It has his social security card. Someone picked it up ordered pizza from Mountain Mike’s. They gave him the number for the order but no video. He text and called the number. They said they’d drop it off at his mailbox but nothing. How do we find them with their number 916 202 7562. Please help.
Was waiting for the train at Cordova Town Center today. Three punks were harassing a homeless man right there on the road. Then they all came to me. The guy in front of me asked me to fight him, I said I wasn't interested, so he called me a bitch. They started faking punches at me, pulling their arms back like they were about to swing, stopping short, trying to get me to flinch or react, called me racial slurs. Mocked my accent and speech impediment. They were not at all stopping. I felt like running away. I was completely cornered by these 3 idiots. No way out. So I started recording, and they gave the camera the middle finger, kept mocking me.
Even with the recording they weren't stopping so I called the cops while it was happening and they still stood around when I was on the phone with police. Even after I got on the phone with the operator, they kept circling back toward me before finally walking off once they saw I was still on the call. Cops said there's not much that can be done after the fact, but I'm posting this because this kind of thing (going after a homeless man, then harassing a stranger's speech and accent, fake swings) isn't something to just shrug off.
At the end, I kept distance, they were gone. I took my train home safely.
The Rancho Cordova City Council decided to put an unopposed candidate before voters rather than appoint him to the 2nd District seat, a decision expected to cost the city more than $14,000.
Home battery install prices are crazy high compared to doing it yourself. The biggest hurdle for me is with permits and inspections.
Anyone want to double up with me on a group buy of plans + hardware? I have the electrician lined up and hardware already in a shopping cart with all the bits and bobs.
Does anyone know of a small firm or person that drafts engineering plans to file permits with Rancho Cordova for DIY battery install?
I'm going to DIY install an EG4 battery system with a GridBoss + FlexBoss21 + 2x 16kw batteries. These are all UL listed together. I can do the install and wire the batteries + flexboss to the GridBoss (MID). I already have a unionized electrician that will run the wires from the meter to the cutoff switch and then to my MID, and back to my main panel.
What I need are electrical engineering plans to file with Rancho Cordova to get the permit and to file with the fire department, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Anyone use t mobile internet? Xfinity got way too expensive. Thoughts?
Last month I had launched a pilot to help bay area homeowners file an informal decline in value assessment. The response was overwhelming and more than 1,000 people have checked their property and it has so far saved an average of $2,800 per filing for tens of filers.
I am now making it available with deadlines approaching for property owners in SAC. Checking is free and you pay a flat $29 to file. You are only allowed to file if there are savings estimated.
The website automatically pulls comps based on Publication 30 rules, fills out the form, and for SAC residents automatically faxes it to the county assesor's office.

Other than donating to local orgs and volunteering with our local food bank, what are some other ways to better support our unhoused neighbors?
(PLEASE no negativity or debates, I’d like this comment section to simply be a resource for those of us whose hearts are pulled to serve and support our fellow humans.)
****
UPDATE: Rancho Cordova resources for unhoused neighbors ❤️** (so far)..**.
I asked this exact same thing on Facebook, Reddit AND Nextdoor and got a ton of genuinely helpful suggestions (except on facebook... curiouser and curiouser...)
ANYWAY, I wanted to compile the best ones here so neighbors who want to help have something easy to save/share… and so we can give someone an actual resource instead of telling them to “just Google it”, when half this stuff DOESN'T COME UP ON A GOOGLE SEARCH!! 😅
