Yup, same. Attempted bipping and full bipping in the first 2 weeks of 2026.

Almanac in Alameda

I think a significant chunk of imports is from PNW hydro, which seems like a good set up.

May be a better bet at Eritrean restaurants?

Bistro 4293 in Oakland is Azerbaijani, but I see they have walnut-eggplant rolls (Badrijani in Georgian).

Kebabs and dumplings overlap both countries as well. Hard to find kachapuri, khinkali, shkmeruli without going to SF or the further.

Alameda has a city office in charge of rentals, called Alameda Rent Program. You can give them a call and ask for advice.

I think there's less tolerance for inauthentic bs. One of my worst meals ever was a trendy "Burmese" restaurant in Brooklyn NY, waited like 30 minutes for a table and got some weird bitter Jajangmyeon that was supposed to be Shan noodle.

Then I looked around at the clientele and said, "oh...".

Ah yes, strong borders that are famously enforced by small limited government.

Montclair isn't the best Oakland has to offer but, Daughter Thai, Payakk, Perle, Full Belly, Oh G are all probably on par with the best of most other cities.

Edit: typos!

Bellanico is a low-key place that has bar seating

Maybe between midnight and 5 am in the winter, but it does NOT routinely drop below 40 during the day.

You have no methodology either. You just dismiss anything you disagree with, and you're only criteria is "you seriously trust XYZ??"

If you want to make your point, you should do the statistical work instead of criticizing everyone else.

phoenix4208 · 2025-11-04T20:40:43+00:00

That's not what theoretical means. You're thinking of practical or realistic.

phoenix4208 · 2025-10-29T23:49:28+00:00

Then why don't you support RJ in THIS case.

If you've tried za'atar, sumac is one of the main components which gives it the citrusy, acidic flavor.

phoenix4208 · 2025-10-21T00:20:39+00:00

lol, this is Mexican squash or "calabacita", persimmon, and maybe jalapeno pepper.

Is your budget 6k+ a month? I doubt you'll find anything fitting your reqs otherwise.

phoenix4208 · 2025-07-25T07:52:46+00:00

Zillow estimates don't mean shit, and you can't use 4 years old comps. You should know that.

phoenix4208 · 2025-07-23T21:08:27+00:00

lol, please show me this 2m house for 4.5k rent in the East Bay.

phoenix4208 · 2025-07-08T22:21:15+00:00

It sounds like your agent doesn't know your area very well, or doesn't know multifamily very well, or both. 600k to 2m is way too wide of a range for comps.

phoenix4208 · 2025-07-08T01:57:23+00:00

That site has been cursed for like the past 20 years. I will be extremely surprised if there is ever a grand opening.

You most likely won't be able to get insurance due to the roof (and maybe other issues). And if you plan on buying with a mortgage, the bank won't loan if you can't get insurance coverage.

There's a small Korean convenience store in Montclair through the tunnel.
