the entire west coast by the early 2020s. >> if you receive the alert, that is just that many more seconds for you to protect yourself before the shaking happens. >> reporter: we asked people what they would do with the four second warning. >> probably would -- if i was at work, crouch under my desk. >> remember drop, cover and hold on. should you have heard some of the responses that i got today. for example, i have no idea what i would do. i would run. another person said to me, well, i would probably call my family to see how they were doing. i think people really need a refresher course. >> we were just talking about that. would even know, do you dive under your desk? i'm looking above me to see what would fall. >> i think you know what you should do, but when i reality hits, it will be like --now, what will it take to get the

system sghog. >> it will take more testing and also the shown there for example the state has already invested $25 million since 2016 and the governor has said that this year he will add another $16 million to the pot. so it will happen. >> all right. lianee an an mad, thanks. and the warriors have suspended jordan bell for one game. that announcement came today for conduct detrimental toward the team. although steve kerr was asked about it and he really condition -- he did not elaborate. and a parking problem in one bay area city. >> there is not enough parking and these property owners are making the situation worse. >> the lengths neighbors have gone to in order to save their parking spots. and the ongoing saga overe

and ga r and there is intense competition for street parking. instead of welcome mats, a sizable number of residents have put up signs that draw a line. who put up the no parking sign? >> my landlord. >> does it work. >> yeah. >> reporter: so far neighbors seem to be complying with the signs. while there are no curbs or sidewalks in this part of tone, the shoulder is public parking. >> there is not enough parking and the property owners are making it worse by not allowing other residents and guests and relatives alike to be able to park here. >> reporter: two neighbors took me for a walk to show me all the signs. some even put our orange cones. they along with their neighborhood assoction w ld m cones removed. the city confirmed this is a flyer drafted but not sent out.

it explains that the road way shoulder is public not private property and urges riz s residt to post signs or cones. and city staff is evaluating this issue further and still working on determining next steps. in the meantime, critics say the signs are proliferating. >> we had a new couple move in just before christmas and within a week they had their own cones. they see other people doing it. >> reporter: and we reached out to police to see you how soon they could resolve the issue and we did not hear back. >> david, thank you. if you live here, you likely know all about the flintstone house. it has been an iconic home for years.ng the

homeowner over changes she made to the home. there is a new revelation just today. >> there is a headline in the news that the town of hillsborough is admitting that no neighbor ever complained. >> so this is a city council initiated act, the lawsuit to try to get the yard cleared or modified? >> yes. in my opinion, they don't like the dinosaurs. they had them put trees up and then they weren't big enough. she has done everything they have asked her to do and this is her happy place. it is her garden. you can't even see it from the street. so quite frankly, she has a first amendment right to have whatever she wants to have in her garden. >> so what is the city claiming here? because i know one of the pieces of language that was used were that there were life safety hazards. >> in her garden. in other words, first of all, there are no life sa

hazardous. it is her garden. so like it is like having your government come in your backyard he which again can barely be seen even from the house because it is tiered. you see it well from 280, but because it is tiered, you have to go down and see it. and it is her garden. if it was a deck on a house or if it was a safety issue whiches is not, fine. but that is not the situation here. what they really didn't like are the dinosaurs, the mushrooms, and fred flint stone standing in front of the house. they can't stand it. >> who didn't love fred. >> who didn't love dino. >> and you have a counter lawsuit. >> we will counter sue them for various causes at the least of which is the first amendment. she has a right of speech. also we will counter sue with good faith and fair dealing in

contracting because they have not departmealt with good good g and malice and fraud. >> and we were talking during the break, i'm not an attorney, you'res attorney, this seems like a case that could be settled out of court reasonably. but you say what? >> i say that there is a public policy statement to be made here. people need to be able to enjoy their homes. and i think that if mrs. fang goes to forward with it more people will be able to not be harassed and disturbed on their private roproperty because it wl make a major statement. in a lot of lawsuits, a lot settle and nobody ever hears about the outcome and can't use that outcome to help them in their trials an contribute btrib so yes, it could be settled. i can't guarantee whether it

settles or go to trial, but i am a trial attorney and i do enjoy trials. >> trial attorneys like to go to trilg. like surgeons like to do surgery. you mentioned all of the other cases that you usually are involved with. would it be safe to say this is one of the stranger cases that you've taken on? >> it is, but i grew up with the flint stones. i entered the contest to name pebbles. it is a different case for me. 80% of my cases are employment discrimination, civil rights. people get fired because they are sick or because they are gay or because they are women. and that is what 85% of my cases are. so it is very different. but i have to tell you, i love it. and i especially love how much mrs. fang loves her home and her garden. >> are tll right. we'll see how it turns out. and now back to our weather. the rain let up in the morning for a little bit to provide a

how has it evolved? you brought the program from the very first one. and many successful years. so talk about how it has grown over the years. >> at the beginning as i said we started out of the small group. and we decided that we had a vision and we actually wrote down our goals. we wanted to be for women who were already working. who had college degrees for most of the jobs that needed that already. and we wanted to be especially for women between about 35 and 55. we built a bell curve and we said how many we wanted to come. and we invited in the top name we could find at the time who had just published a book about when giants learn to dance. and she was head of the harvard business school publication. and so it gave us gravitas.

and we met our goals and so we decided that it would put us out of business, by 2000. but that wasn't to be. >> no, we're still going. and is this a nonprofit? >> yes, it was started by jackie speer and a group of us who volunteered all of our time. and it has always been very important to us to continue to be a nonprofanprofit and made u other women trying to find their way, manage the changes, balance their careers. and hopefully reach beyond what was just said on the air about the difference that we have now with the pay equity of men and women. >> absolutely. and usually usually there helping out because abc 7 is a big supporter. and so many people attend and get so much out of it. that i think that they would all like to thank you and all the
