This $300,000 San Francisco home is a hot sale — but here's the catch
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — How would you like to buy a house in San Francisco for $300,000?
There’s one out there, but it is going to need some work.
It’s on Lowell Street near Morse Street in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood, and it is definitely a fixer-upper. There is no bathroom, kitchen, running water or electricity–and it has heavy fire damage.
But, there’s a good selling point for the property.

“The lot itself is about almost 2,600 square feet. It’s pretty narrow but goes back a ways. So, as it is, the house has a very large backyard. But if you were to knock down the house but could build something within in that whole parcel, you could have a sizeable single family home, or potentially a multi-unit building, according to the listing agent,” said Garrett Leahy with the San Francisco Standard, who covered the story.
One thing that could add to any obstacle: if someone wants to knock it down and start over, they’ll need to get a demolition permit and new plans approved.
Tuesday was the deadline to make an offer.

Atmospheric river forces flight delays, cancelations at SFO
As an atmospheric river makes its way into the Bay Area, flights at San Francisco International Airport have been drastically impacted.
According to Flight Aware, the airport saw more than 430 delays on Wednesday and more than 60 cancellations. With the storm not projected to clear up for a few days, aviation experts said it will impact those beginning their travel for Thanksgiving week.
“If we can’t get out of this weather, which it doesn’t look like we’re going to until sometime next week, all these people could be delayed and probably will be delayed to their destination,” said Mike McCaron, an aviation expert.
Donnie Pascal, who was flying to Florida, and their family had their flight delayed by two hours.
“I got snacks. I got my phone,” Pascal said.
Some passengers went to SFO to find out their flights were canceled.
As the storm progresses, more flights can be impacted, as the FAA continually reviews the number of planes the airport can accept per hour. Then, airlines have to respond accordingly.
McCaron said he recommends that travelers stay in touch with their carrier and check their flight status via an application.
According to the National Weather Service, several inches of rain have already fallen in the North Bay and are expected to spread further south in the region.

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 12 game
Andrew Whitworth helps us break down the latest NFL storylines
Andrew Whitworth stops by to talk all things NFL and tells us about his new partnership with Tide.
Sports Seriously
The Green Bay Packers nearly lost to the Chicago Bears last week, in what would’ve been a massive upset, snapping a 10-game win streak for the cheese heads against their rivals. Now, the San Francisco 49ers are headed to Lambeau, fresh off a last-second defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks.
Neither team played their best in Week 11, but only one of them walked away with a win. That speaks to Green Bay’s persistence. Unlike the 49ers, Green Bay has been able to squeak out close games, where San Francisco crumbles to bits under any sort of pressure. All that is to say that it is a wonder how some people still believe in the 49ers. Perhaps a win over a tough Green Bay squad would restore some faith.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 12 matchup.

Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 24, Packers 21
The Packers, frankly, should’ve lost last week against the Bears. The 49ers are wildly inconsistent, and the defense has had significant struggles this season. Time is running out for San Francisco, however, and the Niners must keep pace in the NFC West.
Tyler Dragon: 49ers 23, Packers 22
The 49ers let one slip away against Seattle last week. At some point, the 49ers have to flip the switch if they want to make another Super Bowl run. A win in Green Bay can catapult the 49ers in what’s been a sluggish 11 weeks.
Richard Morin: Packers 30, 49ers 27
The 49ers have burned me (and a lot of other prognosticators) all season, so I just can’t side with them to win at Lambeau. San Francisco will still be alive in the division race even after a loss.
Jordan Mendoza: 49ers 26, Packers 24
This matchup is tough because of how inconsistent both sides have been this season. Look for Christian McCaffrey to finally break free and come out with a much-needed road victory.

How SF Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie's diverse transition team hopes to lay groundwork for change
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A group of leaders from the tech industry, nonprofit world, and former government officials are hoping their diverse set of experiences will help set up San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie for success before he is sworn into office in January.
On Monday, Lurie announced his new transition team consisting of co-chairs and advisors – with heavy hitters like Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, and former San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White.
Hayes-White told ABC7 News that she is excited about the coalition Lurie was able to put together.
“It’s a great blend of people and I’m sure there will be some pretty interesting exchanges,” she said. “We’ll take direction from the boss, and I’m sure he’ll set out what his goals and priorities are and we’ll fill in the blanks for him and offer recommendations and advice. I think what I bring is a commitment as a lifelong San Franciscan to really getting the city back on track, hitting reset, if you will.”
SF Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie’s new transition team includes OpenAI co-founder, former fire chief
San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie announced his new transition team nearly two weeks after he was elected mayor succeeding Mayor London Breed.
Lurie – who previously founded and ran an anti-poverty nonprofit – said improving public safety will be his number one priority, followed by addressing the behavioral health crisis of the unhoused and revitalizing downtown attractions and business.
With a career in public safety spanning nearly three decades, Hayes-White said she hopes to help Lurie achieve these goals, especially when it comes to addressing the fentanyl epidemic on the streets. The mayor-elect has said that on his first day in office, he will declare a “fentanyl state of emergency.”
“We’ve seen some improvements under Mayor Breed just this last month. I know the fentanyl deaths were down quite significantly, but still way too many. So I think one of the things that we’re really going to look at, and that I’m going to recommend looking at, is this crossover that needs to exist between departments instead of working in a silo,” Hayes-White said. “Take a look at that, those relationships and see if there’s something that we can do a little bit more efficiently.”
VIDEO: Daniel Lurie gives ABC7 1st Bay Area TV interview after becoming SF mayor
San Francisco’s new mayor Daniel Lurie gave ABC7 News the first local TV news interview after winning the mayoral election.
Another co-chair Michael Tubbs, became one of the youngest mayors in the country when he was elected as Stockton’s mayor in 2016. He said it is one of Lurie’s strengths, not weaknesses, that he will be entering City Hall with a fresh perspective as a government outsider. Tubbs said he’ll be encouraging Lurie to question why things operate a certain way and not shy away from seeking innovative solutions.
“I think, in fact, the best leaders are the ones who are the most curious, the ones who are most inquisitive,” Tubbs said. “It’s really a matter of embracing what you don’t know, embracing being new, embracing being able to ask questions, because I think a lot of things people take for granted.”
The team will have its first meeting on Wednesday. There’s no timeline yet of when Lurie’s team will announce full-time senior positions like chief of staff.
