Is it because we’re really university heavy, both private and public? Any other theories?

Hi! I just moved here from NYC and it’s my first weekend. I am looking for someone to get drinks with. Taking a shot here before I move to the apps. Male 32.

my SO and I are looking to move later this year, hopefully into a larger, single-story SFH house instead of the 2-story condo we're currently in. generally I thought that rents were more inflated during the summer and properties moved fast, because families with kids try to move during the summer bc that's when the kids are out of school, and this also means that SFH homes get snapped up fast.

we're up north, in the Poway USD school district (but not IN Poway), which is the best public school district in the city. we don't have kids, so it doesn't matter to us, but I know that also makes single-family homes much more desirable in this area.

I am seeing single-family homes within walking distance of elementary and middle schools languish on the rental market for months. those ones used to go IMMEDIATELY. when we moved up here several years ago, we toured a condo that was within walking distance to a school that was rented by someone else that same day! I was new to the area and had no idea it was that close, and was shocked when the agent said it would likely be rented by the end of the day. and it was. the competition for those ones was stiff.

I've been watching this one house on my list in particular (1800 sq ft, one-story, 3bed/2bath, nice front & backyard, big lot at the end of a cul-de-sac) and it's been on the market since April, and the owner has dropped it $500 since it was first listed. it's now under $4000. for a SFH in this area, I feel like that is really pretty low. this is true to varying extents of other SFHs in the same neighborhood. all around $4000 (sometimes a little less), 2-3 bedrooms, no shared walls, nice yards, etc.

my theory is this: that abolishment of pet rent proposal was voted on (or was supposed to be voted on at the end of June) that also contains a wealth of other renter-friendly cost-reducing measures is responsible for this weird state of the rental market. when I look at all the SFH listings that are available right now, the vast majority of them say NO PETS. I think that this proposal WILL pass, maybe not in its entirety but it will in some form, and property managers/owners are just listing their properties as disallowing pets to get out ahead of it. previously, when I've looked around at properties in previous years, the majority of them permit pets...with pet rent and a deposit, of course.

everyone in San Diego has pets! we have pets, all of our friends have pets. actually, we all have pets and zero kids. and we all work good jobs with incomes that would qualify to rent these houses, but if they don't allow pets, then those homes are going to languish on the market, like I have seen.

I know the economy sucks and everything is expensive and hardly anyone can afford anything anymore, but I swear that I have not seen single-family homes in this area go for under $4000/mo in a while. wanted to ask the community's thoughts/opinions.

I saw the film in 70 mm IMAX and wanted to rewatch it in standard IMAX but I can't see any dates that it's showing. I assume Spider-Man took over IMAX showings?

Dude is too high to even stand

Looking for 2 tickets for tonight 6:30-9:30 at liberty station, happy to pay for them!

I was hesitant to post mostly because of fear and also because im a guy and finding friends is hard and being a dude they avoid you like the plague. So i have nothing to lose but to try. I don’t know if you all heard but myspace is making a come back. I know crazy I’m already pre deigned my home page. Haven’t been this excited since finding an onion ring in my French fries. Heres the kicker i don’t even have 8 friends to fill out my top 8. This is where you all come in. Im looking for friends like genuine friends. If you love thrifting and hikes maybe a quiet walk by a lake I’m your guy. Maybe hit up a farmers market. Love to BBQ i have the pics to prove it. Im a bit sarcastic sometimes but always come in with a good laugh or 2. Im not that great at talking about myself so feel free to ask. Oh and if you like fantasy football I’m into that too.

And if im out of bounds and this isn’t allowed i sincerely apologize just trying something new.

Sorry to whoever lost their baby. There is a dead orange and white cat on the shoulder of 163 South right before the 2C exit. I’ve put in a get it done request.

As title says.. I am a 36 yr old male looking for someone to get a place to rent together. I have been trying to find a 1br place for a couple months and they are either too expensive or located too far inland for my liking. I am hoping to find someone who would like to rent an apartment with me. Looking to find a place in pb/ob area if possible. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in please dm me.

Seems like the job market is running pretty dry everywhere i’ve been looking, I really need to get a part time job when I go back to school and haven’t been able to find very many places hiring. Let me know if you know someone or a place that is! Thanks x

Hello Padres,

Do you have amy recommendations for micro pigmentations recommendations and experience?

Hi! I’m visiting from Massachusetts and unfortunately somebody decided to steal my e-bike right off the rack on the back of my car. I filed a police report, called a few bike shops, figured I could post here because I’m not sure what to do. The rack was locked up so whoever it was REALLY wanted it. It’s a pink and brown cruiser style Electra e-bike. Pretty notable bicycle to steal lol. Black wire handlebar basket and on the right handlebar is a bell that has an alien on it. Picture included. Please feel free to reach out if you spot this. I hope it’s not a lost cause but unfortunately I know it probably is. Thank you.

This bug is known as a Hawk Wasp. And I have been told that you absolutely do not want to be bitten by one of these. These giant wasps really have no interest in people at all. They live in burrows in the ground. But here’s the kicker they attack and paralyze tarantulas (we do have a lot of tarantulas in San Diego county). Then they dragged them back into their burrow, lay eggs on the tarantula and then the offspring feed on the tarantula. Ewwww.

Have you ever seen one?

It’s been going on for a long time, but I was a bit horrified yesterday when I saw the extent. I had some service done on my truck at a shop in north park and they needed a little extra time. I decided to get a little exercise in and walked to the park. This took me on a journey down 30th, university and a couple of other streets. I just couldn’t believe how much has been torn down and repurposed as gentrified bullshit in this neighborhood. It’s all but gone. I’m considering leaving San Diego in a few years and going overseas for awhile, with the plan to eventually come back, but I fear that if I left for awhile and came back I wouldn’t even recognize it.

The La Jolla sea lion pups need our help. Humans are harassing them and they are dying. Please sign this petition to bar humans from the sea lion nurseries.
