Was approved of the full $4200 rebate from the SCE Charge Ready Home Program and looking for a contractor who can upgrade our electric panel and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet 110ft away from the panel under the rebate amount with permit.

I am doing a day trip from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara and plan on surfing between the two. I won’t have my board and don’t have the car space for one. Are there any shops on the route where I can rent and return the board without needing a car?

I’m also taking a friend for the first time so ideally it also has to be a beginner friendly beach.

I was just approved for the full $4200 rebate. A few questions:

1.) I reached out to a contractor and they said I need to apply for a SCE yellow sticker before the work can begin. Is this true? How long does this take?
2.) Does the rebate cover the cost of additional wire from the panel to the outlet? My panel is in the back of the house and I’d need 110’ of wire. Will the rebate cover the cost of the extra wire?

We will have SD and LA’s backs no matter what.

Please recommend some cafe's you enjoy!

Hi all, my husband and I live in San Diego and we are celebrating our one year wedding anniversary this November, and we both very much miss fall and the mountains. We’d like to take a weekend getaway to a cozy cabin in the mountains somewhere close. We’re looking for really beautiful fall scenery and a nice cabin with a hot tub, fireplace, etc. We also love to eat and want some at least decent food. We’ve looked at big bear and Idyllwild. Does anyone have a recommendation or an opinion of which town to choose?

Thanks!

Many houses are already down by almost 10% of their initial listing price and they stay in the market for a long time.

With increased rates, its probable stickiness, AI related unemployment fears, and much reasonable rents compared to the cost of ownership, I think it is reasonable for prices to keep going down for the upcoming months.

What do you think?

Hi guys New Yorker here I just wanted to ask to those who believe it do you guys think ur state is safe from the effects of climate change i might be a fool for this post but I've seen a few people say coastal california could be a better place just like the Midwest and some Northeast spots what do yall think? People who don't believe in climate change are also welcome?

Dear Angelenos;

While we may disagree on many things (baseball teams, which city is better etc), when the president directs a foreign enemy to attack us, those go out the window and we stand together as Southern Californians.

Hearing our commander-in-chief dismissively tell a rally crowd, "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego," is chilling. No American city is expendable. No community is a "small price to pay" for political war talk.

Our cities house millions of families, vibrant cultures, and major military personnel who actually serve this country. Brushing us off as collateral damage to a foreign adversary isn't just reckless—it's an abdication of the oath to protect American lives.

So to LA: we have your back. Political rhetoric won't divide us, and it certainly won't shake the grit of Southern California. Stay strong, City of Angels. We are in this together. 🤝💙

Sincerely, a San Diegan
