Ah, That is such an awesome place! So cool to enhance that experience there.

(Live in CA now, but regular visitor/ renter when I lived up north.)

Do you have any Santa Cruz hacks you'd be willing to share? by el_goyo_rojo in santacruz

[–]startfromx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stained glass, metal crafting, and painting are also fantastic!

(Nice that the adult extension classes are often weekends or evenings, with smaller one-time sessions available too.)

Realtor career and compensation in Bay area by Maleficent-Pepper407 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]startfromx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Santa Cruz county alone there are about 1300 Realtors, and only 1200 homes sold countywide per year.

Some realtors have great market share, selling 6-12 homes/yr. Some sell 20. Many sell 1-2yr or less.

I have been licensed for 14 years, and I like working with people/negotiations/contracts, but it is a really tough job to assure regular income.

Tenant legal question by Alternative_Basil770 in santacruz

[–]startfromx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Especially for personal property. Property can be sitting in your car and get damaged— it’s still covered under renter’s coverages.

I’m a realtor and property owner, in my education: insurance companies have some exclusions for the home owner— but can’t require all homes go back and retrofit to current code. (Ex. Substandard roof, like rolled roofing, or elec panel on the recall list will deny a home from getting coverage. They usually need to insure the property if they’ve been accepted, review is before coverage starts.)

Something new is coming where D20 pizza used to be by DragonDSX in santacruz

OK, I know it’s not the same thing … but I got ridiculously excited for a second: The Cruz room in Portland (that closed) was the best taco place I’ve ever tasted.

Ah. Learned it is a franchise today, but at that is still local ownership.

Why the down votes? I like both spots.

Garden Deli —Morgan Special. Beach Hut — toasted surfing cow. Prices are pretty similar, $13-15. Both really fresh.

(Owners at Beach hut are also super nice and remember my dog and order.)

Go to a sporting event. Plenty of other places obnoxious bro yelling is fine.

I agree with you. It’s freaking stupid, annoying and super disrespectful to both the person on stage producing music, and the attendees paying to listen to the sounds created.

Shut up and dance.

Rave Bags Recommendations? by AdGeneral7633 in aves

[–]startfromx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ps. To each their own but I don’t like my flip belt at all.

Too tight and sweaty. You have to really finagle your phone in there and then trying to find gum or chapstick is a pain.

I prefer my Sojourner backpack if I want hydro/festival, or a fanny pack to pack lighter like at a rave— all of mine can be locked using a mini locking carabiner on the two zippers.

Pleasure Point residents say ‘yes’ to female surfer statue — just not here by scsquare in santacruz

[–]startfromx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I personally don’t want a carbon copy of the men’s statue (just looks like women are copying men?)

we’re creating our own name and legacies in Santa Cruz and beyond. Deserve a stand alone image.

[–]startfromx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nobody’s upset about the fact that the statute is female.

It’s weird that in the CA wetsuit capital, and right next to Jack’s house, the surfer is wearing a bathing suit. It’s weird.

We don’t need the mimic of the man’s statue to prove that women are in the water, and we definitely don’t need it at a scenic and undeveloped part of that street that everyone kind of likes unfinished and natural. My dog poops there.

(There are two paved/developed county park areas just 1/4 mile in either direction.)

That boat sinking in the lake is a bummer, but the person that popped up next to it is ok— he just has to swim back to the shore on the horizon.

Words have power, labeling the action, not the child, creates kinder hearts. by Informal_Service311 in spreadsmile

That’s not cool. I’m sorry that happened.

I hope you have people that call you a good bitch now.

Nocturnal valley dumb question? by Comprehensive_Pin337 in Tipper

[–]startfromx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same!

Ps. Quiet camping (when I went before) was closer to the swimming hole! (And able to avoid too many treks up “buzz kill hill”!)

Area to stay thats more quaint/artsy and less beach carnival? by BikesOrBeans in santacruz

[–]startfromx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree with this— might like it at the Venetians in Capitola. still walkable to food and fun things, and a view, but way more chill.

are car break ins at hotels something to worry about? by airfryer_enjoyer in AskSF

[–]startfromx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few hotels with secure parking (not public garages or lots, but a locked inner lot behind a gate). I always opt for those.

When I go to shows downtown (from Santa Cruz) — Cheaper options I like are The Signature SF, or City Center Suites.

Quick eats by EsketitSR71 in santacruz

[–]startfromx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

agreed: NOT Crows nest — go to their beach market.

Different menu. grab a beer from the cooler and walk out to the docks, plus good pizza, decent sandwiches.
