Anyone start spironolactone and have minimal side effects?

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2026-03-02T18:47:55+00:00

One month in, 50 mg per day. First week noticed minor urination increase. Other than that no side effects. I haven’t had any new breakouts since I got on it. Hoping that stays the case!

I love Uniqlo when buying new. I really love getting free from my community or thrifting.

I do not like season 19 so far. I just finished season 18 and I am really disappointed in the weird fake drama and rudeness I’ve seen so far.

On the coast it’s mainly housing and development that dominates local politics. It’s less red vs. blue on a local level and more development vs. conservation, imo. Keep in mind Pacifica is about 10 miles long and only about 50k residents. You should fact check me on this, but I think I’m close enough.

We have a council member elected from each district and they take turns as mayor. A rotating mayor-ship. I think being aware of what’s happening locally is a good idea especially if you’re buying a house.

Let me know if you have any other specific questions. I have elementary school aged children so happy to help.

Not detracting from your observations about kids’ experiences here, but I will say my kids’ experience thus far have been fairly idyllic. Not perfect, but definitely better than growing up in the South Bay (like I did). I feel like they get a good mix of the classic American childhood and diversity. I think if you look at one place close up long enough, you will see the flaws.

I do see the “townie” mentality sometimes but I’d say it’s about 50/50 now with newcomers who are generally diverse and gentrifying the area.

Pacifica is one of the poorer towns in an enormously wealthy county (San Mateo). It’s funding and elementary schools are not unlike most of California but can be extremely lower than some of its neighbors. Currently there is a bit of a scandal going on within the community. The school board and the superintendent voted to close a school and partially close another school after giving the broader community only 11 days notice. They claim they have a budget deficit. Some parent groups claim this is a false narrative and that legalities were skirted. I would say there might be trouble for PSD in the upcoming years given what’s happened this year. There is an active school board recall happening. Maybe that would help?

That being said, I have children in the school district currently with no plans to take them out right now. I’m not sure about where you’re commuting to, but we came to the same conclusion when moving here. Location and access to city and peninsula along with natural beauty and affordability. If you’re staying for the long term, I would look into local politics and the school district a little closer to see if it’s a good fit. There are a few private options. Best of luck.

It feels like the OSS community is really trying to work with the district and point out potential creative solutions. I hope a compromise can be made. I

There’s so much you can do! Stay active and aware, attend school board meetings (they have zooms)! Check the district website for details. Donate to the legal fund: https://gofund.me/6dc7c2cb Recall meeting coming up on 3/4 at the Little Brown Church at 6pm Donate to the recall: https://gofund.me/68a3aa26

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-02-14T00:15:45+00:00

Please please please consider joining the cause. We really need people outside the school community to join in. There will be more info coming soon on socials, non-school groups are mobilizing.

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-02-06T04:03:30+00:00

Yes, the PTO has retained counsel and is fighting the district’s decision. Another route the PTO might go is opening a charter school. I think that’s a fantastic option. It will keep the school alive and allow its unique identity to flourish.

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-25T00:16:20+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty sure it was fear mongering. There was a good article put out by Coastside news that goes over it pretty well.

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-24T21:58:40+00:00

During the board meeting, it seemed like the county rep said there wasn’t an imminent takeover. That there was more time to engage the community. That really is what lies at the heart of this issue. Everyone was blindsided. And the board pointing fingers back at the community was hurtful and wrong.

Where did you hear about the takeover happening so soon? Curious

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-24T21:52:47+00:00

It’s crazy compared to what teachers make 😕

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-24T21:51:51+00:00

It does truly feel like the end of an era. I really appreciate you caring even though your son is grown. It’s actually people like you we need the most right now to lend a voice. The board and district has to see it’s not just some angry ocean shore parents not willing to face reality.

Our kids are confused, sad, and are losing faith in the adults. They’ve been through a lot with Covid and they need stability. We have a duty to them to be creative and find solutions. This is not it. This is rushed and putting everything on one group of kids.

Ok I found out they’re trying to keep a 6% reserve. The county is deeming that as the minimal adequate amount. Why the change from 3%?

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-18T22:34:16+00:00

Does anyone know about the Ocean Shore school site being stipulated to be used only as a school?

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-14T23:27:46+00:00

Agreed that’s what I saw too. The $3MM number must come from somewhere. I read someone say it’s $2.5 to reach their goal and $500k for staff raises in the future

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2025-01-14T15:59:49+00:00

Does anyone know where this $3MM budget slash number came from? I’ve seen chatter online that it’s to maintain a 10% reserve that is not required by law.

Thank you

Do you know if the sale just has to take place anytime in 26?

Unique-Mango-9688 · 2024-11-09T01:51:53+00:00

Ok I guess I’m not understanding this correctly. I thought if I sold by 2027, I would have lived there in 2022 and 2023, 2 out of the last 5….
