possibility exists that we might lose some. and is it concerning? of course. yeah, sure. >> morton is concerned that the united states political landscape is shifting to the right, which threatens women's rights and control over their bodies. they say that's why coming out this year is extra important. it's to send a strong political message. >> it's important to come back and go. separation of church and state, and we're all people. and where love is, god is. there's a lot of things to celebrate and to react in a positive way to the crowds poured into the castro with the usual fanfare and rainbow themed outfits, tony harris set up a sidewalk shop selling pride themed dog clothes. >> there's a spirit out here that you feel and a connection of people and, you know, hearing the word love and speaking to strangers because it is here and it is real. >> cliff's variety store is a staple in the castro. it's been open more than 80 years. their wigs and fabrics are in high

demand this time of year. >> this is a very busy day, one of the busiest of the year. >> cleon the fever says foot traffic is up with lots more foreign tourists. he says pride is a big draw, in part because san francisco provides a place where people can feel safe and it's always been home to free thinkers, people who, you know, have expressed their opinions in different ways. >> and it's just been always tolerated here. >> saturday night, city hall was lit up pink to mark pride weekend, and in anticipation of sunday's grand parade in san francisco, anser hassan. abc, seven news and abc seven is proud to be celebrating pride all month and all year round. >> pride festivities are in full swing with the main event, the pride parade, coming up this morning. people are packing the streets for the 54th annual pride parade. organizers say more than a million spectators may come out for today's parade down market street. it is one of the biggest lgbtq plus

to celebrate pride? >> because i know as a child growing up in kentucky in the 1970s that i would see the parade once a year and i knew that someday, if i could get here, i could be me. and i think i want to make sure that that kids all over the country can say, see, lgbtq leaders. they can see the city of san francisco not tolerate us, but celebrate us. and they can see that here we live up to the values that our forefathers put out. we're going to all people are equal and we're going to be inclusive at sf pride, not tolerate but celebrate. >> i love that. and suzanne, you know, i was just outside. it looks like you're going to have a beautiful day for the parade. it's sunny out there, but maybe a little warmer than a lot of people are used to for san francisco. so any tips for people who are getting ready to head out the door pretty soon for the parade? >> yes. hydrate and bring a bring some extra water. make sure because it could be you know, the parade is 225 contingents. it's going to be a

official station for the san francisco pride parade. our coverage starts at 10:00. see it wherever you watch abc7. we have that countdown on our screen too, so you can see when it's kicking off. well, new this morning, governor gavin newsom signed california's budget to close an estimated $46 billion deficit. the move was made possible through $16 billion in spending cuts and increased taxes on certain businesses. companies with at least $1 million in revenue will have to pay the higher tax. lawmakers predict this will bring in an extra $5 billion for the state next year. the deficit was about $32 billion last year before it grew even bigger this year, fire officials say a fire that erupted in bay point overnight is not expected to threaten surrounding structures, contra costa county fire says. calls came in about the three acre fire just before 11 p.m. near port chicago highway and wharf drive. the strong winds did cause some concern into the morning hours. the cause of the

fire is still unclear right now. in the south bay, firefighters battled flames in the hills of east san jose. an abc seven viewer sent us this video of the fire on balcom road, san jose. fire says the flames are under control, but firefighters remained on scene overnight to make sure the fire is completely out and firefighters are making progress on a wildfire that began in el dorado county yesterday afternoon. all evacuation warnings and orders have been lifted near the community of greenwood, west of i 80. state highway 193 has reopened. the fire is now 25% contained and burned nearly 16 acres, worsening wildfires in the bay area are brutal for wine grape growers. there's new help to protect them from losses because of smoke damage. grape growers lost hundreds of millions of dollars in 2020, and the start of this fire season is already really rough. wineries south of lake sonoma are still dealing with smoke and fire retardant damage from the point

fire earlier this month. >> i'm still in shock that it it, it actually devastated the property as much as it did, but i am just so grateful that we didn't lose anything else. >> the u.s. department of agriculture will roll out a wildfire smoke coverage option to insurance policies, starting in the 2025 crop year. growers will not have to document their losses. they'll get paid out based on the number of intense smoke days in their county happening tomorrow. it's going to cost a little more to cross the golden gate bridge. fares will rise by $0.50 to help address a budget deficit. they will go up every year for the next four years. if you have fast track, it's going to cost $9.25. for those with a pay as you go account, it will be 950. the toll increases are expected to create $139 million in revenue, but that still might not be enough to raise the

deficit. that's pegged at about $220 million for those who ride golden gate transit or golden gate ferry. the fares are also going up tomorrow. they'll increase by a quarter. like the bridge. they'll be going up every year until 2028. now let's get a check of that forecast for this sunday. on this pride sunday with lisa. good morning lisa. >> hey gloria 66 degrees. there's a look at the pink triangle here in san francisco. it's 61 at the coast. and we've got 80s already inland. but believe it or not, today's the coolest day out of the next seven. we've got a heat wave that is going to get jump started tomorrow. hottest days of the week tuesday and wednesday. stay tuned. my accuweather seven day forecast is next. >> all right lisa thank you so much. and also ahead new laws take effect tomorrow. bars statewide are now required to have this item to test for date rape drugs and sale pending in san francisco. the offer being made on the house that originally required the buyer to move in 30 years from now. the

mixed results and reactions, and the july first bump in pay for health care workers will likely be delayed until october. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn takes a look at the minimum wage issue in our state. >> we do a lot of work for what we get paid for. >> laurie viramontes has been a health care worker. for more than two decades. she's a medical assistant on july 1st, health care workers in california are supposed to see their minimum wage bumped up to $25 an hour. that doesn't affect viramontes, but she says it will impact many other health care workers who don't make enough. >> i feel like in private practice, they overwork you and underpay you by far. >> they deserve to be compensated for all that work that they're doing. >> because california faces a $46 billion shortfall, state democrats agreed to delay the planned minimum wage bump for health care workers until october 15th. san francisco state professor john logan is chair of the labor and economics department. he says the minimum wage increase is needed. there's

a big problem with recruiting and retaining some health care workers. >> they're also doing it to try to make sure that we actually have the health care workers that we need now, and that we're going to desperately need in the future. >> in april, the state boosted the minimum wage up to $20 an hour for fast food workers. the owner of this mcdonald's at stonestown galleria says he made a gut wrenching decision to close this past weekend because of two reasons a disagreement on a lease term with the building's landlord and then the rising costs of running the restaurant, including the new state mandated $20 an hour minimum wage for fast food workers. chris thornberg is the founder of beacon economics. >> when you raise the minimum wage that either has to come out of the, the, the, the manager or the owners pocket or it gets passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher price. >> we're starting to see the impacts of higher minimum wages. thornberg believes there will be fewer restaurants. people will pay higher prices, and in the case of 16 to 19 year olds,

unemployment rates have increased. others say better wages are a must for people who serve and care for us, and the wage increases will pave the way for changes in other states and industries. in san francisco, suzanne phan, abc seven news. >> if you want to know what other state laws are taking effect tomorrow, we have you covered. we put a list together that you can read and share with your friends. it's on abc seven news.com. and now to the beginning of what could be a new tradition in san francisco's outer sunset district. take a look great highway for the inaugural oceanside 4th of july parade. the city has not held an independence day parade since the bicentennial. that was in 1976. you could see one of the two bands right there. there were also 25 dancers, as well as several parents and kids that took part. supervisor joel engardio organized the event because he says it's the time.

it's about time. the city had its own 4th of july parade, an event like this tells the world we are not a doom loop. >> it tells the world that we have a lot of joy and we're creating more of it. and we are imaginative or innovative, and we're going to create our best san francisco organizers had the parade to make sure that people who already had plans for the holiday could attend. >> the supervisor says the plan is to have this on july 4th next year. and on the peninsula, people were out buying fireworks in pacifica ahead of the holiday. that's one of the few places in the bay area where you can legally purchase them. san bruno, dublin union city and gilroy also legally sell so-called safe and sane fireworks, and so far sales in pacifica are going strong. >> our biggest sales right now is the atomic salsa we have. these have been going off the shelves, flying off the shelves. i've had to restock them like four times already.

>> and the sale was an annual fundraiser for the pacifica sirens girls softball league. fire officials are urging people who buy safe and sane fireworks to be cautious while celebrating not only for personal safety but also the high risk of fire danger. very important. well meteorologist lisa argen is tracking the forecast. and, lisa, we're counting down to the parade. pride parade is going to kick off pretty soon, so people are still figuring out what to wear. what do you suggest? >> it's beautiful out there right now. the winds are light. the winds are going to kick up though later on today, and we'll see some breezy to gusty winds at the coast and that fog is going to get pulled back into the san mateo county coastline. but right now it's all about the system to the north, just allowing for a very pleasant day here locally. once that system passes over us, it's all about high pressure building in and that heat dome coming back into play. there's a look at the fog southern california, and in the next couple of hours it will be

back. a little hazy look from our pier 39 camera. swung it around out towards alcatraz, where already 66 degrees downtown, 69, in oakland. it's 73. in hayward, low 60s half moon bay and 76 in san jose. beautiful view from our exploratorium camera. look how warm it is from the mid 70s in livermore, upper 70s in concord. we've got 80 in santa rosa, and in between some low 70s from petaluma and napa. so just a light breeze right now. sunny skies, mild conditions, low 70s on the way for the afternoon in san francisco with a steadily increasing sea breeze. then the headline for the week ahead is an excessive heat warning for all of our inland valleys, the interior hills and mountains, and a heat advisory for the bay shore. so far, san francisco and the coast. no advisories as you will be cooler with the influence of the marine air and mother nature's free ac. but many triple digits arriving certainly tuesday, maybe even

tomorrow. here's a look at how that fog is going to play into your sunday afternoon. here it is, 1130 and it's creeping up the coast. there from half moon bay to pacifica and then closing in there, allowing for that sea breeze to kick up. and it's going to get quite gusty right at our beaches. so right now it's pleasant. but as we get towards the one 2:00 hour, 25 miles an hour and then late in the day, maybe 30 plus miles an hour, here's a look at what the national weather service has posted for an excessive heat warning in pink. so that's essentially the entire bay area, except right along the bay. that's where it's a heat advisory. temperatures in the 80s to 90s. they're triple digits in the red. and then you'll notice that san francisco and the coast have been left out of that. but tuesday, check it out. one of the hottest days over 106 for you by the delta. maybe 110. hate to even say that. 102 in sonoma, 80s in oakland, san francisco's pleasant into wednesday, but look at that. 107 in livermore,

90 in mountain view, right on through the fourth. but guess what? fog free conditions for fireworks. although fire danger will be extremely elevated, so be very careful over the week ahead. and the holiday for many of you. for all of us. 92 and livermore 95. santa rosa today. so check out the trend. the accuweather seven day forecast. the heat wave begins tomorrow, then excessive heat warning as we get into tuesday and the advisory and as we go through the rest of the workweek, we actually probably will see the heat stick around into next weekend. more news after the break. >> enjoy the fireworks and save thousands with 1.9% during the july 4th sales event, new honda's with 1.9 gas or hybrid hybrids get 614 miles per tank. >> ask anyone who owns a honda and search your local honda dealer. >> hey brenda, two carts again? >> shopping for office and shopping for home. you know, one

seven news reporter lyanne melendez tells us. it's the only way to guarantee union square's survival. >> union square was the shopping mecca of the bay area, always the place to be seen where demonstrators found a voice. bands entertained, mayors held wine festivals, while another used it to launch his campaign. not to mention, a us president has been on the square. everyone found their way here, even a man and his rat. and the 1980s was unofficially the golden age of union square. and city planners did their best to keep the office sector away. that person waving below is me because i want to show you how kearny street was once the dividing line between the financial district and union square. so office spaces stayed confined to that side of kearny, basically preventing them from entering union square. >> we wanted, i think, as a city, to really protect union

square because it represented a global enterprise. >> but everyone knows a business district has to evolve to thrive, and it took the city decades to finally own up to that. >> the idea that a flagship store needs two stories, you know, maybe even three, is very much outdated. >> larissa ortiz, a former new york city planning commissioner, was called in to help understand what was keeping union square from succeeding. >> we uncovered that some of the zoning codes were really a bit antiquated. they were legacy codes for a time. you know, that no longer existed. >> so in the past, the old zoning laws determined that a landlord with three leasable floors could only rent that space to one company. >> you needed three levels of retail or whatever it was. and so why not get, you know, do away with that and instead create flexibility and say, what is it that you want to do? i just want this on the first

floor and maybe something else on the second floor and maybe something different on the third, or i just want the first. excellent. let's make that work for you both. >> mayor london breed and supervisor aaron peskin came up with the legislation to change the zoning laws here, which the board of supervisors then approved a year ago. how many businesses do you have on the books? >> yeah, so i think that take advantage of these new zoning laws we're hearing, which we weren't hearing last year. you know, wow, the tours are picking up. people are interested, they're sniffing around. they want to know what what they can do here. and apparently they're getting some some deals done right from deal making to opening can be a year. it could be two years, right? takes time. >> so we really don't know how many businesses have taken advantage of the code changes. we know they work to make. new york city's wall street financial area facing a massive exodus following nine over 11, the city allowed for a radical change from office only spaces to residential and new businesses, which today has led

to a thriving neighborhood. part of the revitalization of union square will depend on voters approving a bond measure, part of it going towards the powell street improvement plan. powell street, with its cable cars, have long been the gateway to union square. >> i really think with focus attention, the right investment union square can be back in a year and a half. we will see it in san francisco. >> leon melendez, abc seven news. >> and stay with us still to come on abc seven mornings reggie aqui is live from the parade route with details about abc seven's parade coverage coming up. it starts with coverage at 10 a.m. of bay area life pride edition, and the parade starts at 1030. abc seven is the exclusive media partner of the 54th san francisco pride parade. stay with us. we'll be right back. >> grand sierra resort presents the art of balance for her. it's a world of tranquility at our

75,000 jobs that we talked about are possibly off the table entirely. >> the vta project is competing with other transportation projects in the country for the federal funding. the project had already seen delays and the costs go up all of this as bart expects to run out of $1.9 billion in federal and state assistance by april of 2026. still, chavez said the project is worth the federal government's investment because of the local investment. like the unions representing workers, chavez said she's also concerned about what happens if the federal government does not grant the funding. >> we can't go back and tax our our folks again. they've given an awful lot. so we're really limited and where we can get funds. >> chavez said the federal government will let vta know sometime in the next 20 days as to what their recommended contribution will be in santa clara county, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, now let's get a check of your sunday forecast with lisa. good morning lisa. >> hey, gloria, look at all the gorgeous blue sky out there from emeryville. temperatures near 70 degrees right now. we were near average yesterday. low to mid
