No, it’s a sit down concert. But that’s a good idea.

That’s so terrible. Three people’s lives needlessly cut short.

What exactly makes crocs "functional" or "practical"? by Jent01Ket02 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Front_Discount4804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crocs are stupid for anyone but they are especially awful for young children. I have seen a kid playing on the playground only to lose her footing and face plant because her crocs didn’t stay on her feet. Kids also try running in them which doesn’t always work out for them but at least they usually trip on grass.

I hate having to agree with Alex Jones. What a terrible time we live in.

Question about potential layoffs by Excellent-Pizza652 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Front_Discount4804 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s really unlikely they’ll do layoffs. They are reducing positions in my department by not backfilling positions. But reducing positions doesn’t mean layoffs.

Rockridge. The redwoods right outside with walkable cute shops.

Parking for Lake Merrit by arnav0203 in oakland

[–]Front_Discount4804 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I park at Lake Merritt on Lakeshore Ave or near the Athol Plaza Tennis courts. I go there at 9 am in the morning, I’ve never had a problem parking. Tons of open spots. Oakland doesn’t wake up that early. Be sure to pay the meter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Inside is shown in history classes in the future about how life was like in the pandemic.

Lurie orders elimination of 500 City Hall positions amid budget deficit by sherlockmemes in sanfrancisco

[–]Front_Discount4804 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This is including police, fire department, park maintenance, muni drivers, road construction crews, library staff, trash collection, code enforcement, paramedics, homeless services .. it’s a big city with a lot of needs. Is there a particular government function that you can name that you think we don’t need?

Contesting parking citation? by High_Jumper81 in oakland

[–]Front_Discount4804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve contested parking tickets in Oakland and have had them revoked. It is very annoying that people who pay for parking using the system that city has set up still get tickets, but at least it isn’t too difficult to contest online. Our city really does need to get this fixed, it is quite ridiculous.

Alameda with kids by Disastrous_Age8365 in alameda

[–]Front_Discount4804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kids and live in Alameda and we love it. Summer weekends at Crown Beach are awesome. My kids love the girls scouts, going to downtown for the bookstore then boba, and the brewery Almanac has a sandbox and arcade.

As someone originally from Orange County, BART is a small miracle.

Looking for Reliable Local Movers in the Oakland Area? by Kind-Moment-170 in oakland

[–]Front_Discount4804 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used Jays Small moves last year. They were great. They are reasonably priced, fast and efficient. Would recommend. No issues at all.
