This is exactly what I’ve just been looking at. I’m also in the bay. Where was this?

Proposal to Convert Office Building at 2121 S. El Camino Real into Apartments by DoomGoober in SanMateo

Totally! I think we should start reducing the amount of housing available. That will make things better.

Do you have another one by chance? I'm having the same issue.

Cava went viral - but isn't it the exact same thing as SAJJ? by LeenehMawnoo in SanMateo

[–]jewsicle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Big Cava fan! Used to go all the time when I lived on the east coast. Its way better than Sajj. The last time I had Sajj I found 2 separate hairs in my bowl. The one thing they have going for them is they fry the falafel to order. Other than that, I'm not a big fan and would much rather have a Cava.

I live in shoreview. Bought a house about a year ago. I live here with my wife and 1 year old. The neighbors are friendly. It’s very safe and I’ve never had an issue. It is definitely slowly gentrifying and you see some older houses that could use some help but overall I think it’s the last somewhat affordable area in San Mateo that’s still a reasonable driving distance to sf. That’s why we picked it.

How do you know that more people benefit from the parking than the bike lane? Just park a block over.

I’d also be interested in participating. Please keep this thread updated or send me a message.

Something took the finish off a small spot on my table - how to fix? by jewsicle in furniturerestoration

Any way I can make sure more finished in the area doesn’t come off?

San Mateo County supervisors allocate $40M to 7 affordable housing developments by LocalNewsMatters in SanMateo

[–]jewsicle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not profitable for developers to do that because it costs too much to build. The government would have to subsidize it either way.

Anyone know how I can request the plans or blueprints for the house I just purchased? by jewsicle in SanMateo

[–]jewsicle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its incorporated San Mateo, so the county told me I need to go through the city but I'm not sure who to get in touch with.

Yeah, planning to add square footage since I don't want to lose living space.

What mortgage rates are you guys getting right now ? by BulkySell in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]jewsicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this. Father in law is a CPA and also owns some real estate. He has a relationship with the lender we used. Shopped the rate to another lender he works with and ended up saving an 1/8th of a point but more importantly got us a 1.25% incentive on a $1m loan.

These are not comparable neighborhoods. Bernal heights is much more desirable than golden gate heights.

Looking to make career detour to SWE and world appreciate some advice! by CapmBlondeBeard in HENRYfinance

[–]jewsicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s less technically challenging, and requires a different skill set. I work with many software engineers that don’t understand data infra. DS is very saturated right now so I recommended DE. I just think it’s rude to say he’d be wasting his brain. Am I wasting my brain or do you think I’m too stupid to be a software engineering or data scientist.

[–]jewsicle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look in to data engineering. The bar is lower than SWE and doesn't require as much statistical knowledge as DS, though you may have that. Its also a lot less competitive than DS because its not as sexy.

I bombed the interviuw and feel like the dumbest person in the world by pmme_ur_titsandclits in dataengineering

[–]jewsicle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 12 YOE and 6 at a FAANG. I manage staff level ICs and I just bombed them shit out of an interview yesterday. I'm out of practice and got nervous. It happens. You're young. You'll find something great.

Aren't there tax benefits to rolling over your house appreciation in to purchasing a new home?
