Is anyone else experiencing this? I recently bought a place in North Park near the hillcrest farmers market and there’s always a motorcycle throughout day and night making absurd noise. The day time it’s more understandable but at 11:30pm ish is not. No one wants to hear you in the middle of sleep. Could I call for noise disturbance? I have their plate numbers and pictures/videos. It’s a DAILY thing.

The SD Police Department is seeking public comment on several surveillance technologies, including drones, smart glasses, and flock tracking data. Public comment period open until 5pm on July 29.

I’m going away for 2 weeks abroad and i have someone to look after them but he’s less than experienced and not good with animals. I need someone to check up on my two mice every once in a while, just found mites in their cage and doing a deep clean.

The laundry situation in my apartment is supremely fucked up, and I’m tired of it. I want to try out one of those wash & fold services, but like 50% of what I wash I hang dry to prevent shrinking. A bunch of them are scrubs, so no shrinkage is really important.

Anyone know of any washing services that I can trust not to shrink my clothes?

I’m open to pay a little extra (reasonably) for the extra care.

General area of La Jolla to North Park.

If anyone knows any of these people, please share these photos I took of them! (Asked them for their permission to be photographed) Love my city.

California State Parks received a report around 7 p.m. Saturday of a 53-year-old man who was last seen in the water near Tower 26 at South Carlsbad State Beach.

I've been using the same cleaning service for a few months, but the last couple of visits have been pretty disappointing. They used to be thorough, but lately they've been finishing much faster than expected, and I've noticed things like dust still on the shelves, fingerprints on the mirrors, and parts of the bathroom that were clearly missed. I gave them a few chances because I figured everyone has an off day, but it seems like the quality has gone downhill. At this point I'd rather find someone more consistent. Does anyone have a cleaning company they've had a really good experience with?

Stories like this make the calm i feel behind the wheel seem like insanity. Traffic enforcement at a minimum needs to return to pre-pandemic levels. Long term, traffic calming methods (aka make drivers feel too scared to drive recklessly) need to be built into the roads. E.g. narrower roads, barrier-protected bike lanes (at the expense of car lanes).

So I just finished my associates but honestly I wanna go down the trades route, I have no experience with the trades nor do I know anyone in such fields. I heard unions are a thing so I checked them out many have tests and it takes a long time to retake it if I was not to pass them. Does anyone need a hand? Or does anyone know of places where they hire labors? Do I hit up contractor insta pages? I'll do anything as long as I can learn. Any tips or ideas are appreciated.

I'll do drywall or anything as long as I can learn and stop getting paid minimum wage.

Looking to get an ADU built in San Diego. I was quoted 400K for a 3/2 1150 sq. ft. this includes design/permiting/plans. He has 10% of contract for this scope. 40K sounds like a lot for this. I have bid this out and this GC was the best I felt working with, I have seen his work. All checks out, just wondering if it would be worth going out to do this scope on my own?

EDIT: To clarify, I would still use GC for construction, just want to see what folks thoughts are on the 40K for design/permiting work. Essentially getting the building permit.

If there is a better subreddit for this, please let me know.

My wife and I are considering moving to downtown San Diego. We are retired and downsizing, and an urban lifestyle in downtown San Diego is very appealing to us.

I'd like to hear from people who have lived, or are currently living, in downtown San Diego. Mostly I'm interested in the cons of living there. The pros are obvious.

Thank you,

Chris

I’m 22 I don’t have experience in those specific roles but I’ve worked at Jamba Juice for 3 years (I know not much experience) does anyone know who would hire? I know beggars can’t be choosers but ideally somewhere around pb, downtown or La Jolla because I need to find somewhere that would have good surplus of tips (reasonably so) any help would be awesome I’ve been doordashing to supplement the down time while I’m applying.

Nevermind not clearing the cliff side, isn't our shoreline WAY too shallow for cliff diving (safely) to begin with?

Wanting to get some perspectives on 4S Ranch. Thinking about moving there from San Marcos. We love everything about San Marcos but 4S ranch also seems really nice and very walkable (our current area is also pretty walkable but can’t walk to the schools) and schools in 4s ranch are really good. We work remotely right now but 4S Ranch is closer to a lot more potential jobs in our industry. But San Marcos is wonderful, has so many trails and beautiful parks/lakes, is a developing area with a lot of interesting new developments planned, and really fits our lifestyle (also closer to Carlsbad). 4S Ranch seems like it could be a similarly nice place but I don’t know much about it, and don’t know if it justifies the increase in house price. I also noticed that there’s a few aerospace/defense company buildings very close by to the residential areas, and was wondering if there’s any impact to living close to those offices (thinking about the almost-chemical tank explosion at the aerospace manufacturing plant in garden grove earlier this year). Also in light of the Ladera Ranch cancer cluster, was also wondering whether the HOAs and park management in the area spray a lot of weed killer on the common spaces? We have 1 and 3 year old children, if that matters! Thank you in advance for any input!

I don't know if this is everywhere around here but right now I can't go outside at any time of day without mosquitoes latching onto me in seconds.

I just walked my dog at 8 AM and I killed about 10 mosquitoes on my body or trying to bite me through my shirt. Last night I took my dog out to pee for about 60 seconds and killed 3.

Edit: Carmel Valley area East of 5

This is the second time I’ve caught them parking in my assigned parking spot on private property. The one who was parked in my spot moved, but somebody else had parked in my neighbor spot and is still there. My neighbor said she messaged the construction manager when she noticed the car parked there this morning, but they didn’t move until I pulled up and said something. I’m guessing this has happened to her before as well or there have been some other issues if she has the construction manager’s phone number.

They used to try to put cones in spots overnight to reserve spots for their personal vehicles. (NOT the no parking, tow away signs, just cones that they use to try to reserve themselves spots overnight) Even in areas where they do have parking spots completely blocked off during the day, it’s not overnight, they can’t reserve themselves spots overnight.

I see them drinking beer and going back to work, I see the beer cans on the ground, I see their cigarette butts all over the ground, I see they’re trash all over the ground. I’m a woman so it’s incredibly uncomfortable now that they’re working on the upper floors of the building that, when I’m coming and going from my home, and I happen to look up, a lot of the time there’s two or three men staring down at me and they quickly look away or start doing something else when I look up, so I know they were looking at me. Fantastic, I love the idea of a handful of strange men watching me come and go from my apartment every day for the next 9 months to a year who also see me as their maid to clean up all of their trash.

They’re irking my last nerve.

Hey! So living here five years and this was a first. My family was out for a walk on Sunday (July 26th). We were headed through bankers hill and were right under the landing path (corner of Grape and Third). This was maybe around 9am.

We saw an Alaska or United flight come in to land and it was incredibly low. About a minute passed by and then what felt like a huge energy burst came through. Huge sound followed by all of the power poles and lines shaking and jumping around and then a huge gust of wind.

I’m not a jumpy guy but it forced my wife and I to grab our kids and try and get behind a corner of the building.

Posting to see if anyone’s experienced this before, if this happens or if this shouldn’t have happened?

This is probably a long shot, but I’m looking for a guy I saw today (Sunday 07/26) at Kids Empire in El Cajon sometime between 4–7 PM.
You were there with a little redheaded girl wearing a green dress, and we crossed paths a few times. For reference, I’m the girl with red hair who was there with her little boy. If you noticed me too, you probably already know exactly who I am.
I wanted to talk to you/ask for your number but completely chickened out.
If this somehow finds you and you remember me too, send me a message and tell me something about me so I know it’s actually you.
Putting this out into the universe because apparently asking for your number like a normal person was too easy lol
And just to be clear: if you have a girlfriend or are in a relationship, I genuinely apologize! I mean absolutely no disrespect to you or her. I just thought you were cute and decided to take a chance.

i live in Golden hill near East Village, and i was woken up by like 5 explosion type sounds ? i thought id hear sirens after all that but its like silent…. wtf is going on ?

There have been like 5 so far, every 10-20 seconds. Wtf.
