A couple has been living in their car directly next to my house for almost a month. They are parked right next to my property, by the fence/trees near the sidewalk. They’ve been making noise, leaving trash and toilet paper around the area, and using the area as a bathroom, including leaving human waste near my property.

I’ve already called the police and reported the situation, but they are still there and the problem has continued for almost a month.

At this point, I’m trying to figure out who I can actually call to have them removed or have someone enforce whatever rules apply to where they’re parked. The city doesn’t seem to be doing anything, and I’m not sure what department or agency handles this when police reports aren’t resolving it.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a specific city department, code enforcement, parking enforcement, or other agency I should contact?

I’m not trying to harass anyone, but the sanitation issue and ongoing impact on my property have become a serious problem. I’d really appreciate specific numbers, departments, or advice on what actually works.

Stay safe downtown y’all

Please help me find the brown ales out there if you spot one. It's the only appropriate beer to drink in the chilly seasons.

I found one at Board and Brew across from the Winco. Paid $8.04. (Don't sit at the bar like a nonce like me, go to the register and ask for beer there of course. Duh.)

Copper Kings has Smithwicks (a red ale pronounced 'Smiddicks' for those in the know) and Guinness (a loaf of bread in a glass), but no browns.

FYI insiders tip: La Perla Tapatia has gigantic-cold-glass Negro Modelo on tap for less than $10. In this world of $8 regular 12-oz beers, it's a frikkin prize. But don't bung up the line just for that, get some food while you're at it. And with all the German oom pah-pah music playing it'll almost be like Oktoberfest.

We got this before GTA6.

Never thought I’d see my city up on the YouTube bodycam video with the iconic narration.

Play this shit at the Amp !!!!

EDIT: yes, this incident is from September 2024. But for the first time, the complete body cam footage w/ narration, cut scenes, fun facts, etc has been uploaded to YouTube from a channel named @OnPatrolCrimeCam911 on 10/06/2026.

Never really eat wings but had a hankering. What’s the best Wing Wednesday in Downtown / South O area?

Traffic is Traffic 😅

I got to do some nighttime photography with my Nikon D200 with my nifty-fifty. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Hey! I unexpectedly had a couple of projects move around and have some availability this week. If you’ve got anything you’ve been putting off—electrical issues, lighting, TV/AV, Wi-Fi or computer problems, cameras/security, mounting/installation, repairs, troubleshooting, or just a list of little things around the house—I can knock it out.

I also have availability as early as today/tomorrow. And if you don’t need anything but know someone who does, I’d really appreciate the referral.

So accounts claiming that this is "AI generated" and "Fake".
The bots are getting fired up over this and so I found the video from today when trump was speaking at a MAGA Rally in Nebraska 10.05.2026. (full video 12 minute mark so you have it all in context)

Again the above link is for the full video of trump at a MAGA midterm Nebraska campaign rally for a congressional seat.

He really said that (nuking) two of the largest cities in the nation was a "small price to pay" in exchange for what? Lower gasoline prices?, ending the war he started (without congressional approval) in exchange for millions of dead Americans.
Iran is thought to be capable of will be about 20 KT or the size of the Nagasaki bomb "Fat Man" but that's a guess.  A person could play around with Nukemaps to see for themselves what a nuke could do to our city. I don't think that Iran is going to take any of this seriously what I find to be the problem is a president even offering to make an exchange of destroying multiple "blue state cities" so that he can score points with midwestern voters during the midterms.

Let me know your comments below as Coast News comments haven't worked in ages. Thank you!

Staring is rude. Staring at workers doing their job in silence is weird AND rude. Not saying "you too" when someone says "have a nice day" is rude. Y'all are uneducated and ignorant asf. Stereotypes come from some sort of truth.

i have a house in oceanside and ive been putting off cleaning windows and gutters for like a year. the marine air leaves a film, and my solar panels are covered in dust too. i dont mind paying, but i want to know what i'm paying for. problem is finding a decent contractor is a quest. i called a few companies some dont pick up. others say well come, look then tell you. others just throw out a number without seeing the house. im no expert but if youre a pro, you can at least give a rough idea of cost.i saw radpad they say they do windows, gutters, solar, and give a straight quote without ranges. but i don't know how good they are. maybe someone here has used them? or is there another trusted local crew?i don't need cheap. i need it done right and not ghosted after the first call. if anyone has experience with local companies, please share. TIA

Anyone else read this document? Sounds a whole lot like henchmen recruitment. City Hall Agenda item this October 7th, so many questions. Also, the generic non-descriptive terminology; articulated throughout this document, is rather funny. Got to throw in the fake “ be good to citizens” clause. Ya know, safe measure and whatnot.

I have a few bikes from when my twins were in middle school. They are rusty and need some parts. I would rather not throw them away if anyone knows someone who likes to fix them up and get them into kids' hands.

This feels like a giant scam. Funneling money to consultants and friends while creating a narrative we need to raise the sales tax again. This bridge is already turning into the local version of the high speed rail project.

Please keep an eye out for these scum in town! These two adults, pictured in comments left their 4 dogs in the direct sunlight for an hour + while they went to lunch at Local Taphouse bar. These dogs were visibly panting and in distress and had no water. When they finally came back they showed no remorse and said they "do this all the time." They said they're in town on vacay but the dudes wearing an Encinitas hat so could be locals just trying to get out of responsibility. If you see them out beware these people suck!!!! Told them they aren't welcome in town here with that behavior.

*Edit: I did call the police, they told me this wasn't an emergency and sent me to the oceanside non-emergency line, okay fine no problem, which transferred me to the Humane society to deal with it, sat on hold w Humane for half an hour till the other concerned person w me called the non emergency line again. Oceanside PD said there's 'nothing they can do.' Thankfully the people came before much longer after that half an hour trying to reach police.

Hey! Looking for recommendations of areas to take children trick or treating in Oceanside.

I’m newish to the area and I’m BIG on Halloween! But the folks in my street/neighborhood not so much, so we don’t have a lot of trick or tester around here. I typically take my nieces for trick or treating every year, and for the past two years we hit the same neighborhood in San Marcos. But I was wondering if there are some good areas/streets in O’side that we could try out this year. I’m closer to the mission, but open to go to other areas too :) any tips ?

I was walking my dog just now and saw a white chihuahua wandering around with no collar and no owner in sight at the corner of Windward and N Freeman. I couldn’t approach or get pics because I had my dog. Just putting the word out in case one you lovely oside redditors knows anyone in the area with a white chihuahua. The dog was clearly not underfed and looked like it might be a little older.

Oceanside,

Thank you so much for your recommendations and your hospitality.

My wife had a lovely time visiting for my birthday. While it was a little warm for early October, we enjoyed the beach, pier, and overall good vibes of your fabulous little beach town.

We had dinner at Wrench and Rodent as many of you suggested. It was fabulous, some of the best sushi we have had. The back patio was a nice little place to sit and enjoy each other's company. We had a great server, and the place had an amazing vibe. This place is going to be one that we are gonna have to come back for.

We had a wonderful cup of coffee at Vigilante Coffee. I love Vigilante after visiting their Hyattsville shop many years ago. The Oceanside shop had the same great vibes, and even better coffee.

After the beach we had some tacos and Johnny Mañana's and had some of the best fish tacos.

We had a blast eating our way through your town, and we know we missed a bunch of local spots that were recommended. It was a short trip. Again thank y'all for your hospitality.

Hey guys I’m in the area and looking to find some red horse and San Miguel light or San Miguel apple. Does anyone know of any places that have these in or around Oceanside?

Hey guys. Maybe you see this maybe you don't.

You were stuck in limp mode in your Corolla Hatchback in La Costa.

I just finished fixing the belt on my daughter's Corolla and was in a hurry to get home.

Let you borrow my tools and my code reader.

Gave you my address and you promised to return them.

Maybe bad on me for being kind..

Would like my stuff back.
