I don't expect you to be able to relate to that as you weren't involved with parents and school communities during the time you lived here. I'd say there's likely as much, if not more, here because of relative density. In my experience, many more kids in parks here than when I take my kids to the park in Larkspur. More kids in the public library. More kids running between houses. Etc. I think it's a function of density. I'd consider Pacifica, Montara, Half Moon Bay...but here is fine too. I'd also move outta the area if my options were the East Bay or Marin. Previous Message My ass would be in Walnut Creek, Marin, or Burlingame so goddamn fast if I had kids (nit: I can't afford any of those places and so I'd just move out of the Bay Area altogether, which is what I did anyway). Previous Message ...in the city...a lot of the tech-bros have weeded out. They went to Marin, Dublin, Burlingame. Pre-kids, you'll still find a lot more tech folks. People in their 40s and above with kids, it kinda weeds out. Of the families we're social with on the block, maybe a third of them are tech related in employment. First responders, merchants, bar-tenders / owners and service, union labor, etc...with Tech also mixed it. But it doesn't dominate anymore. Previous Message Previous Message ...is an internet meme for a reason. Previous Message you claim to live in is very very entertaining to me. Previous Message Previous Message Loved biking that area back in ‘92 Previous Message Previous Message ….the sense that none of the manned checkout lanes are not staffed. Hearing of long lines and frustrated customers. I know the last time I went only one manned lane was open and the two entrances to the self-checkout sections had lines 5+ deep. I needed these car ramps to change my oil today so I went in line. Doesn’t WMT know that manning checkout lines rather than use the bodies for stocking is good for business. Otherwise, people just give up waiting in line and just leave their baskets? Same for the local Kroger where they have very few manned checkout lanes open. Eff this; I’ll just go to Publix where the clerks are at the start of the lane standing around practically begging for a customer to check out. Besides, my local Publix has a kick ass deli and bakery
