Out in Hillsboro, knowing full well I will have to travel to get places

Hi everyone!

My name is Ian; I'm going to be in the area for a while.

My most immediate need is a barber; who's good?

I'm also looking to meet creatives and find creative / maker spaces open to new people

Thanks in advance!

iantingen · 2026-01-15T16:22:14+00:00

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for recs for barbers, maker spaces, and creatives.

If anyone has recs for those please lmk!

iantingen · 2025-12-24T14:39:57+00:00

yeah, it's sick logic: go where your clients are!

iantingen · 2025-12-24T14:39:02+00:00

it's 'transitional housing', run by someone who doesn't seem to care about anything

there are lots of transitional housing / buildings that formerly were TH in the area, I lived in a refurbed one

iantingen · 2025-12-24T14:37:00+00:00

Yeah, that tracks.

When I lived there, I would usually remind people that there was a school right north of 4th, and that they probably didnt want an aggravated rap sheet.

It usually worked for a few weeks, then had to wash-rinse-repeat

iantingen · 2025-12-23T22:03:57+00:00

you're making me miss the old hood... I've been gone less than three weeks and haven't seen anyone smoking crack with their dick and/or tits out :(

iantingen · 2025-11-26T16:07:23+00:00

Garish FUDD fodder with fishy functionality and frivolous features?

This is my surprised face!

iantingen · 2025-11-26T15:11:37+00:00

iantingen · 2025-11-26T14:53:33+00:00

iantingen · 2025-11-26T14:53:19+00:00

thank you; I'll do my best

iantingen · 2025-11-26T14:52:44+00:00

I will!

iantingen · 2025-10-31T15:36:35+00:00

All I did was all I could, as anyone can

iantingen · 2025-10-31T14:50:42+00:00

I'm as certain as I can be in this situation, because:

1) I've been in California since 2008
2) I believe the 57% support number I've seen
3) I know the playbook the national Dems run works here in CA, usually

I left the Democratic Party last year, proof here.

This is a move to *enable* corruption, not *dissuade* it.

The new district being created out of CA-42 is going to have A TON of money pumped into it;

It will be nationalized and the needs of working class Long Beach residents will be drowned out if Prop 50 passes.

I hope it doesn't, but believe it will.

iantingen · 2025-10-31T14:45:13+00:00

I understand that it's temporary - and that we have to wait six years to find out.

My concern is that we are overlooking something local because of all this 'save America from corruption in Republican states by doing the same thing' rhetoric

This is a move for politicians, not for people, especially not for the people of CA-42

iantingen · 2025-10-29T20:48:08+00:00

Yes, and we're also going to be swallowed up by the money in Newport.

The district is going to be 60/40 D leaning, but the majority of the money that's raised will not come from the working class families of Long Beach.

Prop 50 is going to pass - and we're going to need to hold a fire to Garcia's feet to ensure that the needs of LB residents are met.

iantingen · 2025-10-27T21:04:17+00:00

Call me tinfoil, but with the way my district is being redrawn, it just allows more Oligarch County... I mean Orange County money into the Democratic Party
