years for the track. >> kumasi good morning. the track has been around since 1941. many call it an iconic landmark in the east bay, but it has been the center of protest over animal cruelty. the owners of the track announced the closure back in july of last year. they say they are moving races to santa anita to consolidate operations, but many have been demanding the track close for a while. questionable history over the treatment of the horses 17 died last year at golden gate fields. some will miss it, while others tell us they look forward to what the land could be used for. we spoke with them earlier this year. >> it'll be odd to see it not there anymore. driving by. so i've had i've had good times there though, and our friends have had some fun, fun times there on, you know, sunday activity. >> i think it's really a gift from the gods because it gives the whole region the opportunity to plan for development. >> golden gate fields will still be paying property taxes to the

city of albany, even after it closes. the future of the site remains unclear. it is currently zoned for waterfront recreation. many we spoke with say they'd like to see it turned into housing or a park. it's a massive piece of land with prime bayfront real estate. the last race is set to start sunday after 5 p.m. ryan curry abc seven news thanks, ryan. >> this morning, former president donald trump is waking up in la after his short visit to san francisco. he attended a private fundraising dinner in park heights last night, according to reuters. that event raked in $12 million. supporters and protesters of trump showed up outside of the dinner. the event, hosted by tech billionaire david sax. tickets were sold out, ranging f 50,000 to $500,000. the chair of the san francisco republican party believes support for trump is growing in the city. >> i think it's very jarring for the democrats, to see not just that the president has a sold out fundraiser in pacific heights, from tech folks,

largely counter-protesters say trump is not fit to be president again, pointing to his recent criminal conviction in new york, david sax posted a lengthy explanation on twitter or ex as to why he is backing the former president. >> it was well over a thousand words, but here's how he wrapped it up. quote the voters have experienced four years of president trump in four years of president biden. and in tech, we call that an a b test with respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy and legal fairness, trump performed better. he is a president who deserves a second term. end quote. now we spoke with the senior politics reporter with our media partners at san francisco standard to shed a bit of light on why a san francisco tech billionaire would back the former president. and here's what he had to say. >> there is a growing number of billionaires and wealthy people like sacks, who are warming up to the idea of trump and the

question is why many people have ideas that it is related to increasing their own wealth, rather than their stated goals about public policy. but that is, you know, up to each individual coming up in the next half hour, we will be hearing from some of the former president's supporters here in the bay area, as well as some of his critics, and what they had to say about his visit. >> you can check in with the biggest moments of trump's visit and find all of our election coverage heading into november, right now at abc seven news.com and wherever you stream abc seven. >> a significant a significant development in the state trial of a man who broke into nancy pelosi's house and attacked her husband, paul, with a hammer. a san francisco superior court judge dismissed three charges against david depape for that 2022 attack. the judge says trying to pap for charges similar to the federal trial that he already went through amounts to double jeopardy. the charge is dismissed, are attempted murder, assault of an elder and assault with a deadly weapon. depape still faces five state charges that were not part

of the federal trial, including burglary, kidnaping and false imprisonment. he will be serving 30 years in prison as a result of the federal convictions. >> happening now. you should be on the lookout in certain parts of san jose. a mountain lion has been spotted in two different neighborhoods in the last two days. now, we first told you about the sighting yesterday. right here on abc. seven mornings. gloria is at the live desk with where the big cat was last seen. >> yeah, well, kumasi a park ranger tells us they believe the same mountain lion was spotted on wednesday and thursday. the first sighting was around l.a. drive and war admiral way in south san jose on wednesday night. and then yesterday, the city says the animal was seen near kelly park. a resident shared photos with us. you could see this right here, but san jose is not confirmed that this is the cat that they're looking for. police say callers reported seeing the mountain lion walking into yards. >> i'm shocked. i'm a little bit

shocked. and now i'm like, so glad that i keep these guys on a leash because i really wouldn't know what to do. i have no coat to make myself bigger. >> and officials say if you see a mountain lion, do not run back away. slowly stand tall, make a noise and do not turn your back. and fish and wildlife officials say mountain lions typically pose little threat to humans. they suggest not being out too late at night or too early in the morning. so reggie, even though our first instinct is to run away again, you don't want to do that. you don't want to run away. >> ignore your instincts. okay thank you. this is a story we've been following for years. uc berkeley, celebrating a victory in its effort to build student housing at people's park. yesterday, the state supreme court ruled in favor after a lawsuit sought to put a halt to the project. it claimed the student noise would have an environmental impact. state lawmakers closed the loopholes in the california environmental quality act that were used to sue the university. >> we passed two different laws to make clear that environmental

laws should not be used or abused. i should say, to stop on campus student housing, which is some of the most environmentally sustainable uh- housing. >> cal put out a statement saying it is now focusing on the timeline to resume construction on the project. we have not heard from the lawyer representing the group that filed the lawsuit to sutro tower this morning. >> it's telling the story very well with our changes. it's foggy. you're looking at right now. that sun is up on the horizon, but our marine layer is back and it's ready to bring our temperatures back to average, back to reality. so highs versus average today, some cities actually a bit below average. we're talking about oakland, san francisco, daytime highs in the 60s will be about three degrees below average. it's quite a turnaround from the heat. we had much of the previous couple of days. but other areas where we do have temperatures above average, it's just slightly between 2 and 6 degrees above average. here's future weather.
