So they're flipping high-end homes in a wealthy community. No need to get whipped up about that, regardless of their behavior. What they do with their money is their business. They support over 50 nonprofits. Personally I cannot stand either one of them, but so what.
Once I find out that restaurants are still adding hidden fees I will never go there again. I know that vía maestra and the chase restaurant were adding fees and not letting customers know until you received your check.
No thanks!
Is it fair for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to profit off their public image as LGBTQ activists, especially considering the criticism they have faced in recent years for their treatment of employees and workplace culture on Ellen's show?"
Wow, then congratulations and time to get that shovel and concrete mixer out...
The deed is under a new name.
tough one if it slides down the hill... and you are inside... lol
Not sure if it even was sold actually... but for that money - damn... good one.
Looks beautiful. Can’t wait to go!
The More Mesa house is a deal to die for if you're older and have no heirs or enough money it doesn't matter. Should hang on for at least another 10 years. Without a tiny little soils issue it's easily a $10M house. Beautiful spot while it lasts!
Haha! So true! (and sadly, very accurate)
Hopefully Barbareño had the additional fees listed. Not listing the 20% service charge and a $5 order fee is ILLEGAL in California as of July 2024. You spent an extra $29 dollars + tip.

Regarding the carpool lanes opening by years end or more, Please tell me what " few more months of work before that will be ready" . No one has worked on the lanes in 2 months and seems to have zero motivation to open imo.
I remember those too. Unfortunately we can no long have such things. Too many folks would be up in arms over the inability for some of the kids to join, ride or even spell bike in English, Tagalog or Portuguese. So the city would need to buy them bikes, provide them with all the various safety devices, adequate training and of course, a new iPad to keep track of their health and progress.
As these things go. This seemingly simple idea would snowball into a large expenditure and a giant community mess. Not only would each bike need to meet some unheard of new standard, (they need to be made with free trade rubber and certified climate change steel). You'd have to buy one for every student one as to not offend the wealthy or the poor. Afterwards, the insurance needed to cover such a state sanctioned event would cost 3x the monthly budget of the district not too mention the overtime for the police and city staff. Of course the city would still move forward with this idea, but only after hiring a consultant and spending $450k to explore various options…
IMAGINE THAT!
Yeeesss finally!
In the 70’s at our local grammar schools we had “Bike Ralleys” every year. We all rode our bikes to school and everywhere in those days. We would bring our bikes to school and go through a series of drills, showing our hand signals and that we understood the rules of the road as a bike rider. They checked that our bikes were safe and encouraged helmets. We got a little paper bike driver’s license if we passed all the tests. All the kids looked forward to this annual event that was run by the police. We felt empowered and it made us better car drivers in the future. This type of thing should be back in the grammar schools today and would make for safer roads for all.
People are gonna do what they do when there are no consequences. Minors and adults alike need to comply. Mommy and daddy will pay for their kids' violations and can deal with "education" -- which is not rocket science. My opinion, however, is moot: there is little to no enforcement of basic traffic laws anymore.
I think this is a good start as well. I haven't personally seen adults doing wheelies in the middle of Cabrillo, turning last minute in front of fast-driving cars, etc, though this has happened to me several times by teenagers. And I have kids BTW. We should be enforcing this as often they are not wearing helmets either... which is just scary (for them and their families).
Ooooh. Swanky!
I love the idea of educating first, then enforcing.
I’m always shocked that most bike riders of all ages don’t use hand turning signals!!!
More power to these people, but grumpy old guys such as yours truly (not really but nevertheless!) would appreciate more comfortable seating than those aluminum hipster chairs... and as far as I'm concerned, without a full license, repeat business isn't too likely --
So agree!! The tomato pie is SO GOOD. I order it more often than I’d like to admit!!!

Those Tutu’s chips are amazing…which friends recommended them?
Ive seen both kids and adults run red lights on bike, but the difference is when the kids do it, they are completely clueless and often not looking, using their phone or cutting off cars .. different
