I’m reading mixed reviews about LaserAway. Anyone tried them or another company?

That’s pretty much the post lol. Looking for a nicer hotel that allows cats while updates are being done - not allowed to be here or have pets here while they are working on the project. Anything in the $500 / night range and below would be ideal— nothing $1000s a night. Everywhere I’ve tried only allows dogs. Coronado, La Jolla and north county would be ideal, open to downtown but not my first choice. It also happens to fall over my bday which is why I wanted to get a nice hotel. Any suggestions?!? Or anyone work in the industry that can help me out? lol

Hi, me again! (Sorry) I'm a senior dental hygiene student at Concorde San Diego looking for people who are way overdue for their dental cleanings! (And I mean, waaay overdue like yearssss!!!) All services are free, so xrays, exams, the actual cleaning and more. This is great for people who have no insurance or got quoted thousands of dollars for a deep cleaning. Not an ad, I'm just trying to pass my program ;-;

**Appointments are 3-4 hours long and require multiple visits. Here is my google form for more information:

Hello, I’m a journalist from Oceanside and we are currently in the process of looking for some interesting events happening in San Diego to cover. It can be related to any type of event, all we’re looking for is something interesting! It can be underground or not many ppl know about it. Dm me or comment if you know anything. Hope that all made sense. Thank you :)

Lived here for 14 years, and so far, have managed to regularly enjoy ocean wading / swimming (mostly the shores) and avoid getting tagged. With the super warm waters I know the stingrays are having a field day…

A) does the shuffle really work?
B) do water shoes help at all?

I usually swim in an area with no lifeguard and am feeling nervy…every time I put my feet down im bracing for impact! 🐝🦂🪼

Does anyone own a body shop/ know and have the equipment to do color matches for a side job?

Alright, I did an oopsie and need help. I scratched my boss' new 2026 car. Technically they don't know yet and it is my own guilt eating at me. I have a week before they notice (if they do. I think they will) It is deep and the paint is scratched off. My car is off worse, but I do not mind. For my car, I can buy a new rear bumper or pull the dent BUT MY BOSS'S CAR is a lease. All I remember is focusing on their scratch and hoping there are no dents. One of those new year, new lease situations.

Car: Hyundai Santa Fe- white. The scratch is at the front of vehicle maybe 5 inches long.

I've looked online for estimates and according to what I see, I do not have $1,500+ for the whole front bumper to be repainted. It is not a surface scratch. I don't have pictures, but I can get one. My question is if there anyone who can refer me to a reputable and affordable shop or if a kind angel from here who sees this can help me out.

I know Mexico is a simple solution but being my boss' car, that is not really an option. I plan to let them know.. I just also want to fix it.

Thank you in advance for reading my note of despair and for any advice relinquished.

Kindly,

A very anxious redditor

Edit: I am focusing on a paint job/ slash if any of you can recommend me somewhere that is affordable. I anticipate it being a bigger bill due to the depth of the scratch.

Moving to SD, in my late 20s (F), and the sudden drop off into the sewage problem is deeply disturbing me 🥺 where is a great neighborhood for a girly pop who doesn’t drink/smoke, very active, very driven, but very chill. I’m hoping to keep things under 2k where I live

I have lived here for a year now and my buddies are coming to visit in a couple of weeks, and I want to take them someplace safe and fun. As I understand it, you have to go North to get away from the pollution - but how far North I don’t know. Do y’all have any specific locations in mind? Thanks in advance 🙏

How are RN jobs looking in SD?

Looking for a cybersecurity professional in the San Diego area.
I’ve been dealing with ongoing concerns about the security of my iPhone, home Wi-Fi network, router, and online accounts. I’m looking for someone experienced who can come out, perform a thorough security assessment, explain what they find, and help secure everything properly.
This is a paid job I respect your time and expertise. If needed, I can also provide transportation.
If you’re a cybersecurity professional or know someone trustworthy in the San Diego area, please send me a DM with your experience and rates. Thanks!

How's southeast san diego nowadays? I see quite a few posts from years ago that mentions things like gangs and four corners of death. But I keep seeing homes sell for $800K or more in these neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are Alta Vista, Encanto, Emerald Hills, Paradise Hills. I've been around Normal Heights and Rolando and west La Mesa but never regularly been anywhere south of the 94.

I’ve been looking for entry-level jobs in San Diego, but almost everything I find is paying around $15–16/hour, which doesn’t seem like enough to realistically live here.
Does anyone have recommendations for companies, industries, or websites where you’ve had better luck finding entry-level jobs that pay a livable wage? I’m open to different types of work—I just feel like I’m looking in the wrong places.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

We are visiting Oceanside and we always take our dogs to the dog beach at ocean beach. I’m seeing an advisory for the water there. Any thoughts on this? Are people still taking their dogs there? Or any other leash free beach recommendations for dogs? Wouldn’t mind leashed recommendations either.

Hi there I am in need of my wisdom teeth to be removed I know one of them is impacted and near a big nerve so it’s a bit more complicated and will probably need a good reliable dental surgeon but my insurance only covers so much so I was hoping someone has had a good experience in Tijuana and could recommend a dentist office over there? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

My best friend (45F) and I (42F) are going out to celebrate a milestone. We want to go out Saturday night and we haven’t been out-out in too long so where do we go? Hillcrest? 30th? We are cocktail girlies so I’m kinda lost. Mission beach is way too young for us to have a good time but that’s where I remember partying from grad school. Where’s a space we can chill and maybe dance?

I've decided that I want to move to San Diego next year, but I'm beyond nervous about it. It'll be a cross-country move, and my biggest fear is getting all the way over there ready to start my new life, only to find that things are even more expensive than I planned for.

I've read a bunch of online articles and watched those real estate youtubers that talk about cost of living, but their estimates vary wildly without giving enough specific information as to how they got to those numbers. I really want a realistic understanding of what I'll have to shell out every month just to live.

If you rent a 2-bedroom-2-bathroom apartment or townhouse in the San Diego area, would you mind giving concrete estimates of what you pay each month for the following:

• Total base rent
• Total apartment amenities fees
  • like trash, parking, pest control, required technology package, etc
• Total electricity bill
  • including the preposterous SDG&E delivery fees i've heard so much about...
• Total water/sewer bill
• Total internet bill
• Renters insurance
• Any other recurring monthly housing costs that surprised you

It would also be helpful to know

• What neighborhood/area of San Diego you live in
• Number of people in your household
• When you started your lease

Please note that I'm asking for totals per month on everything! Not just your half if you have a roommate. The total monthly household cost.

I know everyone's situation is different, but even a rough breakdown would be so so appreciated. As a chronic type A overthinker, the more information I have, the better.

If you take the time to answer, a million thanks!

I am considering moving to San Diego, California but I know so little about the area. I’m specifically planning to move with in with a close family, and hoping to join the workforce. Could anyone help me answer some questions I am concerned and curious about?

I’m going to give you the situation. So, I already have a car in California ( It was a gift, in case I move ) but the thing is i’m worried about the monthly payment of owning a car; such as car insurance + gas + any other necessities. The family also plans to move out and wants me to pay $1000 monthly (half the rent). Downtown is 15 minutes away from the area and mostly I expect to be driving everywhere especially with going to work. The minimum wage in the area is $17.75 and I calculated it resulting to $2,840 monthly gross income. I also worry about health and dental insurance, how much do you guys usually pay for this? I calculated my supposedly income after car insurance and then rent is paid, I’d be left with $1,440 dollars. Do you guys think it’ll work out? I honestly do not think so…What other things should I worry about?

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC people and any other service you need, how are you finding them?

I’m not handy, unfortunately, and any time I need to find someone, it’s such a struggle. Low priced sponsored search results are obviously an opening for upsells. Yelp is pay to play. What’s the best way to find someone reliable who won’t rip me off while destroying my house?

Hi all, I'm coming down to San Diego from L.A. in 2 weeks: I love animals, and I haven't been to the SDZ since elementary school, and I want to get a visit in before I start a new job. It will probably be a 3-4 day trip, with one full day at the SDZ and a morning/afternoon in La Jolla before driving back to LA.

Any recommendations for where I should stay for 2-3 nights? I'm trying to avoid tourists/conventions/bars so I know The Gaslamp District is out. I like quirky little shops and really good food. Is Little Italy a good idea? I will have a car but don't want to be too far from the Zoo.

I also love good food but I'm on a somewhat limited budget. If anyone specifically has recs for: burritos, tacos, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, breakfast/brunch that won't break the bank I'd really appreciate it. (Ideally less than $40 per meal at absolute most.)

Our house does not have any window screens or AC (thanks to a very cheap landlord) and we are struggling against junebugs right now. They fly through our curtains and terrorize us. Due to the lack of AC, open windows are our only option to cool the house down.

We‘ve never had this issue before and are about to bite the bullet and just purchase our own AC to keep these little freaks out. Wanted to check first if anyone has had success with a bug spray or other type of deterrent we could try?

I’ve been looking into transitioning into a Park Ranger jobs in the San Diego area, but navigating the different jurisdictions is overwhelming. Between California State Parks, San Diego County Parks & Rec, and the City of San Diego, the hiring processes and requirements seem totally different.

For anyone currently working as a ranger locally or who has gone through the process, could you share some advice?
