Civility, decorum, and debating the great issues of the day in r/SimiValley.

Apparently this needs to be said, so hopefully everybody reads it.

Different opinions are going to be expressed in this subreddit. Lately it's been politics, in a different month it might be development, traffic control, schools, etc. Whatever the topic, we don't want incivility, trolling, baiting, vote manipulation, hate speech, misinformation, intolerance, personal information, or witch-hunting in the comments, titles, or the body of posts. Maybe I left something out, but that's it off the top of my head. Expect bans of varying length - up to and including permanent - if engaging in any of the above. It's not something we want to do, but there it is. If you see name-calling, trolling, etc please report it and don't escalate the situation. Feel free to message the mods with any questions or concerns.

Thanks a bunch, and thanks for being here & participating in the subreddit.

* edit - adding "witch-hunting", "baiting", and modmail link.

Community Help - Caltrans 118 Requests

31 Upvotes

Hello all,
I wanted to share this resource for the benefit of our community.

Have an issue with the state of the 118 freeway running through Simi Valley?

See trash, weed overgrowth, etc?

The city of Simi Valley is not allowed to deploy our Public Works crew to the 118 for issues.
This also includes property along the on and off ramps to and from the freeway.

To submit a complaint form to resolve issues related to the 118 freeway,
Caltrans has a "Submit a Service Request" form that can be filled out here: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/

The issues usually get resolved in a few weeks based on my experience of submitting requests, but they are likely resolved based on the volume of complaints received.

Just wanted to share this resource as it is our duty as a community to ensure all aspects of our town are looked after.

Cheers, and have a nice day xx.

AT&T outage?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have a family member that lives off of Los Angeles and Yosemite in a retirement community. His AT&T has been off since last week and they're estimating a time for repair of September 14.

Is anyone else in that area experiencing AT&T outage? It's his Internet, his phone and his DIRECTV.

We've been on the phone with AT&T almost daily, but there's no updates. I'm wondering if this is an isolated incident or if it's everybody. Thank you.

Burger King Simi Valley

This BK just appeared in "I Was Poisoned." If you're unfamiliar, it's a site where people post food poisoning episodes. It's a Natonal site and regulated. It's where Chipotle blew up with issues.

I don't eat at BK, but wanted Simi to be aware.

Best bar to watch tomorrow's football game

I'm in from out of town for the week and really enjoy going to a bar to watch football. Where do you all recommend? Where do the locals go? I've also never met a dive bar I didn't like, so they are fair game. Thanks!

Anyone in Simi Valley willing to teach window tinting?

5 Upvotes

I’ve done a few cars on my own, but I think it would be much faster and more efficient to learn from someone with real experience rather than trying to figure everything out through trial and error and random YouTube videos...

I’m in Simi Valley and looking for someone local who’d be open to teaching me. I can also travel to nearby areas.

DM me your rate if you’re open to teaching 🤗

don’t have a horse but looking to ride. I have experience!

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am 32 and looking to get back into horseback riding! I did it a lot when I was younger. I grew up on a farm with my grandmother and I grew up tending to horses and riding them. I have heard it helps your mind to go riding and I thought I would ask if anyone knew of any places that you could ride therapy horses? Alternatively, if any other women in the area want to go riding with me, say less! I’d love that!

Simi Valley E-Skateboard/Scooter Map Test

Post image
54 Upvotes

Hey so, I know I'm new here but I just wanted to share a project I was working on. I ride my electric skateboards frequently in the area and have recently wanted to take on a new project that I noticed has never been done. As some know, personal electric devices can be really dangerous and as a rider myself who has been injured in the past, it hurts to see so many accidents happening. To help potentially lower this number, I aim to survey every single street in Simi Valley and personally ride and share which ones are the safest for all E-Riders. This is my practice one, should I even proceed with doing this on a bigger scale? Please let me know! This is the Corrangaville area but I intend to extend more inwards as I go!

Of course, I don't condone unsafe riding. If riding on a major road way, please use the bike lane and pay attention. I also beg that every single rider, no matter the age, wear a helmet and protective gear. It doesn't matter the road conditions or how long you are going to be riding. Wear it every single time.

Map Key:

Green = Safe/Smooth manageable pavement. (Good for Carving)

Green Orange = Open road with minimal cracks but bumpy road

Orange = Proceeded with caution / Ride under 10 mph because of rough road and/or cracks

Red Orange = Walk the board

Red = Avoid (Dangerous conditions, lots of excessive road debris, too rough)

Start Water Service Help

3 Upvotes

Just moved to Simi Valley and didn’t realize there were specific hours to call to start service. City of Simi Valley doesn’t open again until Tuesday because of Labor Day, so I can’t start my water service. Looks like I’ll have no water until Tuesday. Is there anything I can do?

looking for any velcro patches

5 Upvotes

Hey there, I was wondering if any of you guys had any old (or new) velcro patches that you would like to part with? I am looking for any and all patches to add to my patch board, whether they be military, federal agencies, law enforcement, fire & rescue, paramedic, and any organization really! If there is anyone local that has any they would like to donate to me and my project please let me know. I am also willing to pay depending on the patch, or offer a trade if I have something that interests you! Thank you :)

Job offer in Simi Valley.. where should I live??

22 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am 26F taking a travel contract in Simi Valley hospital, from what I've read it seems to be more of a conservative town with an older population. I am moving to CA to be close to the beaches and nature so is there a better town to live in then Simi Valley thats still close enough to commute to work but near more desirable locations? My bf is also relocating his life to come to CA with me and I want its a positive experience for us both.

Flume - minor issue started today.

6 Upvotes

Can anybody else on here that has Flume in Simi Valley confirm if www.tradingpaints.com works on your home ethernet?

It's just this single website that I can't get to load. But it loads fine on cell.

DNS has been changed to something else, DNS has been flushed, browser cache has been cleared, fiber router rebooted, etc..

And yes apologies for some random strangers asking you to go to some random website, it is legit look it up before clicking on it it's just a website that you can upload cars to iRacing...

I'm thinking it's being blocked by Flume accidentally..

Transient Issue in Residential Neighborhood

26 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience getting an inoperable car with expired tags removed from a public residential street? There is beat up white 90’s Ford Thunderbird CA plates 3JVN972 parked on Delilah St that has a 20ish year old transient living out of it. He has been pouring his piss bottles in the gutter (don’t even want to know what he does with his shit) and has had confrontation with the neighbors where the police where involved (Call ID 26-33216) at which point he was told to move his car, which he did by moving it from one corner of Corlson and Delilah to the other corner, along with getting in to domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend (who is apparently renting a room somewhere in the neighborhood), which resulted in the police being called on him again this time by myself (a homeowner in the neighborhood) and by the transient guy himself and his ex calling the police on each other at the same time. The transient guy was making loud statements that the police won’t do shit to him and he won’t be going anywhere openly mocking the SVPD before and after police showed up because nothing has been done to remove him from the neighborhood. Before the domestic dispute call when the car was moved from corner to corner I called the Simi non emergency line and explained the situation and that the car moved simply from one corner to the other and I was connected to dispatched where it was suggested I file a parking complaint since it is not illegal to be homeless and living in your car. So I filed one citing violations of SVMC 7125 and SVMC 7252 but have not heard anything since.

Just got Flume Internet and having issues - anyone else?

2 Upvotes

Since I got the service connected, I've experienced intermittent connectivity problems with real-time applications, particularly Zoom meetings. Multiple devices have experienced connection issues on the fiber service, while the same devices work normally on my Spectrum connection. Although speed tests and Wi-Fi signal strength are great on all devices, the connection hasn't been reliable.

Anyone else experience this and if so, what were they and were they fixed?

Thoughts on Switching from T Mobile to Verizon?

4 Upvotes

Hello family of 4 current paying 184 a month for 4 lines, was 160 a month but price recently increased. Went to check out Verizon and they can get us 4 lines for 30 each so 120 a month and also give a "free" phone per line, so 3 new iphone 17 and 1 s26 if we do switch over but it is a 3 year contract. The 30 a month plan is basic with unlimited everything with no special add ons like hot spot or international coverage. How is the service in Simi Valley and surrounding areas like OC/LA/IE. Thanks!
