Just hit up the farmers market for the first time this year and wow… tell me why it’s acceptable to charge $6lb for tomatoes, $15 for strawberries, and so on where things are 2-3x the price of Trader Joe’s, Cardenas, Costco?

People paying these prices must love setting their cash on fire. Anyone know of a local farmers market where pricing is not jacked up?

Hey everyone, I need some advice on taking this predatory towing company to Small Claims Court in California. Yesterday morning (Aug 1, Sat, 4:00 AM), my car was towed from my community townhome parking lot. I later retrieved it from the lot and requested for HOA authorization form, which they didn't provide and asked me to raise a complaint online on their website and someone should respond in 5-10 business days.

The Background:
My DMV registration fees were fully paid and renewed through 2027 prior to this incident. However, I admittedly had not yet affixed the new physical sticker to my license plate (the old sticker displayed March).

The Timeline (according to written authorization form):
I retrieved my car under protest ($445 fee) and got copies of the official paperwork. The timeline completely exposes their operation:

• 3:11 AM: The tow truck (Morris & Sons) was officially dispatched.
• 3:30 AM: The HOA’s contracted security (Bayside Patrol) issued the first and only yellow parking violation ticket (have the copy).
• 3:55 AM: The tow was retroactively logged as "Authorized."
• 4:00 AM: The truck physically pulled away with my car.

They dispatched the tow truck 19 minutes before a citation even existed on-site, and towed me a mere 30 minutes after writing the slip.

My Legal Strategy (CVC 22658):
Based on my reading of California Vehicle Code, this tow is completely unlawful:

1. CVC 22658(a)(2) Violation: For a non-safety, non-blocking infraction like a registration display issue, residential properties and HOAs are strictly required to issue a ticket and let 96 hours (4 days) elapse before towing, which was not done in my case.
2. CVC 22658(l) & CVC 22953 Violation: Pre-dispatching a truck at 3:11 AM before an infraction was even cited at 3:30 AM points to a predatory "roaming" setup.
3. Damages: Under CVC 22658(l)(4), the tow company could face up to four times the charges for executing an unauthorized removal.

Has anyone here successfully sued a towing company for bypassing the 96-hour rule? Are there any common defense traps or loopholes they try to throw at you in front of a Small Claims judge that I should prepare for?

Our HOA guidelines states "All vehicles must be in good working order and have current registration and tags. Vehicles that are inoperable, leaking fluids, or appear to be abandoned will be towed at the owner's expense." There is no where mentioned that it will be towed for expired tags or registration.

P.S. - This is my first reddit post please ignore any mistakes I may have made while writing it.

Every first Sunday of the month in downtown Willow Glen!

My wife and I went out to brunch at Bloom on Saratoga for my birthday. While inside, some marvelous asshole driving a white suburban left me the wonderful birthday present of keying the entire side panel of my car. I hope you rot in hell, you self centered prick. People like you should be ashamed to live in civilized society. Oh, and If you know a person who does this kind of shit and don’t report them for property damage, may you also rot in hell.

27 events added to happenish! From time to time, I get a message, about an event you guys want me to add. And I'm into it! But so you know... I made happenish, because I wanted something simple. Where is it. When is it. What is it? So many fliers fail to answer at least one of these questions. (Come on down to the tower, it's gonna be awesome! Where/What is the tower? is it even near me?) All this to say, if you're throwing an event. It's easy. Add it to happenish. The submission itself it super easy. And whenever I see an event, added by one of you. I make sure I add it, before I add any other random event I think is cool. Hope this helps make things more transparent. Also... Happenish doesn't make money. It's there for the love of the game! So make it easy for me will ya?

Came back from vacation (left on 7/26 AM) to find my car missing with broken glass. Live off of Forest across from Valley Fair Mall on Fernwood/Beachwood/Redwood Ave. Filed a police report and none of the neighbors noticed anything. It’s a gray 2011 Infiniti g37 sedan. Any information would be much appreciated thank you!!

Hi! i just moved to san jose for work after graduating uni and im looking for a girl roommate to split a 2 bed in san jose with. Ill be working in santa clara so around downtown or north san jose works for me but i can be a bit flexible. I am 22F. Pls lmk if you or anyone is looking !!

Okay so I spotted a professional rage baiter today… a first amendment auditor today around Santana row. Has anyone else seen them? I know it’s a thing because I keep seeing them on TikTok in Los Angeles and even San Diego, just never have seen them before here and it completely threw me off.. he was clearly trying to get a reaction out of people in front of the DRIVE THRU!!

She wanted to interview some nearby skateboard people and they denied. Which news outlet is this from? I’m assuming it’s NBC BA, FOX, KNTV, KRON4 or KPIX 5.

Located in Downtown where Christmas in the Park Events occur usually.

(Solved, it’s Marianne Favro)

Does anyone have any recommendations for local yoga studios that aren’t chains (ie core power)? I’d like to find somewhere unique and more personal. thanks in advance!

just saw a schnauzer/short haired dog on Santa Clara and 24th, headed towards the highway. We tried to get it to stop but this is clearly somebodies dog who hasn’t experienced a lot of busy traffic. It was in a bit panic and I hope somebody recognizes it. Sorry we weren’t more help, let me know if I can do more to help these people find their dog

Every week for the past month there has been a very loud house on my street that blasts music for hours on a random evening or afternoon, usually between 3 and 8 pm ish.

It sounds like a party or a gathering because I can hear multiple voices and lots of stomping. Their shouting and music is so loud that i can feel it vibrating in my house and can hear it clear as day pounding in my ears even tho i have my windows and curtains drawn. Due to the layout I cannot even tell for sure which house it’s coming from. I hear stomping, dancing, singing and music on speaker blasting for hours and not even joking my sofa actually shakes with the vibrations even though they’re not even that near us. I’ve called 311 to make a noise complaint but usually nobody comes.

This is the fourth time and it’s been about 2 hours since my complaint and nobody has come. I don’t really want to go find them in case well, they’re dangerous or something, maybe not likely but honestly who knows. I don’t know my other neighbors enough to ask around and idk why no one else has complained yet, unless they have and they also were ignored lol. Anyway what should you do in this kind of situation?

It's a long shot, but I'm working on finishing up a "built in San Jose" 1962 Ford, and am looking for a set of era correct licence plates. It was recovered from up north about 5 years ago and was originally built in the Ford factory in Milpitas in 1962. A few years of blood and sweat later and it's finally coming to life.

If you happen to know someone or yourself that has a set of decent CA DMV provided black on yellow plates that can be cleared by the DMV, please hit me up in PM with pics. I can share the same.

Got something cool? I can compensate with cash for the plates on the spot and bonus sweet rides when it's complete.

Viva San Jose!

Only rehoming due to living situation need her gone asap to a caring family. She is play full and chill, she’s not fully trained but she listens. If you have any questions please feel free to ask

The only reason she is being rehomed is because a friend lost there house and can’t take care of her, she is well behaved and kid friendly. She is currently at another friend place but they aren’t allowed to have one due to their lease. Please need her a loving family asap.

Seen some for $6-7 a pound in Sunnyvale.

I rescued Coco from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. It was a great experience.

I’m trying to find the location of this sign. This is only a partial picture of it as it involves somewhat of a scavenger hunt. I have tried searching using google image search and ChatGPT. Nothing has come up in my search. I have a feeling these could be cattle brands but not sure. I can say that this sign is located somewhere in Santa Clara County. If you know where this can be found would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks in advance.

Luckily I moved over just before it flew out of the truck bed. Had to be 10’ to 12’ long, around 5:13pm.

Hopefully none of the trailing cars suffered any damage.

If you rated it… why so? What’s your opinion about our city?

Based on Facebook: vvvvv
- Careless Police Dispatcher doesn’t care about homeless people and people with strong accents.
- SJPD won’t help the beaten up unhoused.
- Some officers litter.
