>> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. showers and thunderstorms on live doppler seven tonight. i'll show you where they're going and how long this wet weather is going to last. abc seven news at 6:00 starts right now. >> building a better bay area moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7 news. the next big event for apec is at the legion of honor and that means new street closures, but not for long. >> good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm larry beil. tomorrow is the final day of apec and today we saw some protest that turned violent. a few people were injured as dueling protest groups clashed at third and market streets. critics of the chinese communist party crossed paths with supporters of china. police created a line in the middle of third street to keep the opposing protesters apart. there have been several protests during the apec summit. most have been peaceful overall onto what's been happening inside moscone center at the apec summit this afternoon, president

biden announced an agreement to prevent supply chain disruptions . >> if we had this agreement in place we're talking about today, we would not have had to lay off so many auto workers because lack of semiconductors and many other examples. the agreement involves 13 apec member economies, including japan, south korea, india and singapore. >> it also has provisions to combat corruption and to transition asian these economies toward green energy. for more on apec and a brewing controversy involving elon musk, we go to abc7 news anchor kristen sze at moscone center, where today was the super bowl of apec week, if you will. >> the big day, the culmination, the coming together of world leaders. but like in any big game, there's always a bit of controversy. >> the united states is a pacific power. >> president biden was the star attraction at the moscone center today. he started the day speaking to a huge audience at the ceo summit, then going across the street to meet with the leaders of the 21 apec member economies. the group

smiled for the so-called traditional family photo. the idea was started by president bill clinton 30 years ago as a way to foster trust. but a highly anticipated leader did not show up today. tech leader tesla ceo and owner of the social media platform, elon musk, he was to be on an afternoon panel about artificial intelligence, but us special presidential envoy on climate ambassador john kerry took sk place alongside salesforce ceo marc benioff, the official reason aipac gave for musk no show was scheduling conflict. but it comes amid heavy criticism of musk after he commented on an anti-semitic post. critics say he was showing support for the hateful message. another point of intrigue arising from the summit was last night's simultaneous dueling events between president biden's party at the exploratorium and chinese president xi jinping's dinner at the hyatt regency. it was reportedly attended by state politicians and local politicians and top business leaders, including elon musk and

apple ceo tim cook. chairman mike gallagher of the house select committee sent a letter to the organizers demanding a full list of guests and companies, including those who contributed the reported $40,000 to sit at xi's table. politico analyst and hoover institution fellow lanhee chen explained why the dinner attendance is raising congressional eyebrows. >> i think in the context of the current situation between the us and china, it is noteworthy that companies felt the willingness to continue to engage even though they knew there was some potential political blowback. they had to know that given everything that was going on and if they didn't know that, then they were caught unprepared. >> chairman gallagher, a republican, gave organizers until november 21st to supply the guest list. abc7 news reached out to the us-china business council, one of the organizers and we have not yet heard back. back to you. >> all right, thank you, kristin. an apex final day is tomorrow. today was the final day of the ceo summit. as you

saw, president biden addressed the summit this morning. and tonight he's hosting an apec dinner at the legion of honor. and that means intense security, including road closures and barricades around lincoln park as seen on this map here on abc7 news. reporter suzanne phan is live near the park. >> so, suzanne, what does it look like from your vantage point? >> well, tonight we are at clement and 33rd avenue and right here you can see lots of metal barricades up the hill. you can see lots of flashing lights. now, of course, president biden, the first lady, and a lot of dignitaries are expected here at the legion of honor. we can tell you that a number of cars were towed a little bit earlier and that's because they're expecting a lot of motorcades to be coming this way. another motorcade catches the attention of onlookers, including romsey, baha'i, baha'i, owens, pine and jones market on nob hill. because of all the escorts for dignitaries there are no parking signs on pine street and california street and we're implying it's a tow away zone.

>> they did it for only today because i feel like the president might leave through here the no parking signs are in preparation for the big apec event at the legion of honor. >> for people who live in the outer richmond district, say you've got to take those signs seriously. >> they had a line of tow trucks and they absolutely anyone still parked here after 8 a.m. got towed. we saw at least two from this block here because of the legion of honor event. >> clement street is closed between 33rd and 42nd avenues. liz tells lives in the area. she doesn't mind, but some of her friends do. the va hospital up the street. >> i definitely know a lot of folks that work at the hospital tend to park here on this area, especially because we have so much parking on this block specifically in front of the park. so i think it's hard for them. >> extra barricades are up more uniformed personnel have arrived. law enforcement and secret service officers now have the area around the legion of honor secured. >> i think it's interesting. it's exciting. this isn't an everyday occurrence, but at the same time, it'd be nice to know when things are coming through,

when folks are leaving and to have a little bit more awareness of what's going on. my kids up at washington are really excited to see the motorcade and stuff come by. >> they're all talking about it. they're planning on being out there to watch and again, president biden and the first lady are hosting the special apec dinner tonight here at the legion of honor. >> the president is expected to speak at 745 tonight. we're live here in san francisco, joe suzanne phan, abc seven news. >> all right, suzanne, thank you for that. and last night, the president hosted a big party for apec at the exploratorium. it's right across the street from our abc7 news studio. and as you can see in this live picture, hey, it's all back to normal with no sign of the major security measures that were in place. just 24 hours ago. i mean, they took it down quickly. all right. well, we are getting more rain tonight and the activity really is starting to pick up. >> abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel tracking it live on live doppler seven sandy. >> yeah. and larry and ama right now we are seeing thunderstorms developing right along the san mateo coast. we're checking out

live doppler seven. you will see multiple lightning strikes near pacifica, half moon bay area. they've been seeing that thunderstorm developing. i'm going to track this for you. that cell with multiple strikes moving towards daly city. 643 the sunset district at 656. now the rainfall rates with this system have been intensifying. so if you get caught under one of these downpours, i mean, we're talking about over two inches per hour. light to moderate showers right around antioch deer valley road heading out towards highway four. so we are seeing some wet weather beginning to sweep across the bay area. more thunderstorms not out of the question as you will notice, off the coastline. we've been seeing those. it's a light level one storm that has been just parked off california's coastline for days now. and as we time this out for you, the shower activity continues heading into seven, 8:00 tonight, 11 p.m. it's starting to move northward on our storm impact scale. exclusive to abc seven news. it's a level one

through tonight. showers brief downpours, slippery roadways, breezy, even isolated thunderstorms. so the best likelihood of lightning, this is the san mateo bridge would be along this area. so obviously, be careful if you do have to hit the roads shortly, larry. >> all right, sandhya, thank you . traffic is flowing smoothly right now on the bay bridge following a protest this morning that shut down all westbound lanes for more than four hours. it created a huge backup. this all began around 7:45 a.m. more than 100 people abandoned their cars, many chaining themselves together, others lying on the road, preventing anybody from getting by their goal. send a message to president biden to stop the aid to israel and the loss of civilian life in gaza. >> we have so much empathy and compassion because we know it was a huge inconvenience. but times like these and moments like these call for us to be inconvenienced. you can protest. >> you have your first amendment rights. don't do it here on the bridge. don't impact people's lives in emergency vehicles.

people needing to get to the hospitals, work in schools. you all officers arrested 81 people and towed away more than 15 vehicles. >> take a live look right now at the bay bridge toll plaza west bound traffic. you can see on the right side of your screen, it's backed up, but it's not anything like it was earlier in the day when the protests were going on and the bridge was shut down. and then it opened very, very slowly. now the protest caused a massive, massive backup into the east bay, even affected people who weren't trying to cross the bridge. they had to find alternative means. abc seven news reporter anser hassan joining us live now with some of their stories. answer >> yeah, larry, good evening. chp says the bay bridge we open at around 12 noon and over the past few hours no problems at the toll plaza. no problems on the bay bridge. it wasn't the morning commute. many were expecting. nikema randall was on her way to work in downtown oakland. i'm going to go through

emeryville and then try to get to downtown. you tell your bosses you're going to be late. >> my boss is on the phone right now. i'm like, okay, what's happening in emeryville, police spent hours directing traffic as the on ramp to westbound 80 was closed because of the protest that shut down the bay bridge. >> some commuters tried their luck on city streets but were also stuck. what's this traffic been like for you? >> well, for me, it's been hell. >> lydia navarro spent 2.5 hours in the car. she says she's lucky she didn't have to travel across the bay bridge. >> i'm headed right around the corner, but i come from santa rosa today. i'm 30 minutes late. >> pro-palestinian protesters calling for a cease fire in gaza blocked all westbound traffic on the bay bridge during the morning commute in the backup, not just commuters. ucsf telling abc7 news that three couriers trying to deliver organs for transplants were also stopped. at least one surgery was canceled. >> so we expect there will be more problems in the afternoon

with patients who are trying to arrive now for surgery. >> and then there were those who were just parked in emeryville waiting for the bay bridge to reopen. people are out here honking and trying, turning around and watching and wondering. teresa knight was on her way to san francisco. she exited the freeway because of a mechanical issue with her car. and those few hours she was able to get her car fixed and then just stuck waiting for the bridge to reopen. i would have had to get off anyways. >> nobody's going that way anyways. there's yeah, there's nobody getting through. it's a dead stop. >> we did get an update from ucsf. they say all their trans patients are either in surgery or recovering, so there were no adverse effects because of the bay bridge shutdown. reporting live anser hassan. abc's seven news. >> well, let's glad glad to hear that answer because so many people were impacted today and many of them we hope were using the abc seven news app. we sent this out, an alert just minutes

their pop who demonstrate extraordinary composure and courage on the night of the attack, a year ago and in court this week. thankfully, mr. pelosi continues to make progress in his recovery. >> that is good. all right. whether we need to check on that rain that's coming back. >> yeah, sandyha patel joins us. >> yeah. and ama and larry, let's take a look at live doppler seven right now because it is becoming active along the san mateo coast. we do have thunderstorms that have developed. i'm going to take you in closer to where we are seeing some of the heavier activity. you can see multiple lightning strikes right now right along hickey boulevard, daly city, fleetwood drive. we are seeing some heavy downpours. the rain has spread all the way out towards the millbrae area. burlingame burlingame drive is also seeing some of that. it is moving in the direction of sunset district at 648. if it holds together, the marina district here in san francisco at 702, special marine warning for the offshore waters until

630 as gusty winds are accompanying the thunderstorm. so as we had expected, we are seeing the activity picking up in the inland east bay right around antioch. deer valley road, james dunnellon boulevard, pittsburgh, some light to moderate showers. so we're going to widen the picture here. i'm going to show you what's been bringing us the showers and the thunderstorms. it's basically an area of low pressure off the coastline here that has just been cut off from the main flow. the jet stream is not actually moving that storm along, but that is going to change come saturday. it's a light level one storm. so we're basically going to look at that storm continuing to send us waves of energy through saturday and then things will quiet down. look at this view from our emeryville camera. absolutely stunning of san francisco. the view from our san mateo camera. certainly watch out for lightning if you are driving right now, 63 in san francisco, mountain view, oakland 65. san jose 59 in half moon bay and from our santa cruz camera, a beautiful view right now. temperatures in the low to

mid 60s from santa rosa to napa, 60 fairfield, 64 concord and all decked out the embarcadero from our explorator camera here in san francisco, brief heavy showers and some thunderstorms tonight. periods of wet weather through saturday and we're looking at dry pattern warmer weather next week on our exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale. this is a light level one storm through tonight. those showers with the brief downpours, slippery roadways, certainly breezy and the isolated thunderstorms will include gusty winds. if you do see one of those cells right overhead. so watch out, 7:00 tonight, the activity shifts northward, 930, the north bay is seeing the wet weather. and then as we head towards the overnight hours, it's mostly clouds, maybe an isolated shower or two. but tomorrow afternoon at 430, we start to notice some showers redeveloping as we head into the evening rush, more activity. and then 1030 tomorrow night, seeing some brief downpours as saturday. we have another batch coming in here in the morning and it continues pretty much through the afternoon and into

the evening hours. so your saturday will include wet weather plan accordingly with your rain gear, rain, fall estimates from now, all the way through saturday afternoon, we're looking at anywhere from about a quarter of an inch to an inch and a half for most of you. there will be a few spots that are in the rain shadow that will pick up less. now, the thunderstorm threat remains in the forecast for tomorrow. it is marginal, but it's still there. your morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s cloud cover will be heavy tomorrow afternoon. make sure you have your umbrellas with you because you will need them. temperatures in the mid 60s to the low 70s for your friday. the accuweather seven day forecast. it's a level one system for tomorrow and saturday both days featuring the possibility of thunder sunday is dry. good day to get outside and enjoy after some morning fog and then next week. chilly days but warmer chilly mornings, warmer afternoons and a beautiful holiday. thanksgiving is looking good. ama daetz. great ormond, larry. sorry whoever you are,

just. >> just a guy. >> just a guy who wandered in. >> thank you. yeah yeah. >> all right. this isn't just a guy. this is the golden bachelor . tonight, millions of people are expected to watch as the golden bachelor spends time with the final two contestants in the show's famous fantasy suites. some viewers, though, have criticized the bachelor, gary turner for being a little too free with telling the women that he loves them. but gary is standing by his actions. >> i feel comfortable now looking back on that and in the moment i felt comfortable saying that. but as my journey came to a close, i had complete clarity on who was the right woman for me. >> wow. so who was it? well, we won't know gary's final choice until the end of the month. but watch the golden bachelor tonight at eight right here on abc seven. >> it is official. and the vote was unanimous. is there still any hope, though, to keep the a's in oakland instead of

wasn't a surprise, but it's still stings. >> yeah, and it's interesting because it's not exactly a done deal yet either. las vegas

athletics. it's not really that simple. what happened today was merely a step towards what they want to do and approval in las vegas. but there are still many more questions and answers. and while major league baseball owners voted unanimously and waived the relocation fee, what they didn't do was present any actual information about the financials of the move, show anyone, even a rendering of what this ballpark is supposed to look like, or tell anyone where the a's will play after 2024. the only thing we know for sure is that oakland fans are devastated today is an incredibly difficult day for oakland a's fans. >> it's a great day for las vegas. yeah oakland has a lease. >> the a's have a lease at the coliseum in oakland. so they're going to be there in 2024. and we're exploring a variety of alternate lives, including staying at the coliseum for the remaining years in the interim. >> i've always been very clear that my door is wide open, and

so i'm hopeful that they will come back and have a discussion with us here in the city of oakland in regards to multiple different things. right. what would it look like in regards to the a's branding, staying here in the city of oakland and the possibility of pursuing an expansion opportunity in the future as well? >> yeah. and as you like to point out, larry, john fisher has failed at every turn to get a shovel in the ground. fremont san jose and oakland. so we'll see if las vegas ends up any different. >> it is one of my favorite things to point out actually. so the question now is, i mean, you're going to have fan boycotts who's going to go to an a's game knowing that john fisher wants him out of town? >> yeah, well, if the a's fan groups have any say here, they're already trying to boycott opening day. they want nobody in attendance and they'd probably prefer nobody in attendance for the rest of the season. i mean, this was the thing that really turned off a's fans once and for all in a lot of ways. there's a whole campaign right now where they're all just unfollowing all the

social media pages for the a's and everybody is done at this point with this ownership group. we should mention baseball owners today really couldn't vote no because that would have killed the entire vegas deal. >> and they're not turning down public financing because the other owners know that they may want public financing in their own cities. so they kind of had to vote yes, but not necessarily a yes, meaning you're moving. >> yeah, exactly. so, again, this kind of just kicks the can down the road, which is something that's happened time, um, and time and time again in this process. and it continues to drag on. we will see what happens. larry. we'll talk a lot more in sports. >> all right. see you then. thank you, casey. >> the big question remaining for apec attendees, what will they wear tonight, we make our best guess at the outfit for the annual family photo. also ahead, our democracy is at stake. >> and alameda county people have a right to vote. your vote matters. >> and tonight, you'll hear from alameda county district attorney pamela price as she fights a recall effort that would remove

a traditional outfit that reflects that country's unique culture and so every year to wrap up the apec summit on the last day of the conference, world leaders wear a piece of clothing that represents the country hosting the event. >> then a group picture is taken . yes, that's former president trump in vietnam in 2017. and there's then-president clinton wearing the traditional shirt from indonesia, asia and later in the philippines. in 1996, former president bush posing for apec 2001 in china. then wearing a chilean poncho in 2004 and the following year in korea. and who can forget then president obama smiling next to the chinese president in traditional chinese clothing. so now for the host country, the us, the situation is a bit of a conundrum because, well, what is america's traditional outfit? the garb i

don't really have like the best perspective on the country. >> so i'm going to say like a burning american flag or the warriors. >> that's a good choice, too, you know, because the warriors are winning. so the warriors got to know everybody's after them. >> a t shirt and a hoodie. and, you know, good sneakers. >> i don't know if i care. >> tough crowd. so we stopped by the clothing store buffalo exchange in san francisco's eclectic haight-ashbury neighborhood to get some ideas and maybe put together a traditional all american outfit. wow wow. this cowboy hat says miracle, except that i can't see the president of china wearing one of these. can you maybe see a black leather motorcycle jacket? yeah, that's usa for you . definitely blue jeans. i mean, the gold rush. levi strauss, am i right? but then i think about the summer of love, freedom of expression and freedom to be who you want to be. that's what

defines america. yeah, but would they wear it? disappointed. but not discouraged. i head over to the forever fashionable lola of san francisco in noe valley. lola? oh, i need your help. >> how can i help? so let's see here what we got. oh, that's going to be good. >> lola herrera immediately knew what we needed and went to work. and finally be fashion meets culture. this is illuminating. you look amazing. do you think they'll like it? >> i think they'll love it. >> wow. well okay, but i don't know. i got to check with somebody and run it by them on zoom. okay, great. >> so stand by. let's do it. >> hi, are you there? can you see me? well what do you think, mr. president? hey. okay we've got it. that's it. america's outfit for apec 2023 in san francisco. so love it or leave it. leon melendez, abc seven

effort to what they call a recall is really an attack on our democracy. >> and that is so important. people voted, as i said, it's been a year ago. people voted for me for change, for a new direction. and so it's bigger than me. da price is launching protect the win a campaign to push back against what she calls false narratives by election deniers. it's about people who don't want to see the criminal justice system reformed and don't want to see change. and unfortunately, they were able to get outside money to fund that. and it's part of a national attack on progressive prosecutors. unfortunately it has come to alameda county. >> price points to major initiative that she's launched just this first year in office, such as hiring more than 120 new staff, including attorneys and victim advocates, expanding the felony trial team, increasing mental health services and addiction recovery through the court systems, a $4 million in funding to fight organized

in the criminal justice system and prioritize, rehabilitate ation over excessive punishment for all, which takes time. >> alameda county is not for sale, and we've proven that over and over again. and now we have to prove it again in alameda county. >> anser hassan abc7 news p-g-and-e's is raising rates next to look at how it convinced the cpuc to sign off on the increase and when you can expect your bill to go up. >> still to come, building a better bay area ad better future for young

year ago, it was 547. >> all right. so that's some good news. this is not your p-g-and-e's bill is going up next year after debate, then deliberation. the california public utilities commission granted the rate increase today, although it is not the full increase that the utility company had been asking for. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard has the details. >> overall, this is an extremely difficult decision. rates are slated to increase and bills will be higher for customers. >> california public utilities commissioners say they struggled with p-g-and-e's rate hike proposal, which will increase the typical monthly bill about $32 or about 13, starting in january. >> we know families already struggle to pay their bills, cut back on energy usage at the expense of their own comfort. we also know that the grid and the pipelines that serve these same families need upgrades, repairs and reinvention. >> the proposal unanimously approved by puc commissioners. it's about $1.8 billion less than the utility request.

p-g-and-e's says the rate increase will allow them to underground about 1200 miles of power lines and increase vegetation management to reduce wildfire ignition risk. it'll also allow the company to upgrade capacity on its electric grid. but dozens of people calling into the hearing said no to the rate hike, no p-g-and-e's doesn't deserve a rate hike. >> it deserves to be regulated back where it belongs in bankruptcy. i am a campfire survivor in paradise, california. >> p-g-and-e's rate hikes are outrageous. fire victims have not been made whole by the rate increases that are proposed are just mind boggling. >> calif consumers energy consumers can't afford. >> former san jose mayor sam liccardo now directs fair california. >> we're all frustrated as so many californians are, that we are having to tighten our belt so severely to pay for rapidly rising p-g-and-e's bills. and the company is not tightening

its belt at a time when it's paying its ceo more than $60 million in compensation. >> in a statement, p-g-and-e's ceo patti poppe said, we appreciate the commission for recognizing the important safety and reliability investments we are making on behalf of our customers, including undergrounding power lines to permanently reduce wildfire risk. thursday's hearing was held in el centro in imperial county. the cpuc says it's designed to enhance community outreach. but liccardo says the venue location was likely no coincidence. >> clearly it's not ideal to have a hearing in el centro. hundreds of miles away from the nearest p-g-and-e's customer at a time when they're deciding how they're going to impose billions of dollars of new costs on ratepayers and utility commissioners say granting the rate increase will require accountability from p-g-and-e's. >> the company will be required to file annual reports on their progress upgrading the grid. the rate increase takes effect january 1st in the newsroom.

struggles on the streets for the unhoused are often debilis stating that's what makes safe, stable housing so important for so many, including jocelyn arenas. >> if i hadn't been accepted into a housing program with my son at the age of 16, i honestly don't know where i would be now. today i probably and i'm being so honest, i don't think i would be here. >> and she's not alone. according to the bill wilson center, california is home to 32% of the nation's homeless, unaccompanied youth and san jose has the highest per capita rate of youth homelessness in the country. we have nearly 85 homeless youth. >> that's youth between ages 18 and 24 years old. for every 100,000 residents in san jose, we must do better with the sound of construction in the background.

>> san jose and santa clara county take a step towards better downtown san jose's pavilion in is being transformed from a hotel to 43 units of permanent affordable housing for youth. it's jamboree housing's first 100% dedicated housing project for people aged 18 to 25, experiencing homelessness or coming out of foster care. >> we hope that this will be a springboard for our our new incoming residents to move on and that it will be a place for them to feel safe and secure, a place where they're valued, a place where they can be themselves. >> something that's a challenge for people struggling with housing security at this age. after success in a similar program, arenas is now a housing activist. she believes this new project will lead to similar successes for future youth residents. i just know that this this property is it's going to be life changing. >> this is incredible project behind us. this is how i cultivate hope that we can have a brighter future than we have today and that we can end up in a place where there are no youth

and young adults experiencing homelessness. in santa clara county, the project is set to open in summer 2024, in san jose. >> dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> won't be long and great to see people getting new hope. >> yes. and they're going to be getting some rain soon in the near term though. >> that's right. sandhya patel is here with the latest and the timing. sandhya yeah, that's right, larry. >> and let's take a look at live doppler seven. we'll talk about what's showing up right now. we have thunderstorm arms off the coastline here. we've already seen some of those storms move on shore around half moon bay. those thunderstorms, not the same exact ones, obviously. and now the rain is beginning to shift northward as we expected around san francisco's bayview district. you will notice also around the marina, chinatown, we are seeing some light to moderate showers. the cells are moving northward. so heading into el cerrito at 749, you will notice this other batch going towards sausalito at 706. and live doppler seven is tracking spotty showers, but brief downpours around seven street in

the east bay. emeryville area also out towards discovery bay and knightsen, they are seeing some wet weather. this is all in association with that cut off low light level one storm that is going to continue to send us waves of showers and chance of thunder as we head into not just tonight but tomorrow as well. so here's a look at what you can expect. most of the showers will come through tomorrow afternoon, evening, but can't rule out an isolated shower in the morning. now, on saturday, we have some more wet weather coming through here. so here's a look at the forecast for tomorrow. showers, chance of thunder. 60s 70s for your friday. the three month winter outlook above average rainfall for the western us which includes the bay area, parts of the central and southeast. you know that there's a strong el nino that we're dealing with and above average temperatures is out west and across the northern tier of states. here's what we do know. it's a level one for friday, saturday. so keep the rain gear handy, chance of thunder. and then one model still wants to hang on to some early morning

showers on sunday. but i think by noon, everything should be done and you'll get a chance to dry out. i just saw the latest models, so amen, larry. all right. that's good, larry. >> not yeah, well, it only took 50 minutes. >> oh, baseball owners voted today to allow the a's to move to las vegas. >> but there are so many questions that still have to be answered before it actually happens. i'll ask abc7's casey exrt, about that hn fisher

kind of a rough day for fans of the green and gold. obviously, as the team inches closer and closer to leaving. our own casey pratt has been following this saga for years now. look we figured this day was coming, but it's not necessarily over just yet. >> yeah, not quite yet. and i feel like i have to keep cautioning people. yes, this is another big step for the a's towards las vegas, but there's still a lot of road left to travel. and we're talking desert roads filled with pitfalls and fake renderings to sure. major league baseball's owners unanimously approved the a's move and also waive the relocation fee. but what they didn't do was present any actual information or show anyone, even a rendering of what this ballpark is supposed to look like. so for now, the only thing we know for sure is that the a's will be playing in oakland through 2024. and after that, who knows?

>> i have no issue with the city of oakland or the mayor. you know, we tried very hard to make a deal in oakland. we did that out of respect for the fans in oakland. >> the outcome of the vote is extremely disappointing, not only as the leader of the city of oakland, but i know that it's going to be hard for the fans as well too. and so but we all know that there is a long way before shovels are in the ground and that there are a number of unresolved issues surrounding this move. >> yeah, so a lot of unresolved issues. mayor shengtao says she wants to keep the door open maybe for john fisher to come back to the table. that's highly, highly unlikely, but especially for the mlb commissioner to try to extend the lease at the coliseum and maybe oakland can get some things back in return for that. all right. >> let's try to do a little bit of a deeper dive since we have a few minutes here. why would baseball owners who've watched john fisher live off of revenue sharing for years and years and years with a plan even in vegas

that includes more revenue sharing in a new park, why would they waive the relocation fee? we could be talking 1 billion or $2 billion. why would they gift him this? >> yeah, not only are they gifting him the relocation fee, they're also not now getting an expansion fee for vegas, which was a prime expansion market. so i think the real reason they're doing this is to point out and make the case that, look, you don't play ball with us, municipi localities of major league baseball, this is what's going to happen to you. and you saw the head of mlb's relocation committee, the brewers owner mark attanasio, asking at the moment for public funds and receiving them today, 500 million as he finished this relocation situation for the a's. so really, it kind of tells you the fix is in a little bit and these guys don't want anything to get between them and free money. yes, free money. >> we all like free money. >> everyone likes free money. >> all right. so let's focus on potential stumbling blocks. and there is some opposition in las vegas. and if this goes to a

ballot measure, who knows? yeah well, first and foremost, john fisher and dave kaval could trip over themselves. >> we've seen them do that many, many times. but schools over stadiums is an issue for them. it's a group led by teachers trying to take away the $380 million in public funds. that's one, too. does john fisher have enough money? i'm already hearing that this $1.5 billion ballpark is more like a $1.8 billion ballpark. and anybody that has done any construction or remodeling on their house knows things never come in under budget. >> very rarely, that's for sure. all right, casey, i know you'll stay on top of this as we continue. appreciate it. >> all right. coming up tonight on abc seven 8:00, the golden bachelor. that is followed at nine by bachelor in paradise. and then, of course, stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz i'm larry viel for sandhya patel. >> we got all the names right. yes, we know who we are up here. >>
