>> reporter: he says they hope to have the 20 tuff sheds ready to move in by next week. they would accommodate 40 people, two to a shed. it's called a low barrier shelter. drug and alcohol use won't necessarily be prohibited. >> i feel like it's a joke. >> reporter: but some aren't so sure this is the answer. janae scarborough told us her father and his dogs live in a tent just down the street. >> they're doing better in a tent with furniture and stuff like that. these sheds, this is something you put dogs in. >> anything that we try is new will have risks, but i think the greater risk is to do nothing. >> reporter: once the tuff sheds are completely occupied, city officials say they will begin to dismantle the tent camps around them. in oakland, laura anthony, abc 7 news. new at 6:00, two people are recovering from injuries after a crash on highway 4 in brentwood. the east contra costa fire

lyanne melendez is live from the hall of justice with the latest on their progress. >> reporter: that's right, dan, five days. i would say that's a little more than 22 hours of deliberations. now, this morning we thought that there could be a verdict, but that was not the case. now the members of the jury have one more day of deliberations before they break for the weekend. remember, no court on fridays. now, once the verdict is read, all of the jurors are then polled in order to confirm the verdict. today there was no sign of the defendant's legal team, only the prosecutor entered the courtroom once or twice. that may mean that the jury is done asking questions of the attorneys and they are now really deliberating and going over the statements made by the witnesses and deciding if jose zarate should be found guilty of second-degree murder and that's what he's been charged with. but remember they have been instructed to also consider first-degree murder or

involuntary manslaughter. he may also be acquitted, but that doesn't mean he walks out of here a free man. >> i would imagine that there is a federal hold on the defendant already so that if he is acquitted, he will be taken into federal custody. >> reporter: and once the verdict is read, the steinle family will have a prerecorded statement. as soon as we have it, it on ab website. now, a spokesperson for the family also told me that the steinle family will not respond to any tweeting or statements made by president trump. i'm live from the hall of justice, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. we'll be the first to know when the verdict is in by downloading our free abc 7 news app and enabling the push alerts. we'll also bring you the verdict live on abc 7 and online at

taxes and permits for cannabis sales. this ensures the government will not delay manufacturing, cultivation and sales. councilmember at large rebecca kaplan says pot sales will help improve the city overall. >> the council has already cast a resolution setting aside 20% for the homeless and the council will vote how to spend the rest of the money. >> recreational marijuana sales become legal starting january 1st. caltrans is shutting down part of the manzanita park and ride lot for one week because it expects the lot to flood. high tides are expected this week. this is video from january. now, abc 7 news weather anchor spencer christian is here to talk about our active weather currents. >> we have some interesting weather-related conditions. here's a look at live doppler 7. clear skies becoming a bit

chilly. let's take a look at our beach hazard which is in effect until 9:00 tonight. wave heights are elevated significantly, up to 16 feet along some of the bay area's beaches. strong rip currents and sneaker waves are a possibility along with rough surf. just to our north wave heights are up to 20 feet or higher along the mendocino coastline. what's generating these large swells is this big storm up in the gulf of alaska that's been brewing for a couple of days now and creating rough surf. it probably won't have any effect on our actual weather conditions as the weekend approaches. meanwhile, overnight look for a big chill. this morning we had low temperatures dropping down to freezing at napa. overnight this coming night we expect lows to drop into the mid-30s in napa and santa rosa. upper 30s in the inland and east bay. also in the south bay around morgan hill right near the bay and the coastline, lows only in the low 40s so a bit chilly but

not as cold as those inland valleys. i'll give you a look at the seven-day forecast in just a few minutes. apple has released a fix for the password flaw on its operating system. the flaw allowed anyone to log on to any mac by signing in as an other user and typing the word "root" for a user name and leaving the password blank. that simple move allowed the rogue user to access everything in your computer. they could install malicious software or lock you out completely. apple unveiled high sierra in september. the security update will be automatically installed. still to come, a gas explosion blew out windows of a san francisco home monday and k did more than just damage. we'll talk devastation to the family who lived here and is now homeless. plus -- >> how do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly? >> that is just one question of

temporary repairs cover up the damage done to a san francisco apartment, a space that can no longer be called home. a gas leak triggered an explosion inside this apartment on monday morning. no one was hurt, but a family is now homeless as a result. wayne freedman shows you what they're going through and who's helping them get through it. >> reporter: broken glass, a boarded-up apartment. there are bits and pieces of

aftermath. >> when they come back, i saw everything. >> reporter: back to this apartment you last saw on monday after an explosion tore through the garage and up through the building. the cause of this explosion, a gas leak. ostensibly from a pg&e gas line. what caused that to happen? the utility said today it's still under investigation. meantime carmen, her husband carlos and her son went to the red cross today asking for help now that they're essentially homeless. >> i never think what happened inside but my house was very bad. everything is down. >> reporter: and everything did except for a religious picture that still hung in her window. back at the red cross, caseworker paul hamilton says he's no longer surprised by anything he sees or hears. >> what we find in my years here is that the people who keep working at it, working, working, working, always succeed. >> reporter: but not without help. with that in mind, friends and

family have put up a go fund me page. pg&e says it is aiding victims as well. meantime, the red cross has given the family some walking around money and placed them in a motel at least through monday. >> i feel better now. >> reporter: in that posttraumatic dimension called aftermath, those would be baby steps. in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. a proposed ballot initiative could make it easier for older california homeowners to buy and sell their homes. under the proposal, homeowners who are disabled or over 55 would be able to transfer their existing low tax assessments to a new home. right now only a handful of counties in california offer that benefit but the proposal aims to expand that statewide. >> what we need is for people that are living in homes larger than they need to make that voluntary decision to move out to a smaller home and open up those larger homes to younger families who have kids.

>> the proposal is backed by the california association of realtors. analysts argue the measure will cost the state millions in lost revenue. the rv industry continues to be on the rise and could reach a milestone this year. the recreation vehicle industry association believes shipments to dealers will top $500,000 this year, which would be an all-time record. this graph shows how sales have been on a continued increase the past several years, reaching 430,000 last year. back in 2009 after a drop due to the recession, sales only totaled about 165,000. a republican state lawmaker is hoping to take his fight against california's controversial gas tax to the state's highest court. travis allen from huntington beach wants the california supreme court to write the ballot language. allen says a version from state attorney general reads a repeal of revenue for transportation projects, not repeal of the tax.

allen says that's a bait and switch. >> if the attorney general can lie to the california people about what's on their ballot initiatives, where's the honesty there? this is direct democracy in california and it's being abused by a politician. >> the tax is expected to raise more than $52 billion for road improvements and transportation initiatives over the next decade. if you're planning to fly home for the holidays through american airlines, you may want a backup plan. too many pilots have time off during the holiday travel rush. a glitch with the vacation system left thousands of flights without pilots. airline officials say they expect to avoid any cancellations. they're offering pilots overtime pay to fill in and resolve this problem. italian airline may be bankrupt but won't sacrifice style. one of the fashion houses has just been commissioned to redesign the airline's uniforms.

this is the website. their current uniforms were designed last year but before that they hadn't changed in two decades. the new uniforms should be ready for the summer. the designer is not costing the airline anything. so not charging the airline at all. >> i assume the uniforms will not look quite like the high fashion we saw on the website. >> no. but maybe it would appeal to flight attendants. let's talk about the weather forecast. just gorgeous outside. >> chilly mornings, but sunny and mild afternoons. that has been the pattern all week long and will continue through friday. things will change a little bit over the weekend but no changes tonight, though. we have clear skies, a few thin, high clouds may pass through, but otherwise it's going to be bright and clear. of course it's going to be chilly once again. this is the view from sutro tower looking out over the bay. it is currently getting a little chilly in some spots. most of these locations are in the mid to upper 50s.

san francisco, oakland, mountain view, san jose, gilroy and half moon bay. not a range of temperatures, about a four-degree variation. i'll show you some chillier spots as we look out towards san francisco from emeryville. santa rosa 52, not so bad but napa is down to 48 as is novato. 45 in fairfield and we have low to mid-50s at concord and livermore. one more live view looking back at part of embarcadero center and the financial district of san francisco from our rooftop camera, these are our forecast features. clear overnight, very chilly. you might even say cold. sunny and mild the next two days. a little cooler over the weekend as clouds begin to increase just a bit. specifically tonight lows will drop down to 34 at napa, 35 at santa rosa. over in the inland east bay, 39 is the low. in morgan hill a low of 39. around the bay mainly low 40s. closer to the coastline we'll see mid-40s. looking ahead to our 12-hour

planner for tomorrow, we'll start the day at 7:00 morning with clear skies and upper 30s. by noon we'll see low 60s under sunny skies at the bay. by 4:00 p.m. upper 60s but once the sun sets, clear skies tomorrow evening and temperatures will drop rather sharply once again. that's the way it's been the last couple of days. look at 64 in san rafael, 65 santa rosa, 65 at concord, 65 at fremont, 68 at san jose. it looks like that will be our warm spot. chances of rain over the next seven days, zero. we'll have dry conditions even as the clouds move in over the weekend. now, our rain outlook for the week ahead is issued by the climate prediction center. it shows dry conditions over basically the western half of the nation, but as we travel eastward, the easternmost slice of the country and near the atlantic coast and inland just a bit will be rainy and stormy. so lots of precipitation there.

nothing coming our way. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. look at that weekend change there. a few extra clouds come in on a crisp, fall day on saturday. temperatures will drop off about 4 degrees or so from friday, but no rain is likely. monday it will start getting sunny and bright all over again and next week will be much like this week, sunny days and mild afternoons. >> you are spoiling us. >> i am indeed. >> thank you. well, what's old is new and what was lost is found. >> next, the new story from a legendary author. hi, i'm michael finney. it's my job to answer questions, but if you ask me how to end hunger, there's no easy answer. but i do know a great way to help. text feed to 80077 and y

as you can imagine, his phone is ringing off the hook for tickets. >> yeah, i had to put my phone away for a little while the last couple days. i'm trying to focus. it's a great opportunity for us this week. chicago is a very talented defense, so we need to prepare throughout the week very well and get ready for those guys because it's going to be a challenge. >> obviously disappointed but, you know, i want this team to be good and i trust kyle's decision, like i said before. right now i'm focused on getting healthy and helping this team out, helping jimmy in any way that i can right now. >> coach shanahan says it's going to be week to week who starts at quarterback, but this week against chicago it's going to be jimmy garoppolo. in santa clara, mike shumann, abc 7 news. the raiders host the giants on sunday. the giants are a complete mess. they just decided to bench two-time super bowl champion eli manning. manning had made 210 consecutive starts. just to give you some perspective on that. during that time, 188 other

quarterbacks started for all the other teams in the league. the giants have made eli the scapegoat for a 2-9 season and the rest of the league has taken notice. >> i know the family real well. it's got to be a tough deal. he's one of the -- he's one of the all-time greats, two-time super bowl winner. very accomplished player. so i have a soft spot for that. >> he's a great person. i was able to learn from him a couple of years ago at the pro bowl. we were on the same team. i was very fortunate and blessed to be on that team with him and just learn from him, ask questions and all those things. >> safe to say nobody saw this coming. espn's herm edwards is expected to be named the new football coach at arizona state. the 63-year-old edwards has previously coached the jets and the chiefs. i'm sure you remember his "you play to win the game" speech. the warriors play the lakers tonight in l.a. this will be the first meeting

between steph curry and the rookie, lonzo ball. you may remember launonzo's dad mentioning steph during a ucla/usc broadcast. >> i'm going to tell you right now. he's better than steph curry. put steph curry on ucla and put my boy on the warriors and see what happens. >> oh, brother. we try to keep this a lavar-free zone but curry might score 100 tonight if he listens to that before the game. lonzo really struggling. he can't shoot. he's got an awkward style. steph is kind of sympathetic. >> i know he's a great talent. i think he loves to play basketball so he'll have to fight through all that and have a great career. but i hope he didn't judge me off my first 20 games in the league either. >> lonzo is just playing like a rookie as far as learning the game, finding the ins and outs of the game, it's slowing down for him and picking and choosing his spots.

he's still figuring it out. that's what -- is he 19? that's what any 19-year-old would go through in the pros. >> for sure. abc 7 sports brought to you by river rock casino. steph and k.d. good to go after nursing injuries the past few days. >> oh, good. we see what happens when they're not all there. thanks, larry. >> join us at 9:00 on cable channel 13. tonight why larry ellison's bid to snap up this classic tahoe resort could end up going know where. >> and then at 11:00, governor brown is in the bay area tonight talking climate change. what he says each one of us can do to help confront the problem. those stories and a lot more later tonight but that's this edition of abc 7 news. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm kristen sze. for the entire abc 7 news team, good night.
