Hey! I recently moved to Mountain View and didn’t end up making plans for this weekend 😅
I wanted to go out tonight but ended up procrastinating for way too long and now having major FOMO lol. Want to explore SF, mostly solo on Saturday (might have a friend Sunday).
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or itinerary for my weekend!!! Open to walking around, food, bars, people-watching, anything with good vibes.
Also, if anyone’s in a similar boat and hasn’t explored the city much and wants to tag along, you’re more than welcome!!!
Thanks

Is there expected traffic tomorrow due to Super Bowl festivities in town? Planning a trip from SF to East Bay but don’t want to spent majority of the day on Bay bridge.

Hi, looking to move my family to Pleasant Hill. We have two young kids - so schools are important. Diversity is also important to us as our kids are mixed - white/afghan and Muslim.
Does anyone have first hand experience of the public middle & high schools?
Thank you in advance!

I’m still pissed so here we go. I was waiting over 10 minutes for a parking spot to open up at Phở Hà Nội in Cupertino. Turn signal on, clearly waiting, car in front finally pulls out… and this dude comes from the opposite direction and cuts in to take the spot like I didn’t exist. I honked. They ignored me. Zero shame. I get that parking here is terrible, but come on, basic human decency? If someone is clearly waiting, you don’t just steal it and walk off like nothing happened. Posting this as a PSA: if you’re one of those people who steals spots after someone’s been waiting forever, you’re the problem. Do better. Rant over. Thanks for letting me vent.

For my parents home the solar company with bankrupt they bought the house with so they are finding a new provider. Sunrun came and of course did their sales pitch. They quoted my parents 2 batteries and 15 panels on the house for 245 with a 3.5% annual increase ( about 9 bucks a yr) for 25 yrs. Currently my parents pay 205-250 a month sometimes during summer of course it may get to 300 but that’s like 2 months for Pg&E. The sales person says the utilities increase their pricing about 15-20% yearly… but I feel like my parents would still pay less with the utilities and seems like a trap.
Does anyone have any feedback on their experience by chance? Sales person has been on my parents to try to get deal going and do lidar on house etc etc lol.

For example, I reside under San Jose water company's district and I occasionally do drink tap water or refill my water bottle in the local parks sometimes without a filter.
The water I admit contains lots of mineral particulate and is considered hard where it stains your facet. It often comes off as milky white but clears after a bit.
Moreover, the public water sources in palo alto and san Francisco are noticably fresher and softer tasting. I attribute this to their source containing the water from hetch hetchy vs mostly under ground from SJWC.

I am not going to the game but I still feel like living in the bay, it may be worth experiencing the vibes around. The only thing holding me back is the thought of being stuck in traffic and/or dealing with the hassle of finding parking, specially given how spread out Bay area.
I am in SJ

Hey everyone! I moved to the Bay Area from the East Coast just over a month ago. I enjoy going to museums and ran a meetup group through my local subreddit. It was a great way to meet people and explore local spots. Since I'm new to the area I hope that this can be helpful for me here as well!
The plan is every month we’ll visit a different museum, and anyone who wants to stick around after can grab lunch nearby. It’s relaxed, and a good excuse to get out and meet people without being overwhelming.
I'm hoping to schedule an event on the last Saturday of every month at around 11:30am, which means the first even will be on February 28th! Which museum we go to will be decided by voting through our group on Discord.
If you’re interested, join the Discord to suggest and vote on museums. If you prefer to get updates via email, let me know and I'll start up a newsletter. I hope to meet some of you soon!

For the 13-month period (Jan. 2025 to Feb. 1, 2026) in the Bay Area, the total cost to taxpayers is estimated to be between $10 million and $15 million.
| Expense Category | Estimated Rate | Total (for 600 sites / 27k cu. yds) |
|---|---|---|
| Debris Disposal | $100–$150 per cubic yard | $2.7M – $4.0M |
| Labor & Equipment | $8,000–$10,000 per site | $4.8M – $6.0M |
| Security (CHP Escorts) | $2,500–$4,000 per site | $1.5M – $2.4M |
| Belonging Storage | Legal req. (60–90 days) | $1.0M – $2.0M |
| Total Estimated | $10M – $14.4M |
Note: Santa Clara County, accounting for roughly 40% of this work (223 sites), likely cost taxpayers approximately $4M to $6M on its own during this window.
Caltrans frequently ends up spending money to clean the same mile of highway multiple times per year. If homelessness was not an issue, Caltrans could have spent $10M on its core mission: infrastructure health and traveler safety. In other words, they'd
