that looks like fall in haight-ashbury district. what we are definitely looking at one of those days today that's bringing the sunshine. but you know how it is sometimes those sunny days can be the chris been brisk winds, golden gate bridge. one of those areas that saw some really strong winds last night, 40 to 50 mile per hour gusts as relaxed a little bit. now we did see showers over the weekend, not as much for the bay as the surrounding region, though, specially the central coast up into the central sierra. these areas quite a lot of precip and will again with our next system that is going to have that exact same nature as the previous one. that means a little less for us in the bay and more for neighbors that actually really need that rain further to the south winds days. the one to watch this one is going to be bringing some pretty solid showers down along the central coast up into the sierra specially south of tahoe. all in all, you can see the bay-area going to be missing out on a direct hit of moisture here. that means our

what a time on this day. 57 years ago, people gathered for the haight street fair and the city's haight ashbury neighborhood. >> 4 blocks were blocked off to traffic from the sonic. >> 2 straighter. >> thousands of people attended. look at that hanging out, dancing, grateful dead were playing. >> some people watch from rooftops of nearby homes. this is during the height of the hippie culture movement in the 60's. the neighborhood was a hot spots, certainly for hippies artists and musicians to meet up and hang out part of history, right? yeah. guess what you would say is grooming and rivian for sure. that's it for kron. 4 news at 5. thanks for being with us. coming up on kron, news at 6 vandals break in trash. >> a north bay school. the damage so bad that the school actually had to cancel classes and that left hundreds of families scrambling and fire stations in oakland originally set to close will now be staying open. we're told after the city council found some new money. right now at 6, 0, worries rising tonight about how federal funding cuts could affect access to hiv care all over the count

i'm also an active member of my neighborhood association the haight-ashbury neighborhood council, the united democratic club and i'm a regular attendee of meetings here at city hall and want to make it a priority to learn as much as i can so i bring back valuable insights to the groups i'm involved with and readers of my blog. i have more here on the ordinance. >> san francisco shines the way with its sunshine ordinance which both implements and expands on the california public records act and the brown act. >> it's not to say we have a perfect system the law was last minute by voters in 1999 so there is room for improvement to help our city shine brighter. there are reforms that we can and likely should undertake to make the system more efficient, less burdensome on city staff and more accountable to the people. should i have the privilege of being appointed to the task force? i look forward to working with the other members of the task force to advise the board of supervisors and city bodies on the sunshine ordinances implementation and on amendments to this ordinance. i believe on

in 1968, people were gathering for the haight street fair in the city's haight ashbury neighborhood ands were blocked off to traffic scott masonic to schrader street. thousands of people. they're hanging out dancing to the grateful dead. some even watching from the rooftops of nearby apartments. this was during the height of the hippie culture movement in the 60's, the neighborhood being a popular spot for, you know, artists and musicians, hippies to all meet up there. >> what a time san francisco. you a live look here at the city of san francisco on a monday. we're kicking off another i was here to talk to us about what's going on the you watch a few documentaries about san francisco and you realize we missed some things. >> we missed some of the banks. let's take a live look out at san jose right now. we've got some blue skies, but also a few clouds out there. >> and we are going to see those clouds thicken up as we get into the afternoon and evening east bay, low things looking pretty good. we're at 59 degrees in oakland's obviously a little cooler than we were last week. west wester

can be okay for a little while, but when you when you stay on the street long, it grabs in the haight-ashbury district of san francisco hippie sector. there's most of the really hardcore homeless folks are middle aged guys with some women as well. but who are alcoholics. it's an interesting sector of that population and when they run into the young kids and start getting into. where they want to find some version of the sixties and be free and sleep in the park, they say, if you want to look like me in about 20 years, right, get off the street. it's it no one wants to sleep face down in the dirt and that's something that became clear to me. and that's so i have that conversation and i let them know i care. i talk with me about how you got here and and what you want to do with your life. and then that's and then i get interest. yeah. it's such an important point because you, you hear so often people don't want help or. they will refuse it being they want to stay outside. and i feel like that often becomes an excuse for for not doing more or we need to, you know, involuntary commitment or other

planning is up zoning haight-ashbury, the lower haight, ocean avenue, the castro and every single parcel and the post triangle and much more. >> i live in an edwardian building from the 1880s and most triangle why would that parcel be up zone unless the planning department is inviting developers to demolish the building, build a tower in its place? the planning staff person that said the planning department does not have staff and capabilities to go parcel by parcel with regard to zoning or intend to set up zone everything and elevate the historic status of selected buildings. that comment does not make any sense. number one elevating historic status buildings is much more labor intensive than just leaving parcels out of zoning plan to begin with. number two just because a building is designated as historic doesn't mean the building is protected from nimby developers and billionaires. the historic mccloskey building at 1687 market street is slated for demolition by developer randall klein and billionaire mary minor. and number three it's really easy and not all time consuming to go parce

i'm on the board of the haight-ashbury neighborhood council. i'm going to speak briefly on behalf of the board in recognition of the passage of bro both prop c and the rejection of prop d last november. >> clearly your constituents want to see less mayoral overreach and more accountability and independence on our commissions which is how our city charter is designed. >> clearly we recognize also the incredible work that mr. carter opus stone has done his diligence, his dedication, his not worrying about who's who appointed him but what was the right thing. working very successfully in a collaborative manner with individuals and different departments in the city. it makes absolutely no sense to remove him at this time. the mayor did not give him any courtesy at all to meet with him or explain in detail why this is going on. so first of all, i want to say thank you, commissioner, for all of your incredible work and just on a final note, i feel this is an embarrassment we're having this going on right now. an incredible waste of time considering a
