fight for their freedom or move to california. >> your republican leaders are banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, criminalizing women and doctors. i encourage you in florida to join the fight or join us in california, where we still believe in freedom. j.r.: newsom's governor campaign posted this ad on youtube. the ad is set to run in florida starting tomorrow. he said this ad is to be run because desantis runs on politics that gavin newsom does not favor. he is running for reelection in california, but many are running -- asking why he is running tv ads in florida. shedding some light on the governor's strategy. reporter: this is what he sees

as the self-appointed democrat in action. he is taking on what is left of the trump administration, taking on republicans. he wants to take the fight to them. he says i am going to take them on whether it be on choice, guns, and if joe biden doesn't run, he is there as the leading democrat with a big national following. he gets it by tactics like this. j.r.: his ad is only running on fox stations in florida. abc7news is committed to building a better bay area. we have been focusing on the crisis in the tenderloin neighborhood. one of them is drug use. a controversial bills -- bill that would allow counties to set up injection sites.

of public health saying that the city is pursuing a policy that could allow the opening of safe consumption sites once the legal hurdles have been sick -- addressed. this will help connect more people to treatment and services. and would add to an approach to reduce deaths. but jackie berlin has concerns. her son has been on the streets for more than a decade, now addicted to fentanyl. >> i see this as just enabling him to continue and he is like a zombie on the streets. tara: she speaks to her son every week, sometimes searching for him on the streets. >> he says he wants to get well and he see house -- sees how hard it is to the city. tara: she's wanting to see more going into the treatments that already exist. >> opened the clinics honey 47

haven't seen much change in this -- the sky conditions. a few clouds off in the distance. 57 degrees at san francisco right now and we have got relatively uniform jet streams right w. inhi c around there. conditions are clear at the moment. we have got mid to upper 50's at these locations as well. here is the view from our rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero. low clouds and patchy drizzle will develop overnight and continue into the early morning hours. it will be sunnier and milder in the afternoon hours tomorrow. we can expect a warmer pattern beginning in the end of the week. overnight, this is what we expect to see. low fog expanding across the bay and pushing inland.

there will be patches of heavy enough drizzle that it could be light rain in some spots in the bay early tomorrow morning. by noon, we will see that threat of showers or drizzle diminishing. it will be sunny everywhere else until early evening tomorrow. overnight lows mainly in the 50's. in the south bay, up to 80 degrees at san jose. mid to upper 70's and breezy on the coast with highs near the 60's. north bay highs, low to mid 70's. also low to mid 70's on the east bay. inland east bay will vary with highs around the 80 degree mark. here is that fireworks forecast. tomorrow night, we will see low clouds surging on shore. san francisco will likely not have a great view of the fireworks if this holds up.

inland areas, great viewing locations. a steady pattern of mild weather through wednesday and a warming trend begins on thursday. by next weekend, it will feel warm again with low to mid 90's inland and 80's around the bay shoreline. still hoping for clear skies tomorrow for the fireworks, but it is 50-50 right now. j.r.: maybe that just means to go east for fireworks. thank you. san francisco couple gets hit with a $1500 parking fine and the city is not backing down. the city is not backing down. this is a 7 on your side story when big tobacco's products were found out to be killers, they promised smokers safety. they called it a filter. but this filter wasn't safe or useful, just small and made of microplastics that have endangered us all. for far too long, they have polluted the earth. they're literally everywhere. there's no need to search.

>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc 7 news. j.r.: welcome back. parking is always a challenge in san francisco, but for one couple, it turned into a deep dive into san francisco history. they were slapped with a huge fine for parking in their own driveway as they have for nearly four decades. michael finney has their perplexing story. reporter: they have been using their car park for decades, when suddenly the city said that is illegal. there was threatened with a $1500 fine, huge fee even by san francisco standards. the only way out, going back into san francisco history. parking in san francisco -- >> is insane.

there are too many sparked -- cars. i got hit with $2000 of parking tickets. michael: for judy and ed, it seems especially hard. they live on the steep hill where parking can be a gravity defying challenge. they could slip into their driveway and park on their car pad, which they have been doing every day for the past 36 years. but not anymore. >> we got this email that we cannot park on the parking pad anymore. michael: the couple got this ticket for parking in their own driveway. >> it was surprising to say the least. michael: and with anna norma's fine, -- an enormous fine if they didn't get their car off their car pad. but it was no mistake.

and no ordinary parking ticket. it came from the city planning department, telling them it is illegal to park in the front yard of a house. >> and if we were found parking there again, it would be a $1500 fine. michael: they quickly pulled the car out, but it didn't make any sense. >> where you taking away something that has great utility to us and our neighbors? michael: ed and judy have been parking there for four decades, and this space was used for parking since the house was built in 1910. >> suddenly being told you cannot use something that was used for years, it is startling. michael: prove that the historic parking was part of the lot, and they might be grandfathered in. >> if it showed a car or a buggy

in the carport. michael: they dug up this photo of their daughter for -- 40 years ago. officials said, not old enough. >> i did a number of searches to try to find historic resources. michael: they went through a number of historic photos. plenty showed the early days when there were few streets or homes. >> there were empty fields all around. michael: to find a photo of a car or horse in their particular driveway before the eye -- the days of iphone cameras, impossible. then, bingo. this aerial photo from 1938 shows their exact home. >> this is our house. michael: ed is sure he can see a car, or horse and buggy, pulling into the driveway. >> this black blob looks like it is pulling into our house. michael: ed says it must be a

car like all of these other blobs you can see along the route. >> i don't know what else they would be. it is compelling that that was a car pulling out of the parking pad. michael: the proof they needed. right? wrong. >> they said they were too fuzzy. michael: the planning department said this was not clear evidence. they tell us the couple was violating a policy, though it is ok to park in front of a garage like this. this was enforced decades ago to ensure that residential areas do not turn into parking lots. two neighbors also got tagged for the same violation. in an email, they wrote that the planning code is not allow for

the city to grandfather illegal uses on account of their having flown below the radar for a length of time. >> so there carport sits empty as they struggle to park. >> this feels really unfair and like we are being punished. michael: the city canceled the fine after the couple got the car off the lot, and the couple would have to build a garage if it wants to park there, or if you can find another old photo. i want to hear from you. share your story and we will share them with everyone else like we did this one. i am michael finney, 7 on your side. j.r.: still ahead on abc 7 news at 11:00, look closely at what is inside this garage. the massive fireworks bus that went down near the border. spencer: hoping for favorable skype conditions for the fourth
