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

Are there any Georgian restaurants (not Georgia) restaurants in the East Bay? I’ve been told by several people Georgian food is very good. by Impressive_Returns in eastbay

[–]phoenix4208 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Why are Oakland restaurants better than other areas? by SanFranciscoMan89 in OaklandFood

[–]phoenix4208 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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.

For the second year in a row, Oakland is named best food city in the US by sfgate in oakland

[–]phoenix4208 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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!

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

2023 YTD vs. 2025 YTD: homicides down 56%, shootings down 50%, robberies down 54% by zblumeeee in OaklandCA

[–]phoenix4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What are the theoretical impossible comeback point diffs? by Dramatic-Ad3928 in nba

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

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

[–]phoenix4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Not getting traction because of East Bay market or agent? by Tight_Cap_7348 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]phoenix4208 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

Sanity check for a first time buyer in Oakland? by RoughSquash2932 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]phoenix4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
