- Bay Bridge traffic delays would more than double during peak hours
- Caldecott tunnel traffic delays would more than triple during peak hours
- Transit cuts could cost riders who switch to driving about $3,280 more/year in transportation expenses
- That’s 40 times the estimated annual cost of the measure for households earning 80% of the median income

Feeling sad to lose these places and wondering if maybe I don’t have my finger on the pulse anymore? I used to go to Oakland secret as well and looks like they are on hiatus too. What venues are good for shows like this now?

Feta is a loving, cuddly, goofy, curious, and happy ~15-month, pitbull mix weighing 60 pounds. He greets you in the morning with full body wiggles that are impossible to not be delighted by.

He’s potty-trained, walks well on leash (checks in often), has good recall off leash, and knows basic commands (sit, stay, paw, leave it). Very food motivated, eager to learn new training.

He’s happiest being with his people, playing with another dog, or quietly resting and chewing on a sturdy toy. Feta has done well in our home matching the play style of our older, dominant female pity and also did well in his foster home with another older, dominant female pitbull.

We’re heartbroken to have to re-home him but our older dog is too dominant to have another dog in our home.

- Can be cautious of strangers. He needs a little time to warm up to new people. Has prey drive with cats. Hasn’t been around young children. Absolutely loves to cuddle.

- Comes with a bed, leash, collar, pinch collar, electric collar for training, toys.

If you or anybody you know wants to find out more about him, take a look at our AdoptAPet page or reach out to me through direct messages :)

Looking for Googleplex East on Nov 19

I already made a post about this but decided to make a video to somewhat show his personality. Feta is an incredible dog and I love him very much.

A record-breaking 91.6% of San Francisco homes sold above their asking price last month, driven by low inventory and intense competition in the luxury market. Single-family home prices rose 17% year-over-year to a median of $2.05 million, while the condo market also showed a modest recovery and faster turnover, according to Compass chief economist Mike Simonsen.

In the Bay Area, schools saw a smaller improvement, but higher scores than the state’s average. San Jose Unified saw slight gains in English, with a 0.72 percentage point increase to 50.5% of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations and a 0.3 percentage point jump in math to 42.2% of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations.

At least the good news is that NEW PEOPLE in Japantown (the parent organization that used to run the festival) are starting to put up new events like the Godzilla 70th anniversary one last December, as well as the movie nights with Roxie Theater. It now has a relatively new coffee shop that replaced the previous British tea place, and Animate USA is now doing monthly collab pop-ups there such as the Alien Stage one last month, and currently they are doing a Persona 30th anniversary collab event for this month.

I have a friend coming to town and we always tried to find the best cookies in a city when we traveled to a new place. In SF, that place was Jane but I haven’t found a good bakery here.. It can have any type of cookie but chocolate chip is preferred. Brownie points if it has good brownies and other pastries.

(Looking for a place on the peninsula but if you have other recs, I’m not opposed to hearing them for another time🙃)

I apologize if this isn’t an allowed topic, but I couldn’t think of a better sub.

I have five binders I got from GC2B before their quality went to shit and would love to be able to try some on in a store.

(They served me valiantly and will be remembered lovingly)

Barring that, a recommendation from a human of a favored binder website is good too.

EDIT: Y’all I am going to cry you all have been so warm and so welcoming, I never expected people to outright offer to hand me binders???? I love this community, y’all are incredible thank you.

Are there restaurants that have unlimited dosa, idli, vada, pongal ?

I heard there are some live dosa counters but didn't find any.
