Help filling out survey!
Hello! I am a high school senior in the Bay Area, and for my government/economics class, I was tasked to conduct a senior project on an issue in society. I decided to do my project on public transit in my home region the Bay! Your responses would deeply help me and strengthen my project.

You can take if you aren't from the Bay Area, (say the public transit isn't good because thats the whole point of my project :] )
4 shots fired inside Embark Apartments
Hey everyone, just wanted to put this on the radar for anyone living at Embark or in the immediate area.
There was a major incident recently where the police were called to investigate shots fired on the 2nd floor of building 1. According to the security guard, someone fired 4 rounds inside the trash room. One of the bullets actually went through the wall and into a neighbor’s bathroom. Thankfully, nobody was hit, but it’s a miracle no one was hurt.
What’s really bothering me is that Embark is supposed to be a "secure" building with fob-access only. Management is being extremely tight-lipped and won't confirm if the shooter was a resident or someone who managed to get inside from the street.
Is it normal for management to completely stonewall on details like this? I feel like we have a right to know if the person who did this still has a key to the building. Stay safe out there.
Hardwood Floor Install
We are looking to replace our carpets with hardwood floors. We were quoted $7K for 900 sq ft at Lowe’s for LVP.
Just sanity checking before I go this route. Are there any recommendations of good flooring shops in Fremont vs using Lowe’s, if it’s worth spending more for a specific type of floor, etc. since this is less than 1/4 of our home sq footage we still have a ways to go.
We have 3 dogs, so I really want the carpet gone lol. Thanks very much for any input!

Mission Valley quoted me $4000 for a single tooth removal.
EDIT: Mission Valley Vet, to clarify.
I absolutely love the staff and doctors there and I don't believe they have any say in quotes they get from the surgeon(s) they have contact with. But i just cannot wrap my head around this pricing. My pets have never needed a surgery before so maybe I'm out of the loop on inflated pricing but does this sound normal??
If you have recommendations for any veterinary oral surgeons who may have lower pricing, i would greatly appreciate hearing them. I want my baby to get the help she needs but it just sucks so much how expensive it is.
Rats or mice.

Bay Area discord group for people with anxiety/depression/loneliness
Hello! I created a discord for people that are in the same boat as me either dealing with depression, loneliness or anxiety and are looking to make some friends that they can relate to. We had our 1st meet up yesterday in SF and it was an awesome experience and definitely something new for me to step out of my comfort zone. We are now planning our 2nd meetup on 5/3 in Oakland and plan on doing them in different cities so everyone has a chance to show up and make friends. So whether you're shy, are feeling lonely, need some support, or are struggling to make friends in the Bay Area please send me a DM if you're interested in joining our Discord community. We would love to meet new people and support each other!
Where to find busch light apple
Curious if anyone has spotted busch light apple around town or close to it. Heard they were supposed to be available today but I've yet to find a store with them in stock.
Looking to adopt kittens?
im fostering these baby kittens in Fremont and i was hoping someone on this subreddit was looking to adopt 2 kittens:) please share if you know someone who wants to adopt :)
they are bonded so prefer to be adopted as a pair. when i tell you they are bonded, they seriously are besties and do everything together, it is sooo cute 🫶
a little about them: they come from a litter of 5 who were previously fostered together, so are very socialized with pets and humans. they love playing together and wrestling as kittens do, and love a good play sesh. they are both curious and friendly and inseparable.
here are links if you wanna know more

PSA - Public Safety Warning: High School Senior “Assassins” Game
From the PD's Facebook page. Whoever's kids are trying to play real-life Call of Duty, please don't. This is the worst kind of misunderstanding with police interaction that could draw an overreaction from the police.
==========
Public Safety Warning: High School Senior “Assassins” Game
The Fremont Police Department would like to warn high school students and their parents about the potential risks associated with a popular activity known as “Assassins.” This game is a high school tradition in which 12th-grade students use toy guns (for example, water guns or Nerf guns) to target another student. This game usually takes place off campus, throughout the City of Fremont, and is also occurring in many other cities in the nation.
While the game involves only fake weapons, it has become a safety concern and can lead to high-risk patrol and traffic stops. Some students have chosen to use toy guns that look realistic to the public and to our officers, and the behavior associated with this game has caused public concern due to the belief that participants are carrying real weapons and acting suspiciously. This creates a dangerous situation and diverts emergency 9-1-1 and police resources, since officers take every report of gun violence and suspicious firearm use seriously.
Please remember:
• Suspicious activity, including trespassing, carrying an item that resembles a firearm, and reckless driving, may result in law enforcement contact, citation, or arrest
• Students may not bring imitation or toy weapons onto school campuses
• Injuries or damages resulting from children or youth participating in this game could result in financial liability for their parents
We are communicating with the Fremont Unified School District regarding these safety concerns. We strongly discourage students from participating in this activity and encourage parents to speak with their students about the risks involved.
Thank you for helping us keep our city safe.
