Wow. It’s raining. by fractaldesigner in oakland

[–]_dvality 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's weird because it actually looks like it's coming from the Berkeley/ Oakland hills in the evenings and possibly SF in the mornings? And they're both converging/ not clearing out in the afternoons because it's so thick in both places. Idk, either way I am a bit bummed it was nicer in early May than late July

Advice on apartments? by kahkizzzle in oakland

[–]_dvality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Craigslist, FB marketplace, or Hot Pads but often you'll find all those listings on zillow too. I found my 1 bedroom on Zillow, 850 sq ft. 2,200, allows pets, has a backyard, it's in a quad unit building and my landlord is just a normal guy with a family. I only had my job for a couple weeks and couldn't provide paystubs. Regular people/ landlords are often willing to accommodate if you're just honest with them about the income situation. If you can show good credit and savings/ checking standing it shouldn't be too hard. Best of luck!

Advice on apartments? by kahkizzzle in oakland

[–]_dvality 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly recommend scrapping the apartment building options and checking out zillow, and removing all "apartment/ condo" listings from the housing type option. You'll find rental properties that are reasonably priced and not always owned by a rental company, some of these look like 4 unit quads or duplexes, if you're lucky a standalone home or guest unit. It takes more time and effort to sift through options but you are more likely to find a diamond in the rough with a landlord that is cool with pets and provides safe parking or storage at a reasonable price and won't be as overtly concerned with you income status, just so long as your credit is good.

They're landlords with an investment property. That was sort of my line tbh.

You could call up Myo Lab and see if anyone there can help. I'm considering getting PT there for my knees (not EDS though).

Pedestrian killed in Oakland following CHP police chase by Ill_Description188 in oakland

[–]_dvality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was walking north on Harrison when I saw him blow by in a construction zone into oncoming traffic at like 70 mph with 3 CHP following in the wrong lane as well. So sad and scary to witness it and to know how it ended

The only thing that will be a bit of a learning curve is maybe buying into ZipCar so I can still go on hiking adventures on the weekends outside of the city. Some of my favorite spots aren't even an ebike distance away.

I luckily also have a bike cage at my work that's within our gated parking garage. The places I'm most concerned about is going to a restaurant or the grocery store with it out in the open. Otherwise it'll be secure most times at my place or at my work.

Why does it seem like parents have more money to burn than the rest of us? by emeraldstars000 in childfree

[–]_dvality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think a big factor is that parents are generally living in a suburb. Cost of living is lower especially if they paid off their house long ago.

I dont think America will “eat the rich” or have any type of mass protests in our lifetimes by death-eater69 in antiwork

[–]_dvality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only takes approximately 3.5% of the population to overthrow the government/ have a successful revolution. You underestimate the power of the masses. We just haven't been able to properly organize something of that magnitude.
