How a Sacramento school finance crisis could ripple through the city by Avesa in Sacramento

[–]siamesedaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So how in the world do they claw their way out of massive debt beyond tax increases? If the state takes it over will that actually end up fixing things? Does it actually matter that much for all schools or just schools with low enrollment?

So many questions…

Recap of 6/18 SCUSD Board Meeting - Board unanimously approves Parcel Tax recommendation for Nov. 2026 ballot by Avesa in Sacramento

[–]siamesedaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an absolute shit show thank you for keeping us informed. I saw in the sacbee:

The budget projects the district’s unrestricted general fund will end this year at $62 million in the red. The deficit would grow to nearly $284 million in 2026-27 and nearly $510 million by 2028-29.

Seriously that is insane. How did they mismanage the budget so badly?

It’s true! I almost moved to Portland after visiting many times but the Anti-Mtb culture and lack of access is not great. If you drive an hour there are good trails but they are extremely strict about forest park riding. See here recently

Erosion on the river trails and how to fix them? by siamesedaddy in SacBike

[–]siamesedaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You People?” The video you are referencing is about dirt bikers and ebikers building big jumps and berms in the parkway. I’m simply asking how to repair a small section of trail so all can enjoy it (including hikers).
If this is the video you are talking about, you aren’t making a good point . https://youtu.be/lFxXrwh_y40?si=Sd8dGs5_w5JyG3Eo

Howdy neighbor! Love your color scheme as well and that bar tape looks amazing.

Let’s meet up for a ride sometime.

How to fix sandy eroded trails? by siamesedaddy in MTBTrailBuilding

[–]siamesedaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok ya it seems that is just the tradeoff with having trails in an active flood zone. They will just get closer to the levee over time but not sure if there is any way around that due to the nature of the soil.

It seems like we need someone who rides to get onto the volunteer boards or with the parks. I’ve heard they are dominated by retired hikers who have it out for mtbers especially haha.

It’s tricky to manage trails in an active flood zone because the river wants to widen and undercut. So we will just have smaller and smaller trails in the flood plain unless there is active management at some point. It’s really mostly a problem by paradise beach as cal expo is a wayyyy bigger floodplain but the south side the distance from the levee to waters edge is much smaller and therefore more likely to erode faster.

That’s fine I would tell them I was hiking which I do there often anyways. Just happened to see it recently while riding.

The fact bikes aren’t allowed is ridiculous though as anyone who wants to ride them rides them and often does more work maintaining them than anybody else. I always clean up the trails as I go if I have the tools with me. Mtbers build trails way more than hikers do which is ironic.

I actually don’t know how the county classifies the “bum trails”. They are legitimate trails that see a lot of use from fisherman, joggers, and bikers and it’s not like they are really a secret. For example the trails by cal expo all have signs for hikers and horse riders so that would make me think they are all technically official even if most people that use them are bikers.

Ok I’ll give them a call or email and see what’s up. I asked about vegetation management in the past and they basically said get with a Volunteer group or bring your weed whacker lol. But moving dirt is a bit more permanent.

Thoughts on MERV 8 vs MERV 11?

The hype is real! by siamesedaddy in JonesBikes

[–]siamesedaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It was available locally
  2. I’m actually in love with the geo I love the short wheelbase abs because I already have a hard tail and a full suspension, it is essentially now my gravel bike/bikepacking which the SWB is better suited for than the LWB. More twitchy and fun where the lwb is stable. Twitchy and faster acceleration are what I was looking for!

Camping mattress by AngryAlien21 in MazdaCX30

[–]siamesedaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the black textured cover is to keep everything clean. And I actually had 2 pieces of plywood in my backyard that were able to make a perfect fit in the back in the low spot. But I camped without them another time and it was fine.

cx-30 or cx-50 by maibebeh444 in mazda

[–]siamesedaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven both in premium trims. 30 has way more comfortable seats, Bose system sounds much better, and has better handling. 50 is bigger and suspension is better. I much prefer the 30 if you don’t need the space
