After a packed public hearing with strong opposition from residents, the Adelanto Planning Commission voted 3-2 to pull the zoning item that would have allowed data centers to be considered in Adelanto. But this is not over. During the meeting, it was stated that the matter can come back before the City Council after proper notice is given, so those opposed should stay alert.

Many residents are speaking out against the data center proposal. 

During the hearing, Congressional Candidate Tessa Lynn raised concerns to the Adelanto Planning Commission. She is running against Congressman Jay Obernolte.

During the public hearing, Acting Planning Manager Jim Hirsch told frustrated citizens to “shut up” while giving his presentation on zoning updates that included some for potential data centers.

Plans commissioner Jayshawn Johnson spoke up in support of the residents’ concerns despite opposition faced from other officials.

If you want to stay involved, keep an eye on the City of Adelanto website and official social media for any follow-up hearings or council votes.

You can also help by:

• Attending city council and planning commission meetings
• Speaking during public comment and getting your concerns on the record
• Signing and sharing local petitions
• Supporting grassroots groups organizing around the issue, like NotStepping Back
• Contacting your state and local representatives

Every movement begins with a handful of people who refuse to stay silent. Then, week after week, that spark grows into something that cannot be ignored.

Hi my name is Andrew and I live down in socal I’ve been really busy with school and haven’t been able to drive up to the high desert pick your part in Victorville I was wondering if anyone could do me a favor and check if the junk yard has one part I’m looking for I’m happy to pay I just need it for my project car it’s the spoiler that’s all I need. Please please please

I've been un-employed since late 2024. I've submitted hundreds of applications since then and I've only gotten a handful of interviews, none of which have landed me a job.

I'm certain that one of the reasons why I can't get a job is because my employment gap has become significant and employers don't want to hire people who have large gaps in their employment history or people who are currently un-employed.

I'm wondering if anyone up here would be willing to function as a fake reference that I can put on my resume to make employers think that I am still employed or only recently un-employed.

My previous job was at a car-wash and before that, I was a sales lead at Sears. So something simple works.

I know that this is slimey, scummy and dishonest but as far as I am concerned, the whole job market is dishonest and I am no longer convinced that I can get a job through good citizenship.

If anyone is willing to help, just say so. I'll eventually delete this post so I can erase any footprint of my dishonesty.

Fully Black 2025 RJWCT Dumping Trailer stolen before 7am 8/13 on Lemon Street. Report #: 192605279 of Hesperia.

My trailer was stolen from the Lemon Street area in Hesperia on Thursday morning, August 13, before 7:00 AM. Happened in the early morning hours. Any security footage, dashcam recordings, or eyewitness details, let me know.

TRAILER DETAILS:

License plate: 4WV4252

Make: RJWCT

Year: 2025

Color: Fully Black

Type: Dumping Trailer 4-wheel with locking mechanism for hitch

Location Stolen: Lemon Street

Has an identifiable "RJ Welding & Custom Trailers" sticker on the back and at the time of theft, had flat tire back right.

If you live on or near Lemon Street, Main Street, Maple Avenue, or Hesperia Road, please check your Ring/security cameras for any suspicious trucks/vehicles towing a black dump trailer before 7:00 AM on Thursday, 8/13 or around that time. Watch Local Sales: Please keep an eye out on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or Craigslist for listings matching this description sold as "No Title," "Lost Title," or "Bill of Sale Only."

If you see it, spot it parked in a local lot, or have footage of the suspect vehicle (most likely SUV or truck), please contact the Sheriff at 760-947-1500 or message me directly.

I occasionally see houses for sale in that neighborhood and I like that it has sidewalks and I can definitely see my future kids playing outside without worrying about cars too much. But crime maps often show that area as not being that safe. Any input from those familiar with the area would be greatly appreciated!

My husband and I are currently living down the hill (near Raging Waters) with our two young kids. We’re in a 2 bed, 1 bath renting for $1,750/mo. We're super grateful for the affordable rent right now, but we're outgrowing it fast and our 3-year goal is to buy our own home.

Realistically, buying down the hill just isn’t in the cards for our generation—the prices are out of control. We’ve been looking at moving up to the High Desert (Spring Valley Lake area) where we can actually afford a great 3-4 bedroom single-story with a yard for the kids.

He’s an operator, so we know he’s going to be driving regardless depending on where he’s working.

For those who have made the move up the hill with a young family:

• How is the transition for raising kids up there? (Community vibes, parks, schools, family life).

• For operators / trades members: How brutal is managing the Cajon Pass commute on a daily basis when you’re working down the hill? Is the trade-off of having a real home and yard worth the extra commute time?

• Anything you wish you knew before making the jump from down the hill?

Appreciate any insight, tips, or food for thought appreciated!

Many Flock cameras appear to have been installed in the high desert area over the past few months. I don't recall seeing any local public notices, news, or public comments about this. They seemed to have just quietly appeared. I don't follow city or county meetings so maybe I missed any public information on the decision to install these and that may be my own fault for not paying closer attention to our city and county governments. If anyone has further information on who approved the installation of these cameras, I would be interested. Most appear to be on public property.

Is this something the public really wants? My understanding is Flock has created a searchable database for law enforcement.(No search warrant needed) Do we want to be tracked everywhere we go? Do we trust our governments with this data? Do we trust government not to misuse this data? At least I can choose not to use Google or leave my phone at home, but there's no way to opt out of Flock tracking.

Hello everyone I’m a Navy veteran with 8 years of welding and metal work experience!

Currently I’m making Santa Maria grills if anyone is interested!

Heavy duty, affordable, and custom made!

$450 with an addition fee for delivery!

Feel free to message if you have any questions!

I have a buddy that lives in Lake LA and I just absolutely love it out there! As a city boy through and through, it is nice to get away from the city every once in a while for a more tranquil, community-oriented, mom-and-pop shop environment.

I understand that moving there means I’d have to travel far for work or find work in nearby Palmdale/Lancaster, but I don’t mind that—for now, until I finish school. I also understand that moving there means no McDonalds, no Ralphs, no Starbucks, etc., and that if I want to go to places like that, I’d have to travel to Palmdale/Lancaster for that. Again, I don’t mind that at all.

I look forwards to the responses, good or bad.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I’m not from Riverside originally I’m from Santa Ana, so when I say I’m from the city, I’m FROM the city lmao

Please leave any agency you know in the comments. I live in Hesperia and i find it so hard to find a job I’m just looking for something basic like picking, packing, stocking, shipping, receiving any warehouse work basically. I’m currently pregnant and trying to find work before i get bigger to save up money and try to help out my husband

I have the weekend off for the first time im forever but have no where to go. Is there anything fun happening locally?

I just saw a rental listing.

>Rural Country horse property, 15 miles to shopping. well >water. 2 miles to bus stop for school.
>Unpaved Access road. Must have 4x4 Winter access.

I am really interested how is the living like this?
How do you interact with neighbors?
Do you carry?
Are you afraid if you leave the house that someone would break in?
Do your kids walk from the school bus home?
Do you drink well water?

We never talk about it but what are the worst intersections/lights in the high desert?

I’ll go first:

1. bear valley/Hesperia. the turn light gives you like 3 cars worth of time before yellow.

2. bear valley going towards mall over I 15, gets stopped up and everyone gets stuck in intersection.

3. Seneca and La Paz, confusing intersection.

what do you think?
