I've been looking for a place to live for basically two months now. I have a decent job and I'm not in a bad financial situation, but I don't want rent to be a crazy % of my monthly income. Anyway, here's something I'm seeing:

There's a huge number of housing ads/landlords that basically expect that you're not going to be working from home. In my area (along the 15 & north of mira mesa) these are rooms in houses that are priced between 1000-1600 with multiple tenants. The ads will sometimes read "must be away from the home for work" or "no remote workers".

This seems kinda crazy to me. So that basically means that people who may be good renters but happen to have the luxury of working from home just don't have as many options?

Not all areas. Some. Looking forward to it. We plan to make Vietnamese beef stew and have a chill day on Sunday as this is when we expect the most rain.

Remember! Roads are always the most dangerous 30 minutes after rain starts. Dirt and oil pool with the rain. Super slick regardless of your tire quality, brakes, etc.

Enjoy. Have fun. Be safe. And keep it Paradise. :)

Just saw the news broadcast saying she's retiring. Almost 20 years on the local news. Congrats.

District leaders have advertised a fix to the plumbing of the School of Creative and Performing Arts in three successive bond measures dating back to 2012. Still, the school is facing leaks and water shutoffs and a fix is years away.

Where can I spend the night in San Diego airport? Or anywhere nearby? Just want to nap or have a quiet place to sit and work. Given the construction everywhere, a lot has changed.

When Leah Harris started her freshman year at San Diego State University, she was surprised to see how many students used artificial intelligence in their schoolwork.

“Everyone I know uses it,” she said. “I’d get in trouble in high school for that.”

New data show how widespread the use of AI is on California’s college campuses — and how mixed students’ feelings are about it.

More than 94,000 students, faculty and staff across the California State University (CSU) system filled out a survey about AI last fall. Other local universities, including UC San Diego and City, Mesa and Miramar Colleges, also participated.

Nearly 90% of student respondents at San Diego-based schools said they use ChatGPT. At the same time, 8 in 10 said they worry about AI negatively affecting creativity, privacy, the environment and job security.

Most San Diego students agreed AI will become an essential part of most professions. But just one in three respondents said their professors teach them how to use AI effectively.

Came across this today and figured I’d share in case it helps anyone else that has kids who are into or want to try out golfing!

There’s a program called Youth on Course where kids (6–18) can play rounds at local participating courses, driving ranges and indoor simulators for around $5 or less.

• Membership is free right now through Bank of America
• You don’t need a BOA account
• There are participating courses in San Diego, and more around SoCal

Looks like memberships are limited so probably worth checking out sooner rather than later.

Curious if anyone here has used it locally and which courses you’d recommend.

Looking to take my kiddo to some used bookstores stores (she is an avid reader). What are your guys favorite spots to go to?

Hello,

I recently enrolled into sdsu’s MBA program and I was wondering if the 43,000 cost of attendance was accurate, I was able to get a good amount of aid to shave off 29,000 for the first year. Would it be hard to find a room for 800 - 900?

I know I can look up events on Google and stuff but I want to find the more niche events like typically the ones you see on instagram and stuff but all in one place?? Also events geared towards a 20s audience + more so creative events.

That time of the year is coming up 🫣 does anyone know of any events that are happening to celebrate it or any deals for it? 👀

I am unable to make it to the La Jolla Half this year. If anyone is interested in doing it, I am able to transfer my registration over, & am willing to do so for $140 each given a name & email

Does anyone know some details about how the DL/ID is issued?

I passed my driving test yesterday and wanted to update my document. Because those status documents were all expired and I have the new one with me. However, the counter staff didn't allow me to do that.

I checked the ID status online and found it will expire in 2 months, do I still have any chance to update my status documents to extend the validity period of the my DL/ID? How can I do that if so?

Thanks
