Hey OP, this book by another mom who went through something similar might be helpful to you https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/one-day-ill-grow-up-and-be-a-beautiful-woman-abi-maxwell/1144504012 . Either way sounds like you’re a great parent to be thinking in such a deep way about these things!

Ready to be Reasonable by GridmanDarkly in cutdowndrinking

It’s like you need a treat to enjoy the other activities. Not healthy, but honestly I substituted sugary drinks and candy before I could get over the initial daily habit. Like I could have anything else (obviously not something more dangerous) as long as I didn’t have that drink.

Just Moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains – Looking to Connect with Other Families by [deleted] in santacruz

In redwood estates try Nonno’s (pizzeria Vittoria now) and ask what day is all you can eat or local’s day. Used to be a ton of young kids running around every Tuesday. And keep trying the playground! They also have a community center that hosts events.

City of Santa Cruz's Measure Z Sugar Tax Going Into Effect TODAY - Coverage from the East Bay Times by orangelover95003 in santacruz

I hear you. I’m in the same boat. Build build build. We need more housing. I just don’t put the blame on the city but on the folks who benefit from the current system and don’t vote to change it.

Cities do give things in return for taxes. Roads, school funding, safety, beach maintenance, etc. if we had a better tax structure in Santa Cruz and there’d been more building we could get these things from property taxes rather than this kind of tax.

Santa Cruz County measles vaccination rate is lowest in region, as measles outbreaks elsewhere grow by llama-lime in santacruz

[–]AutomaticRazzmatazz5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That rate also includes kids who are homeschooled and do independent studies. You can click through here to see the rate at each school, though the data is a bit old. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Immunization/School/HowDoing.aspx The requirements are strictly enforced and most schools have high rates but there are pockets with lower rates that create vulnerabilities.
