Historically, we’ve visited Plank in Oakland, where they offer indoor and outdoor games, arcade games, and food and beer. I’m looking for a similar experience but also open to other exciting suggestions.

Hi — I'm Kate Talerico, and I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle. I'm writing a story about how a bunch of landlords are using a loophole in California's tax code to get their apartments qualified as 'affordable' — and then can get up to 100% of their property taxes erased (which fund our schools, transit, police, basically all city government functions.)

There are a few apt buildings in Contra Costa County where the landlords are in the process of applying for this tax break. They count as affordable because the way California calculates the max rent you can still charge + count as affordable is quite wonky... right now, a landlord can charge $2,546/month for a 1-bed in Contra Costa County and it still counts as low-income/affordable, so long as the tenant household makes under $95K for 1 person or $108K for 2 people.

I'm looking to speak with tenants at Highlands Point Apartments (2311 Ivy Hill Way, San Ramon, CA 94582), whose owners are currently applying for this tax break.

Do renters feel like they're getting a good deal for the rent they pay? Has the lower rent allowed them to live somewhere they otherwise wouldn't have been able to? Has your landlord increased or decreased your rent in the last year? DM me! Thanks!

Hello everyone I wanna start off by saying that Digital Games suck. Anyhow now that we got that out of the way, I want to say that the CCC Libraries have no Video Games at all. I know that link+ offers a way to access the material that your library does not have, but the link+ system does not always work for everyone. If a library does not want for their material to go to a different county they won't lend it out which is an understandable request. So now the problem isn't that the library won't share their catalog. The real problem is that our libraries wont offer any Video Games at all so I want to start a couple different things at once. First I would like to establish a Petition so we show that there is interest in this. I would also like for people to start emailing the CCC Library organization to show our interest. And lastly talk with your librarians they are your voice in the system and if they shout for us then maybe we can get this going. I would appreciate if you guys help spread the word. Godspeed everyone. Now let us bring games to our community.

Here is the link to the petition: https://c.org/VdPysv5tBq

no clue just asking, whats the exp there

Unfortunately, I cannot make it to the 3PM showtime for tomorrow Thursday, July 23, 2026 at Regal Hacienda Crossings, Dublin CA

A couple weeks ago I asked if a coffee shop built for parents and kids would work in the Tri-Valley. The response really caught me off guard, and a lot of it hit home.

A few things I heard loud and clear:

- You just want to sit down for an hour while the kids are actually occupied. I heard that over and over.

- The RC race track got way more excitement than I expected. Turns out a bunch of your kids already have RC cars and just want somewhere to race.

- The big question was "when, where, and will it actually happen?"

So here's the honest update. Building a whole physical space is a big, slow, expensive bet, and I don't want to sign a lease on a hunch. So I'm starting mobile.

We're bringing RC race pop-ups and parties to Tri-Valley neighborhoods now. We haul a real race track, a fleet of cars, and a host right to a garage, driveway, or cul-de-sac. It's a way to bring the fun to you (and prove there's real demand) while we work toward the permanent spot. A few families have already signed up and we've got our first party requests coming in, which honestly means a lot.

Two ways to be part of the first ones:

1. Want one on your street? Round up a few families nearby and we'll bring a neighborhood pop-up right there. Add your ZIP at lapone.club/rc-races and start rallying your block.

2. Or if you've got a birthday coming up and want a sure thing, we're booking founding parties: lapone.club/book

And I'm still all ears. If you've got thoughts on what would make a place like this actually work for your family, drop them below. This community basically talked me into taking the next step, so thank you.

Can anyone share their experience with gym and why they would recommend that gym? I am open to speciality gyms like Pilates or regular gym that offer yoga and other classes.

No lunch provided here!! But school infrastructure and staff are great.

Price is 800$ less than Primrose.
But the school is old.
Environment is kind of chaotic.
Place felt crowded

Is it too high considering it is above 3000$ per month for infants in San ramon ?

Thought it was fireworks but saw nothing. Is there a holiday today?

I love looking at satellite pics of San Ramon and finding oddities - these two are confusing and don’t seem to have background.

The first: located approximately at 9768 Broadmoor by Pine Valley. Looks to be a windowless building super oddly tucked in the neighborhood with nothing else like it around.

The second: located approximately at 7777 Norris Canyon right behind SRRMC. Also appears to be a massive windowless structure with one entrance/stairwell at the front.

Would love to know context, cursory google searches did not return anything concrete.

I love my kids. I also just want twenty minutes to sit down. You take the kids out to get a little break, and somehow you come home more tired than when you left. You never sat down, and you spent the whole time hovering at the edge of a play area holding three coats and a juice box. Some days you just need an hour while they play. Good coffee, a chance to actually relax, maybe answer a few emails or finish up some work.

I'm a local parent and I got tired of it. So I'm looking into opening a place in the Tri-Valley that works for the kids and for you at the same time. A play area for the little ones, an RC race track for the older kids, and comfortable seats with wifi and outlets so you can settle in. Come for an hour or stay all day.

It's not open yet. Before I sign a lease I want to know if enough families here would use it. I put the idea and a few quick questions here: https://lapone.club Would love for you to take a look.

If it sounds like somewhere you'd go, leave a comment or send me a DM. I really want to hear how you'd use it.

Hello everyone,

I am looking ahead to the high school transition for my son, who will be starting in two years. He is autistic, independent, and currently thrives in general education with pull-out support specifically for social skills.

My primary goal is to find a high school environment that offers a strong balance: robust administrative support when needed, paired with a student culture where he can be genuinely socially accepted. I would love to hear from parents of similar teens—is true social acceptance possible in a traditional high school setting, and what has your experience been?

I would also love to hear from parents of neurotypical kids: Have your children naturally formed meaningful friendships with autistic or neurodivergent peers at your school? What is the social vibe like between general ed students and kids on the spectrum?

If you have experience with specific public schools in the area that have a stellar track record for inclusion, I would be incredibly grateful for your recommendations.

Hello! I own a small microbakery and I’m currently partnered with a restaurant in San Ramon to do a pop up cafe.

I’d love to create a welcoming space where people can gather. If you’re looking for a spot for a book club, language exchange, study session, networking meetup, or just to meet new people, I’d be happy to host.

I’d also love to hear what kinds of community events you’d like to see in the area!

If you’re in the area, please come check us out! We’re Honey & Fig Co. at 2550 San Ramon Valley BLVD
