illegal fireworks. this year. something they've never seen before. an undercover operation help san francisco officers and cover all of this 69 pounds of illegal fireworks that they found in the mission district officials say that each year fireworks are responsible for millions of dollars in property loss. this morning. we're taking a closer look at those illegal fireworks and what can be done to keep them out of the bay area. kron four's terisa stasio has more. all of this. >> these fireworks exploding in the skies in the east bay on july 4th captured by kron 4 leading to dangerous of fiery embers falling on to people's homes on top roofs or worse burning hands and fingers each and every one of these showy displays. >> illegal. you at least in alameda county. the amount of fireworks are going from one end of the county to the other and it was incredible. it was
6:06 am
it was nothing we've seen before. sergeant ray kelly with the alameda county sheriff's department and bob task force says residents continue to set off fireworks 2 days after the holiday. >> despite several high-profile bust this year for example, on wednesday, the san francisco police department released these photos showing the seizure of 69 pounds. a resident arrested in san mateo, a large cash collected after an undercover bust in walnut creek this fire ignited from fireworks. an explosion at a local apartment complex. several 100 pounds taken in and destroyed it begs the question, where are all of these illegal fireworks coming from and why can't they be stopped. we have nevada next door and a lot of the fireworks are coming from nevada. >> you know, arizona, texas and other western states and so it's a lucrative the reason they come here is because there's a market for supply
6:07 am
and demand. sergeant kelly says battling the illegal sales proves incredibly challenging in. but a lot of our resources were tied up with other issues during covid. crime. and, you know, trying to keep our staffing levels up mandatory overtime and the work schedule that has been put on so we did have a lot of time and resources to dedicate to doing those fireworks operations. some of those that are undercover some of the fireworks that are being offered is so dangerous and others. about the fire danger. so if you're going to do it like be smart about like don't blow yourself up. don't lose a hand or fingers. like we saw in this hockey player that was killed when firework, you know, there we see knows. critical incidents where people are. what starts out as fun ends in tragedy and theresa kron 4 news. >> will san francisco police now are searching for the person or people responsible
6:08 am
for this anti lgbtq graffiti that was spray painted on the side of an apartment building in the castro district. people there could only tell police that an unknown person tag side of the building and have any better description than that. but they say the person tag the building, the plant or nearby. the sidewalk out front. it all happened around midnight on july 6. the case has been handed over now to the department's special investigation division. in the north bay police are asking for more resources now to try and stop sideshows. we saw what happened over the holiday weekend on the streets there with massive sideshows that drew hundreds of people gunshots were heard. illegal fireworks were set off all across various parts of the layer there on the 4th of july and police say they have limited resources to tackle problems when they get to be this scale. they're calling on the city leaders now to help them stop these dangerous events by doing things like drafting new laws that would make spectating at these illegal sideshows also illegal. >> participants or spectators
6:09 am
could face up fines of up to $1000, including jail time of 6 months their vehicles impounded for 30 days. i understand that this is a large part of bay area culture however, you know our position as a police department is to protect and serve. >> well, police department believes that money from the federal government could help to. they say they like to use that money to boost staffing and create a sideshow task force. they also want to set up cameras inside show prone areas to better identify the cars that are involved. >> the future of the a's in oakland continues to hang in the balance. the proposed 12 billion dollars waterfront ballpark at howard terminal is their last best option. >> to stay. >> in the bay area in oakland. that's what the team president dave kaval says. >> but it will ultimately be up to the city council to decide if this project gets the green light negotiations
6:10 am
continue over the project. there are also ongoing biz and proposals for the coliseum site as well, though. >> our existing lease at the coliseum only goes through 2024 we have a situation where the facility is 10 years past its useful life. and we really have an obligation and a responsibility to get some type of resolution on this. so the raiders deal when they came back from los angeles included the city and county paying for the ballpark we're paying for the entire cost of the stadium. the a's are taking the risk. all the onsite risk. >> so he's saying there that, you know, the city sort of has nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving the a's their dream letting them build it. now the city wants the age to commit to a 9 relocation agreement that would remain valid for 45 years. >> said about 20 like maybe we
6:11 am
degree for 20 years, the city council set to vote the project terms. july 20 so listen to all the wrangling back yeah, because oakland doesn't want to lose another team. but it's clear that. last and i can't have been a long list. national. other cities are courting them. so state is it reasonable to assume the 4545 years. you have to promise you're not going so this is yes. is all the stuff that they're trying to deal with. we shall see. again, july 20 the big vote date will keep you covered. >> let's go to the north bay now where new irrigation restrictions have been put into place now adopted by the marin municipal water district summer in county is classified under the exceptional drought category. and you can see in this video. exactly why exceptionally absolutely need these reservoirs like puddles lowest levels. we've seen. >> decades and decades all

6:25 am
the bay area are down about 15 to 20%. and even though they're going up again, it's unclear exactly how high they could go. so far in 2000, 21 rents are up across the bay area compared to last year. san francisco rental prices are up about 5%. san jose is up 3% in oakland is up about 2 and a half percent. what's unclear at this point is how high rents will eventually go we're clearly seeing some growth. jeff andrews is a data journalist with some for dot com which tracks enlist rental properties. >> he expects that rental prices will continue to climb but may not get as high as they were before the pandemic. he says that many people have permanently left the bay area specially tech workers and that they may not return. we're not sure how broadly tech companies are going to top work from home policies. >> and if that is very broad and people don't return to the bay area and the same members that they are and say new york city, we might see the
