shovels in the ground tomorrow. all this means is they've cleared yet another hurdle towards getting this project done today could have made this thing go away. it could have been the end, but they passed so now they get to move on. that's what this means. so how many more steps are there from the hideout from this vote a thumbs up to actual shovels in the ground? yeah, one of the bcdc commissioners joya actually made a really good point. he said that certifying the eir was kind of like getting to first base. getting past this vote is second base getting a vote on the community benefits agreement development agreement from the oakland city council would be third base and then it'll circle all the way back to the bcdc again these same people will vote on a final permit and approval of the project. that would be like getting to home and then you can get out those shovels larry. what's the timeline here because obviously the azer on the clock

they want to get this done while libby schaaf is still the mayor because she's going to be termed out here if they get to november and they really don't have a vote to go forward it gets a little dicey you start to get into election season and politicians who may or may not support this project. yeah, i'd seen november 8th is really a key deadline because that is the actual election in oakland. and as you said the mayor is termed out that will also bring a whole bunch of un. you with the city council what i'm hearing is around september is when they want to have the development agreement community benefits agreement terms done. that way they can look them all over make sure they all pencil out and then take a vote before the end of the year. that is critical. they have to get something done before the end of 2022. okay any final thoughts on this because you sort of new going in that the bcdc was was leaning in favor of the project. there was a lot of public comment. which you somehow managed to listen to in this entirety, so a

metal should go to you for that. but but beyond that the a's have to be feeling positive about this and i imagine the unions who really want this project to go forward feel similarly. yeah, you brought up a very good point with the unions. what happened today is the labor unions really showed up. they showed up in person to that bcdc headquarters as did the fans. they really made their clear now. remember if these unions want this done. they have a lot of influence over the people making those votes in a monetary fashion. they have a lot of influence because these unions represent a ton of jobs if the a's leave there goes a lot of jobs if they stay here comes billions of dollars in construction revenue that just building the thing alone will raise a ton of money and produce a lot of jobs. so that is key. all right, so basically follow the money kc. i know you'll have more reports coming up later. on this afternoon and abc 7 news at five and six we will see you then.

not today, it's not going to be future those against releasing howard terminals say the report is flawed because so much of it is based on speculation as you say a forecast is just that it pacific merchant shipping association, they represent port tenants and ocean carriers. he says the pandemic exposed the problems at the port and the port needs more land essentially says they don't care that they're running out of of land. they don't care that they're limiting opportunities for growth. now vice chair eisen raised concerns about the report but in the end she did vote. yes that's important to point out that this vote is not a vote on the merits of a new park just if the port of oakland can handle future cargo needs of yes

on out there. the sea breeze is ramped up. once again, it's 37 in san francisco was up to one last hour just like it was yesterday. so watch out. it's good to be a tough. go on our north south bridges. you're gonna have a little bit of a tugging at the wheel there whether it's the golden gate bridge or the carquinas bridge or the benicia bridge and it ushered in even cooler weather than yesterday. so the cooling trend continued today. look at these temperatures, i mean 50s and half moon bay in san francisco and with that wind. yeah, you might want to dress in some layers because it will cut through some of our lighter jackets. it's still 61 in oakland and san mateo 66 in danville is that comes up crow canyon there and deposits that cooler weather for you and san ramon in 77 right now in santa rosa. so we've got this bowl. cooler air that's bringing down weak disturbances, and they're reinforcing the faster winds and also the cooler conditions. in fact, you can see the winds out of the golden gate right now at about 10 to 21 miles per hour. the clouds are breaking up just a little bit but this is temporary because they will

surge east again as we head into the evening hours and look at these temperatures that are barely holding on to 60 inland by nine all of us in the mid-dupper 50s by 10 o'clock and looking ahead to some patchy mist and drizzle tonight through tomorrow. morning commute. so that's going to be the first thing of what to expect breezy the gusty and cool afternoons. clouds returning monday evening as we talked about look at this moisture. the latest drought data just came out. we're the same but look at this. the four corners states are improving because of that wet weather. the only thing we have to look for is that mist and drizzle in the morning. so let's watch the cloud cover roll in cover all neighborhoods again by tomorrow morning. look at this surge. the way up to the foothills, i think tomorrow just a little bit quicker. we'll see some sunshine, but it won't matter because it's cooler and slightly drier that's coming in and it's not going to have much of an effect on our temperatures. in fact, we'll start mainly in the 50s again tomorrow and we'll end up 58 at half moon bay to 60s whether it's 60 in san francisco, richmond 68 oakland

66 san mateo 67 and then seventies for the rest of the bay. we'll hold on to just a few 80s loud around morgan hill as you head out towards antioch, fairfield, santa rosa. short and ukiah this trend will continue another chunk of energy faster breezes even cooler weather are too coolest days are saturday and sunday. we'll try to rebound a little bit monday, but even monday tuesday and wednesday as we're slightly warmer, we're still just a little bit below average some summer warmth back to average. we'll hit us by thursday. i'm 79 your side. it's michael finney coming up next mortgage decline plus important news for nissan pickup truck owners. hang around.

four and we have sandia joining us along with mike. so, you know today is is world social media day. was introduced in 2010 to highlight the influence of social media and its role in worldwide communication today. the united nations is asking people to pledge to pause and verify content before you share it online because sharing this information as we know is very harmful. all right. well, how are we celebrating or should we be celebrating? what are our thoughts on this big day sandia? yeah, you know kristen i think social media has a very powerful ability to get information out. i mean certainly i embraced it when it was first introduced and it has been very helpful in gathering information, but it also can be a place where like we all know false information is put out there and people

actually believe it so i think that we do have to take a step back and we do have to kind of pause as you just mentioned to make sure that we are double checking our facts and people who are posting are posting accurate information. yeah, i do like on twitter now they say do you want to be the article before you read tweet it right? oh, yeah, right. i think the bigger concern actually is in just blatant disinformation and people that have you know, they're looking for outcomes to create. chaos knowing full. well, it's not like an accident. oh, i got this article and i'm going to retweet it. this is a system-wide attempt to create chaos that the platforms don't do enough to try to suppress you would hope it would enhance i will say our images media and journalists that the people would come to us more often on social media knowing that we have checked in fact checked and double checked and

three checking for you know, all of our sources and before we posted anything you would hope that becomes a trend. yeah. i'm not sure people are paying attention exactly. just see yeah what they saw on facebook and then go visitor speaking of going berserk. this is just a huge story in the world of sports today mercury news reporter john wilner who covers athletics like nobody else around here a huge scoop today usc and ucla are leaving the pac-12 to join the big ten. yes the conference that's in the middle of the midwest for the most part. it's unclear if this would be in all sports could happen as early as 2024. it has to be approved at the highest level of power at the tools and in the big ten but all signs point to this happening and i simply do not know how the pac-12 continues to exist. i don't know. i mean where we're really headed is to the formation of two gigantic mega conferences with all the biggest of the best

teams from the sec and the big ten and so you can understand why usc would want to be a part of this. i'm not sure what it does or where it leaves stanford and cal all of this is driven by television money because big 10 tv contract is like twice the size of the pac-12 right contract and so everybody's chasing dollars and i mean any notion of amateur athletics is completely out the window at this point. this is all about professional stuff and kristen you went to call i'm sure you went to a bunch of games and things like all of a sudden what you see la is in the big tent like what does that road trip gonna look like ever tried to get to madison wisconsin from the west coast? what does that mean? how wouldn't play usc and la and our basketball games are football games and our regular schedule not in the regular schedule. who knows we don't even know what it means you forward to those rivalries. i think that's a real disappointment. it's it's awful. it's and the pac-12 has been around for over a hundred years. it's a pact. well get it you're on the

pacific ucla and usc see pack. what do you let me ask you larry? what do you think about maybe the big 12 in the pac-12 merging or the big 12 pack 12 and acc. i mean, they're the three that are left out right now. where what are they going to do? yeah, i mean they may have to join ranks. the problem is this because it's all driven by television revenue, you know adding kansas state doesn't do much for your demographics. it doesn't add large, you know numbers of humans to your viewing audience. that's the dilemma there, but they may have no other choice. otherwise, i mean, i don't know. what are they going to play laney college? i don't know. i don't know what they're gonna do. i mean, i can't only hate on stanford. come on. stay using ucla day. all right some british. politicians say they now know how women feel during menopause they put on special vests to simulate a hot flash. fellow member of parliament carolyn harris said it's easy to underestimate the intensity of hot flashes and the impact they have on daily life the men who put on the vest called hot flashes deeply unpleasant.

now, how about we simulate pregnancy? oh, let's do that. i thought you're gonna say child birth. yeah. i just passed the kidney stone a couple weeks ago. does that count? sandia i mean i don't want to say sometimes women go if men had to do those things those big babies. sorry guys, nothing personal but don't i mean i think that's a good idea right empathy. yeah. absolutely kristen. i mean look, there's no question about it women have to go through not only having children -- cycles hot flashes. i mean, there's a lot and i think that it would really make men understand where women are coming from. so i think it's all good, right? there'll be more massages when those things are happening right more honey. you're right. you're so right. i'm so lucky to have you. hey, larry, we can't win. it's funny. you're right coming into the last conversation. feels like we deviated here a

♪ ♪ pride month here at abc 7 today lgbtq. seniors sharing their coming-out stories. being gay would be a curse. being gay was one of the worst things you could. bring upon your family. my name is jim christart. i'm 75 years old and i came out as gay man in. well actually two years ago.

i am 21 years old. i'm sacramento i started coming out when i was around 14. i never really totally just like came out and told somebody i'm gay. scary no matter who you're telling if even if you know for a fact that they're gonna be supportive. i want to work for chevron in the 1980s. i was 32 years old. but i would have never told anyone there that i was gay because i because i would have been afraid that that i might have lost. job, i had been in a heterosexual marriage for not quite 51 years. and i never came out during that time. i just came out after my wife passed away. about a year into my marriage. i really felt, you know, something is not working with me. my father always drilled into me you make your bed your lie in

it. so i said well. guess i'm in this for the long run. just stifle yourself get back in that closet and stay there so i did. that is a complicated question. what made me wait? so long, i tried over the many years of my marriage trying to explain to my wife that i wasn't happy. and it was nothing she did. although she took good very personally, and so she would never hear. never wanted to hear anything about my being gay it was illegal for. we met in college. we were both going to cal state long beach at the time. she was she was walking through the gym and i was handing out towels in the gym. and that's where i first saw her. and i said man, i got to know her.

we got married. and we were 58 years old. because we could not get married sooner than that. yeah, that was the soonest. i knew i would never like lose my job over being gay which is something i'm really grateful for because i know generations before me didn't have that privilege. i know for my grandma it was it was a lot more difficult coming out her sister. it was also gay and she came out before her and i know that there was a lot of just like tension in the family here. i am 75 years old. and i'm trying to figure out. something my life what my life would have been in my 20s or 30s and it's it's impossible. so i'm doing the best i can meeting people meeting other guys who are gay. who understand me? this is what i need to be.

with people who affirm finally who i am pride means acceptance. for who we are and being able to celebrate that i'm just so grateful to the lgbt generations before me who've paved the way for all of this acceptance that we have, you know, obviously, it's still not perfect now far from perfect, but it sure is way better than it was 50 years ago or even in 10 years ago when was starting to figure out in many parts of our society being gay is more accepted and understood? and i guess i am a little jealous in that way and that i was born much too soon. much too soon. that's it for abc 7 news at 4
