r/SanDiegan

US Navy Veteran Andy Kopp - “Dismiss the lies, read it for yourself in the voter guide, and vote 'Yes' on Measure A.”

The California Association of Realtors is lying to active military, veterans, their families, and San Diegans. Measure A exempts deployed service members and disabled veterans from paying a tax on any empty home they may own.

Want to read it for yourself? Hop on Ballotpedia for links to the ballot summary and Measure A's full text. Keeping homes empty in a housing crisis is wrong; homes are for living, not for hoarding!

Please point me in the right direction!

I have been sitting here for quite some time trying to type this because I that so many people are struggling right now, I really feel bad about even posting this, but my family really needs some help. I won’t get too deep into politics here, but we are members of the LGBTQ+ community who moved here last year from our extraordinarily conservative hometown on the East Coast.

We knew it would not be an easy path, but safety became paramount. We love the city and have integrated into the community but are still learning the area. I’m here today because I am hopeful that someone who is familiar with local resources will see this and maybe point me in the right direction to find some assistance.

Our food stamps were suddenly discontinued this month and we have been out of food for several days. Family Services requested additional information after I submitted our SAR7 Annual Report, so I uploaded documents that they requested promptly. I didn’t receive any additional follow up, so I thought everything was good until the day our benefits were due. I checked the online portal and saw that they had been discontinued, but there was nothing there that told me why.

I called in and was told that the worker had determined they required further documentation from my fiancé’s school, which I’ve also submitted at this point. It has now been nearly 12 days since our benefits were due and we are still waiting to hear something back from our case worker.

I have been by the agency and spoken with a case worker by phone but they have not given me any information beyond “We’ve received your documents and your case worker will be following up after she reviews them.”

I am disabled and my fiancé gets paid Monday, but we’ve been without food for several days. I don’t think we can make it through the weekend like this.

I would be forever grateful for any information you could share with me that could potentially help get our case processed a little quicker, or help us get some food.

Thank you for your time.

First trip to Tijuana - border crossing questions.

I've wanted to do a day trip to Tijuana since I moved here 8 years ago. I'm finally getting off my unmotivated ass, and doing it. I have a passport card, are those still OK to use? I'm going to drive to the border, and walk across. Any good parking place recommendations?
I'm going to Avenida Revolucion, to explore and have lunch at Caesar's. I also want to go to Pasaje Rodriguez.
Appreciate any tips/help.

San Diego fell from 5th to 12th most expensive rental market by building more multifamily housing per capita than any other California city. This is what happens when you actually build. The lesson isn't complicated.

San Diego mayor gets called out loudly for fostering hatred that leads to things like a mosque being shot up

“In the distance between us, hate grows.”

I had the privilege of attending last night’s (5.19) interfaith community vigil at Lindbergh Neighborhood Park for the victims of the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting.

My friend and colleague, Andrea Guerrero of Alliance San Diego, was invited to say a few words.

I hope you, my fellow redditors and r/SanDiegans, find some solace in her sentiments and the knowledge that yesterday in the park, it was all love.

Peace to Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, Nadir Awad, their families, friends, and community.

Anyone know why Vey's Powersports in El Cajon closed?

I feel like Vey's and Motoworld are the two big hitters in east county for dirtbikes, side by sides, quads, etc. so I thought they'd have enough business to keep open. Does anyone know what happened?

Lease clause about property loss

Has anyone come across this clause in their leases before? I’ve never seen this without specifying it’s only in cases where the lessee is negligent. This lease has some other clauses in it that are unenforceable in California so this might be the last red flag for me.

Cougar Experiences

I’m a 23 year old; trying to find nightclubs or bars to find older women. I’ve only had one experience from Applebees when I was 19 and I’m desperately trying to relive that moment.

Campland On The Bay Tent Camping

Has anyone ever tent camped at Campland on the Bay? We have no camper/rv, tents only. The pictures look like spots are all concrete. I have a voucher I “won” at a charity auction I would like to redeem. Any suggestions on specific sites?

Is there anywhere actually HIRING?

hello, I’m deeply losing faith and hope I’ll actually get a job. I’m trying everywhere, I’ve tried multiple stores that I go to on the regular. My only experience is a seasonal sales job at boxlunch during the winter season. I only have 5 hours given to me during that time, this sucks.

Japanese language teacher

Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. My name is Shiira. I am a licensed native Japanese language teacher with a Master's degree in Foreign Language Education, and have been teaching Japanese for adults, teens and children for over 20 years. My students are doing private lessons or lessons with their family, and we are meeting online for the lessons. While I teach all levels of learners, many of my students have started from scratch and I love to help from the basic step by step. If anyone here is interested in learning Japanese and would like to communicate and understand better, I am very happy to help. Please feel free to send me a private message. I am happy to discuss further. Thank you for reading my post. I look forward to hearing from you.

Would it be disrespectful to leave flowers outside the Islamic center?

I know very little about Islam. I’ve already donated to the center, and I know about the interfaith vigil tonight. I guess I just feel helpless.
