To Dublin residents and residents of neighboring cities:

I am a Dublin resident and have lived here my entire life. I was a student at Nielsen Elementary, Wells Middle, and Dublin High School. I have many great memories and still keep in touch with peers and neighbors I grew up with. Thus, it is important to me to warn other residents of a looming threat by DHS and ICE.

In addition to the 45-day ICE surge ordered by the Trump regime, DHS is trying to open an ICE detention center at FCI Dublin (the former women’s prison).

We have heard a lot about ICE presence in southern and central California. In the past few days there are reports of increased ICE presence in Sacramento, Woodland, and Roseville.

The only reason there has not been as substantial of a presence in the Bay Area is because DHS does not have enough warehouses in the area to keep people. This is why we need to take a stand now.

If this ICE detention center opens, we can expect to see raids like we have seen in Minnesota, New York, and Southern California.

Please join me and the ICE out of Dublin Coalition to protect our neighbors and keep ICE out of Dublin and the Bay Area.

I’m looking to relocate in summer of 2027 from NJ to the Bay Area. I’m a teacher- I’d be coming to CA with a bachelor’s degree + 60 credits and a master’s degree. I’ve looked at several districts and areas to move to. Antioch is my favorite as far as living but I’d be at a salary of roughly $90,400 if I worked in Antioch as well. I’ve also considered districts like San Leandro, Mountain View, Palo Alto, etc. which would put me a little over $100k a year. That seems more reasonable considering from the looks of it, rent would easily be around $3.5k a month in a decent area.

My questions:

1. What are some decent areas to live in that are within a reasonable commute distance of the districts I listed above, that don’t require an arm and a leg for rent?

2. Is the traffic really as bad as people say? I commuted 50 miles each way for a few years here in Jersey and it took about an hour if I left early enough to beat most of the traffic. Gas is also not an issue as I have an ev.

3. Are the school districts difficult to get into?

Hi all, been a long-time user of Reddit, but this is my first time posting. Really exciting for me: D

I'll get to the point - I'm a reporter working on a story on property management companies resorting to AI for tasks used to be handled by real people, such as maintenance requests, leasing questions, or others. I'm curious if anyone's apartment has transitioned to AI in any way?

I recently learned that Avenue 64 and Emme, both managed by Essex Property Trust, have shut down their Resident app, which residents have previously used for maintenance requests, and have alerted their tenants that an AI hotline will be used for service requests called Eva.

Please feel free to also share your experience interacting with AI, excitement or frustration, all welcome! :D

Who has the best fries in the east bay?!

I live near a wonderful couple who love the outdoors. A few years ago one of them had a stroke and lost most mobility, but they recently got a new wheelchair that can “off-road” to some extent.

What are some recommended accessible trails that I can share with them? Are there some that are also dog-friendly? They foster small/medium dogs occasionally.

Bay Area and Greater Bay Area ok, they are happy to drive a bit for a day trip. Thank you in advance for the recommendations!
