High School Graduation

Does anyone know if the university pays the city anything for traffic control or any other reason for the inconvenience we suffer during these high school graduations? There will be 16 graduations in 7 days, and I resent being held hostage. Some of these high schools are a LONG way away. Seems like the parents would want to have them somewhere more convenient. I guess the air-horn vendors are happy.

Is this fair?

I live at villagio and I haven’t had hot water for almost a week. When maintenance came to fix the first time, apparently one of the pieces they used broke while they were fixing it. My water heater burst and the humidity ended up melting all of my tide pods and extra tissue paper I keep in the washing area. Maintenance came back and fixed it but considering I haven’t had hot water in a week AND I have to go buy my laundry stuff, shouldn’t I be eligible to have some of my rent deducted for the month??? Also do yall think this is going to increase my water bill?

UPDATE: I was able to get some help thank you to those that reached out!

Does anybody have the equipment to put on a spare tire and willing to help? My main source of income is from uber/door dash and I only have $15 right now but I can give you that plus another $20 when I can start working again.

I live behind the fire station on wonder world for distance reference

Virgilio Altamirano, Slumlord

With summer moving season upon us I just wanted to spread the word of San Marcos’ infamous slumlord, Virgilio Altamirano. For some of you, that name will strike a nerve, and for good reason. Here are a few reasons not to rent from him…

- Maintenance requests will go untouched/ unanswered for weeks, even months and he WILL blame YOU for it.
Our toilet didn’t work for THREE days upon move in and our dishwasher hasn’t worked for the TWO YEARS we lived here.

- Several of his properties have hazards and unfit living conditions
He knowingly rented a termite infested home and blamed the tenants for it. Also one of his properties had black mold that he had someone paint over, yummy!

- IF he sends maintenance, it is highly likely he will NOT give you a 24-48 hr notice of entry which is ILLEGAL.
He once snuck someone into our backyard while my partner and I were asleep to cut down our tree without telling us… who does that???

- He will literally yell and scream at you over the phone / text if you bring up a concern.
Several San Martians can attest to this, it is a known fact that he is mean.

Current properties his company, Apante/Albacin/Muzun Investments.

Rehome

We are helping to rehome this beautiful girl, Xeno, she is current on her rabies, she is fixed, she is around 2 years old, and is just the sweetest baby she could be! The reason for the rehome is the owner is physically disabled and realized he just cant care for her in the way she deserves! If anyone is interested you may contact Zaza (the owner) with the cellphone number listed! Thanks for your time and let's find Xeno a great and loving new home that she deserves!

Homeless

I'm officially homeless, at least for the next four days. Does anyone know any good spots to sleep, not visible and safe from creepers and cops looking to give you a ticket.

Before anyone says Southside community center, I've tried. They said it was a waiting list, I cant walk just right in.

Schnauzer lost please help find Luna

Help Us Find Luna ASAP

Luna was lost while staying with dog sitters booked through Rover. The sitters, Sarah Dean and Daniel Oswiler, claim that Luna escaped, but they never officially reported her missing, did not follow the instructions provided, and have refused to cooperate or speak with police.

At this point, Luna’s family does not know what truly happened to her, and they are desperate for answers. Please help us spread the word and keep an eye out for Luna.

📍 Last known location:
6084 Paseo Monona, Carlsbad, CA 92009

If you have seen Luna or know anything that could help, please call Carlsbad police department, or comment here.

Living in San Marcos

Hi all! My husband and I are planning on moving to San Marcos this fall. What’s it’s like living there? How’re the schools? Crime? Anything you wish you were told?

Thanks for the input ☺️

The Atlantic Palazzo?

Hi, I am transferring to Texas State in the fall from a different university. I don't know anyone in San Marcos yet, and I am trying to find a 1 bedroom apartment. I know student housing is usually hit or miss, but can anyone tell me their thoughts/experiences on The Atlantic Palazzo? It's at a good price point for me, and right now my number one option but I see everyone having mixed reviews online. Thanks in advance!
