coliseum property, to a private entity. >> but he says oakland could use the money right now. >> i think that's where the debate is going to come. i need the money, certainly need the revenue. but at the same time, i need to make adjustments here. >> but one thing he and the mayor do agree on not taking funds away from the police or fire departments, making sure public safety stays funded is a big part of mayor shang tao's budget, and the firefighters union says they had to fight to keep that funding, or else they fear the city would be in danger. we often can get there within four minutes if that firehouse had been closed or those firehouses had been closed, we'd be increasing those response times to eight minutes to 10 minutes to 12 minutes. >> and that would inevitably result in loss of life and loss of property. >> zack unger is the president of the oakland firefighters union. they feared budget cuts could impact firehouses and all the calls they answer from fires to medical emergencies. >> while the population of oakland is not exploding, the complexity of the fire problems we face has increasingly challenged us.

the market for only a couple hundred thousand dollars. the catch? it's entirely underwater. >> it's one of the neighbors contacted 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 it's 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 that it's 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

everybody, all the cities in solano county have done it. some of the cities in napa county, some of the cities in contra costa. so come on, alameda county, you're kind of behind on this particular issue. >> the report doesn't offer any comparison with the rest of the bay area, or even across california or the u.s. but they say that research is being done in alameda county, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> with memorial day weekend upon us, san mateo is unveiling a new tribute to city residents who died in the line of duty bagpipers and marines brought in the colors during a ceremony at central park this morning to mark the debut of a new fallen heroes memorial. community leaders say the memorial aims to provide a place to remember fallen military service members, as well as others who died serving the public. >> may this memorial serve as a beacon of hope, a place of solace and a reminder of the

worst trading day of the year. the dow dropped 588 points. the nasdaq and s&p also closed lower. those losses came even after chip maker nvidia delivered a stellar quarterly earnings and announced a ten for one stock split. that development caused the company's stock to soar more than 9% today. >> in the new abc seven originals bay area 2050, we look at the impact of climate change and how it will affect our environment. here in the bay area, coastal fog has been a mainstay, but rising temperatures mean less coastal fog. >> how will it impact you? may surprise you. love it or hate

it, it is part of our regional identity. we've even given it a name. carl 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's

chris dearman. 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, dry. so you just got to take your precautions out here where you're 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. will 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 are 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. >> well, coming up next, we will get a look at the holiday weekend forecast from sandia, plus major cities from dallas to boston facing storms. >> we'll show you the damage already

we should have won that game

last night. they trailed five nothing and came back to win a game. they absolutely should have lost. and today, once again, they trailed big against the pirates. they came back again. let's start with mustache may pirates fans all in on paul skenes. he's the number one pitching prospect also dating olivia dunn for context, yeah. i read people. is that even still published? i don't even know. anyway, skenes goes six innings. it is. thank you. allows just one run. struck out three mustache in effect one one on the fourth. bases loaded for ex giant joey bart. that's his first career grand slam. you think he enjoyed doing that against his old team? i bet four run pirates lead second day in a row. the bucs hit a grand and lost. still a four run lead in the eighth. here come the late inning giants matt chapman homers for the third straight game. three run shot. giants would tie it up and then with two outs still in the eighth, another one of the new kids, brett, wisely up the middle five runs in the eighth and the giants lead seven six. and chappy, another gold glove play to end the eighth inning, spinning winning giants take 2

or 3 in this series seven six final. just a fifth time in history a team has allowed grand slams in back to back games and won both of them. here's chappy. >> it just it feels good to start to get comfortable, get into a rhythm and just help this team win man. like i want to be able to contribute on both sides of the baseball. so it feels good. >> it feels good indeed. a's and rockies in oakland get your hot dogs here. your hot dogs here. he's down four. that's my next job. probably four. nothing after six. but former giant j.d. davis, a two run blast. it's a43 game after eight. why is nobody saying no, no, no, larry. bottom line, daz cameron, he just called up, announcing his arrival with a game tying homer. so he was called last night. left the game he was playing. he packed. took the first flight out. got here at eight this morning. gets the start and holmer's okay to the 11th. normally lights out. mason miller what happened. he allowed four runs. rockies take a95 lead. things were were looking kind of bleak again. but bottom

11 the a's score twice. then jj bleday this is two xfinity and beyond. we're tied at nine. the inning keeps going. the a's load the bases with two outs. contention is mounting on both sides. and here it comes. ball four tyler soderstrom walks on four pitches. and that wins the game. they force it to run. a's win ten 9 in 11. and it's bath time for bleday. >> you guys never gave up. oh oh. >> every game that series was, was a grind. you know, it was back and forth, back and forth and, you know, as soon as we thought we were out of it, we did our best to keep our keep our mindset in the game. and, you know, we're just it's just good to come out on top and keep this momentum going. >> this is one of the best days of the season for the giants. and the a's. we haven't had that many days where they both have won and in this case it was in dramatic fashion. just seeing jj bleday. when we have a good show, we should like dump

gatorade on larry. >> oh yeah, well, i don't have that many good shows, so that's why the hence the hotdogs. >> unfortunately we don't have it in the budget either. yeah. >> oh oh i'll get the bucket i'll spring for that. >> you're good highlights. >> you're right. that was that was a fun game. excellent. >> thanks all right. >> tonight on abc seven it's 9-1-1 followed by gray's anatomy at ten station 19. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ask for sandhya patel, larry. bill. and by the way, he's so good at his job. we know that. but you would be good at the at the hot dogs because you could with authority. you could just shout it out. >> i, i will grill them but i don't eat them. >> oh, that's true of course. >> so i'll carry yours. you got to back your product. >> i'll prepare
