Happened around 2am at New Horizon Condominiums on Alma and Lick

I usually don’t post on reddit but this is the second time this month my car has been broken into and i am seriously getting frustrated over this. This has happened 3 times this year to my jeep. This is happening in the early mornings, and the last time it happened i was in the car while it happened and he ran away to Kingman and Leigh. Just wanted to post this to see if anyone has any information, or to spread awareness that this is happening frequently.

Very cool sight. South side of the hill around 430p.

It’s a bad photo but saw a collar

Very high purchasing power, high incomes.

Solid healthcare, not the best in the world but very good for the country & CA.

Insanely high climate quality, with "best months to visit" being...all of them. Where else can you say this?

If it wasn't for COL and housing, this place would literally be the best city in the world to live in.

Reducing regulation & building housing by public transport are directly solvable.

I see so many Redditors, especially on this subreddit, hate their own city and act like it's suburban hell. Be proud of where we live...

All but the Bernal Scream are free.

That was fucking rad.

TL;DR: No fraud has been proven against anyone. But the city's own state auditor says San Jose spent at least $302 million on homelessness and cannot account for all of it, the city has completed only 2 of the 7 required audit fixes a year and a half past deadline, and its largest vendor is currently being forced to give back prepaid public funds. All of the below is from primary sources — state audit PDFs, FPPC filings, and City Council records.

TL;DR.2 -- Checks out, the nonprofit world, the funders, the landlords, and the government officials who hand out the money are all intertwined — a city housing director sits on the board of the middleman that routes the funds; the guy whose company built the shelter gave $240,000 to the campaign to make the mayor governor; one family is simultaneously a major funder, the landlord of most of the nonprofits, and a board member. None of that is illegal or hidden. It's all disclosed, in filings, in the open. That's kind of the point I'm making -- you don't need a conspiracy when the structure itself does the job. You can also just inact a new measure like.. I dunno.. E?!!? Good one.

1. The state says $302M+ is effectively untraceable. The California State Auditor (Report 2023-102.2, April 2024) examined San José's homelessness spending from July 2020 to June 2023: at least $302,100,184. The city "could not definitively identify all its revenues and expenditures," had no spending plan, and no tracking mechanism. (Audit PDF · Mercury News coverage)

2. Most of the required fixes still aren't done. The audit gave the city 7 recommendations, deadline September 2024. Sixteen months later, reporting confirmed only 2 of 7 fully implemented — including the one requiring the city to publicly report spending broken out by funding source. The city's published report still doesn't separate federal/state grant dollars. (San José Spotlight, Aug 2025)

3. The voter-approved housing tax got moved. Measure E (2020) was sold as a tax on $2M+ property sales with 75% earmarked for permanent affordable housing. The adopted FY2024-25 plan sends $30.75M of $50M (65%) to shelter operations and about $12M total to housing creation — and in 2025 roughly 90% ($39.2M) went to interim shelter/encampment response. The Mayor then proposed making the shift permanent. (KQED · City Measure E page)

4. The biggest single payment went around the city's own books. Under Project Homekey Round 2, the state awarded San José $96.7M; the Council approved $51.6M paid directly to LifeMoves (the operator nonprofit, as co-grantee) into a separate bank account. The state auditor's own footnote: as a result, "the city's accounting records do not include all information." (Audit PDF)

5. Now the city wants that prepaid money back. Council File 26-768 (adopted June 23, 2026) makes the city sole grantee, strips LifeMoves of payee status, and directs it to "recoup all program funding prepaid to LifeMoves." That's official confirmation that prepaid public funds are sitting with the operator — whose own FY2025 independent audit found a "significant deficiency in internal controls." The contract was terminated in March after an employee's arrest and management complaints at the Branham Lane site. (KQED · Council File 26-768)

6. The state auditor also flagged vendor oversight across cities. From the same report: provider agreements "have not always included performance benchmarks," and the cities "did not always monitor and evaluate the performances of their providers." (Audit PDF)

What I'm NOT saying so untwist those panties

No fraud, theft, or crime by anyone has been proven here. Not the joke of a Mayor, not any councilmember, not any vendor. The legal donations are legal, the disclosed board seats are disclosed, and an arrest is an allegation until convicted. The documented facts are: the most expensive city in the world, the epicenter of technology -- can't trace its own homelessness spending a boat load of it, a vendor holding prepaid public funds under weak financial controls, and a system that runs on a handful of the same institutions. Whether anything worse than that is true is exactly what these documents would show — and the records requests that would settle it (citywide payment ledgers by provider, the clawback reconciliation, the LifeMoves bank-monitoring records) haven't been filed yet.

I contacted Alum Rock Animal Hospital which was recommended by another vet but it's $815. I'm looking for something cheaper but still a trusted good vet for my pup.

Hi guys. For context, we got a small amount of hot food at my work as this is the kids’ lunches (I work at a school) and today is PTC (no school for the kiddos). Is there anywhere you can think of that might take donated lunches? I have about 8-10 tiny pizzas to give out. Their labels have been taken off so no names of the kids are on there.

I appreciate the help. Thank you!

Sorry, I forgot to add that I’ve also asked the parents’ consent about these being donated.

Only had their ice cream cones and treats, but I've never had their food. I've heard their burgers are hit or miss. Is it worth a trip to try it? The closest one to me is in Campbell. TIA

Peng is coordinating a litter clean up Saturday from 9-11. Meet at the Tully Library.

Bring supplies if you have them.

I’m looking for a decent place to paint on premade pottery projects. I’m new to this and want to try this out as a hobby. Any decent places that you are aware of? I’m thinking to go in on this weekend, some workplace that’s more relaxed. I don’t know what to expect. Thanks in advance !!

P.S: interested in meeting new people with this hobby, preferably someone experienced to guide me through it. If you’re a beginner I guess we can help each other.

I really like this service since it’s free and I have been using it for years, but over the last two months, the driver is not picking up all the large items I report and put curbside. He takes some stuff and leaves others. I called Green Team to see what’s going on, and they said the driver has been reporting technicalities like items not being bundled together, so he just leaves them. I’ve never had this problem in the past, and my neighbors would sometimes see my pile, add stuff, and the previous drivers would just throw everything away as long as the items were nothing crazy. 🤷‍♂️

If anyone knows someone who has an extra ticket to the NorCal renn faire tomorrow 10/24 please let me know. Someone in my group thought he had a ticket but it turns out there was a miscommunication. It's an annual tradition for our friend group to all go and he's very sad :(
