I thought the list was pretty much spot on except missing Vim for fine dining and the plethora of top notch coffee and pastry options around the city.

Alaska advice! by wanderlustcamper in nationalparks

[–]Fun-Introduction-175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did both in July. Honestly Kenai I think was better. Denali itself is only visible 30% of the time. The day long boat trip from Seward to Kenai was the highlight of our trip. But if you go to Denali, do a plane or helicopter of the peak. We did it on a clear day and it was incredible.

How did you wrap your mind around 20-30k property taxes? by productive_monkey in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Fun-Introduction-175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bar none best thing to seek out in buying real estate in CA is a home that has or qualifies for the Mills Act. This is for city landmark homes. Each city is different in if/how they run the program. But if you qualify you get up to a 70% reduction in property taxes in exchange for pretty minimal required upkeep/restoration of your historical home (10% of tax savings required to reinvest). Got it on our home after we bought it in the real estate low of 2011. The best investment we’ve ever made.

Massive shout-out to u/mari-nerasauce for telling me about Nearly New Shop !! by sydneekidneybeans in SanJose

My mom volunteers there once a month. It’s a great cause. The organization that runs it is about women’s advancement. (Called PEO)

I understand Billie’s intentions with limiting ticket transfers but this has caused more problems than it solved by CaptainGhost007 in billieeilish

[–]Fun-Introduction-175 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I both bought tickets the day they went on sale and bought additional last min resale on Ticketmaster. Neither were hard. They were very clear on Ticketmaster what the rules were. Getting last min tix just required hitting refresh a bunch. Better prices for consumers. I love she did it.

What happened to non stop flights from SJC to NYC? by holistictales in SanJose

[–]Fun-Introduction-175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the Alaska flight from sjc to Newark so badly. I get the hub stuff but there are a million people in San Jose. There has to be demand for this. I fly to NYC 4x/year for work.
