bath, nearly 2000 square foot 1900s home in one of berkeley's most desired neighborhoods for just $400,000. so what's the catch? it's a risky investment, for sure. but it is a great location. the zillow listing holds nothing back. the house, located on a 4800 square foot lot, features a great location near the gourmet ghetto neighborhood. but that's where the perks stop. according to the listin the building has had no maintenance done since 1974. both the roof to the sunroom and the garage have collapsed. the home is leaning off the foundation. there's an active water leak that's been ongoing for a decade. and the home comes with an 83 year old tenant who will live rent free for the duration of his lifetime. that's the kind of property a small developer like me really likes. yeah. why? because that's opportunity. you know, it's too far gone for a fix and flip type

that something is happening, because it's a shame to have a house like that. clearly, there's a person living there that needs to live there, and i'm supportive of that position and his rights to live there. but as as a resident of the neighborhood, it's a derelict property. it's literally falling down in the back. it'd be nice to see it repositioned. in berkeley velena jones, nbc, bay area news. we have new details about that 15 year old boy who was stabbed to death at santana row. according to a post from the family on social media, the boy was on a valentine's day date with his girlfriend last friday. the post says he was beaten and then stabbed in the heart. police say the attackers ran off and have not been caught. investigators have not confirmed the number of people involved or whether they were also teenagers today at santana row. shoppers were stunned. that's so abrupt. like that's the way his life ended. like, i feel bad for, like, him and his family because i'm like, he was 15. like he had so much life left to live on the peninsula

thousand people. and while there were those who helped arrange the time and place, they emphasized it was a leaderless event, meaning anyone could speak if they wanted. and many did get on your damn. phones and pay. we are going to change this, but we can only do it if we all are together and we all are marching. just like today. the consistent message at today's demonstration in downtown san jose was, for those who don't like the trump administration policies, it was time to get over the shock of the president's first few weeks and speak out publicly. i am here for my students. i am here for my female students to have the same opportunities as their male students. i am here for my transgender coworker to feel safe when she comes to work. there was loud support for

dealership every week moving forward. one person is in jail after an altercation with police that led to officers firing their weapons happened last night near san leandro and unincorporated ashland. police say just before 9 p.m, police were searching for someone connected to a vehicular assault. the investigation led them to 164th and east 14th. that's where they found the car and the suspect. at some e poin, the officers fired their weapons. unclear, though at this point. what led to the shooting? the suspect was arrested and no one was hurt. a lot of emotion on the campus of sonoma state university. it's all about cutting its sports teams. we've been following this story for a couple of weeks now. today, nba player jalen wells came back to support his alma mater. he was on campus. wells is a rookie for the memphis grizzlies. he was in town for all the all star festivities. he's also a sacramento native. last month, sonoma state announced it's eliminating the entire athletics program because of a budget deficit. wells, who competed in
6:08 pm
last night's all-star game, is hoping to convince the university to reconsider. i mean, i spent two great years here, a lot of memories i can't erase. i know about what it's like to be an athlete here. i know the joy you get from, you know, just putting on that sonoma state jersey. and then the reality of it too, like, i mean, like it's obvious we don't have the most resources. talamantes eggman the university says in this statement, sonoma state appreciates jalen's passion and support for the university. we wish him every success as his nba career flourishes and are happy to have been part of his journey. new at six tonight, an east bay photo shop is looking to the community for help after a burglary early yesterday morning. it happened at the looking glass photo and camera shop in berkeley. police say a car rammed right through the front doo multiple times, destroying the entire front of that store. thieves also made off with a significant amount of merch. owners have set up a gofundme page to help with
6:09 pm
rebuilding costs. the looking glass has been a berkeley staple for more than 50 years now. okay. another plane crash investigators are looking to into this crash involving a regional commuter jet. it happened this afternoon. look at this. you can see it. that delta flight from minneapolis heading to toronto flipped. all 80 passengers on board were able to get out, but more than a dozen were rushed to local hospitals. here's nbc's jay gray with what we know so far. the delta regional jet out of minneapolis apparently started to have problems during landing at pearson international airport in toronto, skidding across the runway, then rolling over. my friend rushed there first, and then he saw the croix. the croix crashed on the runway. so i was like, yeah, i got to go check it out. and the next thing i saw is basically a plane that the plane that basically flipped on the runway. 76 passengers and four crew members all survived. first and foremost, there was no loss
6:10 pm
of life. and this is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals, our first responders at the airport. 17 injured passengers were quickly taken to local area hospitals. at this time, we do not know if any of those passengers having critical injuries. the right wing was ripped from the plane during the crash. that's what they're going to look at to start with. where is that wing and how did it get how did it leave the airplane? former pilot john cox says wind gusts at the time may have been a contributing factor. with it being that gusty, i think it's possible the wing may have touched the runway due to a gust. and if that's the case, then the rest of this makes sense. but the recorders are going to show that. canadian aviation teams are the lead in an investigation that is just beginning. jay gray, nbc news delta, issuing a statement saying in part that it has
6:11 pm
activated its passenger inquiry center for family and loved ones of everyone on that flight today. they will share updates when they come available on news. delta.com. be sure to stay with us for continuing coverage on this crash in toronto. it's % just about 20 minutes. up next is california's cannabis industry in decline? what new numbers about pot licenses are now showing us? also, we heard it time and time again. gas prices are rising in california. how? the recent fire at a bay area refinery is adding to the spike. the weather was lovely this weekend and now we're setting up for the week ahead. a few changes you should know about, but we do have warming and rain included, so stick around. we'll hav the fulle
6:12 pm
i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe.

6:14 pm
sfgate is reporting that more than 10,000 inactive cannabis licenses across the state, compared to just 8500 licenses still active. those numbers come from the state's cannabis control department. there are also over 1000 inactive distribution licenses, about 500 inactive delivery licenses, and over 300 inactive retail licenses. state law requires these licenses to operate, and they are pricey. some can cost up to $300,000. industry experts say the drop in licenses is likely due to the challenges that the cannabis companies are facing. expensive regulations, lack of enforcement of illegal operations and those high costs to actually get a license. okay, you might have noticed already gas prices are spiking, creeping up past the $5 mark. so what's behind this latest increase? aaa says refineries are starting their transition to the summer blend, which is usually results in higher prices. they're also pointing to the martinez refinery that's been offline
6:15 pm
since that fire a couple of weeks ago. the state average is now about 4.85 for a gallon of regular, compared to the national average of about $3.15 in the bay area. of course, it's higher san jose about $5.01. that's up $0.60 from a month ago. oakland 504 and about 518 a gallon in san francisco, also up $0.60 there as well from one month ago. all right. let's take you outside, give you a live look at the bay bridge from our emeryville camera. looks pretty good outside there right now, which is pretty nice. and we're seeing some temperatures go up just a little bit right now, just enough to where you can enjoy the outdoors. not just inland, but even around the coast. yeah. look how gorgeous that sunset is. that gorgeous. now, we do have a bit of a rain chance moving in, but it does look like it's going to depend on where you will be in the middle of the week. aside from that, this next 7 to 10 day outlook looks overall calm compared to what we've been seeing. also, not as cold in the mornings as some of those frost
6:16 pm
advisories and freeze warnings that we got to experience just last week. now let's take a look at the temperatures throughout the bay area. we are in the 50s throughout in san jose. it's about 54 degrees. walnut creek 56, san francisco 54. seeing a bit more of that wind around the coast at about 20mph. aside from that, a nice mix of sun and clouds. and here's the reason why. you can see on satellite we've got those high clouds rolling through, and we'll continue to see that inching into that tuesday forecast. tomorrow will be very similar to what we saw today, and that will include some patchy fog late tonight into early tomorrow. notice we do have that half moon bay visibility down to about fourur miles. but we're starting to see some of that fog creeping into santa cruz, also stretching in through parts of the south bay. we'll see that likely tomorrow morning as well as you wake up tomorrow, we're going to see some low 40s. again, no frost advisories, no freeze warnings so that clouds will help as a blanket keeping us just a little bit warmer compared to what we've seen now inching into that afterernoon fr tomorrow, we've got this ridge of high pressure. that's what's been keeping the calm in the weather pattern. notice the
6:17 pm
daytime highs will be comfortable. we're talking mid 60s out there and this is just the beginning of what will be warmer temperatures ahead. now i do want to get to that midweek rain chance that i mentioned on wednesday. we're monitoring this system right now just to our north. now as this cold front drops down right now, it looks like rain chances will be mainly for areas north of the golden gate, but san francisco and the peninsula could get in on some of those showers. we're talking a couple hundredths of an inch. aside from the rain chance, we're also going to notice the wind speeds picking up as well. so once we hit that thursday friday outlook, things get dry again. we get a ridge of high pressure settling in, and that ridge of high pressure is really going to crank up the warmth for us now, inching into that wind gust forecast as we head into tonight, san francisco is going to continue to see those 20 plus mile per hour winds. tomorrow. wind speeds will be calm, but just looking ahead into what we can expect for that wednesday rain chance. notice those wind gusts pick up really just mainly for the north bay 20 plus. and that rain chance is also going to be associated with the cold front. so it's going to include
6:18 pm
a wintry mix. this could drop anywhere from about 1 to 4in for some of those higher elevation areas for the sierra. and it could have some travel delays. so if you have plans to head to the sierra for wednesday, you definitely want to be mindful of that. now, aside from that rain chance on wednesday, things really do settle in quite nicely. starting on thursday, look at saturday and sunday, the return, or i should say the arrival of seventys. we're getting a sneak peak of spring and that will mean some higher temps as well for san francisco as we inch into the upper 60s heading into saturday and sunday. beautiful temperatures to look forward. that looks great. thank you. vianey. up next, saving the tiles. the race to save a specific piece of california history as crews remove millions of pounds of debris from the eaton fire burn

video shows protesters blocking the entrance of the calabasas landfill this morning, one of the sites where the debris is being transported from properties destroyed by the palisades fire. this is all part of phase two of debris removal. during phase one, the environmental protection agency cleared out the hazardous waste. now, the army corps of engineers will bulldoze burned lots down to six inches below the topsoil, about 2.5 million tons of debris from 9000 properties will be removed. in altadena alone, this will be hauled to a park about 15 minutes away in a small city called duarte. okay, something in the rubble that some want to save. tiles, volunteers and a group called save the tiles is doing just that in altadena. they're looking to preserve the history of the community by pulling historic batchelder tiles from the rubble. the tiles which lined fireplaces and those fireplaces are often the only thing left standing on the downed properties. ernest batchelder created the tiles

using a kiln in his backyard in pasadena, and they were popular during the altadena's architectural boom of the 19 tens and 20s, and unique to the style of the homes built there. they're part of altadena's history, part of its artistic culture, and in pretty much all cases, it's the only thing that survived because they were born in fire and they lived through the fire. and what we found is homeowners want them. they want to save them because it's the only thing that survived. saving the tiles is now working with the support from the altadena historical society, to recover as many fireplace tiles as they can and return them to the homeowners. there are a lot of efforts to preserve the history of altadena. last week we mentioned to you the very first burned down property sold in altadena for $500,000. that's $100,0 over the asking price. there's a group rallying to keep ownership in the hands of the families who have lived in altadena for generations. here's

altadena by providing support and resources. altadena have been here for generations and they've spread. they've shared their generational wealth with each other, and the way to have wealth is with property. and so we're afraid that if they sell their land, they're going to lose their wealth. many are worried investors may be trying to take advantage of them. their main concern is making sure large developers don't come in and build large scale residential projects that are not aligned with the charm and character of altadena. we were getting phone calls almost right away, but we were advised by a lawyer to remind them that it is against the law. do you know if you're going to rebuild? do you want to rebuild? and then when i would answer, they would be like, oh, you know, you don't need to go through the hassle. you can just sell and buy yourself a new home. the group is facilitating ways to work with contractors who will restore the historic architectural style of altadena,
