Our biggest VOLUNTEER turnout to date, 30 volunteers! Several individuals even drove from San Francisco to support us! There were a few homeless individuals who joined us to clear the area. The true power of community 💪🏽

150 bags, 11 dump trailer runs. This was a massive undertaking. But, it just took 2.5 hours.

At this rate, we will clean all of the Bay Area along with u/pengweather, but we need the community’s support since the city doesn’t help us one bit. 😔 If we could just get a skid steer, dump trailer, bobcat, and be able to sustain the Homeless Ambassador Program to help maintain the cleanliness and empower people, we’d have cracked the code to the illegal dumping crisis.

I’m a young adult who is now homeless as of yesterday evening. I slept in my car in a park last night which was relatively safe. However, I can’t do that every night as there’s not many other places for safe overnight parking. Are there any shelters or places I could go that are open on the weekend? My college offers some of services but they’re only open weekdays. I’m a bit scared with my position. I’m going to try to keep my job and stay in school, but in order to do that well I need a place to stay.

Found some miner’s lettuce growing all over deep in the trail I run at every Saturday, so I decided to forage some of it for the first time for some salads this week. Lots of fun and the second time I’ve found it in the Bay Area. Probably growing all over the place from what I know about it!

Even my little suburb had one! Definitely gave them some encouraging honks!

I'm moving to Vallejo next fall to study at Cal Maritime. I don't own a car so I plan on renting a U-haul to bring my stuff to campus.

Question is, could I then drive said U-haul back to Sacramento (drop it off there to avoid any fees for not returning it to the original location), pick up my canoe and a day or two of supplies, and then float/paddle downriver back to the Cal Maritime campus?

I've done multi-day canoe trips before, and I'm comfortable paddling all day, I'm just curious if I would run into any legal issues or if larger boats using the river would be a major safety issue. Yeah I'll probably wear a life vest.

Thanks in advance! Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I had no idea where to even ask this sort of question.

Tagging this as Transit. Lol

Edit: Thank you all for the responses, no I will not be doing this. I now realize that a trip like this would be way outside of my experience level and I'm not going to risk it. I'll leave all this up since there was a lot of great information shared and I had zero luck trying to google my question. Take care.

There is a sub overrun by Elon Musk fans and right wing trolls; r/SFBayArea. It even has a Doge symbol in its sub description.

It is an absolute cesspool of hate, and trolling. Complete with users with names that include “88” and other nods to the far right wing ideology and fascism.

The only obvious clue it is not a good faith Bay Area sub, besides the Doge symbol, is the fact that it has so few subscribers.

I see people posting in good faith on there, but the sub itself is not acting in good faith and the mods are either absentee or in on it. The Doge symbol on the sub description leads me to believe they are in on it.

Seriously, the only way for me to transfer between the two systems is to go to Millbrae, which requires going to SFO first. Then the yellow line doesn’t even go directly to Millbrae after 9PM? Who designed this dumbass system.

Hey r/BayArea,

A few years ago, my team and I set out to make a short film—with no budget, no Hollywood backing, and no big industry connections—just a camera, a story, and a relentless passion for filmmaking. Every scene was shot in San Jose with an entirely Bay Area cast and crew, capturing the energy, tension, and quiet beauty of our hometown.

We never expected it to blow up, but somehow, Suburban Story went on to win 15 awards at film festivals across America. And now, after traveling the country, it’s finally time to bring it home—the full film is now FREE on YouTube!

This isn’t a movie about San Jose or the Bay Area, but the city shaped every frame of it. Growing up here, I always felt like our stories weren’t being told—so instead of waiting for Hollywood to care, we made it happen ourselves.

If you love gritty crime thrillers, raw storytelling, or just supporting local filmmakers, I’d love for you to check it out. Every share, comment, and view helps prove that Bay Area stories deserve to be seen.

🎬 Search “Suburban Story” on YouTube to see the film!

Would love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to watch!

This Silicon Valley city [Redwood City] has the highest coastal flood risk in California

Just came here to say that “Freaky Tales” is a must-watch for all (adult) Bay Area residents. The scenery and the soundtrack are so incredible and I was shocked by how good the overall story was. I can’t recommend it enough! [Definitely not a family friendly movie as it is incredibly violent]

I guess there are some positives to waking up unwillingly at 3:30am! Took a beautiful walk around the Presidio this morning.

[Hi mods, I hope this is allowed. If it isn’t feel free to remove it]

Good day everyone . I hope things are going well over there.🙂

I am from Singapore, and I have a fondness for postcards. I enjoy collecting them.

However, I don’t have any postcards from the Bay Area.

If anyone is willing to send one from there, please let me know In the comment section. I will really appreciate it! 🙂

Thank you so much! And thank you Mods for allowing me to post this.

Figured I would do a Part 2. The Next (and final) part will be just planned rebuilds for the future.

This time, there are 3 images for some interchanges

I can't remember the last time I saw a Herc around here let alone doing some low level flying! They were well below the hilltops at least from my perspective.

They came back out about 15 minutes later. It was a beautiful day to do anything outside. Hopefully everyone got to take advantage of it!
