i'm making it happen. >> why night life is a big part to breathe new life into downtown san francisco. plus, it's the beginning of the end to a's in oakland as we count down to the final end of the coliseum. how did a multi-million dollar mansion in one of the most neighborhoods on earth end like this one? considering the worst scenario for your afternoon hike. find out what happened to this guy after he slid down a mountain side. hello, i'm sara donchey. a lot has been said about downtown san francisco. people feel it's dead there, it's deserted, unsafe. and with so many vacant offices, it does feel it has had lost some of its life it had a few years ago. but you wouldn't know it tonight, at least in pockets of

downtown, things were lively and happy. this is what it sounded like on a busy friday night. [ cheering ] ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> all right, we showed it to you. it was so busy that it was probably hard to pick for people who wanted to have a good time. snack time in portugal. the man put on a huge show. oh, it was free. that's all part of the city's big push to get people back downtown. andrea nakano spoke to the visitor and the downtown mayor about the downtown turnaround. >> reporter: a lot of money

knee events going on. portugal, the man, is performing. the best part about this concert, it's free. that means people are spending much elsewhere, bringing much needed life back to san francisco. a long list of events if san francisco from the portugal, the man, concert with snack day, green day performing at oracle park. oktoberfest on front street, and even greek fest in the mission. these events drew not only locals, but others from the entire bay area and beyond. >> also there is a lot for the city to give to people. to take that opportunity and do something with it. >> reporter: vanessa and her boyfriend, dominic, didn't feel unsafe at all as they made their way to the concert. in fact they were impressed with how alive the city felt on a friday night. >> you know, coming out to this

area five, ten years ago, definitely seemed a lot more sketchy and dicey. seeing all these people here, just having a good time, having a safe time. it's definitely refreshing to see. >> reporter: mayor london breed was also enjoying many of the events as she mingled with a crowd at oktoberfest. she said change needs to happen to city hall to bring events back. >> san francisco has to become a city of yes. notoriously for being a city of no, you can't do something. >> reporter: and planning to bring several concerts to the city. city leaders are trying to change perception of downtown. mayor breed believes the city needs to invest in itself to bring people back. >> reporter: we're making it so much fun, with our money is where our mouths are at.

>> reporter: increasing nighttime foot traffic. during the day, it's been a struggle to bring office workers back. office vacancy numbers are at an all-time high, expected to go up this year. that's according to a commercial real estate service group. restaurants like ciao pascal are seeing the difference these companies are making firsthand. it was packed with wait times of an hour. >> it's been really nice. the civic center shows us more. >> reporter: we came here with the intentions of checking everything out. we'll obviously but the these areas in the area. >> reporter: they see the positive changes in the city. they feel these events are helping to erase the city's negative image. >> you, on a friday, would certainly not see even like 20% of this group roaming around here. so it is encouraging people to get out and about and

explore the city. okay, we're heading into the weekend, finally. are we allowed to say that? we are now. our mount diablo camera captured a deep orange sunset tonight. very pretty, paul. we sped it up into this time lapse. felt like fall this week, but sounds like we're heading into a warm up? >> right. this is the last final weekend of summer. fog has wall load up downtown san francisco over the past several hours. this is the view from salesforce tower. a little artistic shot. and temperatures today, topped out a little bit closer to average into the mid-80s for inland parts of the east bay. only 65 degrees in san francisco. but temperatures around the bay and along the coast will return to near average tomorrow. inland, about 3 to 5 degrees above normal. mostly 80s, but some of the

warmer spots getting up to 90 degrees. the heat risk today in antioch and brightwood, it means we're getting into the low end of the not grate weather, that there will be hotter spots in the bay area. the irony is it coincides with the beginning of autumn, which officially arrives sunday morning. that's when inland temperatures by sunday afternoon are going to get back into the 90s with the real noticeable change. we will lose two and a half minutes of daylight each day over the course of four to five weeks, guys? >> oh man, the hits keep on coming. >> you're welcome. well, most of us are focused on the relief of the weekend ahead. it is still a

little bittersweet with a's fan. the countdown to the final out at the sol coliseum. the whole season has felt like the beginning of the end for the a's. it really sunk in tonight for the fans. marking the beginning of their final homestand at the coliseum. a's hosting the new york yankees for two more games this weekend. they're off on monday. then they begin their final three-game series in oakland against the rangers before they finish this season out in seattle. as for what's next? major league baseball? they want their new stadium built in las vegas. of course, all the concerns over player safety due to the weather and the turf, whether or not that minor league facility could host a major league team. but the league still will move in

that direction. it's definitely a sad night in oakland, and it will be a tough week for so many fans going to such a historic place to watch baseball. jeffrey schaub has other anyone who has lived in the bay area for a long time such as yourself. you have memories going to the coliseum. and despite the state that the coliseum sits in now, it's not the west because of how ownership just sort of whipped aside. it's sad for fans. >> it is a sad time, a sad week ahead. matt, thank you so much. this was suppose to be the opening weekend for the san francisco symphony as well, but the first concert of the season was canceled with just hours notice. over 100 musicians walked off the job and took to the picket lines. what they are demanding once again. >> reporter: the san francisco

symphony is off to a rocky start this season. musicians, patrons, looking forward to the performances of the party's reck yum. the three-day performances were canceled as symphony chorus had a strike demanding better wages. >> whenever a cut needs to happen, we are always the lowest hanging fruit. we support cousins who gets left out. he >> we are fed scraps if that. >> reporter: negotiations have been ongoing for over two years. both sides agreed before the 2023 season to freeze wages. that means no raise and no reduction. then talks turned this year. >> the first raise they gave us

was a reduction in programming. >> reporter: after back and forth, the symphony offered to hold with current wages, which is with a led to the strike. >> if it will be undervalued and insulted. it's heartbreaking. >> reporter: the rest of the members are volunteers. the symphony pays $22,000 for those 32 chorusser. those members are under a separate contract. >> reporter: the orchestra's concert expires in may. we expect focus will be on them. >> reporter: elliott has been with the course for 11 years.

now >> our administration doesn't seem to be suffering. >> reporter: this are events planned for the rest of the season, but the future is unknown. the san francisco symphony released a statement saying in part, "our offer to maintain current wage levels reflects our commitment to the chorus, especially or network this organization is seeing multiple areas that will make had the ends meet. >> it's a job and a difficult one and a difficult one to maintain, and it needs to be valued. >> reporter: tickets will be refunded for the canceled concerts. the next performances are set for november. as of now, those shows are still on the calendar. okay, you would think a multi-million dollar home in one of the most famous neighborhoods in the world would be in better shape. i feel they will start showing up. >> how this mansion ended up

leaking gas, and it's the biggest eyesore on the block. chief meteorologist paul heggen is the newest dog lover. not on a hike though. the mountains, yeah. took out the best some say it's impossible to fix san francisco. they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org

a mansion from the hollywood hills turned the pristine hillside home into something that looks like a frat house after seeing too many ragers. it's not just an eyesore, neighbors are worried it is kind of a ticking time bomb. jasmine deal has more on how it ended up like this. >> what a mess. >> reporter: it is a mess. this abandoned mansion in the hollywood hills is a target for taggers. >> i feel people started showing up. >> reporter: cell phone video shows at least one vandal at work spray painting the walls of the home off the drive. fed up neighbors say this house has been vacant for years and falling into disrepair. >> reporter: a few squatters have made a few homes here and very recently you can see the tagging that has been done. >> and there were gas leaks. and then they built the wall.

it's obviously something that kept breaking in. >> reporter: the lapd responded to six calls just this past week for tagging and trespassing. property records show the owner john powers, a middle producer. his father is the owner of the philadelphia baseball team, reportedly owned this abandoned mansion on sunset plaza drive, which has also been overrun by squatters. we would try contacting him with no luck. >> he has more than enough money to take care of it. so we are not sure why. >> reporter: this house is just torn up. the front door just completely gone. you can see here the electricity is just off. now the department of building and safety and the city says work has been underway here. they are now trying since early this morning to come in, drain the pool, paint the house, and somehow fix the fencing. >> getting the things safe, so that we don't have to worry constantly about someone setting the place on fire. >> l.a. city council member says orders from the city have been ignored and a lean was

issued against this house. and for the surrounding community, and the property owners like the ones at 7575 drive must take accountability for their property or face action from the city. neighbors hope that is true as they are even willing to buy the property themselves. >> that is a nice option. >> can you imagine just buying your neighbors out? >> yeah. >> well, you are still here because you cannot do that. >> nope. >> it is weather and puts in an extra spring in our step. plus it's the weekend. we are getting into a drier and warmer pattern. the reason is the big blue h on our feet. it's high pressure in the upper levels.

just a hill of air that will be staying just off the coast. the position of this is such that it can result in gusty offshore winds if it was a little closer to the shoreline. but it's mainly going to maintain their position, which means light offshore winds are the most likely scenario as we head through the weekend into early next week. enough to push some slightly warmer air towards the coast, but not enough to significantly boost the fire threat or push any air down the coast. you can be thankful for that. we are talking about something that's in the future. at the moment, we still have quite a bit of fog out there. the fog has kind of parted around the top of the salesforce tower. but it is still thick around for the mark hopkins hotel. temperatures right now, a mix of 50s and 60s, not a whole lot of variation. and the cool spot, 61 degrees, the least cool location in san jose and in concourse. everybody will end up in the 50s. the fog will be

widespread despite that trend. and let's track that fog as we head through the rest of tonight. 7:00 tomorrow morning, then you can see the fog making a big push into the inland valleys. it is a more compressed marine layer thanks to the weather on top of us. still deep enough surrounding the bay and make its way into the interior valleys. it won't take too long for the fog to dissipate as we would simulate the fog 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. backing up to the coast with the channel of fog reaching the golden gate and even partial clearing will allow temperatures to warm up a little bit more than the past couple of days. and returning to 70 in san francisco in the mid-70s in oakland. temperatures in the santa clara valley returning to a few degrees above average. with the hottest temperatures as usual, east of the oakland hills within a degree or two of either side there. it's hot. it's not out of control hot. just about three to four degrees above normal. temperatures in the north bay are making their way up into the low to mid-80s with some of

the hotter spots inland. let's take those numbers off because a lot of people are looking at those numbers. representing tomorrow's temperatures with colors instead. the warmest temperatures representing in orange. even some green along the coast indicating cool temperatures. look what happens by pond. oh, the map looks a lot ackier with a lot of red, even deeper maroon color indicating higher heat risk values that will be on the map for early next week. monday looks like the hottest day. let's take a look at that forecast and how hot is hot? well, some of the warmer spots are approaching 80 degrees. while it will be closer through the rest of next week, we will be running a few degrees above average to finish the entire month of september and head into early october. even the first week of october looks like it will be a little bit above normal for those daily high temperatures. around the bay, a couple of lower 80s.

inland will still be warm. as sara tried to crash the coast there, now you can come in for wednesday, thursday, and again on friday. >> didn't want to block that thing. before you go, i want to talk about your new family member. >> yes. >> we are not talking about the human kind, which is fine. this is a furry friend? >> it is a little furry friend we adopted this week. say hello to leo. this is leo, he's the pup. on the left is my wife, rachel. we adopted him on tuesday. he's a rescue from underdog rescue. and we were kind of waiting for a new dog to capture our attention, and he's it. always want to encourage people to adopt, don't shop. we feature dogs on the dog walking fork. there is our friend's dog in the distance, good enough to socialize them a little bit. >> this is a big deal because not a lot of people know you

lost your dogs. >> within two weeks of each other. >> yes. and after you play that hard, you have to sneeze. >> yes. so if you're in the market for an adoptable pup, we will share them on social media. >> there are others. it is important to note we hear the same message from animal shelters around the bay area, all bursting at the seems. they're always looking for new pet parents. it's not even halloween yet, but the san francisco spca will bring back their window display at macy's union square. thank you. from the cutest animals alive to really bad injury news for the niners as they try to take down a division rival on sunday. and plus a sad night in oakland. the end is near for the a's. that's coming up in sports.

oh, the niners have been dealt kind of a bad hand. >> tell me about it. it wasn't great. they were shorthanded. christian mccaffrey on the i.r., and deebo samuels with a calf injury out for the next

two weeks. as we get closer to game day, that injury report keeps growing for the red and gold. after missing practice on thursday and friday. guess what? tight end george kittle is now doubtful on sunday with a hamstring injury. then you've got nick bosa and ward, surely they're okay, right? wrong. they are questionable. deebo samuels and christian mccaffrey out. that's five all pros on the injured list. healthy all pro, trent williams, he's still standing upright. he says it is next man up. >> it sucks, you know, those guys are the best in the world. but who really feels sorry for us? this is when opportunities present themselves. february would have known jordan, you know, a couple guys that didn't go down. guys need to be ready to step up and relish in the moment. so nice job,

trent williams. oakland a's, they won't be called that for too long. friday marked the final home game. they have played in that historic stadium since 1968. they will call it quits next thursday. the a's legend, oakland native. who better to do this, catching the first pitch from his daughter, adrianna. awesome moment for the fans. we pick this thing up in the ninth. tied up at one. the new york starter, gerrit cole, still on the mound. he gets lawrence butler, the hottest hitter in baseball down on strikes. his seventh of the night. cole allowed just one run in nine innings. games went to extras in the top of the tenth. now 2-1 yankees. and i don't know, but he doubles here. oswaldo cabrera scores. new york scored three in the tenth. they win the opening game of oakland's final homestand 4-2. giants in kansas city, and i can speak from experience here. they will be eating good barbecue this weekend. the top of the sixth, patrick bailey,

two out single into right field. elliott ramos is going to turn away a run shy of the cycle, making it 2-0 san francisco. the bottom of the ninth now, back on the bump. royals had runners at second and third, but he gets tommy pham swinging in the game. giants win 2-1. they have won three out of their last four games. to college football, stanford making the cross country trip to syracuse for their first ever acc game. a little over three minutes left here. kyle mccord hits jackson meeks for a 13-yard touchdown. syracuse who trailed by ten in the third quarter takes a 24-23 lead. final chance here for stanford. ashton daniels to star alec. puts them in field goal range. sets it up for kenney and he drills it as time expires. stanford makes nearly 3,000 mile trip and they win

their acc opener, 26-24. it was an exciting night in college football here. sparty still battling against washington state. they are, at this point, double or triple overtime. tomorrow, gets even better. it's double overtime for that game. cal bears have a massive game at 4:00 p.m. with a win. cal would advance to 4-0 for the first time since 2019. they have not played in the state of florida in a very long time, their first game in the acc. exciting stuff, weird stuff, not here in the pac-12. >> yes, i've been hearing complaints about that for some time now. not that i understand it. >> as a pac-12 alum, yes, it's exciting. >> okay, thank you. barely pooling with the fantasy team. don't get me started on college. coming up, if you're afraid of heights, this next

story will not help you. how a hiker survived a horrible fall on the cliff side. okay, we have a lot of hiking fans here in the bay area. >> yes, i love hiking. i'm not an active person. >> i don't see you out on the trails ever. >> just shooting threes, that's it. for those of us who do not participate in hiking,

we worry about things like this. 42-year-old hiker, ying may was hiking in china when he slipped on a wet spot and fell for a long time. there he goes, there he goes. luckily he broke his fall on some brush down the hillside. even though this looks terrible, the only thing that really happened to him, he says, minor scrapes and bruises. he's not giving up hiking. that's crazy. >> that -- >> reporter: that's a very long fall and minor cuts and scrapes. >> what about the guy with him? and he's like see ya, my buddy is dead now. >>
