Income restrictions for apartments?
I’m looking at an apartment in downtown San Jose at 101 San Fernando and their studio is $2600 a month, but there is an income restriction. Am I reading this chart correctly that if I only earn $71,000 a year then I would be disqualified. Who is able to afford this, especially if you have to add an additional $400 in maintenance and utilities per month? That leaves about $1000 left over for everything else. Hmm

electricity and water bills will go up, why are we allowing these things to be built?

Donating Professional Men’s Wardrobe
Is there anywhere in the area or East Bay (besides somewhere like Goodwill) to donate good quality men’s business wardrobe items: suits, shirts, ties, shoes etc?
Would ideally like to get them to an organization supporting fresh starts for people coming out of shelters, prisons, or refugees as opposed to just reselling.

4AM at Denny’s
I just wanted to share something that happened to me tonight because I’m honestly still shocked in a good way.
After work I was insanely hungry and went to Denny’s on Bascom around 4 AM. Ate my food, chilled for a bit, then left and drove home.
About 10 minutes later, I got out of my car and realized my wallet was gone.
My heart DROPPED instantly.
I started checking everywhere, then called the Denny’s thinking: “Yeah… my money is definitely gone.” My entire weekly paycheck was inside that wallet. Honestly, I expected to at least get my ID and driver’s license back, but I thought the cash would be gone for sure.
The employee answered and told me:
“Yeah, you left your wallet here. The guy sitting in front of you noticed it and handed it to us.”
And now that I think about it… my wallet was sitting in such an easy spot to take. It was low near the register where literally anyone walking up to pay could’ve just reached down 2–3 inches, slipped it into their pocket in one second, and walked out. Nobody would’ve noticed anything.
Taking it would’ve honestly been easier than doing the right thing.
But this guy still chose honesty.
I drove back expecting the wallet to be empty.
Not a single dollar was missing.
Everything was still there down to the last cent.
So whoever you are - random guy at Denny’s around 4 AM in the Campbell/San Jose area thank you, seriously. You probably saved me from one of the worst weeks ever financially and mentally.
People always talk about how the world is full of bad people, scammers, thieves, etc. But tonight reminded me there are still genuinely honest and good-hearted people out there.
You’re honestly a real one, brother. The kind of upbringing and character you must have to do something like that when it would’ve been so easy not to… seriously, much respect to you.
I’m incredibly grateful to God and to that man for what happened tonight.

youtube.comArguably the most adoptable dog in San Jose
Friends, allow me to introduce Baby Billy. I do not say things like "arguably the most adoptable dog in San Jose" lightly but he really is.
He's small. He's adorable. He's crate trained. He's potty trained, both outdoor & pad. He's not a picky eater. He LOVES other dogs. He's pretty close to perfect.
And for some reason, despite all the best efforts of the rescue and his former foster (me) and even Axolotl Musica writing him his own theme song, this amazing boy has been waiting 6 MONTHS for his forever people to find him.
So now we're all doing whatever we can think of to increase his reach, because we know his perfect family is out there.
His theme song is here

The foster Instagram with 3 months worth of daily posts highlighting how adorable he is, is here

(you'll have to scroll a bit, we've had another foster since, but there's a pinned post with all his info)
Tesla supercharger lot at night
There is a Tesla supercharger lot near by house. At least 2-3 times a month, someone charges in the middle of the night and blasts their music while they do it. I have contacted 311 but not much has changed. It is impossible to find a Tesla contact. Any ideas what else I can do to get this addressed? And for others with supercharge lots around, do you experience this as well?

news.sportslogos.netHit and Run today near San Tomas and Scott
Today morning on my way to work, I was hit by the car behind me and the driver took off by the time I got out of the car to get their info. Unfortunately, I do not have much information about the car other than that it was a dark colored sedan.
It was on NB San Tomas Expressway just before the Scott junction (next to the Service Now bldg (https://maps.app.goo.gl/E31cFvoSQCnjpVsQ7)
Just a long shot but if anyone saw it and have any information about the car, please share it with me.
yep, here it is.
since people accused me of doxxing the driver in the civic, here's a dash cam.
Looking for opinions on B&W film development, especially Foto Express, or other options.
Just moved to the area and I'm trying to re-start my black and white film hobby. I'm just looking for a place that sells a variety of film--nothing exotic--including b&w, and offering processing service. All I really want are the negs, so I'm curious about where they'll do this, or if they automatically include scanning, etc., and a general idea of how much it might cost.
Foto Express is and easy trip for me via light rail, so I was curious to hear opinions on that place.
Where I moved from, I had a place that did b&w film, negs only, for $6. I'm kind of doubting I will be able to find a place that matches that, but it would be nice.
Senior doggy day care
In a nutshell: There’s many day cares around but I need quick help focusing in on ones that have senior dog experience and physical/cognitive limitations (impaired vision and minor brain trauma) too.
My little old guy is grieving the recent passing of his companion far more than I expected. He never used to have separation anxiety but now he has it big time. I had to leave work early yesterday because he had been crying for hours. I’m trying my best to juggle supporting him and work, and could use a little help narrowing down the options.
What's the cost of the Iran War on your family?
Hello,
I’m working on a story for The San Francisco Standard about the cost of the Iran War on Bay Area households. We’re looking to talk with families about how their bills — gas, groceries, utilities, etc. — have changed/are changing over the last few months and the decisions they are making, big and small, as a result. Would you be interested in sharing your experience?
If so, send me an email at sbaer@sfstandard.com.
Thank you,

Last minute house cleaning..?
Hey all,
Anyone have a house cleaner they can reccomend? We have a 1500 sqft house, 3bd, 2ba and are hoping for a last minute cleaning between now and EOD Monday. Mostly because my fiance is pregnant, and I'd rather not have to do it myself alone over the weekend. We have guests arriving Tuesday suddenly. We are generally pretty clean so it's a standard job (I even just polished the stainless appliances last weekend). Vacuum/mop, dust, general overall cleaning is what I am looking for.
Thank you for an references or places to look!
