential primary election. in new hampshire, lingo, telecom now faces a $2 million fine for violating caller id rules. lingo transmitted those calls, which were the idea of democratic political consultant steve kramer, who was also fined. lingo has a chance to appeal that fine. former president trump will be in the bay area next month, according to a report from reuters. the republican presidential candidate will attend a fundraiser in san francisco on june 6th to be hosted by venture capitalists david sachs and

chamath palihapitiya. >> all right. sky seven is over. breaking news right now in san francisco. details are still coming in, but it appears there's been a shooting at ingles street and armstrong avenue. you see a lot of police down there, a lot of police vehicles. this is an industrial area in the bayview district. definitely a large scene there with roads blocked off. you can see the yellow tape. we are still waiting to hear from police as to what led up to the shooting. but again, we understand this is a ingle street and armstrong avenue in the bayview. we don't know yet if anybody was injured. how many and what else has happened. but we will bring you more information as we get more in. >> all right. let's check on the forecast now because a lot of people have holiday weekend holiday plans. >> yes, yes. and a lot going on. sandhya. >> absolutely. and larry and kristen, let's talk about the hurricane season. noaa just issued its outlook for this year. and it's basically saying

that the atlantic will have an above normal season. take a look at the graphic here uh. la nina is developing and with less wind shear and warmer than average sea surface temperatures there, they're expecting highest forecast we've ever issued in may is what they're calling it with above average there. but of course in the pacific they're saying it's going to be below normal season. so near record warm ocean temperatures in the atlantic will be contributing factor 85% chance of this happening. named storms average about 14. they're expecting 17 to 25. 8 to 13 will be hurricanes, which is above the average as well. and 4 to 7 major hurricanes, say. stay tuned as we take a look at live doppler. seven all quiet here, but look at pier 39. it is packed with all the sea lions. i think they're enjoying the sunshine 59 degrees in the city right now. it's in the 60s. oakland hayward 75. right now in san jose and 55 in half moon bay. from our okay airport.

okay, camera. you can see just a little bit of haze looking back towards the city. 81 in san jose, 82 in concord. these are some of our warmer spots 77 in livermore, mount tam cam. the view is definitely hazy tonight. gusty winds, strongest along the coast tomorrow. windy, below average and for your memorial day weekend temperatures will your rebound on sunday and on monday. so for now, hold on to your hats because it's going to remain gusty this evening. 7 p.m. you will notice those strongest winds near the coastline. the winds will remain elevated going into late night and even into tomorrow morning. for parts of the bay area, they'll pick right back up again tomorrow evening. we're looking at 40 mile an hour on shore winds, continuing the cooling trend that has gotten underway yesterday and continues today. clouds on the increase tonight. as you will notice, those clouds not only high level clouds, but also the marine layer reestablishing tomorrow morning, more areas waking up to gray skies and we will continue to see a mix of clouds and sun

tomorrow. so those temperatures will fall some more 40s and 50s out the door tomorrow morning, partly to mostly cloudy. make sure you bundle up in the morning tomorrow afternoon you're looking at a windy one near the coast, breezy inland, upper 50s to the mid 70s, so not exactly where you should be for this time of year. temperatures bottoming out on saturday. below average and still breezy. and then we're going to turn things around. warm it up for you sunday and memorial day. it should be really nice for the holiday. uh- mild weather continues tuesday and then we warm it up for you. midweek, mid 80s, inland, low 60s, coast side . so really nice looking weather. larry and kristen. >> yeah, very pleasant overall compared to everybody else. >> we'll take it. absolutely. >> well thank you sandra. >> all right. we know the impact wildfires have on california's landscape. but what about the state's lakes? a new study by uc davis found that during our biggest wildfire years, 2018, 2020 and 2021, smoke covered an astonishing 70% of the state. that smoke effectively dimmed the lights on lakes with harmful

results for aquatic life. >> light was reduced by about 20% in the lakes, and what that does is, is reduces the lake temperature because it's that light that carries with it the solar radiation that heats the lake water. >> the cooler water temperature from wildfire smoke not only affects photosynth sis in lakes, it also impacts algae growth and the amount of oxygen and carbon in the water that plants and aquatic life need to survive. >> all right, pop quiz what do martha stewart, jackie spear, dion lim and ama daetz all have in common? the answer is coming up next. >> later, the $88,000 clams. why they cost someone so much

mateo supervisor elect jackie spear first thought of 36 years ago. with women now making up 56% of the workforce, she says their work isn't over yet. >> now, women still suffer from what's called the imposter syndrome, and we've got to break ourselves from not thinking we're worth it, that we're not capable because we truly are. so there's a lot of work still to be done. >> i would love to get to c-suite at my own company. >> 31 year old kathy heath from san francisco is motivated. >> it's nice to be able to get to see people within your practice, outside of your practice, all here, because we are strong, beautiful, independent women who are doing really well in our careers and we want to continue to move up and bring people with us as we continue to climb that ladder in redwood city. >> lena howland abc seven news. >> you've been to that event many times, right? >> yeah. i mean, not on the peninsula. it's their first time there. but at the moscone, it was great energy, a lot of learning and networking going on. yes. very supportive.

karl the fog, right. it's iconic. the fog moving over the golden gate bridge. we see it all the time, but rising temperatures mean less coastal fog. how it will impact you may surprise you. love it or hate it. >> it is part of our regional identity. we've even given it a name. karl we noticed when it's pouring in and when it hasn't been seen in a while >> how many pictures have you seen of the golden gate bridge? with the fog pouring through the gate and over the bridge? i mean, it's such an iconic thing. >> there'll be people out here visiting for a day and they'll ask me, how long is the fog going to be around, you know, and i can't answer. i can say, well, it may be here for in five minutes and you'll be out in the nice, beautiful sunshine or it could be here for the rest of the day. you just don't know. it just seems to have a mind of its own, but it also has such an amazing cooling effect in the summer that keeps the climate in san francisco so pleasant.

>> it's really our air conditioner, right? for the bay area. >> it's very foggy most of the time, and a lot of moisture on steel, so it can create corrosion pretty fast. my name is chris yzerman. my title out here is chief bridge painter on the golden gate bridge. there's always a danger element involved in working out here, no matter what, whether it's wet or dry. so you just got to take your precautions out here, wear your proper safety gear. the weather climate out here is very tough. we have the fog, we have the wind, we have the rain. when the fog is here, since we are in full containment with plastic walls, plastic floors. so since we're fully contained, like that, it can be so foggy outside you can't see the bridge. but we could still be in there painting. we get right out in the pacific basin, out here, our saturated air, but also warm air because it's basic north of hawaii. >> and what they do is they start to flow toward the pacific coast. well, that warm, moist air interact with the very cold

water that's upwelling right off the coast of california. and it's that temperature contrast that causes basically the air mass to hit the dew point. and we get a fog bank that all of a sudden formed because of this temperature contrast. then of course, the inland is warming up hot in the central valley. that hot air rises. and basically it's like a big vacuum. it pulls that air in at night, hot air rises, something's got to replace it, and it's coming right off the coast. so we get that daily pattern of it coming in and out. >> there's all kinds of ways. the fog sits here through the gate. it'll sit low sometimes where you just see the tower of the bridge, or it'll sit high and you'll just see the deck of the bridge. it could be in here in a matter of minutes. >> i think the evidence is pretty strong, showing that the fog has been on the decline even since the early 1950s, and the rate of decline has slowed, but it's still going down. and so we've lost about three hours a

day of fog that we normally get during the foggy season between may and october. and the projection is that that's going to continue. fog is not going to go completely away, but having less of it is definitely showing itself. that's going to mean that probably energy use is going to change in the summertime. if we have less cool weather, people are going to have to turn on their ac more. they're going to consume more power. it's going to affect the crops. like many of the strawberry fields here in california are right near watsonville and castroville. all the artichokes, they really benefit by having that cool coastal climate. who knows what's going to happen to them when this changes. it'll ripple through, you know, society and various ways and how rapidly this changes is really going to have some, i think, some social and some ecological consequences . >> so what will the bay area really look like in 25 years? watch the abc seven originals presentation on bay area 2050. it's now streaming everywhere

you watch abc seven. >> a burgeoning native garden was on full display today at a cal state east bay satellite campus. staff from the environmental protection agency visited the newly created wawona eco cultural garden in concord. the epa gave cal state east bay more than $915 million to develop the space at the foot of mount diablo. it's home to native plants and wildlife. the land is being cultivated with sustainability in mind and promoting ancient indigenous practices. >> there are plants that you know can be used for either clothing or can be used for, i don't know, hats, hat making things that we just aren't quite familiar with. >> foods grown in the garden will be used for making traditional ohlone dishes that will be sold at cafe ohlone, located on the uc berkeley campus. the value of a degree and on the lam because of clams. the 44 is next

three, a pew research study found that republicans are more likely than democrats to, say a four year college degree is not that important to get a well-paying job. about half said a college degree is less important than it was 20 years ago. democrat or republican going to college has gotten

really, really expensive and unless you i mean, if you're going to come out with, like, i don't know, sandy, like a communications degree and your parents are going to spend 250 grand on that. i'm not so sure. yeah, you know what i mean? >> i know there was a time where you needed to get your degree in order to get a job, but it seems like there are all these trade schools that some kids are opting to do. i'm still a big believer in sending your kids to college and making sure that they get their degrees and politics aside, because there are some recent reasons for which the findings might be the way it is right now. >> if you just look at it, there are big removing the education barriers and going to a more skill based approach to hiring. for example, google, they used to say you have to have a ba in computer science or whatever it is, right to be considered for this job. as an engineer. they've removed that. if you have the skills, you're good. you'll be considered. all right,

all right. apple music has revealed its top ten albums of all time. a bit of a surprise at number one. lauryn hill's acclaimed album the miseducation of lauryn hill, followed by thriller, abbey road and purple rain number five, is also an interesting choice. frank ocean's blond rounding out the top ten, stevie wonder's songs in the key of life, kendrick lamar's good kid, mad city, amy winehouse's back to black, nevermind by nirvana and beyoncé's lemonade. the list was compiled by experts and industry professionals. zach, how do you weigh in? >> i saved my breath for this one. i kept scrolling and scrolling on the list because it's 100 albums. they ranked. i didn't see mariah carey anywhere on the list. i didn't see some other no, i'm serious because everybody looks at mariah carey as like the diva do you realize she writes and produces her own songs? so she has had some amazing albums. you know what else i noticed about this list too, is that there are a lot of older albums on there, and the newer ones are really only adele, taylor swift or beyonce. people aren't putting together albums like that anymore. the concept albums, it's kind of

sad. it's like a lost art form almost. but yeah, billy joel wasn't on there innocent man. there were so many on there that i wanted to see, did not see. so you know what? it's all subjective. we're never going to be happy with these lists. you're not going to make everybody happy with these lists. yeah. >> you're right, because a lot of artists just drop singles that people download. they download the individual songs. but also no rolling stones. come on, come on. who's making these lists? >> the experts, supposedly the experts. >> you guys should lead a change.org petition all over. >> i should be the expert. >> that can solve a big lesson for one family visiting the central coast. >> the family got an $88,000 fine for picking up 72 pismo clams at pismo beach. the clams nearly became extinct. they're highly regulated. the family says their children thought they were collecting seashells. they didn't know. a judge took pity and reduced the fine to $500. sandy, could you see your kids doing that? >> i could totally see that. i mean, you know, i mean, if the kids don't really know the difference, they think their shells. at least the judge had a little bit of pity. larry. >> yeah. agreed zach.

>> they took a lot of clams, though, wasn't it? i think it was 70. right. i think somebody correct me if i'm wrong. yeah, it was 70 clams and that's what we were talking about. that's like a whole bunch. and then if somebody is really taking these clams for a reason that they shouldn't be, then they're going to look at this as a precedent and be like, oh, sorry, i didn't know. you know, i don't know. it's maybe setting a bad precedent. i don't know why they needed that many. >> apparently there were signs everywhere as well too. so, i mean, i think the judge reached a fair compromise, right? >> they learned their lesson. >> yeah. all right, now to a different kind of food. this one won't get you in hot water or a $500 fine. nana joe's granola is a san francisco born and created food. it began in 2010 with a dream of bringing natural whole foods ingredients to stores and joining us on this tasty thursday, michelle pusateri, the founder of nana joe's first, thanks so much for joining us. >> i'm torn between asking questions and crunching away on all the questions. >> i'll crunch. >> all right, you crunch, i'll talk. what do we have to try

today? and how did you get started with granola specifically? >> yeah, i mean, i got started with granola in a kind of a funny way. i went on a website called fitness singles back in 2007, and i wanted to learn how to surf, and i met somebody on that website, and we got together and we were eating granola and yogurt before long, surf sessions, and i was literally crashing out and i thought, what is going on here? so i went and i looked at the ingredients that were in the in the granola that i was eating, and it was packed with a lot of sugar and i thought, you know what? i'm a trained pastry chef. i can make my own granola. and i started making my granola. and as everybody's story goes, uh, i started selling it. and here we are, 14 years later. wow. so where was your pastry chef training and what did you make? i was at the culinary institute of america, i've worked at the

four seasons, the fairmont hotel . i was at nopa and nopalito in the city. i was a pastry chef of magnolia for a little bit on haight street. >> all right. sorry to make you dig into your linkedin, but but i'm just curious, right. because you can tell this is a very elevated granola. can you talk about what kind of ingredients and flavors you like to put into your granola to make it a little different, to make it not have that much sugar, but still taste great? >> yeah, i think there's a lot of things that you can do. maple sirup is a great one that you can put into your baked goods. that elevates the flavor without having that much sugar or uh- with the ingredients. i was really focused on where i was getting my ingredients from the fresher the better, right? so the almonds come from california. our peaches that are in the cluster blend come from eating a peach right now. >> that's what i'm chewing. a whole big chunk of peach. it's so good, isn't it? >> so good. those peaches are unsold for un sugared unboiled 100% organic. and that was the other thing that i really wanted

to focus on is our our granola being all organic ingredients. i think that's really important, with the flavor combinations, i really wanted something that was kind of out of the box a little bit, right? like mulberries in with pecans and coconut, something that you don't see every day, we just launched another one that's in that was in the box that we sent over. but it's a texas praline. so. >> and did people find you? where do people find all these great flavors? yeah >> so you can find us at whole foods in the northern california area. a lot of the smaller stores down in southern california to, up in the pacific northwest and texas and new york. >> all right. full disclosure, kristin was supposed to get the dark chocolate, coconut, almond butter, and pecan. i stole it, and you didn't know that? well, now you know. thanks, michelle. you will pay. >> yeah. you're welcome. >> thanks for having me. all right, we're going to crunch on nana joe's. that's it for the four

half of your weekend, larry. >> all right, sandy, thank you. there's a property in t city of alameda that's selling for a relatively low price of $400,000. its cati off of grand street inust few blocks away from the beach. there is a catch. it's not on the water. it's actually in the water. and this is what i'm talking about right here, because the piece of land that we're talking about, this is it. this is this is what we're talking about, not talking about the homes over there or over here. we're talking about the water right here. okay. that's it, it's in the middle of a lagoon between a couple of homes. abc seven news reporter tim johns takes us on a deep dive. >> it's one of the most stressful and expensive things you can do in the bay area. for many, house hunting can be a nightmare. but in the city of alameda, one property is hitting the market for only a couple hundred thousand dollars. the catch? it's entirely underwater. >> it's one of the neighbors contact me and says, oh, is this a joke? i'm like, no, it's not a

joke. it's someone bought it and they own it. >> now, april jones is the realtor for the property, so the lot is from this fence area over to this area here. she says its owner bought it sight unseen at an auction and was unaware it was actually in the lagoon. now, if you want to buy this property, the asking price is $400,000. not too bad for the bay area, however, if you actually want to build here, experts say that could cost millions. jones says whoever buys it will have to get special approvals and permits before they can actually build something. checking for things like what type of foundation there is on the lagoon floor, accounting for sea level rise, and for the fact backed up against a bridge. >> this is unique to me. this is the first time i've come across something like this. i've had some unusual properties in my career, but this was this was a first. >> despite the potential challenges, jones thinks the property could one day become the perfect home. >> the lagoon area is beautiful, it's peaceful. it's, you know,

it's very quiet, it's like having your own little oasis. >> a tough sell for people like chris womack. >> it's funny, because that's probably the cheapest property in town. >> womack says, even though he can't afford to buy it himself, he wonders if all of the extra work required to actually get something built on the site would be worth it in the end. however, given that this is the bay area, womack predicts someone will eventually scoop it up. alameda has got a good reputation, and, people will absolutely spend the money. >> you're just going to find the right tech person, and they'll they'll get in here, and they'll be sure to make it the most expensive property on the block in alameda. >> tim johns abc seven news. >> all right. the votes are in. and the four new peregrine falcon chicks in uc berkeley's campanile now have names. nearly 4000 people voted, and the names selected are the ones i wanted. >> i knew it, yeah. >> i didn't stack the voting. aurora. eclipse, equinox and solstice. the celestial phenomenon names. of course, this year we had a solar eclipse

and that beautiful aurora that was seen here. so therefore ta da! >> yeah, kristen voted 4000 times up cycling. it's a hot new trend. >> yeah, but it's about a lot more than what's hot. >> when i heard the news that there were about 92 million tons of fabric waste in our landfills, it broke my heart. >> just ahead, the bay area designer giving unwanted clothing a for any traveler you want to be... like a craft cocktail connoisseur at the cambria hotel bar. uh-huh... uh-huh... or mr.

to button down shirts. so? so studio is all about upcycled clothing. >> i upcycle clothing and i call it reworked fashion. it's a garment that's not used anymore and it's reworked into something that's usable. the stuff that you're wearing on your body plays into part in our environment as a whole. so definitely every day should be earth day. we should treat it like so. sozo studio focuses o using unwanted fabrics from closets, whether it be my own other people's own, the customer's own, and thrifted materials and fabric remnants in order to make one of a kind pieces. the first part of sew, sew stands for sowing seeds of sustainability. just like a planter does. i want to educate our community on how to use unwanted fabrics in order to make stuff that you actually

want to wear every day, and not just in the back of your closet or in the trash can. so cw is stands for sewing because i love sewing and i want to use sewing as a tool to guide people to really find pieces that they want to wear, and that will last a lifetime. when i heard the news that there were about 92 million tons of fabric waste in our landfills, knowing that these clothes were detrimental to our environment, i knew i wanted to do something about all that fabric waste. i also am an avid thrifter, so i love thrift shopping. and so when i go thrift shopping, there's all these clothes that no one wants anymore, and i want to bring them home so i can give them a second life. so i just make it at my studio, which is my home. i use my sewing machine, i use my embroidery machine, i try to use threads and different sewing material from local shops here in san jose or in the bay area. the shortest amount of time can

even be a day. whether it be just a bucket hat that they want or a simple garment piece for other clothing pieces where we really take into part every detail. it could take about a week to about two weeks. every piece of the design process is made with the individual in mind because they're the ones that are gonna wear it. they're the ones that are gonna really rock it out in the streets. so i communicate with them as the design process goes on. do you like this? do you like that really? in the end, it's a piece where they love it. we're giving that garment another chance to see the light of day rather than see the landfill. you're playing a part in, even if it's a small part of the influencing of fast fashion. my own self, i'm doing it. but i can maybe influence other people to do the same. >> that's it for
