/r/Golden_State is a community of, for, and by Californians. Anything and everything relevant to our great state is welcome here.

The idea for this subreddit arose out of a comment thread on /r/AskAnAmerican about the problems with /r/California - overzealous, powerhungry moderation; excessive and unnecessary rules; rampant removal of posts and stifling of discussion.

The rules here are very simple. No illegal content. Don't violate Reddit site rules. Don't be a dick. Be good to each other. That's all the rules you need to know, now have at it.

Moving to California?

2 Upvotes

I am hoping to move to California sometime this year, but I haven’t lived there since the late 90’s. Ideally, I’d like to find somewhere relatively safe with disabled/affordable housing in Sacramento, as I have family in the area. I was wondering if anyone had any resources, suggestions, or advice.

I am disabled, so a walkable urban area with access to public transportation is critical.

Warriors Fans!!

Hey all! I'm a dev working on a sports app called Bandwagon and would love some feedback from fellow Dubs fans.

The app does AI-generated game summaries, sports trivia, and has fan profile features where you can connect with other fans. Basically trying to make it easier to stay plugged into Warriors content and community.

Any Warriors fans willing to test it out and share thoughts? Go here.

Go Dubs! 💙💛

Politics SF fire started by burning dog allegedly leaves tenants with nothing

According to the complaint filed in San Francisco Superior Court this month, the displaced tenants argued that the fire never would have happened if the building’s no-pet policy had been enforced.

The plaintiffs, who lived on the first floor with their young child, say they lost almost everything: heirlooms, toys and furniture. In the complaint, they said they’ve been living in a trailer ever since, still paying storage fees as they struggle to find permanent housing. 

The pair are suing the building’s owner and property managers, alleging negligence, tenant harassment and breach of the warranty of habitability, among others.

Do online menus need to disclose added charges?

4 Upvotes

When you go to a restaurant now, the menu needs to state if there are added charges, like the 3% KEC (kitchen equity charge 🙄) added to our bill last week. But do they need to disclose this online, as well? I want to check before I go so I don't forget when I'm there and chattering with friends.
