compensation commission is eliminated. it is you can't even look at historical data. >> realtors say that will make it more complicated for agents who now will have to involve potential buyers and sellers and signing new, more complicated paperwork. >> so the buyer and seller are looped into the transaction more so we're able to be more transparent with them about the compensation. there will be more forms for the for the buyer and seller to sign that will be apparent when visiting an open house. >> buyers will be asked to sign forms, and if they don't have an agent representing them, they might not be able to get additional information about a property without an agent. buyers will have to negotiate how much they are willing to pay the agent representing them, but sellers could incentivize a sale by offering to pay all or a portion of the buyer's agent's commission. >> it's the biggest decision of

your life, and it it's probably going to be intimidating regardless of these changes. but the fact that there's going to be so much more information available, hopefully that will take care of some of the anxiety that people might be having about real estate transactions, how these changes will affect commissions or the market is still a big unknown. >> there is no crystal ball. >> i don't believe this is a factor on its own that is going to significantly influence housing prices, but it will be a learning curve for everyone looking to buy or sell a home from now on in the east bay. >> i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> we're following the story of more than two dozen protesters accused of shutting down the golden gate bridge. in fact, we brought you live coverage of the protests back in april. d.a. brooke jenkins issued the warrants on saturday, ordering demonstrators to surrender by today, abc seven news reporter lena howland tells us whether people actually complied free them. all three o

hoping to avoid getting towed after the city implemented a four hour parking restriction for an upcoming repaving project. since then, zoo road became their new home. but last week, the city put them on notice, saying they have to leave zoo road as well because they're always telling us that we have to leave. we met 25 year old victoria olivera. she moved into this rv with her friend in november after losing her housing. >> i work like 85 hours per week. he works almost 50 hours per per week and we just want a home, a place to stay that we don't need to be concerned if we have water or know if we need to move the rv or know. and being denied. it's like, what is wrong with us? >> victoria and gabriel said they have applied to multiple apartments but have been rejected despite having high credit scores and bank statements that prove their incomes. >> we're now living here because we want it. that's the best
4:16 pm
option now. we're trying to change our lives, but it's not that easy, you know? >> many gathered outside their rvs as they waited for city workers to arrive. they were told today help was coming. we met maria feeding her granddaughter on the side of the street. want her to get used to the bottle because the mom has to work. at 1 p.m, city workers set up tables and began to intake people. everyone here is going to be offered some sort of housing. yes >> that's correct. so, especially now with the restrictions, because there's going to be construction. >> some here may qualify to get help from the city for up to three years. >> the rapid rehousing is uh- for 2 to 3 years depending in line. >> we met 11 year old hazel with her parents. >> happy because i we're going to have a place to live. i have been living in arby's for four years now, and many of these residents are not getting actual
4:17 pm
housing. >> today, the city is providing vouchers or financial assistance to help pay for housing. these rv residents still need to find available housing that will accept those vouchers, and that also depends on what's available right now on the market. if they can find housing, then they can finally have some relief. >> yeah, really fluid situation here. so the housing isn't exactly guaranteed. but how long would this assistance possibly last? >> well, there are some requirements to continue to receive the housing assistance. as the program manager mentioned, depending on people's circumstances, they can receive help for up to 2 to 3 years. but it all depends on them finding a place that accepts that assistance. >> all right. and this is not a permanent solution, right? san francisco is not going to be paying for people's rent indefinitely. city workers we spoke to said it's a case by case situation to help people get into housing. but in many cases, some of those rv residents will qualify to get part of their rent paid for up to three years. so, luis, i know you're going to stay on top of this. >> that's right. >> all right. who's paying your

reporting? thank you. >> people on the front lines in the fentanyl crisis among california's young people addressed a state assembly committee today. the panel included parents who have lost children from accidental overdoses, like amy neville. her 14 year old son, alexander, died in june 2020. she says the narrative behind deaths like her son's needs to be changed, saying they should really be referred to as a poisoning as opposed to a drug overdose. >> by referring to alex's death as a poisoning, it helps overcome stigma and opens doors to a conversation. if i say overdose, i met with parents who think they do not need to listen because they do not have a drug problem in their household. when i say poisoned parents want to know more, and that's because we are conditioned from the time we are going to have these babies in our homes to prevent a poisoning. and what to do in the event of a poisoning. >> fentanyl accounted for more than 80% of all drug related deaths among california's young people in 2022. in all, more than 6000 people died from a fentanyl in 2023. >> berkeley voters will decide this fall whether to renew the

4:43 pm
waters. uh- ever the science teacher, walters told us it was a magical moment that has left him with a feeling of wonder. i would be wondering, how much longer am i going to be alive? >> wonder and relief. we're going to need a bigger kayak. >> yeah, you know, dan, what it reminds me of. i don't need to be faster than the shark. i just need to be faster than you. exactly right in your kayak. >> right? right. >> he should play that for people accompanied by the jaws music. you know, doom doom doom doom. >> you know, great experience, actually, it didn't look like the shark was threatening. just curious, but kind of neat to be that close as long as you. >> okay, larry, as a surfer, don't they mistake the surfboard for something they actually want to eat or bite into? >> it's usually the younger sharks that. i mean, there's no way to know. well, yeah. you cannot checking his id, right? i mean, so yeah. but that's typically they get confused. the older sharks can differentiate more effectively. and this is this is not like you know my opinion. this is coming from a bunch of big wave surfers who've
4:44 pm
been out there with sharks. >> larry i know you like to you know, you grew up in hawaii and you like to surf and spend a lot of time in the water. do you ever worry about sharks? i know it's a very rare occurrence. i know, but do you ever. are you concerned about it at all when you're not too much? >> because if i'm surfing, i'm going to go to places where i know, you know, i know what's going on. and it's when i get to like, was in mexico a few weeks ago and there was a crocodile warning on the beach, and i was like, seriously, there's like a crocodile is going to be coming up here in five minutes and they will take my chances with the shark. yeah, yeah, put me in the kayak with the shark and we'll go from there. all right. >> with knowing that a product uses, i make you more willing to buy it a recent study in the journal of hospitality marketing and management showed people in various age groups the same products. the only difference was one was described as high tech and the other as using i. the items included vacuum cleaners, tvs, and consumer and health services. in every single case, the intention to buy or use the service was significantly lower. whenever i was mentioned in the product
4:45 pm
description, researchers say. the study highlights consumers resistance, hesitancy, fear, perhaps to incorporate ai into their daily lives. that's interesting because when you slap the high tech label on it, i think people respond more positively, right? they do, but i it's like, ooh, run! >> you're still trying to sort that out. i think. and people are trying to understand exactly what is the benefit of having ai in your vacuum cleaner and exactly what does it do. and i think we're just a little it's all fairly new to people, so we're a little reluctant. >> i think that explains the resistance or the hesitance. yeah. or is it hesitant myself? >> the ai is the ai involved in the like the manufacturing of the vacuum cleaner, let's say. or is it or how the vacuum cleaner decides what it's going to pick up or what? i mean, like it's it seems a good question, extremely vague. >> all i know is i don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with my vacuum cleaner staring at me, but are you taking over the household? >> are you scared if they market it as smart, like a smart device as opposed to ai device? >> the smart okay smart tvs are
4:46 pm
fine, right? >> yeah, yeah, but not too smart. but not. >> i think we, you know, just like we got used to smart tv and siri and alexa and all that stuff. we'll get used to this too, and become less threatened by it. i think over time, maybe more comfortable with it, >> is france a sore loser, man? >> we i mean, what? sorry. yeah. >> wow. oh, people are still talking about the gold medal men's basketball game that had fans on the edge of their seats. >> amazing. fourth quarter by steph curry helping the us clinch the victory. winning gold over france. and now it seems some people in france are kind of salty over the loss. check out what the french mcdonald's account posted on its instagram page. it translates to for obvious reasons, we're considering removing this source, referencing the chain's classic curry dipping sauce. we don't want any more curry in this country, so he's having a little fun. >> i mean, yes, yeah, i think you're tongue in cheek. take it
4:47 pm
too seriously. >> yeah. i have to say, watching steph in the last 2.5 minutes of that game was just magical masterclass. he was incredible. and what you really see when lebron and kevin durant, two of the best players in the history of the sport, are willing to defer because they want to make sure curry is taking the next shot because they know it's going to go in like that, says all you need to know about the brilliance of steph curry. he's i mean we're so fortunate here to have him on the warriors. we are we are. >> and to and to be alive to see a player of this caliber at this point in our lives and here in the bay area, we're fortunate to have him as a player and as a citizen of this community. >> true. >> yep. yes. >> just as good at that as he is on the court. absolutely. >> yeah. yeah, yeah. >> can i just ask why we don't have that curry sauce for mcnuggets here in the us? oh, it might show up now do we, do we have it? >> i don't know, we should get it, i know or start manufacturing it. >> hey, how about that? >> yeah. >> if you guys are going to pull
