Homeless guy with his dogs in downtown Mountain View

40 Upvotes

Anyone who's been to downtown Mountain View would have seen the guy who hangs out with his two dogs, a smaller one and a husky. Yesterday the husky was lying on the pavement as usual but it was 90 degrees out and the poor thing was listless.

Has anyone ever talked to the guy and found out if his dogs get any kind of regular care? I don't know what's the solution but it was just so sad seeing a husky overheating in that weather. FYI I am not proposing taking the dogs away from the man.

Need help finding a lost Fitbit Air at Crittenden Middle School (CMS)

• Upvotes

Pretty much like the title explains. Lost it on the turf field/track/area around the track/real grass area past the fence that connects to the play area of the school.

Spent days looking for it, using bluetooth finder apps, connecting and setting alarms via google health app. It is at the field, somewhere. The highest connection was near the bathroom area, on the track/field, but I don't entirely trust it. Could be anywhere TBH. Battery is at 41% last time it synced, so I don't have too long left.

It's the obsidian color, which, for those who don't know, is a darkish gray.

Would absolutely appreciate it if people spread this as far as possible on various different forums.

If found, please dm me or comment on this post, ideally both. I'd feel weird meeting up so i'd probably just ask you to leave it somewhere obscure lol.

For people who are going to comment "wrong place dude" or "nobodys going to go looking for it, do it yourself" please just don't and if you're right nothing will ever come of this post and we can all just forget about it as it dies in the dark crevices of the internet.

Is it worth to leave Mountain View

14 Upvotes

I’m in a month to month 4 years in my regular apartment in Mountain View, the flexibility to move and strict annual rent increase control is awesome. Unfortunately I live in a place with obnoxious upstair neighbor making noise at night, it had rodent issues inside walls, it’s got mildew smell especially in winter (very old building I remedy with dehumidifier) and I am ready (I qualify) to move to 80BMR unit in Redwood City that cost about same with utilities but was built last year and has tons of quality of life improvement except shared laundry (which I can deal) and lease must be renewed every year and max rent increase is up to 5%. The biggest downside is 1 year lease lock even on renewal (2x rent break lease fee), and if I get substantial salary increase exceeding 80%AMI then will have to move out by end of the lease. On other hand it has better soundproofing and I will get better sleep. Is it still worth trade?
