Ah, Hayward! I hate to admit it, but I love hanging out at the lesbian bars there. Reminds me of home, and not in a good way.
Wow inkleberry…wow
Now I feel ashamed (okay, only slightly) for bitching and complaining about people taking up two parking spots because they are too lazy to park between the lines, people dropping trash and hot bbq coals in the dog poop can (thankfullly BEFORE anyone had used it for it’s intended purpose, the liner was freshly changed), and those that are irresponsible pet owners and don’t use the can, for leaving their dog’s droppings all over the lawn strip.
Dang, isn’t there some way you guys can team up with another couple and move to nicer apr or condo or something in a better neighborhood?
Jebus. Why do you people live in places like this? Geezz.
There are much nicer places in the USA to live with no where near this level of Grrr.
Take my hometown here. For what you are paying in rent you could live like a king. Low crime, no real gang presence, and schools that actualy teach the kids.
Of course there is the matter of the -70[sup]o[/sup] winters, and the whole city closes at about 11 pm, save for the Wal*mart, and all the stores except grocery cannot be open before noon on Sunday, but hey. Soon the bars will be open till 2 am!
(Fargo, N.D. btw.)
Well, the nearby unincorporated parts of the county (like Fair Oaks) tend to concentrate the folks who can’t afford to live anywhere else on the Peninsula. RWC might be the “scummiest” city between Morgan Hill and San Bruno, but all that means in this area is that there are still houses you can buy here for $600,000.
But the downtown is very livable and will be immensly improved once they finish building the new retail/cinema complex on Jefferson between Broadway and Middlefield.
But enough about Redwood City. Back to the Father-Raping!
Yay! Father-raping!
Neighbors next door had a fight that went on for 2 days, nearly uninterrupted. Battle of the speed freaks. Finally, they passed out, and are now quiet.
Once again this morning our water was like the piss stream of a 2 year old. Showering was like being spit on.
We go apartment hunting this weekend! Yay! Looking between Redwood City and Mt. View. Obviously the skanky parts of those towns are not on our lists. Soon we will have less of the father-rape, and I may actually be able to sleep an entire night through, instead of having stress-induced insomnia.
The best of luck in your search, inkleberry*. Welcome back to the 'nince, where normal insanity is predominant. And check out the new, enormous Whole Foods Market in Redwood City.
But what about the mother stabbing?
I know! AWESOME! When I lived there in 01-03, it was Albertson’s, and then an expanse of nothing.
Another factor in the move to RC push is that we intend to have our kid in the daycare center where I worked while in grad school.
Bah! Grand Forks is the place to be. You Fargoans just won’t give up the torch, will ya? 
Anyway, I was going to post pretty much this same thing. $1000 a month? TO RENT?!? Shit, you could get a $250k house up here for that. And that’s market price for up here. Like say, these. We don’t all live in tin shantys.
We have Starbucks, we can buy fresh fruit, we even have indoor plumbing!
Plus, the air is clean, no gangs, and maybe one murder a year. We have a world class arena and sports stadium that is host to international competitions. We’re inching toward the 20th century. And fast! Of course, the winter is a bitch, but with auto start and the rugged spirit of those you find in these parts, we make do.
Getting back to those Fargoans, just ignore them. They’re all nuts. N-U-T-Z nuts. 
Hey, duff ol’ buddy, don’t forget to mention all the new facilities and such that you all put in after your WHOLE CITY WAS UNDERWATER. I seem to recal that Fargo stayed pretty dry during all that…
And we have Two Starbucks here.
Meh, we had towels at the time. We should get together next time one of us is in the other’s city.
If you like Starbucks, the downtown shopping area in San Leandro has 2 - one next to the Taco Bell, and one inside the Safeway on the other side of the parking lot.
I was born and grew up in Hayward. I lived just off of Tennyson and I can tell you at no time did I ever think of it as a “bedroom community”. Now I live in Mountain View which, suffice to say, is entirely different.
Around where do you live in Haywierd Inckleberry?
Cypress & Jackson. And boy-howdy, is it nothing like Mt View.
But soon, SOON, we live somewhere between Mt View & Redwood City. But not EPA.
I fully support your decision to move out inckleberry. If you don’t live in the hayward HILLS you should get the hell out of there.
That said, there is one point of interest that you may want to check out since you are already in the neighborhood. IMHO the best burgers in the entire galaxy are served at Val’s Burgers on C street in hayward. Its kind of a 50’s diner type place. Try the milkshakes as well. Every time I go visit my parents I get a burger from Val’s; the place is a force of nature.
Anyways, hang tight and keep the spirits up. Believe me I know what you’re going through.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
YOU CHEAP BASTARD PIGFUCKING WHORES!!
We are now on day 3 without adequate running water, and sometimes no water at all. The manager has not been answering the phone or the door, despite the fact that legally she MUST be available during such emergenies, nevermind that it’s posted office hours.
We have left several very stern voicemails, written a terse complaint letter, and left messages for our lawyer.
BUT WE DID NOT APPRECIATE HAVING TO COLLECTIVELY BATHE AS A FAMILY IN THE SAME BATH WATER THIS MORNING. NOR DID WE APPRECIATE HAVING IT TAKE A HALF HOUR FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING BATHTUB TO FILL.
I am VERY close to taking a steaming dump in the pool, or perhaps on the manager’s welcome mat. Not a jury in the world who’d convict me.
FUCKING NEARLY_BANKRUPT, TAX-LIENED SLUMLORDS! WE WILL SUE THE EVERLOVING CRAP OUT OF YOU.
:mad: :mad: GRRRRRRRRR! :mad:
Damn. I bet you could get a “7 On Your Side” piece out of this (do they still do those?). Seriously, public humiliation of slumlords is the way to go.
I’ve been seriously thinking about something similar.
Val’s Burgers! A+ Number One Double Good!
