u/SanFranciscoMan89

I'm grateful for this community and keeping it real about the town we care about.

There have been a number of posts and comments criticizing other communities. This subreddit is a place for free expression. However, it is not a place to talk bad about other subreddits.

Just a reminder that there is moderation here and posts that are uber critical or go off the rails will be locked or removed.

Let's be civil to one another and other communities. Basically, if you don't have something nice to say...

Have a great day and think about the great things about this town in addition to areas of improvement.

I'm glad that they're helping get people off the streets. I have mixed feelings after reading the article.

However, I believe results matter. Your thoughts on how San Francisco is handling their homeless problem versus Oakland?

Ive been eating Laotian food for years thanks to Vientiane Cafe and the (rip) Noodles pho me. Nam Khao is always on my restaurant order.

Is Laotian still an unknown cuisine or is it already as popular as Ethiopian, Burmese, etc in the East Bay?

And is it catching on in other parts of the Bay Area and California?

What are your thoughts on murals vs graffiti?

I grew up in the burbs and am fine with white walls and buildings.

Others seem to think a blank wall is just asking to be covered.

Honestly, I've seen some amazing murals but not as much interested in graffiti especially on privately owned buildings. Personally I'm saddened when I go to Chinatown and see rampant graffiti everywhere.

So what are your opinions on murals and graffiti? Yes to both, one or none?

Glad to join this sub for one of my favorite grocery stores.

I am fortunate to make weekly trips to BB and have been doing this for the last year.

I start in the bulk section, go to produce (majority of my purchases), head past the meat section and then to dairy. I'll finish up by picking up my favorite BB made potato chips above the sushi section.

Occasionally, I'll venture into the Asian aisle or the Frozen aisle.

From there I'll head to check out my cart.

So do you follow the racetrack, a reverse racetrack or some other pattern to do your BB grocery shopping?

I always welcome any tips or tricks in more efficient shopping.
