New homeowners in San Francisco's Inner Sunset are trying to figure out what to do next, after a tree came crashing down during this week's storm.
Liz Morrison and Jonathan Hunt just moved into their home with their two toddlers, near the Hidden Garden steps just two weeks ago. The first-time homeowners say this was made possible due to a housing program with the city.
That excitement soon came crashing down. During Wednesday's storm, a tree behind their home fell into their bedroom, while they were inside. The couple called 311 and the fire department to help with removal and were met with a shocking surprise about their land. "They are now telling us it's not their problem because the power line is over there," said Hunt."It's like no one wants to take responsibility for it."
