>> also ahead, we didn't have a playbook. we had to create it. >> after six years, london breed is about to leave office as san francisco's mayor. tonight we ask her what's next. >> always live abc seven news starts right now. >> get ready for the fastest bridge toll hike we've ever seen in the bay area. they'll be $10 within five years time. the changes were just approved today. good evening. thank you for joining us. >> i'm dan ashley and i'm dion lim. we're talking about the seven state owned bridges in the bay area. that's everything locally except the golden gate, which has its own pricing structure. >> tolls are going up to $8 on january 1st, part of the final step of toll hikes that voters approved back in 2018. the signs have already changed at the bay bridge. >> now let's go live to abc seven news reporter tim johns for a look at the future changes just approved. >> yeah, tim, walk us through this. give us a bit of a breakdown here.

>> yeah. dan dion, the bay area toll authority approved those changes unanimously. minus just one abstention at their meeting today. but the increases are not proving popular with local drivers. and i want to break down what this means for you at home. so now in 2026, the bridge tolls will rise by $0.50 each year until they reach $10.50 by the year 2030. however, that is for drivers with a fast track. if you do not have a fast track, those prices will be even higher. bay area drivers get ready to pay more money every time you cross one of our local bridges. on wednesday, the bay area toll authority passed a series of increases that will ultimately see the price to cross. the bridge hit $10.50 by the year 2030. >> this is for the maintenance,. rehabilitation and operation of the bridges. strictly. >> john goodwin is a spokesperson for the toll authority. he says the board feels there weren't any other options available to raise the funds necessary to keep the

bridges in good condition. >> the cost for construction projects have outpaced inflation generally. so yes, just in the in the last five years, those costs have have increased dramatically. >> aside from the tolls, goodwin says there will also be a change to how drivers are charged when using carpool lanes leading up to bridges. >> beginning january 1st of 2026, the occupancy requirement for half price tolls during peak periods will be three people at all seven of the bridges across the bay bridge. >> on the streets of san francisco, the coming changes weren't proving popular. >> you're trying to get more people into the city, and prices are enough as it is. >> along the embarcadero, we met monica and her friend marilyn, both of them bay area natives who say they regularly use the bridges to get around monica, specifically telling us she worries about the financial impact it will have on people who rely on crossing the bridges to get to work or to see family.

>> i don't think that's the way to do it. you know, closing this, raising this. >> no. >> but with the toll increases now a certainty. marilyn says she wants to see where her money is actually going. >> what are they doing with that money? because i don't see any type of improvements. >> now, even though the golden gate bridge is exempt from these toll rises, the fees to cross that bridge are also expected to rise in the coming years as well. i'm live in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. all right. >> we appreciate that report, tim. thanks. >> these toll increases are going to be the fastest in the history of the bay area's bridges. all seven bridges adopted a uniform $1 toll back in 1989. it took nearly a decade to change to $2. then it was another six years before tolls went to three bucks. in 2010, tolls went to $5, and the bay bridge introduced congestion pricing, which made it more expensive to travel during peak times and cheaper to travel off peak. we paid $6 tolls in 2019

once the pandemic hit, though in april of 2020, the bay bridge dropped congestion pricing. tolls reached $7 in 2022, and they'll go to eight next year. >> a couple transit agencies are going to be raising rates in the new year. riding muni will get more expensive. a regular single ride will go up from 250 to 275, and bart is increasing fares 5.5%. that's about $0.25 extra on the average fare, it says. that will keep pace with inflation. >> some good news for drivers on 680. in the east bay, crews are now reopening all the lanes of the highway near mission boulevard in the fremont area. they're expected to be fully reopened by 630. sky seven was overhead as caltrans was on the scene fixing a pothole. the center lanes were shut down, leading to a backup of at least ten miles. it was a real mess and gridlock on city streets as well in fremont, as people look for alternative ways to get around.

>> governor newsom has declared a state of emergency in california over the bird flu. the governor says he's taking the threat posed by the virus seriously. this declaration will give government agencies extra resources and the flexibility to respond to the virus. it's been detected in 16 states, including california. all of the people sickened have had exposure to infected cattle. there are no known cases to of person to person spread. a deadly discovery in milpitas. police are investigating the deaths of two adults and two children. police found their bodies in an apartment at a complex on mccandless drive last night. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey talked to neighbors shocked by the tragic discovery. >> a single bouquet of flowers sat outside the doof apartment 102, in the touring at the fields complex in milpitas. a small sign of respect from a grieving neighbor after a family of four was found dead in the household tuesday evening. community members who work and

live in this building were shocked and heartbroken. >> i'm very shocked considering it happened in milpitas like nothing really ever happens in milpitas. >> it's scary, you know, i'm a we have a family, we got children ourselves. and to think that, you know, we're just right above, you know, the unit that it happened in and not knowing any information it you know it's a it's concerning. >> milpitas police say family members said they had not heard from the family who lived here for several days. a man, woman and two pre-teen children were found by officers with what police are calling obvious signs of death, with no further details. one neighbor told us a strong odor came from the apartment tuesday night. jerry saldana noticed the active scene wednesday morning when i came down. >> i mean, literally, if the door was here, there's tape here, there's tape there. then there was some some, you know, furniture, like an office chair, some other just random house items out and one officer out when i walked by. >> m-p-d says there have been no

other calls to this apartment in the past. they could not confirm if a weapon was found or how the family died. >> at this time, all the evidence suggests it was an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to public is safety. this investigation is ongoing. >> neighbors say this is a new luxury apartment complex in a safe, quiet area. the person who left the flowers said he would see the children playing in this courtyard frequently, their soccer ball still sitting on the ground. saldana lives right upstairs, and as a father himself, he can't believe this tragedy happened so close to the holidays. >> got to appreciate everyone and make sure you stay safe, even, you know, in your own home, i guess. i mean, it's sad to think something like that is so close, you know, just it breaks my heart. >> in milpitas, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> all right, let's move now to a seven on your side investigation involving something vital. homeowners insurance. and we continue to hear from families dropped by their insurance companies because of google earth aerial images. >> now, tonight, seven on your

side investigates how it's being used and why it's become misleading and inaccurate. >> abc seven news reporter stephanie sierra is digging into that for us, and she's here with the story. >> steph. yeah, we all know the insurance crisis is at its worst point, but this really underscores the problem. we're seeing some pretty bizarre non-renewals from insurers across the market right now. reasons that are simply false, vague, and in some cases have nothing to do with the homeowners and property upon review. >> we have not received sufficient proof that the below hazards have been fully remedied. >> getting dropped by your insurer is bad enough. what's even more frustrating for olivia rivera ochoa, when the reasons cited about her castro valley property is nowhere to be found. >> there's no hazards or anything. >> just wait. it gets worse for kathryn kaufman in san francisco. she was dropped in may by liberty mutual because, according to google earth, they found algae mold on my roof.

turns out there was no mold, just like the hoovers we profiled last week who also got dropped by liberty. >> they sent me some aerial views that showed absolutely nothing. >> in catherine's case, she also got an inspector to come out. roof no issues. chimney checked. she even bought a new hvac system. the school bus driver and sfusd teacher was trying to make ends meet working four jobs. yet after three months of investments, she still got dropped. why? >> what they told me was that the pictures i sent were in the wrong format. you're done. so i sent them in another format and i said, the roof is solid, the work is done. >> turns out the last straw for liberty mutual was a picture formatting issue. >> i offered them more money. i offered them inspections. i offered to do anything they needed or wanted, but they said nope, nope nope nope nope nope. >> in olivia's case, they needed more pictures, but they never stated exactly what they wanted.

>> but the lack of clarity was the issue. >> this person i talked to told me no, they want the left side of your yard, which i did. send them the left side, but they want more of the left side of the yard. >> liberty mutual sent her this inspection report stating she was dropped because of a debris hazard around her property, but all it said was not on her roof. the company never specified where the image only included a red arrow pointing to the side of her house. >> then they said, oh, that that arrow wasn't supposed to specify an area. >> she says the company could never tell her what area they were referring to. they just sent her this email for the non-renewal decision remains, so she appealed by sending even more pictures of all areas around her house showing no visible debris. a second chance catherine did not even get. >> i think they really were just looking for any excuse to get rid of me. >> now we reached out to liberty mutual regarding these two cases, and the company told us they have reached out to both

olivia and catherine to address this. and i should note seven on your side is seeing the same situations with other insurers, including triple a, safeco, state farm, farmers as well as geico. so it's so frustrating for any of us stuck in this. i'll tell you, we're hearing about these non-renewals as vague as clutter to in this case i got today, which was, i quote, a small branch the size of a pencil near the corner of a shed. it sounds like a joke. >> yeah, we've been dropped twice, actually. >> oh, boy. >> it's so frustrating. >> you know, on that note, you have to think that there is something that the commissioner's reform plan can do to hold people accountable. >> yeah. no, it's a good question. not quite. you know, the commissioner is allowing insurers to use what's called catastrophe models, which are basically software algorithms that will weigh different risk factors to decide our policies. and lata says it will be fair and transparent. but his critics say just the opposite could happen, with concerns over redlining in high risk areas. so we'll see. >> all right, stephanie, thank you. >> remember, if you need help

with your home insurance, please let us know about it. reach out to seven on your side by going to abc7 news.com/7 on your side. >> well, today is the day prop 36 takes effect, just over a month after voters approved it to increase sentences for certain crimes. next, we'll take a look at how it will be applied in the bay area. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. we have some fog coming our way once again tonight. i'll show you where. plus a look at when rain is back in the forecast. when

in the november election. california's proposition 36 takes effect today, increasing

penalties for certain theft and drug crimes. of the ten propositions on the ballot, prop 36 passed by the widest margin 68 to 31%. according to the final tally of votes, abc seven news reporter monica madden is here with us. and monica, california voters just fed up about crime and public safety. this was the result. >> yeah, that's the message that they sent dan. and this has been building up for years, especially after retail theft and burglary spiked during the pandemic. reported shoplifting, shoplifting of merchandise valued at up to $950 actually rose 28% over the past five years. that's according to the public policy institute of california. so law enforcement leaders are cautioning that this new law will not be a magic solution overnight. in 2014, california voters approved prop 47, reclassifying theft up to $950 and certain drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. the hope was to reduce overcrowding in prisons. ten years later, and voters reversed

course, approving increases on those criminal penalties. >> it's voters saying we're fed up with the current state of affairs. >> now, district attorneys like san francisco's brooke jenkins can pursue felony charges for repeat offenders of theft and drug related crimes. opponents say this will be a return to mass incarceration and the war on drugs era. >> more people we put in cages, the safer our communities will be, and it's simply not true. >> i want to really make clear that we will still be thoughtful about what sentence we impose. >> a treatment mandated felony now will offer alternatives for those charged with drug possession, offering rehab instead of prison. time for repeat offenders by completing the treatment, charges will be dropped, but if they don't, they could serve up to three years behind bars. >> now, with misdemeanors, there's very little teeth for us to really kind of urge somebody to get treatment. unlike if a felony is sort of hanging over your head, you're more likely to engage in the treatment offer that is being made. and so that's the thought process. >> jenkins warns californians

shouldn't expect immediate change. >> this is not a magic wand. it could take some time. it could take a year or more because you're talking about somebody having to be caught and rearrested for the same behavior more than once, and then prosecuted in the system and receive a conviction, especially depending on sentencing. people have to have two underlying convictions for the misdemeanor conduct. first, before we're eligible to consider charging them with a felony. and for so long now, it's been very difficult to get those misdemeanor convictions because oftentimes they're being granted diversion in our courts. and so diversion wipes your record clean. and so it's going to take time for us to see if we can get misdemeanor convictions in some of these cases and then build towards ultimately for repeat offenders charging that felony. and so i do want to temper people's expectations. >> now, jenkins says her office will not be retroactively applying prop 36. in terms of looking for people who would now qualify for more serious charges moving forward, though, if

someone has two misdemeanor convictions and gets another charge, it's fair game for pursuing felony charges. dionne. dan. >> all right. we'll see how this plays out. monica. thank you. >> all right. moving on to the weather now. hard to believe winter is just a few days away. >> it felt like we have been having some winter, but it's not officially here. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the forecast. >> yeah. you know what, dan and diane, we've had those chilly nights, and then we've had the fog. it certainly is already feeling like winter. it arrives this saturday at 120 in the morning, and it's starting to look like winter. look at this from our exploratorium camera, very decked out embarcadero center. i like the holiday look there that they're sporting. here's a look at the evening forecast. if you are stepping out, definitely bundle up inland areas in the mid 40s, dropping off into the low 40s and you will see some fog reforming. we've already got it in patches inland temperatures around the bay going from the 50s to the 40s, with some areas of fog during the late night early morning hours and along the coastline. you're the mildest in

the mid 50s, eventually dropping off into the low 50s on live doppler seven. we do have some high clouds passing through and a little bit of fog out towards the delta that is going to expand this morning. you remember how thick that fog was? i mean, it was hard to see in front of you. it was like thick pea soup. looking at the visibility from earlier in the day, it was down to zero in some spots. so really watch out. once again, although not as widespread, we are expecting some of the fog, the tule fog from the central valley to come back into our area. so here's a look at the visibility. right now it's about six miles in livermore, ten miles in napa, oakland, san francisco, santa rosa, mountain view, and san jose. we also have rain coming our way, but these systems that are developing over the pacific don't actually get in here until the weekend. so let me show you what's happening out ahead of those storms. the storms are definitely churning up the waters here. so we have a beach hazard statement until 6 p.m. tomorrow. current

wave heights are 4 to 9ft. expecting breakers 10 to 13ft with a risk of sneaker waves and rip currents. so be careful at the coast. beautiful view from our east bay hills. camera 53, in san francisco hayward right now. mid 50s from oakland to redwood city and half moon bay is at 59 degrees. san jose cameras showing you a lovely view. right now it is a chilly 46 in petaluma, livermore, fairfield, most other areas in the 50s, 49 in concord and from our golden gate bridge camera. t definitely looks different from earlier today where there was fog overnight. some dense fog again next two days. mild and mainly sunny for most of you this weekend we are expecting winter and the wet pattern to return first thing tomorrow morning. watch out for that fog, especially out towards the delta. you can see the fog footprint here. upper 30s to the upper 40s tomorrow afternoon, looking at highs ranging from the mid 50s inland where the fog is slow to burn back all the way to the low 70s in the south bay where it will be mild. and then here comes the rain on

saturday. it's not real heavy. sunday night we have another round of that wet weather coming, and then another storm gets in here monday night. going into christmas eve, that storm looks stronger with gusty winds, which is tuesday. wednesday, which is christmas day. another storm is kind of nearing us, but not necessarily over us. so the weekend totals are about a 10th to just over an inch. we go into wednesday and we'll be adding some more to these. so some of the wetter spots will be picking up over 2.5in. accuweather seven day forecast. you've got yourself some more fog. winter starts on saturday level one systems beginning on saturday, right on through christmas eve, and it will be cool for santa on christmas day. >> you got that big red coat? oh yeah, he'll be fine. >> santa has got to be fine. yeah. >> santa. thanks. >> all right, well, today's fog affected bay area airports. >> this is a live look at san francisco international where conditions have improved. thank goodness more than 200 flights today were delayed. about double the number from yesterday. the ground delay was lifted about

2:00 this afternoon. and here's what it looked like at san jose mineta international airport. the fog also caused delays there. a ground stop was lifted just hours ago. >> california has high ambitions when it comes to fighting climate change. and while the state just got a green light for a new plan, you could say there's a yellow light flashing they will grow up.

cheer on wall street today. the dow jones had its 10th straight negative session. that is the longest losing streak in 50 years. the dow lost more than 1100 points, the nasdaq dropped more than 700 and the s&p 500 fell 178. not even a cut in interest rates helped save the stock market. today, the federal reserve slashed interest rates by another quarter of 1%. but wall street got antsy after fed chairman jerome powell hinted there will be far fewer interest rate cuts next year than anticipated. >> i do expect that the federal reserve will reduce interest rates next year, but it's going to come at a much slower, more cautious, more deliberate pace because of inflation. >> inflation ticked up to nearly 3% in november. the next time the fed meets will be in january after donald trump takes office.

to run for governor. i, i am not ruling anything out. >> is a higher office in sacramento calling london breed, or is she looking for change in something entirely outside of politics? >> breed has only a few more weeks in office as san francisco mayor, and during her tenure, she led the city through some pretty difficult times a pandemic, a drug crisis, and a persistent homeless problem. >> and she sat down with abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez to reflect on her six years in office. and so much happened during that time. leanne is with us now to share what she had to say. >> yeah, well, you know, six years you think is a long time, but it seemed even longer because of all the things that she went through. the city went

through now. london breed is unapologetic, saying she and her staff did the best job they could do, given the many roadblocks that they came across. now, what struck me about this interview was how calm and prepared she was for the moment of defeat. so it seems everyone wants to know what's next for london breed. so let's start there. >> who knows, i may i may write a book. i may start my own business. i just don't know what i want to do. but i want to take a moment to just take some time for myself so that i can figure it out. >> london breed admits her humble upbringing shaped her identity, yet she never allowed others to perceive her as anything less than a rising star. in 2013, she was sworn in as the supervisor of her district, which includes the western addition, the only neighborhood she's really known. it was only a matter of time

before she became president of that board, and in that role, the unexpected landed abruptly. december 11th, 2017. then mayor ed lee suffered a massive heart attack. do you remember that call? >> i also remember right after i got that call because it was, you know, just really it was, unbelievable. i remember texting my pastor and saying, you know, pray for me, pray for the city, pray for the mayor. like, just, you know, i felt instantly, we need prayers because i don't know what this entails. >> as president of the board, by law, she became the interim mayor. it was short lived as the board voted for someone else, mark farrell. >> i call it the red wedding happened when i was removed. if you know game of thrones, you know what i'm talking about. >> one supervisor, hillary ronen, said she could not vote for breed because she allegedly was supported by white rich men

and billionaires. instead, ronen and most of the board voted for farrell, a white male venture capitalist. what was that all about? i mean, is this what they call a knife fight in a phone booth? when they referred to san francisco politics? >> well, maybe. and i think it was, of course, a very unfortunate situation. and it was really offensive to on top of that. and i appreciate the fact that since then, supervisor ronen and i have actually developed a really great relationship and been able to work together. >> five months after that incident, san francisco voters sided with breed as she won the special election to finish mayor lee's term and then in 2019 was elected again, this time to a full term in 2019, i. >> full speed ahead i had plans, i was really excited about what i had wanted to accomplish. i said it when i was sworn in and

then the pandemic hit. this is not the time to panic. >> under her leadership, san francisco was among the first cities in the country to issue a mandatory stay at home order. many applauded her quick decision, but others often criticized her for waiting too long to reopen the city. she told us she has no regrets. >> i had no problem taking making hard decisions because and making hard decisions with the understanding that people are going to be upset about it. and i could be wrong, but i'd rather be wrong than to have a bunch of people, you know, lose their life on my watch. >> while the city was distracted by the pandemic, a relatively new drug on the streets called fentanyl made its way through the tenderloin. there were other side effects of the pandemic, such as fencing operations, break ins and an increase in homelessness as people from outside of san francisco made

their way here. at that time, it seemed like the city went to hell in a handbasket. now, would you have done anything differently? >> we didn't have a playbook. we had to create it as we went. i mean, we covid fentanyl and it was really the perfect storm, the perfect storm, and the hits kept coming. >> breed was then forced to take a tough on crime approach in a city that usually celebrates compassionate policing. then there were her ties with people in her administration accused of corruption and ethical violations. breed was able to distance herself from any wrongdoing. but despite a tumultuous few years, breed reminds everyone that during her administration, she introduced more shelter beds than any previous mayor. the tents have all but disappeared, and crime is the lowest it's been since the 1960s. and when it comes to housing, part of helping people

exit homelessness is getting them out of shelter into something permanent. >> we've helped over 20,000 people exit homelessness because that's what it all boils down to. all roads lead to housing. >> despite those successes, why do you think you lost? >> well, the city is better, but it's too little, too late. right? and so i heard a lot of that. why did it take so long? but i also think there was a lot of money. like i didn't have money for those kinds of commercials over and over again. there was a lot of money against me. the thing that i appreciate the most is the voters gave me the opportunity in the first place, and i will always be grateful for that. >> that picture of you taking the oath in 2013 when you first become supervisor, if you could, what would mayor breed today? tell london breed back then, i would have told myself back then. >> take a minute. just take a

minute to really recognize the significance of the work thate you do and how it's impacted people. and don't be so quick to move on to the next thing. >> and as things in the city begin to improve and they have, breed said if she only had one more year in office, she probably would have been reelected. now, i have a feeling this will not be the last interview she does as an elected official. i may be wrong, but you know, she has a lot of passion and she says the next step she takes is going to have to be a job with a lot of passion. >> you know, she's weighing her options. yes, yes, very much. >> still to come. public art vandalized may be all by the same person. and now someone is under arrest. >> plus plans to give a pay raise to congress that surprised even some members of perfect for wherever your little passengers want to go. i want a hot chocolate! yeah! i want to go sledding!

just running out onto the field. he is going to be a free agent at the end of this season, so his focus is on playing well against the dolphins. >> honestly, the only thing that goes to my mind is whipping miami and just going to go do it with my brothers having fun. >> regardless of the situation. it is a blessing to be out there to strap it up. you know, every time i go out, i come in the locker room before a game and i see the pads with the with the 40 niners jersey on it, and i'm in year seven and it still like gives me goosebumps just even looking at that. so it's always going to mean a lot. >> san jose state all-american wide receiver nick nash announced he will not be playing in next week's hawaii bowl. instead, he's going to focus on preparing for the nfl draft. this has been a growing trend in recent years. star players they don't want to risk injury in bowl games. he's a good player. he led the country in receptions, receiving yards and td catches. the spartans will play south florida on christmas eve on oahu. cal and unlv. it's called the art of sport. la ball presented by gronk. hi, gronk.ll uh. cal quarterback fernando

mendoza left to enter the portal. so they're going to run the ball a lot. and this is jaden od on a 48 yard scamper down the sideline to set up a field goal unlv scores on a long pass play cal's josiah martin. oh look at the move right there 29 yards he gone. right now it is ten seven cal. and they're in the second quarter. western kentucky and james madison and the boca raton bowl. second quarter hilltoppers quarterback caden veltkamp 11 yards to dalvin smith came down inbounds there 14 seven western kentucky. but they were outscored 20 to 3 in the second half. billy adkins is coming right at you in your living room to taylor thompson james madison their first ever bowl win, 2717 was the final. all right let's talk nba. the warriors are in desperate need of a second score to take some of the pressure off steph curry. this has been a recurring theme year after year. and that's why they made the deal to acquire dennis schroder from the brooklyn nets. the german native was averaging 18 points and almost seven rebounds per game.

he's going to run the point in the all important non steph minutes. okay steve kerr he's coached against schroder for years. he's happy to have him on his side for a change. >> he's a gamer. you know he's a competitor. and i love guys like that. i also like guys who have been through the wringer a little bit. he's played on about 6 or 7 different teams. you have to go through the nba to really feel it and to appreciate the ups and the downs, and we feel great about a guy who's a winner and a competitor, and we're getting him at the right time in his career and in our our current situation. >> warriors at memphis tomorrow. strange and scary moment. last night's sharks game followed the circle. goalie vitek vanecek took a puck to the face. this is while he was sitting on the bench. it's got to be pretty serious because today the sharks announced that vanecek is going to be week to week. he's out week to week. it's not like a 1 or 2 day thing. the sharks have recalled yaroslav askarov from the san jose barracuda

as their backup goalie for now, so hopefully vitek heals up quickly. sports on abc seven is sponsored by st and final. >> we didn't get hit in the eye. >> you don't know. so this art of la bowl. this is last year it was the jimmy kimmel bowl. and i don't know jimmy just like you know out of money i don't know what the situation is. i'm sure somebody was paying it for him. so i thought art of la it must be like a museum or something. very majestic. gronk with gronk. that should have been the first. the first clue. it's a deodorant. >> oh you're kidding. >> oh yes. >> so they got the right spokesperson. exactly on brand. we're on brand. all right. thanks very much. >> well don't forget tonight on abc seven at eight it's the iheartradio jingle ball 2024. that's followed by celebrity family feud at ten. and then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. all right. that's it for this edition of abc seven news. >> i'm diane lim and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel larry beil all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and that we see you again for abc seven news
