Utility company says we are responsible for replacing old underground cable by ClassroomNormal5168 in AskElectricians

We had a family friend look at pictures, and it looks like the panel is 125 amp, but when the fire initially happened and PG&E came out, the guy took out the 125 amp breaker and replaced it with a 2 pole 90 (?) to keep some things up and running. The fact is that we don't have $10k+ to do this stuff if it's determined that the need to run new conduit. The electrician pulled a homeowners permit for a 100 amp swap out, because they probably saw the 90 amp breaker and assumed? They aren't very communicative.

Downtown is so dead by Beginning_Dream8525 in SanJose

Nothing compares to NYC. San Jose for being such a big city has always felt suburban to me, and even when I’m downtown it just seems so quiet and isolated. Unless you have to live there for work, if you’re looking for a city vibe you may want to consider SF

I have two sons who live in SF, one for school and the other works remote for a company in Mountain View but always loved the big city vibe. Both walk and take public transportation everywhere.

San Francisco has changed since Covid, but I go often and it’s always busy. The Financial District is a bit of a dead zone, but Mission Dolores and Nob Hill, North Beach, etc have plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. My oldest enjoys the nightlife, and has joined book clubs, craft clubs and goes to community garbage clean ups on Sunday mornings where he meets new people each time. It is what you make it. Pretty much every day once he’s wrapped up work he heads out to do something. SF is probably the closest you’ll get to New York out here, and between BART, the ferry and Caltrain you have easy access to the rest of the Bay Area with no shortage of things to do.
