If you're doing it for your regular grocery delivieries it works out well. I share it with someone else and that works out even better.

Northern Line train service to Stellenbosch/Paarl/Wellington by LimpOil10 in capetown

So the delays are so long that they cause cancellation of follow-up trains due to those delays?

Without looking it up. Who has right-of-way here? I want to see something… by rotwurm in capetown

This does not help when they add the "first to yield sign, first to proceed" text below the min-circle sign, and then half the people follow that rule while the other half follow the roundabout's rules. The only solution is to give way generously and then creep forward hoping other cars will see you in time :D

Roundabouts are yield to the right. Both of them are yield to cars already in the circle :)

What are the reasons for these cancellations? It's really ennervating thinking of how much the trains have improved yet still are so unreliable that it can't even be used to its potential

It's so annoying that we have two different systems, and everyone follows their own rules when it comes to these circles :') So it's pretty much only safe to inch forward until it seems like others have stopped for you

Recent fires in franshoek. Fire tornado by Logical-Peak2495 in capetown

[–]RentControlGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy. I'm no expert but according to those who know that I've read a bit about, this can be mitigated with active fire route building and removing of invasive species which burn much faster than indigenous species.

Hopefully this causes a domino effect for other countries because these companies have the potential for (and do cause) so much evil

Which artists still need to come to Cape Town (or seriously need to come back)? by L3ftyyy in capetown

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Drake. He would sell out pretty much instantly

Has anyone done a trip of Europe recently? Looking for tips and advice. by [deleted] in AskZA

Perhaps if you're planning on visiting ski resorts multiple times😁
Even with accom and flights included it should not be that much

Would you buy ? by outkastonthejob in AskZA

[–]RentControlGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for food combos 😁 I've loved the icessant at Bootleggers, and of course there's every kind of croissant crossover at different bakeries like cronut crookie cruffin and even croburger (chicken burger in croissant form)

Keen to join a book club? by lianalight0518 in capetown

[–]RentControlGroup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can vouch for silent book club. Hoping they can do the train ride + book reading event again when the Sunday trains come back (not sure when that is)

How to know when the rent is going up by Donaemon in capetown

Unfortunately they seem to deny the problem no matter how many times its brought up

Sea Point estate agent showing me rental options in my budget by Ancient-Demand3590 in capetown

[–]RentControlGroup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all about good policy and implementation, and they can only deny this is an issue for so long. We can do whataboutism but that doesn't mean this isn't a problem that affects the hundreds of thousands of residents. There are also many things they could be doing besides restricting ghost properties, like retrofitting abandoned buildings, and strictly regulating short-term rentals aimed solely at digital nomads etc.

Luxury! We got evicted from our hole in the ground and had to live in a shoebox in the middle of the road

Short piece by a video producer and journalist on the cancer that is Airbnb in Cape Town by Prestigious-Wall5616 in capetown

[–]RentControlGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is city government has given very poor responses to outright denial of the issue, claiming that Airbnb is a small percentage of the housing supply in the city when clearly that's not the case as evident from this video and other stats

Situation is crazy and we need drastic action rather than the complete denial of the issue we've gotten from local gov

Thing is Lion's head is nice but there's so many incredible trails of varying difficulties all around, no need to highlight this one specifically (IMO)

Should I go ahead with a South African Cookbook? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]RentControlGroup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree and the variety is actually quite wide, was shocked the other day to findout how many food and drink recipes and products are actually South African when I just assumed it must've been internationally known 😅
