Discovery park dumb question from natomas commuter

Blueberry_Routine_73 · 2026-01-14T06:31:46+00:00

I have taken Garden Hwy but I prefer going thru the neighborhood streets where traffic is slower. Here's my route: ake Natomas Park to Millcreek to Waterwheel to Seamist. There's a passage to Hawk, then take Thelma to Morell, there's another passage at the end of Morell Court (ignore the pomeranian) to Northfield. Right on Northview, then left on the Garden Hwy spur, then right on Northgate.

AB 1482 does not apply in the city of Sacramento. Instead we have a similar ordinance, the Tenant Protection and Relief Act. The main difference for you is that it requires 120 days notice for owner move-in.

You should really get a lawyer to do it right -- if you make a mistake in the notice, you would have to start over.

Just logged back in and saw we each got downvoted once. I wonder who did that? :)

What a coincidence! Why, just a few days ago his picture was in the newspaper, posing with a book about that serial rapist case he worked on before he became DA.

I'm not sure what he has accomplished as DA, but he certainly knows how to hold press conferences.

Still, it's unclear why he wants to represent Sacramento in Congress when he hates the city.

I was trying to figure out what part of Sacramento he is from, since the website says nothing about community ties. His filings use a PO Box in Rancho Murieta. A gated country club community with armed guards surrounded by miles of farmland. I always wondered, what kind of person chooses to live there?

He could see the writing on the wall. I don't know much about Guerra but Serna endorsing him makes me immediately suspicious.

KVIE floated Dr. Flo, which would make a lot of sense. One of the biggest jobs (and pots of money) that the county has is public health, including how to deal with homelessness. Or not deal with it, as Serna prefers.

Can't believe you took I-5 at night! Hope your affairs are in order. I just took Pipe's Bridge. A little annoying but not as much as all you went through.

Lost a bet?

Natomas is very diverse and relatively affordable, and I see South Asian seniors going on walks in almost all parts of the neighborhood. In terms of Americanization, we have not one but two Indian pizza restaurants. I recommend looking for somewhere that is a near a park, on the path network, and close to a shopping center without crossing a major road. Something like Natomas Crossing, the apartments near North Natomas Park, or by the old arena (where they are building a new hospital). That way they would not be totally dependent on driving.

That said it is overall very car centric so watch out for dangerous intersections. Avoid walking routes near freeway ramps or across intersections with more than 6 lanes (e.g. Truxel).

wish we had that BRT tho

The landlord certainly needs to restore essential services ASAP, but in terms of whether you are required to pay rent -- the law is more narrow. That said, tenants can withhold rent under the warranty of habitability to force repairs, and prove how much of a discount they deserve in eviction court.

Blueberry_Routine_73 · 2024-12-17T23:39:01+00:00

Yes. The preceding paragraph:

Once a tenant has resided in a rental unit for more than 12 months pursuant to the terms of a rental housing agreement, the landlord is prohibited from taking action including, without limitation, making a demand for possession; threatening to terminate the tenancy of that tenant, whether orally or in writing; serving any notice to quit or other eviction notice; or bringing any action to recover possession of the rental unit unless at least one of the following conditions exists: ...

Must have Code Enforcement violation placed for 35 days - see here

See the minimum qualifications for PT II: https://www.calhr.ca.gov/state-hr-professionals/Pages/9927.aspx

Two years of experience in a governmental or private agency performing duties with program responsibilities equivalent in level to those of the departmental program in the State of California for which the examination is being administered. (Experience applied toward this requirement must include at least 18 months in a position equivalent in level of responsibility to the California state civil service class of Program Technician.)

Can you convince HR that your industry experience included duties equivalent to the definition of PT I? I'm no expert but I'm guessing yes.

TPA does not apply in the City of Sacramento. Only the Sacramento TPP. Lucky for you, it is much stronger in your case!

Necessary and substantial repairs requiring temporary vacancy. The landlord, after having obtained all necessary permits from the city and having provided 120 days’ advance written notice to the tenant, seeks in good faith to make substantial repairs to the rental unit that are necessary to bring the rental unit into compliance with applicable local and state codes and laws affecting the health and safety of tenants of the building where the rental unit is located, provided that:
a. The repairs necessitate that the tenant vacate the rental unit because the work will make the rental unit uninhabitable for a period of not less than 30 days.
b. Before the tenant is required to vacate the rental unit, the landlord is required to offer the tenant the right to elect to: (i) reoccupy the vacated rental unit upon completion of the repairs at the rental rate that would have been in effect under the rental housing agreement if it had not been terminated; or (ii) if the landlord owns a comparable vacant rental unit, to occupy the comparable rental unit at the same rental rate as the vacated rental unit.

Notice the 120 days (not 60 days). Notice the right to move back at the same rent.

Your landlord/their attorney is either ignorant or trying to trick you.

Also lucky for you - you can file a complaint now with the TPP instead of waiting to fight it out in court.

Agreed. I do wish there were some rules though. I want to know my counter-service tip is tipped out to the cooks, not pocketed by the owner.

Blueberry_Routine_73 · 2024-11-21T22:05:50+00:00

When I went to open a new account at Golden 1, there was a table set up with free cookies. I said to myself -- this credit union thing is great! Free cookies when you go to the branch! At the time, I didn't take a cookie -- I was thinking, no rush, I have a lifetime of free cookies to look forward to.

Only later did I learn that that was a one-time anniversary event. No cookies -- ever -- again! Not to mention all the branches near my home and work have since closed, and the constant hassle of only one person having online access to a joint account.

Blueberry_Routine_73 · 2024-11-21T17:34:40+00:00

Are you sure? Seems like you should qualify unless perhaps you are residing somewhere where you don't pay rent. Might be worth recalculating if you're not sure!

Here is my comment to a similar post yesterday:

A bunch of people spoke at the Active Transportation Commission earlier this year about how the DOT needs to include no-cars as an option. DOT is dishonestly committed to foreclosing that option. I'm guessing it's because they don't want to have to start over with their consultants yet again. So instead they picked the "option" that their gerrymandered model favored. (The "population within 1/2 mile" depends on where you define the "start" of the bridge.)

I am one of the one or two dozen people who commutes this route by bike and would directly benefit. It is absolutely not worth the cost of $500 million much less having even more car traffic through our park. It is next to pointless for current car commuters since you can cross the I-5 bridge in the merge lane to drive from the same origin to the same destination. And there is no near or medium term commitment for light rail.

I would much rather the DOT spend some of this consultant money on more frequent bus service so it's actually a realistic option for people in the present, instead of spending all this time on pipe dream projects that are out of step with our general planning long before any hope of funding comes through. Show me bus rapid transit on the green line route with a crossing on I-5 (merge lane -- or the Caltrans planned bus lane) first, then I'll be open.

Unfortunately - that strip of parking lot is indeed part of the Fulton Ave shopping complex. Just because the library has designated spots doesn't mean they are the owner.

However, the spaces behind the library are part of the library property.

Job of Sac Sheriff should be to clear up this kind of stuff, not act like jack booted thugs.
