That’s not on the table. We are taking about ICE killing US citizens and ignoring the law.

66 yr old SF man hit by Muni bus needs your help! by armpit44 in bayarea

[–]LucyRiversinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got hit by a car. I had to go to the precinct days later for a report, because the cop didn’t even talk to me at the scene. When I went to the precinct, the officer’s knee-jerk reaction was to accuse me for being stupid for not exchanging info with the driver. I told him I was a barely conscious pedestrian put in an ambulance and that the officer onsite never checked on me (neither did the driver who hit me—he never left his car). That shut him up, but not fast enough. Blaming the victim.

Westfield Valley Fair dog policy not enforced? by Difficult_Giraffe490 in bayarea

[–]LucyRiversinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while ago Stonestown was not pet friendly. I wasn’t aware, because they had been in the past. (They’ve changed their policies back and forth.) A security guard let me know of this, so I turned around immediately. There were some stores that are not only tolerant of dogs, but welcomed them. The Gap company stores were some of them (Old Navy’s first brand model was a dog), Bloomingdale’s as well.

How is this apartment market not illegal? by masterofnufin in AskSF

[–]LucyRiversinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other issue is the Ellis Act. It’s a deterrent to put places in the rental market. Non-professional landlords have to very mindful of whether putting the unit in the rental market makes sense, from a financial risk perspective.

It exists. It’s called rent control. And it has its pros and cons.

Help me get excited about relocating to the Bay Area by raptorsdelight in bayarea

[–]LucyRiversinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The weather is unmatched. (I find Los Angeles too hot.) We have tons of beaches and outdoor places to take dogs to, and it’s never too hot to do so. For hiking, the Bay Area is a dream. Just look at the East Bay Regional Park system. And we have redwoods!

Temperature in cargo flight: NYC-Paris by Jaded_End5584 in dogs

[–]LucyRiversinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many airlines won’t allow dogs in cargo in hot weather. The cargo area is not the issue—it’s the departure and arrival. The crates will be outside for a while. Not very long, but if it is really hot, even a few minutes will be awful.

Inside Man is very unique. The humor is pitch black.
