forecast coming up. >> and celebrating juneteenth, the bay area way. >> always live. abc seven news starts right now. >> only on abc seven news tonight. the story behind the san francisco building. this one. the sign visible from a bay bridge offramp, says now leasing . despite a new name and even a new address, it is not new at all. it's a building with a troubled past. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us to understand this story. you need the background and for that we go back two years. that's when the building at that time called 33 tehama flooded not once but twice in two months. the first time a rooftop pipe burst, sending 20,000 gallons of water through the 35 story building. >> yeah. take a look. the floor is carpet, but it appears shiny because it's wet. 600 people had to move out. the building

flooded again two months later >> construction workers who were fixing the building had to evacuate. residents returned, kept getting delayed, and some say stuff was stolen from their units. during this time, dozens sued the building's owner, alleging chronic mismanagement. >> now, the 35 story tower is reopening under a new name, spire. it even has a new street address, 39 to hummus street. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn looks at what's changed. it is a story you will see only on abc seven news. >> it literally felt like i was in a godzilla movie. there was water dripping down from everywhere. >> anchor sharma shudders at the memory of what he and hundreds of other tenants went through. at 33 tehama in june 2022, tenants were forced from their homes after a massive flood. thousands of gallons of water poured down through the entire building. hines, the real estate development and management firm that owns the building, said a water main that is part of the

building's fire sprinkler system failed at the top of the building. now, two years later, the building has reopened. tenants have moved into the newly renamed spera sf, which even has a new address, 39 tehama. a spokesperson for hines released this statement saying, quote, as of last month, approximately one third of the original residents from 2022 have returned to the property, and of those who elected to retain their leases throughout the extensive restoration, nearly 75% returned to the property. sharma decided not to return after he learned that his rent would increase by 50. he now lives in san diego. >> i wouldn't feel comfortable living there, anymore. just, you know, given the, the false promises they've made so far. as for the new name and address, what do you think about that? it's a sham. they basically just fooling people so that, you know, they're the previous results. don't pop up on google search. so that's why they change the name. they've changed the address and the story. >> attorney fahimi represents 90 of the tenants who lived at 33 tehama in a lawsuit.

>> we're going to continue to pursue them. we are hoping for a resolution, because it's clear hines and defendants are liable. and these folks should not be delayed anymore in being compensated for what they've suffered through, spera says. >> they've done restoration and renovation work inside and out. >> it's trying to cover up for what has happened, and they're just trying to erase what has happened in san francisco. >> suzanne phan abc seven news. >> now, coming up at 630, we'll take a deep dive into the issue of the high cost of affordable housing in the bay area. we're going to focus on one county in particular, where there is an exceptionally high bar to being considered low income. >> that's coming up, heading live outside, there is wildfire haze in parts of the bay area and an air quality advisory is, in effect, a fire burning in colusa county. the sites fire is the main source of pollution. the bay area air quality management district says air quality in sonoma, napa and solano counties could be affected. the sites fire has scorched 24mi■!s and is only 5% contained. the fire is burning

northeast of clear lake near the east park reservoir. there are evacuation orders for the few people who live in the remote area. all evacuation orders and warnings were lifted about an hour ago for the point fire burning in sonoma county. that fire is 50% contained and has burned at 1200 acres. flames destroyed ten structures. fire officials say they do not expect any further significant fire growth. you can track the fires that are burning across the state with our abc seven news wildfire tracker. click on the fire icon to learn the latest on each of those fires, including acres burned and containment. but you can find it at abc seven news.com/fire map. >> all right. let's bring in abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel for a check on the air quality. >> yes, sandhya, how are the conditions now? >> well, ama and dan, things are improving, but it is going to be temporary. so let me show you a satellite picture. this is the visible satellite picture. you can clearly see the smoke from the sites. fire in colusa county. now, while most of it is not been coming into the bay

area, there has been a very thin sliver that is still showing up from our mount tam cam in the upper parts of the atmosphere. so keep in mind that the air quality, like i said, has improved, but there is still signs of that smoke. as you look at the air quality there, it's not so great in some spots, but down near the surface from air now showing good air quality across most parts of the bay area, that all changes as we do have the smoke forecast here showing you some of that smoke getting spilled in to parts of the north and east bay tomorrow morning and continuing into tomorrow afternoon and evening. so we do have that air quality advisory for today, tomorrow, moderate air quality expected for the north bay, the coast and central bay. and on friday we're going to see most parts of the bay area go to moderate air quality. with the switch in the wind direction. >> dan okay, sandy, thanks a lot. we're following the story of the effort to recall oakland mayor xiang tao. now that they've gotten the signatures needed to be put it on the ballot, they're offering the mayor an option. resign instead.

abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke with retired judge who is leading this campaign. >> tao is toast, and my message to the mayor is this the people have spoken. >> former alameda county superior court judge brenda duarte is president of the group oakland united to recall sheng tao on tuesday, the city clerk informed them that they have the required number of verified signatures to get the recall on the november ballot. it's now up to city council to vote to call the election, and we expect the city council to respect the will of the more than 40,000 people who signed those those petitions . the main reason for the group's decision to recall mayor tao include missing the filing deadline for millions of dollars in state money to fight retail theft, firing police chief laurent armstrong based on what they called weak evidence and against the recommendation of the police commission not being able to negotiate to stop the oakland a's from leaving and the

city's current historic budget deficit. >> and that's not the kind of leader that oakland deserves. we just deserve better. we need somebody who's more proactive, who's going to be out there before she does something. under the threat of a recall. >> in addition, the group claims a new direction for oakland under a new mayor could have a positive impact on the entire east bay. >> the east bay area is centered geographically, with oakland at its heart. so what we do in terms of greatness for here will spread as benefits throughout the rest of the east bay area. >> mayor did not respond to numerous requests for comment, but she does have her supporters. adele ramirez says mayor tao has made mistakes, but his concern is that the challenges for oakland exist no matter who holds office. >> i worry that a recall in this time with a mayor who's only been the mayor for one year, it worries me that there's not a real plan in place with someone who can come in, who has the budget tools, how to pass a budget, has the tools, how to

build coalitions and understands that you're not going to be able to make everyone happy. >> oakland city council will likely take up the recall issue after july 2nd meeting. if mayor tao is recalled in november, there will be a special election early spring for a new mayor. mayor tao will be ineligible to run in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> all right. for some perspective about what's going on in oakland, let's bring in abc seven news insider phil matier. let's talk about the administration's response or lack of they haven't responded at all. >> no, they haven't. earlier on, one of the staffers for the mayor characterized the recall people as being losers. and that didn't go over really well. since then, we've heard sort of silence on that because what is there to say? you can say you can question the legality or the principles of the recall, but the bottom line is that it's qualified and it's going to set off a chain reaction in oakland. there's a little bit of a irony here is that one of the reasons that the mayor is facing such rocky shores right now is

because she fired the very popular police chief, lauren armstrong. she's going to be on the november ballot now as a recall, he is going to be on the november ballot as a candidate for city council. it's wild. so that is the very person that she fired that set this ball rolling is going to be on the ballot as well. >> also on the ballot, of course, the recall of district attorney alameda county district attorney pamela price. unprecedented. i would imagine that i have never seen two for one. >> we now a twofer, a twofer. exactly, exactly. i mean, and it usually when we think of recalls, we think of that going on somewhere else. but this in the bay area has become sort of ground zero for discontent. we, the san francisco recalled members of the school board. they recalled the district attorney. and then they went. and now we're doing there's a thing in oakland for the alameda county district attorney and the mayor. and this all of them, what they one thing they have in common is they're all on the progressive left side of the political scale, where this area

seems was embracing a few years ago. and now seems to be putting them on recall, we've become a little recall. >> happy. yeah. >> it seems like who's next. >> well, it there's always that question of who's next. and it's become easier in some ways to do a recall. we have signature gatherers out there. you can pay people to go out and collect signatures. it's become sort of a business. and if you have some money and discontent, there is a chance you can get recalled. and we have plenty of money in the bay area and a lot of discontent right now, whether it be for crime or the cost of living, whatever voters are grumpy and they're being given a choice, not one that they would would have thought of before. but it's like once one broke through. now more and more are happening right? >> yeah, the threshold seems to be easier to get to the point where we're going to try to recall. >> exactly, and we let it off with the attempted recall of governor gavin newsom. now he beat it back. i'm not so sure that that's the locals are having as good of a will have, as good of a chance of beating

it back as he did. >> okay. all right, phil, thank you for that perspective. all right. >> coming up here next what the san francisco giants are doing to give fans a chance to grieve the loss of willie mays together here at oracle park this week. >> plus, parents feeling guilty about how much screen time their kids get. don't why? that's the don't just treat it. crush it with mavyret. conquer it with mavyret. cure it. with mavyret. mavyret cures all types of hep c. in only 8 weeks. the virus multiplies daily and can damage the liver over time.

it's great ball players and great american willie mays. he passed away peacefully yesterday at the age of 93. as you've heard. the memorial at the willie mays statue outside san francisco's oracle park continues to grow. fans placing

flowers and notes reflecting on the legacy of the say hey kid, my dad went to opening day, the first giants game ever, steel stadium in 58, and got to see willie mays play. >> and i lost my dad almost two years ago. sorry. i brought flowers for, for willie, but for my dad, too. >> very touching. this afternoon on our 3 p.m. program. getting answers. former giants first baseman j.t. snow shared some of his memories about the hall of famer. >> the one thing i always remember about willie is he always wore a hat everywhere he went. when he went to the white house, parades. and it always had the g on it. he would never wear an sf hat or a new york hat. it was always a hat right there seeing the videos with the g on it, because he just considers himself a giant, not a san francisco giant, not a new york giant, but just a giant. and he was a giant among players. and i got nervous asking him for his autograph the first time because he was larger

than life. >> the giants added a special patch to their uniforms in honor of willie mays. it's a circle with the number 24 and mays name written inside the giants started wearing the mays patch today and will continue to wear it for the rest of the season. tomorrow, the giants will play the cardinals in mays hometown of birmingham, alabama. the game will be played at rickwood field, where a teenage mays began his pro career in 1948. the giants will open oracle park for fans to pay their respects and sign a condolence book. gates opened at noon for that. the game will be streamed on the big screen at 4:15 p.m. abc seven news sports anchor chris alvarez is going to birmingham, alabama. he'll bring us live reports tomorrow right here on abc seven news events across the bay area today are marking juneteenth. >> juneteenth officially became a federal holiday in 2021. it celebrates june 19th, 1865, when the last enslaved people in texas found out they were free. two and a half years after the

emancipation proclamation. abc's seven news reporter tim johns has highlights from a juneteenth event at san francisco's golden gate park. way down each place, it was an emotional commemoration of juneteenth at san francisco's golden gate park wednesday. >> hundreds gathering for songs, speeches and to help recreate a live art installation in honor of the holiday. >> let's talk about the harm. let's talk about the generational terror. let's talk about how it impacts people today. >> dana king is the artist behind the installation. she tells me. back in 2020, protesters tore down a statue of known slave owner and star spangled banner author francis scott key. it was part of a nationwide movement sparked by the murder of george floyd in minneapolis a year later, king created a new work of art around the plinth, where key statue once stood, this time with a nod to juneteenth. >> in 2021, i surrounded that plinth with 350 ancestral

figures that represent the beginning of the business of slavery. >> king's art stood here at golden gate park until earlier this year on wednesday. she wanted to recreate it once again in honor of the holiday, this time with real people, namely black women. >> children were taken from us. we were raped by our enslavers. we were we were purchase it just to, bring new life into chattel slavery. >> king says the work she's been able to do over the past few years wouldn't have been possible without the help of the city. phil ginsburg is the general manager of the san francisco recreation and parks department. he says he's proud that the city has taken a leading role nationwide. on the topic of social justice, parks are the most democratic institution we have left. >> it is where we are all equal and equally welcome and representation does matter. >> as for king, she says, even though this was only a one day recreation, her work is far from done. she plans on continuing to use her art as a way to express

her beliefs and her culture. it's not over because oppression still exists in this country and around the world. in san francisco. tim johns abc seven news okay, let's take a look at our weather. >> you can see that it was not bad outside today. >> no, but it's going to warm up. meteorologist sandra patel is here with the forecast. sandra. yeah. >> tomorrow it's going to be a gradual warm up. but then you're really going to feel the heat. dan and omar as we head towards friday and saturday. right now we're getting a break from that heat as spring is winding down. summer starts tomorrow at 150 in the afternoon and it's starting to look like summer from the golden gate bridge, where the fog is just socked in the bridge there, we have a nice breeze coming through and those temperatures have dropped 14 degrees cooler in novato, down 17 in santa rosa, seven degrees cooler. san francisco, hayward five degrees oakland, ten degrees cooler in livermore and down nine in san jose. as we take a look at the winds, they have really ramped up, gusting

through tough times. london breed led us through the pandemic, declaring an emergency before anyone else, saving thousands of lives. from growing up in the western addition housing projects to becoming mayor, london has never given up on the city

that raised her. london is getting people off the streets and into care. london never gave up on me. i found a home, and my life is on the right track. london made it super easy for me to open my small business, by cutting city fees. and she's reinventing downtown to make our city vibrant again. she's building 82,000 new homes and helping first time homebuyers, just like us. and london's hiring hundreds of police officers, and arresting drug dealers. san francisco has been through difficult times, but our hard work is paying off. working together, we're building a better future for the city we all love. ad paid for by re-elect mayor london breed 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org.

that is the highest low income threshold anywhere in the nation, by the way. but san mateo is just one of the bay area counties now being forced by state law to increase the number of homes to provide more housing for lower income households. >> building a better bay area is dependent on that new housing being built. so abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is asking why so many communities are resistant to new neighbors. >> leanne. well i did major in math, but it's simple economics for many years, cities in the bay have said, let's build, build, build. but far away in livermore, tracy, antioch, brentwood out there now, the state has said it's time to build in your backyard. so why then, are so many communities still fighting against new development? that's what we wanted to know. >> reporter people in san mateo like to keep things the way they are. there's a belief here that traditions never really go out

of style, except that when it comes to new construction, the status quo here is being challenged by a state mandate to build more housing. >> in the case of san mateo, they have to make a plan for where you could build 7015 units. >> san mateo is now being sued by the housing action coalition because their plan to build more housing isn't happening quickly enough. >> as we look at their list of where they say that it is possible to build housing, they included a lot of sites that are unrealistic. >> in fact, the entire county of san mateo has the highest percentage of non-compliant housing elements out of all nine bay area counties. the state has determined that 21 cities within san mateo county have to increase the number of market rate and below market rate units. >> i like to look at this as you know, as a wake up call. >> bilbray's plan, for example, is to build more than 3800 units in the next seven years. how

close are you? >> you know, we're just like i said a moment ago, we just put, you know, we just approved over 1300 units. millbrae is at the table and we're producing housing exactly where transit is. and so folks who comes in and live here and work at millbrae, they don't even need a private vehicle. >> on the other hand, the state is requiring san mateo, the city, to build the most units in the entire county, which to some seems excessive. >> you know, we live here because it's suburban, right? emphasis on the sub, and we like our charming small downtown. we like our walkability. >> michael weinhauer is with san mateo residents speak, a group whose intentions are clear. here's how they describe themselves on their website. nor are they willing to sacrifice their homes, neighborhoods, or quality of life or character of their historic downtown in the process. now that sounds like a nimby person to me, but make the point. >> everything here is built so it's kind of a zero sum game. in

order to build something new, you have to tear something else down. >> take this lot, for example, purchased by a developer, several small businesses, and even a small housing unit were torn down. the city relocated, the residents and small businesses. now some in city government want to increase development by getting rid of measure y, which sets limits on new residential building heights and densities. >> we've avoided that topic for 50 plus years, and it's gotten so expensive here in the peninsula and we have a nice lifestyle here, but we need to share it. >> the question some may ask themselves is how will their children be able to live in the city they grew up in? >> just like my son, he's 30 years old and he cannot afford to afford to live on his own. >> as we've discovered, it's no longer about being a nimby or not being a nimby. it's not that black and white. there are different shades of nimbyism with plenty of ifs and buts to

justify their argument. >> if you've grown up living in a single family home, and all of a sudden someone wants to put a4a4 story building next to your house, i can see that's an issue . >> weinhauer has supported every development here, but says going forward, san mateo city officials have to act responsibly when it comes to this kind of expansion. for example, addressing the infrastructure needed to accommodate more people here and the increase in traffic that this expansion will create. the state says it's a compromise all californians now have to learn to live with. >> that's what state law requires, is that every city do its fair share and not say, well, this is somebody else's problem. let the housing be built someplace else. every single city has to do its part. >> and as they say, a good compromise leaves everyone unhappy. now, the reason san

mateo, the city is being sued is because they have identified places like the parking lot at the bridgepoint shopping center to build on. but apparently san mateo didn't do its homework because we discovered that there is an existing contract that says that no homes can be built on that site until 2056. so the attorneys suing say this is just another example of san mateo not getting it right and therefore stalling the process. now, we were discussing that the medium price for a home in san mateo county is $1.9 million, so you have to make $500,000 just to qualify. >> and then you can still barely. >> what is that? >> right? yeah. at that price. and people around the country just those are just jaw dropping numbers. shocking. they can't even relate. >> insane. >> it's insane. i feel, you know, i feel most bad for young people who are right in their 20s, 30s, even in their 40s. it's hard to buy houses. >> yeah, we want to live close to their parents.

>> yeah. all right. thanks very much. >> it is juneteenth today. still ahead, see how the east bay celebrated. >> and coming up it is it time for a tobacco moment for screens, social media and kids

feel bad about letting their kids get screen time, even if they think it's too much. in a recent study, researchers found parents who feel guilty about their kids screen use are more stressed and less likely to report positive relationships with their kids, researchers say. we shouldn't stigmatize kids who use screens, or parents who let their kids use screens. >> and california's biggest school district, los angeles unified, will ban phones and social media on school campuses. the school board approved the idea yesterday and will spend the next four months coming up with a plan to implement this ban by january of next year. big change there. and the district's concerns included cyberbullying, as well as kids being distracted in class. >> and this could be just the start of a sea change when it comes to kids. and social media reporter denise dador from our sister station in los angeles, talked to a doctor who says this

is a tobacco moment. >> more voices joining the chorus about the growing dangers of young minds in digital spaces , cell phones and the social media use is contributing predominantly negatively towards the mental health crisis that we're seeing in youth. a clinical psychologist, stephanie marcy, says social media is facing a tobacco moment akin to a time when people didn't realize how harmful tobacco was. now, mounting evidence shows what kids see on various platforms can lead to depression and anxiety. but, she adds, cyberbullying is reaching new heights. >> i'm hearing about kids videotaping things that they shouldn't be, or taking pictures of things and then being shared with other students and the child doesn't want to go back to school. >> doctor marcy says the concern isn't just what happens online, but what doesn't happen offline. >> when kids are distracted, it totally divides their attention and it impacts their ability to engage socially and academically . and the same is extremely true if they're in the classroom. >> in other school districts that limit phones, she says. academic interest and

socialization all improve, she says. la ucsd's ban is a positive and necessary step, but it can't work without similar restrictions at home. as a mom, this is what she tells her teens. >> i tell them this isn't a punishment uh- you lack the discipline to be able to limit your time on screens. it's our responsibility as parents to sort of be that prefrontal cortex for you and help you separate from something that is distracting. >> lausd will review various strategies to restrict cell phone use in the new school year, but whether it's locked pouches or a cell phone cabinet, doctor marcy says when rules are broken, the policy should include consequences that are meaningful to teens. denise dador, abc7 news. >> summer starts tomorrow. see sandias forecast from the solstice to the seven day max
