moment for once to be about him. so they handed him the ball and watched him score. >> if you watch the video he does a little hop after he scores his touchdown and for aidan to express himself to that regard speaks volumes to how excited he was. i'm not a cryer but nature but yeah, i broke down and cried. i was lucky to be that person to choose that, but there's millions of people that would make that decision if you knew aidan. >> beautiful story. >> it's been nice to share some good stories with garvin tom th. after a 45-year run san francisco's iconic beach blanket babylon held its last performance. ♪

there could be a granny unit boom in california this year as new laws also called accessory dwelling units, adus, go into effect today. no longer a minimum lot size requirement or any requirement for how far the unit has to be from the street. as we've been reporting, bay area cities like san jose, oakland and san francisco are already changing rules to allow more granny units and they've seen a big spike. a chilly weather won't keep people from participating in the polar bear plunge, an annual event happening today at noon at ocean beach. it's too cold out there! participants first ride their bikes down the great highway in san francisco and jump into the pacific ocean. just a heads up from both events, clothing is optional. >> oh. >> most people end up staying nude. >> maybe they're trying to keep their clothes dry. >> maybe it's good for the skin, i don't know. >> it's not for me. >> it's just too cold. >> it is too cold. >> do they raise money for char isn't it.

and total disaster. let obamacare implode. nurse: these wild attacks

on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. i've been a nurse in new york for thirty years. i know the difference leadership can make because i saw what mike bloomberg did as mayor. vo: mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40%, covering 700,000 more new yorkers, life expectancy increased. he helped expand health coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care--- infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. and as mayor, mike bloomberg always championed reproductive health for women. so when you hear mike bloomberg on health care... mrb: this is america. we can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. nurse: you should know, he did it as mayor, he'll get it done as president. mrb: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

5:42 and our temperatures are starting to dip into the 30s. look at that, san martin 39 degrees. santa cruz 41. 44 in san jose and low 40s up through the north bay. did you enjoy yesterday's temperatures? you might enjoy today's as well. we're talking about 50s that will be comfortable and a little bit of cloud cover headed into the first day of january. let's get to our traffic now, drive times i wanted to show you the commute westbound 80 toward the bay bridge 8 minutes. and you just saw that change from the dumbarton bridge about 9 minutes. an abrupt reversal involving real estate heir robert durst who is fighting murder charges

in the death of his friend in 2000. you remember authorities arrested him in 2015 as an hbo documentary was being released that seemed to implicate him in three homicides, including the death of susan berman. durst wrote a mysterious note directing police to berman's body. investigators have always maintained only berman's killer could have written that note. now to a follow-up, firefighters battling a blaze at a southern california strip mall discovered an illegal marijuana grow operation inside. it happened yesterday morning in anaheim. we showed you the video then. parts of the roof ended up collapsing. no injuries were reported. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. the rebuilt oroville dam spillway has not been used this winter but it's ready to go when necessary. storms in 2017 left huge holes in the old spillway. reconstruction was completed in

the spring and used for the first time last april. upgrades to the spillway include thicker concrete and taller walls. california could lose a congressional seat according to new estimates from the u.s. census bureau. recent stats show many people are leaving california and moving to states like texas and florida. congressional seats based on population with estimates california could lose a seat in the house of representatives. meantime, texas is poised to gain three seats. florida would gain two. the carpool lane might get more crowded. california allows solo drivers with an electric car. a new law allows low income drivers in the lane if they have a secondhand electric car. in order to qualify the driver must make more than, can't make more than $65,000 a year and they just need to buy a new clean air sticker. payday will be better for

some bay area workers because of a new minimum wage set to go up to $15 an hour today. local cities will get a pay boost in the new year, include belmont, menlo park and south san francisco. the number of cities with at least a $15 minimum wage is expected to double in 2020. new efforts to go green in california mean new standards for light bulbs. standard light bulbs burn out very quickly. so consumers have to keep buying new ones every year. that hurts the pocketbook and hurts the environment. now new standards require light bulbs to emit more light per watt so they can last longer and bans the sale of standard light bulbs and that new law goes into effect today. 5:45 for you. in a few hours the world famous rose parade kicks off. thousands waited to see the floats and millions will turn on their television to watch it. >> darsa flil liphillips is liva

set for 1:35. as we've been saying all morning long to you, beware of today's high surf advisory, because those waves could get up to 35 feet, and we've been telling you all morning that you need to be careful, but perhaps nothing proves that point more than this next video. you see that person, that is scary. look at this again, the waves come up and the person right there is knocked over by those waves. it shows a man there, this is at bonnie don's beach in santa cruz, as massive waves crash in. the great news here he was rescued and he's okay. do not turn your back on the waves or put yourself in the path of waves like that in a dangerous situation there. >> sometimes it's hard to tell until you see that perspective of how small the person is.
