department. he says the minimum wage increase is needed. there's a big problem with recruiting and retaining some health care workers. >> they're also doing it to try to make sure that we actually have the health care workers that we need now, and that we're going to desperately need in the future. >> in april, the state boosted the minimum wage up to $20 an hour for fast food workers. the owner of this mcdonald's at stonestown galleria says he made a gut wrenching decision to close this past weekend because of two reasons a disagreement on a lease term with the building's landlord and then the rising costs of running the restaurant, including the new state mandated $20 an hour minimum wage for fast food workers. chris thornberg is the founder of beacon economics. >> when you raise the minimum wage, that either has to come out of the, the, the manager or the owners pocket, or it gets passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher price. >> we're starting to see the impacts of higher minimum wages. thornberg believes there will be fewer restaurants. people will

pay higher prices. and in the case of 16 to 19 year olds, unemployment rates have increased. others say better wages are a must for people who serve and care for us, and the wage increases will pave the way for changes in other states and industries. in san francisco. suzanne phan abc seven news. >> if you want to know what other state laws are taking effect tomorrow, we have you covered. we put a list together that you can read and share. it's online abc seven news dot com. new developments about the san francisco home on russian hill that was on the market for $488,000, the chronicle reports. the sale of the three bedroom house is now pending, with an offer being accepted. the home went viral for the low price, but with one big catch, the buyer would have to wait 30 years to move. in the chronicle reports that that no longer applies the trustee of the home told the paper that he accepted an asking price offer from his sister. she lives in the house

said. >> the plan is to have this on july 4th next year, and on the peninsula. people were out buying fireworks in pacifica ahead of the holiday. that's one of the few places in the bay area where you can legally purchase them. san bruno, dublin, union city and gilroy also legally sell so-called safe and sane fireworks. so far, sales in pacifica are going strong. >> our biggest sales right now is the atomic salsa we have. these have been going off the shelves, flying off the shelves. i've had to restock them like four times already. >> and the sale was an annual fundraiser for the pacifica sirens girls softball league. fire officials are urging people who buy safe and sane fireworks to be cautious while they're celebrating not only for personal safety but also the high risk of fire danger. and of course, we know we're expecting some hot temperatures, so that's another thing to keep in mind. and a lot of you are getting ready for big pride weekend. so if you're getting ready to head out the door soon, lisa, what do

they need to know as far as the weather today? >> it's a little cool to start this morning, but temperatures are going to be very pleasant near average. the winds are going to kick up northwesterly winds to west. winds in the city, and that's going to allow for a pretty good sea breeze throughout the afternoon. we are expecting the fog to come back for another day before things really switch around to a northerly gradient, and that will allow for a warming and drying trend in fact, we're looking at elevated fire danger and a long stretch of hot weather that's going to take us into the work week. and it could even last into next weekend. live doppler seven a little disturbance offshore and that is allowing for the fog to really stay put this morning. no fog at all here. the golden gate bridge just gorgeous. and you'll notice a bit of a breeze out there. a current numbers are comfortable and in fact a little chilly along the shoreline with 50 two half moon bay 57 in san francisco were 62. oakland 63 in hayward and 66 in san jose. and another vantage point here from our exploratorium camera, where we are 72, in santa rosa. that's

because of a breezy wind that just kept the temperature up all night long. compare that to petaluma, 5754 in napa and 63 in fairfield. so air quality may have noticed out there. pretty hazy right now. it will improve throughout the day today. today will be our last day with all the greens on the map. the good air quality because we'll get into moderate air quality as the temperatures rise, the winds shift to a northerly component and a high pressure begins to build in over the region. so sunny and mild in san francisco. gorgeous day today for the parade. heat wave this week with our excessive heat warning and our heat advisory closer to the bay shore. this would take us through the entire workweek. temperatures not only over 100 degrees, over 105 up to 110. in some locations. here's a look at the winds that will get gusty in the afternoon. notice right now they're still a little bit breezy, but by about 5 or 6:00 we're 30 to over 40 miles an hour from point reyes to half moon bay and a good breeze over

20 miles an hour inside the bay. so they'll dial back and won't be as gusty into your monday, but they'll still will be a sea breeze. and that's why the city and right along the coast, we're not in any advisories for the upcoming workweek. this is tuesday. the hottest day is probably going to be tuesday and or wednesday, depending on where you are. you see, you are seeing that right up to 109 and 110 from antioch and fairfield, over 100 degrees, northern sonoma and northern napa will see some extremely hot conditions and you'll notice 107 in livermore on thursday the fourth. as we get into friday, it's almost as hot inland, maybe a few degrees cooler around the bay. the accuweather seven day forecast up after looking at the highs today, today is going to seem like the nicest day, right? with upper 70s oakland, mid 90s in santa rosa because as we go through the next several days, we'll come up dramatically a few degrees tomorrow. but look at tuesday, that's a 5 to 10 degree jump, and then we stay there

street was once the dividing line between the financial district and union square, so office spaces stayed confined to that side of kearny. basically preventing them from entering union square. >> we wanted, i think, as a city, to really protect union square because it represented a global enterprise. >> but everyone knows a business district has to evolve to thrive , and it took the city decades to finally own up to that. >> the idea that a flagship store needs two stories, you know, maybe even three, is very much outdated. >> larissa ortiz, a former new york city planning commissioner, was called in to help understand what was keeping union square from succeeding. >> we uncovered that some of the zoning codes were really a bit antiquated. they were legacy codes for a time. you know, that no longer existed. >> so in the past, the old zoning laws determined that a

landlord with three leasable floors could only rent that space to one company. >> you needed three levels of retail or whatever it was. and so why not get, you know, do away with that and instead create flexibility and say, what is it that you want to do? i just want this on the first floor and maybe something else on the second floor and maybe something different on the third, or i just want the first. excellent. let's make that work for you both. >> mayor london breed and supervisor aaron peskin came up with the legislation to change the zoning laws here, which the board of supervisors then approved a year ago. how many businesses do you have on the books? yeah, so i think that take advantage of these new zoning laws we're hearing, which we weren't hearing last year, you know, wow, the tours are picking up. >> people are interested, they're sniffing around. they want to know what what they can do here. and apparently they're getting some some deals done right from deal making to opening can be a year. it could be two years, right? takes time.

>> so we really don't know how many businesses have taken advantage of the code changes. we know they work to make. new york city's wall street financial area facing a massive exodus following nine over 11, the city allowed for a radical change from office only spaces to residential and new businesses, which today has led to a thriving neighborhood. part of the revitalization of union square will depend on voters approving a bond measure, part of it going towards the powell street improvement plan. powell street, with its cable cars, have long been the gateway to union square. i really think with focus attention, the right investment, union square can be back in a year and a half. >> we will see it in san francisco. >> leon melendez, abc seven news. >> in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, expect an extra busy san francisco today. thousands are expected to take part in the pride parade. organizers weigh in on how to celebrate

anticipating a partnership with the federal government. >> that partnership would be $6.2 billion in federal funding, or 49.4% of the project's cost. vta will own the facilities, and bart will operate and maintain it. >> the county of santa clara, vta and the residents here have both raised local money and gotten matches to bring us to over $6 billion. we're bringing to the project locally, and we need the federal government to do their part to make sure that these shovel ready jobs keep moving while we get this project built. >> local labor unions say thousands of workers are ready to take on those jobs. >> let me just tell you that without this funding, this project may be delayed. and delayed means possible cancellation because every year cost escalation with construction would just add more cost to this project. and so if this project doesn't get the funding now, that means those 75,000 jobs that we talked about are possibly off the table entirely. >> the vta project is competing

with other transportation projects in the country for the federal funding. the project had already seen delays and the costs go up. all of this as bart expects to run out of $1.9 billion in federal and state assistance by april of 2026. still, chavez said the project is worth the federal government's investment because of the local investment. like the unions representing workers, chavez said she's also concerned about what happens if the federal government does not grant the funding. >> we can't go back and tax our our folks again. they've given an awful lot. so we're really limited and where we can get funds. >> chavez said the federal government will let vta know sometime in the next 20 days as to what their recommended contribution will be in santa clara county. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, now let's get a check of your forecast with lisa. good morning lisa. hey, good morning, 57 san francisco. >> it is 62, in oakland. and we're looking at sunny skies and 66 in san jose. but look at alcatraz bathed in sunshine this morning. the fog is down the coast in santa cruz. it will
