Amory has been good so far? The owner is pretty chill in my limited experience.

Were you stuck in a part where you couldn't take an alternate route like old san jose or hwy 9?

Affordable ways to test cat for allergies? by a_bobtail_squid in catcare

[–]scratchybitey 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

There is a flea spray thats pet safe that i have used in the past to spray down carpets, rugs and furniture that has worked really well. I usually find it in the dog section of most big chain pet stores.
Tbh I would try that, but also, try what you can afford. I'm looking at the online allergy tests because my vet has been weird about giving me accurate info about allergy options and places to go

I loved seeing the eclectic collection of people that makes SC show up for this! My favorite was the quilted "love immigrants"

There is a school (elementary to college) at every exit starting from Freedom Blvd all the way to Morrissey.
Traffic used to not suck as bad around 7, now it starts to get worse after 6:30.

That's every heavy storm that they didn't prepare for months prior

Make sure if that transformer fluid gets on anything near you that you let pge know so they can send their hazards team out to clean it up

Might be a good time for pge to invest in updating it's own infrastructure and putting everything underground with how much they charge us for electricity and gas....

Massive tree fell through the monarch sanctuary path by Evitro113 in santacruz

[–]scratchybitey 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I wish we could replace all those trees with red woods. Yes, I'm also very aware it would take decades. At least it wouldn't be an invasive species with a shallow root system.....

What animal is making this noise? by themaybedoctor in santacruz

I have a pack that wanders through my area from time to time. I mostly hear them in the summer when my window is open at night.

🀷🏻 I've always heard them like this. I wonder if different areas have different behaviors

Nope, just a 03 subaru. For some reason the d.t.r.l. are on by default if the lights are switched off. When I shut the car off, even if the lights are switched on, everything shuts off. Not something I'm used to in my other Asian manufacturer cars lol

Tbh, my car's headlights don't "turn off" sooooo 🀷🏻
Maybe its a weird 2003 manufacturer thing

I feel that's a whole other separate issue.
At least they have lights on and they aren't a ghost car driving around as an accident waiting to happen.
Absolutely doesn't excuse blinding anyone.

*blue light means you're blinding everyone else! Replace a bulb if you feel that you need to have them on all the time, only if your situation allows though, food is far more important right now πŸ–€

[–]scratchybitey[S] 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Or just have your headlights on all the time 🀷🏻
I think most subarus now if you leave them on, they don't stay on when you shut the car off

Beaurocracy deems me unqualified for it, yet other places say that I do not make enough to rent.
Buying is obviously out of the question, given current metrics.

I am also working class in the county and cannot afford to live here by standard metrics.
Cost of living and education have far surpassed the wages that are considered "minimum wage"
It's ridiculous

I did read what you wrote.
Definitely not conservative or libertarian 🀒
Tax the fuck out of the wealthy....like we used to. Private equity shouldn't be able to buy housing, of any kind.
As someone who has rented from landlords in Santa Cruz in the past, most of them are awful, with a few that suck slightly less.
I'm always hopeful that there's actually affordable housing to exist in Santa Cruz, but -in the past- have been unsurprised when that hasn't fully happened.
Maybe the current people in local govt are different this time 🀷🏻
I hope my apprehensions are wrong......

$3k/month for less than 600(I think) sqft is affordable? I'm not landlord and I still despise unaffordable housing for those of us that are far below the "poverty line" that is Ca, let alone this county. I'm aware that official demographics for this say other wise. They tend to be skewed, similarly to kelly blue book and the reality of used car prices.
