been a game changer for them for fighting crime. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena was at the press conference where the mayor said crime is down, in part because police are using those drones. luis. >> that's right. larry. sfpd has six drones and ten police officers certified to fly them. so far, the program is costing the city $35,000. in. the plan is to expand it. today's san francisco police chief bill scott said the cost and resources have been worth the investment. they are the new eyes in the sky. san francisco police officers are using from crime scenes and minutes later, leading officers directly to an arrest. >> drones have already assisted sfpd in numerous cases, including a sexual assault suspect that was arrested, several auto burglary suspects that were arrested earlier this year. >> san francisco voters approved mayor breed's proposition e, allowing for the use of surveillance cameras and drones to pursue suspects. now they're first data points are out. police say these drones are

working, confirming the arrests of several suspects. drones caught. >> we have a sense of urgency to make this a safe city and to do the things that the people in this city deserve, san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins said. >> these videos were key to prosecute these suspects as a result of that arrest and that footage, we were able to file auto burglary charges on individuals who, quite frankly, two of them are repeat offenders of crime. so far, sfpd only deploys the drones after receiving intel of a potential crime in progress. but the plan is to expand the use of drones in problematic areas around the city to get the resources and equipment to the area that's being impacted by crime and deploy from areas that are impacted. >> that's certainly one of the strategies the use of drones by law enforcement is concerning for the electronic frontier foundation is disturbing that sfpd hasn't publicly released

its policy related to the drones. >> there is currently a california state law, ab 481, that is meant to dictate transparency. chief scott said. >> they're following the law. >> we don't believe we're violating state law at all. as a matter of fact, we believe we're in compliance with state law. >> mayor breed is now promising program. >> when you cross those lines here in san francisco, there will be consequences. >> and regarding issues of privacy, sfpd tells us they're only storing video of crimes and will only keep it until the case is prosecuted. chief bill scott said all other videos will be deleted within 30 days. luz pena, abc seven news. >> luz. thank you. right now, san francisco transit leaders are debating a big change to how drivers navigate the city in order to keep pedestrians safe. the sfmta board of directors is considering a plan that would allow right turns at red lights to be banned anywhere in san francisco. the agency is already adding no turn on red signs

across downtown. the plan, up for a vote right now, would allow the agency to put up the signs anywhere in the city. the sfmta says it will focus on intersections with high foot traffic and a history of crashes. advocates say, with the walk, sf say it's a good step for safety. >> it was something that we see as a conflict in the crosswalk between pedestrians and cars, and it's one way to address that conflict. >> the mission in nob hill could be priority areas for future expansion. after the sfmta finishes adding signs downtown ac transit is cracking down on drivers who park in bus lanes. 100 busses have been equipped with ai powered cameras that can detect when a vehicle is illegally stopped or parked in a bus lane. >> what we train these these cameras, what we train the software to do is to recognize a number of things. bus lines, bus lane dimensions, the size of the bus, the bus stop itself. if it

does not recognize or falls outside of those parameters, then it captures a photo and a ten second video. >> those videos and photos are sent to the cloud and then reviewed by sheriff's deputy, who will determine if the vehicle is in violation. ac transit will start issuing warnings tomorrow. ticketing starts in october. the citation will be $110. >> the oakland police union is asking for mayor sheng tao's immediate resignation. in a letter sent to the mayor, the union says her policies have made it harder for police to fight crime. they also say mayor tao's credibility has been shattered by the fbi raid of her home last month. the oakland police officers association is also critical of a budget proposal to cut police staffing. >> 25 years ago, when i came here as a young police officer, we had 750 police officers. we're working backward. if we think that we can function at 600 police officer or 678 police officer in this city this afternoon, mayor shengtao told

abc seven news the police union letter is a distraction. >> she says crime is actually going down and it's below historic highs. mayor tao says the budget prevents deep cuts to police staffing and avoids layoffs of any city workers. >> new developments today in the case of a rising star in the san francisco political world, now charged with rape, 35 year old john jacobo pleaded not guilty to four charges, including rape and domestic violence, in a packed courtroom today. he was denied bail. jacobo is the ex-director of a powerful housing nonprofit. he resigned earlier this year after our partner, the san francisco standard, reported on allegations of abuse. at least three women filed police reports over alleged assaults and harassment. jacobo's next court hearing is set for friday. >> well, the lights have gone out for solar power giant sunpower. that company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy just a month after laying off hundreds of california employees. >> abc7 news reporter lena howland looks at what led up to the company's decline.

>> reporter for nearly 40 years, sunpower has been keeping the lights on through solar panels in millions of homes nationwide. >> they were one of the early manufacturers of premium solar panels. >> but on monday, the company announced they're filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy as solar panels got cheaper and cheaper. >> you know, it just became harder and harder for premium solar panel manufacturers that were using a little bit of older technology to compete with the up and rising stars from china, really. >> dustin mulvaney is an environmental studies professor at san jose state university. he says the company stopped manufacturing a few years back, which didn't help. but he says policy changes, leading to fewer incentives to install solar panels also hurt the company. >> we undermined incentives. it's not as economic for a roof for a ratepayer, in p-g-and-e's territory to put solar panels on the roof. it just doesn't pencil out all the time. and that has hit the rooftop solar industry

pretty hard with monday's bankruptcy announcement, sunpower also said they plan to sell off some of its remaining assets to another company called complete solaria, out of fremont for $45 million. >> in a statement, tom warner, executive chairman at sunpower, said in light of the challenges sunpower has faced, the proposed transaction offers a significant opportunity for key parts of our business to continue our legacy under new ownership. a former sunpower employee tells us. the last san jose location actually shut down at the end of june, according to data from the state's economic development department. that's when 358 people were laid off. >> they have carried a lot of debt for a long time, dan kammen is a uc berkeley energy professor. >> he says despite having sunpower panels on his own roof, he saw this coming. >> we now know they've been doing some what are called fire sales. they've been selling off some divisions at low cost to raise some capital, which normally you have to do if

you're going to be paying off employees in san jose. >> lena howland, abc seven news. >> california is getting $600 million to improve its power grid. the grant from the department of energy will be used to upgrade 100 miles of electric transmission lines. the investment will save an estimated $200 million just from improved grid efficiency. that money will also be used for training programs for utility workers. >> daly city is doing its part to build a better bay area by helping fight the housing crisis. there was a ribbon cutting today for a new affordable housing development along east moore avenue. the east moore heights complex is designated housing for k through eight public school teachers and staff. daly city partnered with the jefferson elementary school district to fund 56 rental units. >> it provides us with an affordable place, a sturdy roof over our heads and more importantly, giving us a chance to be closer to our work and thereby being able to continue serving the students and the parents in the community better.

>> the school district estimates 56 to 70 employees will live in the units. eastmoor heights is the first facility of its kind in san mateo county for a california k through eight school district. >> we are continuing to follow the story of an unhoused man whose van was destroyed in a fire last month. that man is undergoing treatment for stage four cancer, his oncology team has found him a temporary home. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez has the details. >> this is a studio gifted from stanford. >> ryan, six shows me the airbnb in emeryville, where he and his three dogs are now staying after a fire damaged the van in berkeley, where they lived. >> i finally feel safe. i don't have to look around. while i'm cooking. it's all. yeah, it's very comfortable. >> the fire on haines avenue and seventh street last wednesday destroyed an industrial building and left his van, burned out his windows blown out, and the van unlivable. six has stage four

harris asking minnesota governor tim walz to be her running mate. >> and then the pair made their first appearance to voters in philadelphia. a short time ago. here's abc news reporter jay o'brien. >> i couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket and to help vice president harris become what we all know is very, very good for us to think about next, president of the united states of america. >> vice president kamala harris announcing her vp pick. minnesota governor tim walz. >> i coached football and taught social studies for 20 years, introducing himself to the nation in a new video posted on x respect compromise service to country. and so when i went into government, that's what i carried with me. >> the choice made at a rapid speed. in the two weeks since president biden dropped out, praised by a cross section of the democratic party from progressives to moderates, she had someone in tim walz, that one she trusted, two, that she saw as someone that's going to bring something else to this

ticket. president biden, calling both harris and waltz today, the vice president. sources familiar with the decision tell abc news. drawn to waltz's midwestern roots, his executive experience as governor and his background. a former teacher, longtime member of the army national guard and congressman with a history of supporting blue collar issues. waltz, also known for his plain spoken campaign style, recently labeling president trump and his running mate senator jd vance as weird. >> you do not need your elected officials to give you a sermon, and these guys are weird on how they frame it. >> the trump campaign calling waltz dangerously liberal. the former president posting simply thank you on social media. vance holding his own campaign event in philadelphia, reacting to his new opponent. >> but i think that what tim waltz selection says is that kamala harris has bent the knee to the far left of her party, which is what she always does after that philadelphia rally, harrison was expected to blitz six more battleground states in five days.

>> jay o'brien, abc news, washington. >> and governor walz did not waste any time at today's rally, throwing a few jabs at former president trump. >> donald trump sees the world a little differently than us. first of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service he doesn't have time for it because he's too busy serving himself. he mocks our laws. he sows chaos and division. and that's to say nothing of his record is president. >> all right. abc seven news insider phil matier is here with us now to give us a little more insight into the selection and the debut of walls. so what do you think? how did he do in his debut rally? he did fine. >> okay. come across it's interesting. you know when it comes to vice presidents we have this sort of split personality. does the candidate bring something to the table? what does it do to the campaign? it's

the second most important job in america. on the other hand, is it doesn't really make a difference. they don't really do anything once they get elected. but if something happens to the president, they're the one in charge. so we have this sort of strange relationship with the position, but it comes down to this initially, is that it's kind of like an nfl when you have a kickoff in a big game, what's the one thing that the receiver needs to do? catch the ball right, not drop it. it really is the point, not drop it, because that will shift the whole game plan. we've seen vice presidential candidates drop the ball out of the gate. he has been tested in congress. he's run and he's been as a governor. i don't see him as a person that's dropping a ball any time soon. he's going to be able to run with it. i don't know how far he gets, but he's not going to drop the ball. >> you could see, and i don't know if they've spent a lot of time together. but there is clearly some chemistry between kamala harris and walls. >> well it is it is. they're both on a very exciting ride. i mean, larry, let's take a look at it. 3 or 4 weeks ago, it was

a it wasn't a run for the reelection. it was a almost like a death march. everybody was sitting around going, we have no energy. the president, is he going to make it? what's going on? the revitalization of the democratic party with the exit of joe biden and the entrance of kamala harris, has put things in warp speed. yes. everybody is on a magical carpet ride right now. there were 10,000 people packed into that arena. we wouldn't have seen that 3 or 4 weeks ago necessarily. we wouldn't have seen the level of energy. so where that translates outside the party, outside the arena remains to be seen. it's going to be up to him to try to sell it to the midwest as a form of football coach, high school teacher, a down home guy who's not a washington elite. that's part of the attraction she had for that pick and veteran, too, right? >> army national guard. so when he talks about you heard him say, hey, trump doesn't know anything about service. he has some street cred talking about service. but i want to ask you about his appearance on the ezra klein show in the new york times. he really talked about san francisco, about how we kind of get a bad rap. let's listen.

>> look, have there been problems? yes homelessness is an issue across the country. it was it was exotic to me. i've seen san francisco on tv, you know, hundreds of times and heard about it. and there i am driving around and i'm like a kid again. i'm like, america is so awesome. san francisco is just the greatest showing us love. >> exactly. >> now, am i going to ask you is that an accurate portrayal or. no, we're going to show some love. and indeed, he did stay in the downtown. he was here at a conference, and he jogged out to the golden gate bridge in back. now, i'll have to say that route is pretty beautiful. pretty exotic. it's a good thing you didn't go through the tenderloin south of market and down towards the castro. okay, but yes, we do get our love. >> exotic. yeah that's a good way to phrase that. >> but you know, that is however what they're going to hang around his neck along with vice president kamala harris is california, california and san francisco liberal san francisco progressives. that's what she looked for. she wanted to embrace it. we're going to see a continuation of the biden administration and the biden

policies. he'll articulate that and try to push the positive. the trump team is going to push the negatives. that's the way it's going to go. and you know, because in some ways, minnesota is like the california of the midwest. you know, it's a very progressive state. but there's downsides to it. you can bet that they're going to have the george floyd videos of the riots going on there. did he call out the national guard in time? did he not? we're going to see a couple of narratives coming out of the gate pretty quick. >> well, you know, all this has been vetted, but do you see democrats being able to maintain this momentum because this i mean, everything has been building to this moment. now you got to go do the campaign together. >> well, all you have to do is get them to vote. i mean, okay. and that's the big thing, is the turnout. can this and they did not anger the progressive wing of the party, which they were worried about. could they energize them and get them to get out and vote? the real question is where the swing and the undecided votes go. and this probably makes the package a lot easier to sell. >> all right. thank you. phil always great chatting with you. turning now to the moon to preserve a bit of humanity and a

baseball record that might break tonight in oakland

regions. the craters are cold enough for cryogenic preservation. researchers were inspired by norway's global seed vault, but even that one is

being affected by climate change, so they hope the moon holds the solution. >> interesting, yeah. speaking of cryogenic preservation, no no no no no no, i like it. knives are out. hey outlast you. well, i don't think there's any professionally and in life. at what's going on with our weather. well, here's our satellite radar composite image. you see, we enjoy our work, don't we, we had a little bit of a marine layer this morning, but it quickly melted away. and of course, we had quite a warm up. right now we're looking at breezy conditions from coast to inland. not any strong gusts there, but 12 to about 18mph. but what a warm up, especially in our inland areas. 24 hours ago it was 17 degrees cooler in

livermore than it is right now. so basically we're looking at a warm up about, 10 to 18 degrees more than we saw last, last night. yesterday. at this time, it's currently 67, in san francisco, 76 in oakland, 82 hayward, 91 in san jose, redwood city, 8561 at half moon bay. notice the absence of fog at the golden gate. other temperature readings right now 92 at santa rosa. we have mid 80s at petaluma and napa, 100 at both fairfield and livermore. concord 96 degrees. and here's the view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco. and these are the forecast headlines. heat lingers a bit tomorrow, maybe not quite so many triple digit readings as we've had today, but it's going to be warm remainder of the week. the heat continues to ease just a bit, but as the weekend approaches, we can expect breezy and cooler weather. certainly by sunday, we're still looking at this heat advisory, which remains in effect in the santa clara valley until 10:00 tonight, once again under these excessively hot conditions, there's an increased risk of heat related illnesses. for tonight, we'll see some high

clouds passing over. not much at all in the way of any coastal clouds or marine layer. so we'll call it partly cloudy overnight with low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 50s. high temperatures tomorrow 62 at half moon bay, mid to upper 70s around the bay shoreline. lots of upper seconds inland. it's possible 1 or 2 locations may top out at about 100 again tomorrow, so we start with 100 degrees as the warmest of the inland locations tomorrow on the accuweather seven day forecast, we'll see mid 90s inland on thursday, friday and saturday. so once again the heat is a bit slow to retreat, but certainly 94 is preferable to 100 degrees as we get into sunday's weather. noticeably cooler turning breezy and even cooler on monday and tuesday of next week. so we've got some nice, pleasant and comfortable weather to look forward to. >> yeah, you don't look a day over 150. i don't care what anybody says, i'm 149. >> cryogenic stuff works. okay. >> yeah, we got to get some of

that. >> okay. a rebound on wall street just one day after stocks plunged more than 1000 points. >> and the dirty little secret about imported avocados. and the california companies that are z's baking the house special. arisa's styling a new look. and steve's filling his biggest order ever.

the southeast. >> abc news reporter somara theodore is tracking the developments from savannah, georgia. >> heavy rain and flooding in the southeast as debby swirls over coastal areas, the storm stalling over georgia and the south carolina coastline, where the flooding could reach catastrophic levels. >> confident there's going to be flooding? we're confident it's going to be a lot of rain. the only question is how much is it

going to be? >> fallen trees in the relentless torrential rain responsible for multiple deaths. parts of south carolina with up to 14in. so far. georgia more than 11. florida close to 19. in charleston, a city vulnerable to flooding, the mayor says pumps have been brought in, as well as high water rescue vehicles. there's a curfew in place there in moultrie, georgia, north of tallahassee. authorities say a 19 year old was killed after a tree fell through his home. at least nine tornadoes reported in south carolina and florida. >> we had absolutely no time to react. it was right on us. all we had time to do was just kind of look at each other and say, run! >> debbie making landfall as a category one hurricane in the big bend area where the panhandle meets the peninsula. in sarasota, cars stranded in the middle of the road, people kayaking on flooded streets, aerial views capturing boats tossed onto the shore, homes submerged the roads can be hazardous when they're underwater. >> don't try to drive through that. take proper precautions. >> there's also significant worries about storm surge. we

could receive up to four feet of storm surge along the south carolina coast. then the remnants of debby take aim into the northeast, hitting cities like philadelphia, washington, d.c, boston and new york. somara theodore. abc news, savannah, georgia. >> all right. and spencer rejoins us for a look at what's next regarding tropical storm debbie. yeah, larry, here's a look at tropical storm debbie. >> this is a big, expansive, massive storm that seems to be maintaining its structure and its rainfall potential as it's moving up along the coast of south carolina right now near charleston. now, over the next several days, we'll see the storm turning inland just a bit, moving away from the coast, moving up through eastern south carolina, then up through north carolina and virginia, past washington, d.c. and by saturday, all the way up into new england, which is pretty amazing because tropical systems don't generally make it that far to the north. and you can see the rainfall potential here. look at the color guide there. you can see that those darker colors of lavender and red indicate where locations could receive five inches or more of

rain from this storm. there have already been locations to the south that received a foot or more of rain from this storm, so it certainly has the flooding potential all the way up the atlantic coast and through new england going into the weekend. kristen. >> all right. thank you. spencer boeing was back on the hot seat today as the national transportation safety board began a two day hearing into the door plug that blew off a boeing plane in january. the hearing began with boeing workers testifying that they felt pressured to do their jobs fast, making it difficult to avoid mistakes. an investigation foun. four bolts that held the door plug in place were not reinstalled after a repair job, the ntsb chair warned boeing executives against using the hearing as a public relations stunt. >> you can talk all about where you are today. there's going to be plenty of time for that. we want to know the safety improvements, but what is very confusing for a lot of people who are watching, who are listening, is what was going on. >> then boeing could face criminal charges for the panel failure.

>> stocks rebounded after yesterday's global sell off sparked the worst day on wall street in nearly two years. the dow adding 294 points. the nasdaq up 167. s&p closed up by 54 points. certainly some relief after the dow plunged more than 1000 points yesterday. the rebound today investors cite several concerns, including high interest rates and that disappointing jobs report. but experts are saying it's too early to panic data that we've seen so far to us at least, is more suggestive of an economic growth slowdown during the balance of the year. >> rather than an outright recession. >> some argue the federal reserve waited too long to slash interest rates. analysts are now predicting the fed will cut rates by half a point before the end of the year. a nonprofit group seeks to expose a dirty secret about avocados imported from mexico. organic consumers association is suing two american producers, fresh del

monte and westpac avocado from california, for knowingly importing avocados from areas that were illegally deforested in mexico. the group says it has evidence the avocado farms are also illegally pumping water from areas that are facing drought. 80% of mexico's avocados exports come to the united states. >> prices and interest rates will eventually go down, but experts say it's a good idea to continue to be frugal. abc news reporter reena roy has tips on how you can shop smarter after months of high costs. >> we're finally seeing some relief with retailers like target, walmart and ikea announcing they're slashing prices right now we are seeing a number of larger national retailers announcing that they're reducing prices on certain items, especially essential items. >> so ultimately, our shopping will be less expensive than it's been. >> we're also expecting an interest rate reduction by the end of the year, but still, smart shopping expert trae bodge says we should stay mindful of

our spending habits. >> so many shoppers have become very good at saving and so what i hope is that as prices come down, consumers will still continue to utilize those frugal shopping practices. you can save even more for a rainy day, for a vacation, for retirement, college education bonds recommends temporarily forgoing what she calls little luxuries. >> things like manicures. >> or if you're paying for someone to clean your home, mow your lawn, clean your car. if you are physically able, you could forego those for a little while, and you will save up very quickly for that thing that you're saving for, she says. >> opting for generic instead of brand names or buying second hand items can help save money. also, keeping an eye out for special deals that apply to certain groups like students, teachers or seniors. there are also apps that automatically scour the web for coupons. >> just doing something as simple as installing a browser extension on your computer. for example, the sidekick buy coupon cabin. once you install it, it takes about 10s. it will

automatically look for savings opportunities for you and even run coupons for you at checkout. that's one of those very easy ways that you can save as you're shopping. >> reena roy, abc news, new york. >> coming up, history on the line tonight at the oakland coliseum. and we warn you now it's here. the pumpkin spice invasion has begun.

want to celebrate. if the a's beat the chicago white sox tonight, the sox would break the american league record for most losses in a row. there are 21 straight right now. if the a's win the next two, the white sox would tie the mlb record. by the way, 2002. you'll remember the athletics set the al record with 20 wins in a row, and that record has since been broken. just to show you how poor the white sox are doing or poorly. yeah, they're the a's are not exactly trying to win a lot of games this year. i don't know if you noticed that. >> yeah, kind of. >> but but the a's have won 20 more games than the white sox who have a chance to break the all time record for 162 game futility set by the oh three tigers. spencer. >> oh my gosh, i remember that. that team. you mean the 1903? >> yeah, well, you does it to himself. i mean, i could you

know, you were there. so. yes. tell us about a couple of three. yeah. >> it's 43 and 119 was their record. unbelievable. and the white sox could eclipse that. >> well you have to root for the a's right. you don't want to see a team have such a long losing streak. it's kind of sad. but we want to see our a's do well as as well. >> exactly. yeah exactly. >> all right you guys. it seems the retail trend of locking products behind plexiglass is actually backfiring. chains like cvs, walgreens and target are keeping everything from toiletries to cleaning supplies locked up. the goal is to cut down on theft. but a recent bloomberg report found what it's really doing is actually driving away customers and sending many of them online. ama, i can see that right. first, it's the message that, ooh, maybe it's not safe to shop here. but second, more importantly, it's just then it just takes you forever to complete your shopping. >> honestly, the safety thing doesn't even cross my mind. but i will think, oh, let me go to this one because everything is out. i can pick it up, i can look at the ingredients if i need to, whatever is in it, instructions. and then there's

the other issue of, can you can somebody help me? thanks. oh, and i need to go get this over here. and it's just maddening. >> i have had the same experience, it's very frustrating. and it has driven me to order something online, which i had just gone to the store to buy in person. yeah yeah. >> it's odd. i don't see this kind of stuff happening in other countries where we just people just randomly go into stores, walgreens, cvs and just take stuff and leave. it's like it's just such a foreign concept, not in other first world countries, that's for sure. well yeah. yeah. all right. yesterday we told you about doggy perfume and now it's back to scents for humans. mall mainstay auntie anne's is launching a pretzel scented perfume called knead it. apparently smells like buttery dough, salt and a hint of sweetness. a bottle of the nostalgic scent goes for $25, and it's on sale next week.

spencer, do you need some? >> need a good one? >> yeah, i need someone to tell me. oh, you smell like buttery dough and salt. >> really? that really makes sense. >> i mean, you know, in our family, we love auntie anne's, but i'm not splashing that stuff on me so i can smell like pretzel. no thank you. >> we're all about the wetzel's. >> yeah. >> oh, the wetzel's are good. >> oh, like wetzel's pretzels. >> yeah. >> oh, wow. the little bites. yeah. we love them. >> who here remembers the steely dan song pretzel logic? i see i'm the only one here. >> okay. was it 1903? >> yeah, yeah. >> and didn't jerry lee lewis do that. >> wow. >> one point for all anyhow. jeez, it's a rough room. >> yeah, it's a tough crowd. >> okay. you guys, 711 is not going to let starbucks get ahead of them. >> they kicked off pumpkin spice season using the line. if you're not first, you're last. if it's still too hot for you, they've got a pumpkin spice slurpee. but the closest store selling it is in la. locally, you can get the

classic psl along with a pumpkin spice coffee and a pumpkin cream cold brew. i think the pumpkin cream cold brew sounds good, not the slurpee, though. ama. >> no, no, i mean, i love pumpkin. i love a slurpee, even though i probably haven't had one in decades, but i don't think i'd want it together. i mean, i would take a sip just to try it, but i just don't think it's kind of like the cola slurpee. no, no no no no no no, you need like the cherry. like the wild cherry. yeah. >> and the cola slurpee is not horrible, though, right? yeah, but, pumpkin, i want to you know, like, i don't know, with a little whipped cream. nice and warm. yeah, yeah. >> we should point out that the line, if you're not first, you're last is a ricky bobby talladega nights. >> oh it is. oh, yes. yes. >> so, spencer, if you're not first, you're last on this panel for sure. >> don't want to be last. yeah. >> wait. who's last today? >> i think you are, because we all stop talking. >> all right, that's it for this

street is more like a luxury hotel than a dorm. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley got a sneak peek at the first donor funded housing built at cal in almost 80 years. >> the tall, sleek black tower

on oxford street is ready to welcome residents only transfer students who won a lottery for a coveted spot in this swanky new structure across from cal's main entrance, 772 students moving in in two weeks on august 21st. on this preview tour, luxury is evident at every turn in the dorm rooms. sleek kitchens with expansive views of the golden gate and beyond, a light filled courtyard with soaring walls of greenery, a terrace with comfy couches looking out on the campanile and campus. who wouldn't want to study here? there are also lockers in the building for cal's very first commuter student lounge, a dedicated space for students to study after they commute to campus by bus or bart. it's called anchor house, an anchor for incoming transfer students. >> this entire building is a gift from a very generous donor who was inspired to provide housing for transfer students.

transfer students overwhelmingly come to berkeley from california community colleges. more than 95% of them. they're older, usually in their 20s, and they are looking for a place to connect and find community. here at berkeley, they also come predominantly from lower income backgrounds. >> the removal of a rent controlled apartment building on this site stirred controversy over housing affordability, but this new residence hall is addressing the local housing crisis. >> we are in alignment with the city of berkeley. the campus needs to build more student housing on our campus owned property, and this is university property where we built this building. and by building this building, that means that 800, nearly 800 students will no longer be competing for housing and the private market in berkeley, making berkeley housing the private market more available and hopefully more affordable. >> because there is no debt attached to this donor paid for structure, there is expected to be $8 million in revenue that's earmarked for 400 student scholarships every year in berkeley. i'm leslie brinkley abc seven news. >> looks beautiful. yeah.

>> and as you know housing is so hard to come by. right. and for transfer students, i mean, you want to take away that worry of looking for housing? i mean, this is a huge help. absolutely. and you're right, i wish i could have lived in that when i was a student. >> i almost want to apply to go back to college. >> take me back. >> but, spencer, we don't want to leave you alone. >> no, i appreciate that. now. i feel cared for. yeah let's take a look at what's going on with our weather. as you know, it has been hot inland all day, and we still have a heat advisory in effect for the santa clara valley until 10:00 tonight. and that's not even the only hot spot around the bay area right now. we have numerous locations in the inland east bay and far north that exceeded 100 degrees today. but tonight things will cool down a bit. we'll have partly cloudy skies overnight temperatures, low temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 50s. a few inland areas that were very hot today will drop only into the 60s overnight, and tomorrow it will be another very warm day inland. maybe not so many triple digit readings, but lots of upper 90s in places like livermore, antioch and concord around the bay shoreline.

tomorrow, look for highs in the upper 70s to about 80 in some spots. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll see temperatures taper off into the mid 90s as highs on thursday, friday and saturday in our inland communities. mid 70s around the bay shoreline. by sunday, actual cooling will have begun and then going into early next week it will be breezy and much cooler with inland highs only in the mid 80s. larry. >> all right, we'll look forward to that cooldown when it gets here. an annual event aimed at creating safer, more connected neighborhoods is happening tonight. national night out, hosted by police departments nationwide. as a family friendly way to build partnerships with the communities that the police serve and protect. now this is video from a previous event in san francisco. national night out is celebrated in 38 million neighborhoods all across america. >> just ahead, a taste of mexico in marin county. >> yeah. we'll take you to taco janes. ♪ jardiance! -it's a little pill with a ♪ ♪ big story to tell. ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance ♪

at nine by judge steve harvey. then a 10:00 is what would you do? and then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. all right. if you're trying to squeeze in a quick vacation before the kids go back to school, head to marin county. every day is a holiday at taco janes in san anselmo. at least they'd like to think so. >> there's nothing like taco janes. you walk in here, you see the colors, the avocados, all the photos from cuba on the wall

that i took. >> the feeling you truly get with those pictures is that you're eating in the living room, perhaps, of somebody in those photos. we wanted everyone to feel welcome and comfortable here. >> the food comes out and it's just this bounty of greatness, and it's one of those menus that has something for everybody, which is super important. it's like going on vacation to a large degree. it's not your typical taqueria. >> growing up in the restaurant business has always been in my blood because my father has had lots of restaurants and bars. if it wasn't for my father, i wouldn't be sitting here today. my dad's definitely my hero. i wanted to name my first restaurant after my mom, jane. i wanted to give back to my mom. that gave me everything. the foundation of the food at taco jane's in the soul and the spirit starts in the yucatan. and the southern states of mexico. like oaxaca, our emphasis is more on

incorporating fresher and local ingredients. >> it's like, you know, the farmers market must have showed up today. >> you know, we're definitely known for our fish tacos. we use snapper and we have other fishes like wild salmon as well. we like snapper. it's a very neutral fish. it's a white fish. it holds up to our marinades and our blackening. our burritos are served wet and we drizzle a chipotle aioli on top with a corn salsa. >> you put this very special aioli over it. and it is. it's irresistible. >> i think when people see the burrito for the first time, they're in awe, not just by what it looks like, but its size. people are always surprised when they eat the whole burrito. but i'm not because i eat the whole burrito, too. one of the things that i think people truly love about taco jane's is our salsa, and it's called black gold salsa. it's a charred, blackened tomato salsa with some raw ingredients. >> you get your little pistol and your chips, and that is gone in five minutes. >> you're not going to get that

salsa anywhere. but at taco jane's, my son wants to buy it by the gallon. sure, people want the recipe, but, they're not going to get it. when people come here, they can clearly see that we've hand-picked the bottles of mezcal and tequila. >> he has a curated mezcal collection. when he pulls the bottle down, he'll know a story behind it. i'll know where it comes from, how it's made, be made differently than the other ones, and he'll pour it. and it makes that that tasting have some sort of sort of depth. >> i want them to have the same experience they would have in oaxaca. when you come, we give you your mezcal and we give you orange with some gusano salt on top with some ciampolini, some grasshoppers on the side. >> but of course, my favorite is a good margarita from taco chains. very refreshing, you know, going on our 27th year, i think taco jane's is better than it's ever been, and it feels really good being part of the community for so many years, seeing so many generations of kids grow up, it's just this
