Whatever's going on in Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Escondido, Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside, Leucadia, RB, Poway, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, Ramona, Rainbow, Fallbrook, or any of the other disparate bits of the north marches of sunny San Diego county.

Yet another rule: no affiliate marketing stuff, no click the link to save, none of that. The users made it abundantly clear they're not interested.

FIY: New rule /r/northcounty isn't a dating/hookup subreddit, and isn't built to contend with that sort of thing, so I'm not going to allow those posts anymore. Sorry for any mixed signals.

Abusive, intimidating, racist, or threatening speech isn't tolerated here. For the however many'th time, if you don't like my moderation, make your own North County subreddit and go to town, I don't care. This isn't a free speech free fire zone, nor am I the government curtailing your right to say terrible things, so your First Amendment rights aren't being curtailed. Just don't be a jerk or say the pandemic is a hoax and you'll be fine.

Here's a multi of the North County-related subs I've found so far.

If I missed a city, let me know.

Here's some other So Cal links (as they come in): San Marcos! LA! LJ! OC! IE! 909! LB! CSUSM! Poway! O'side! Esco!

Feel free to post your roommates wanted, yard sales, North County-related subreddits, and show announcements here, too. It's all about community. Add details, for pete's sake.

Here's a recent post: What is there to do in North County?

If you haven't done it recently, re-read the Reddiquette (you read it all, right?). It says most everything we need to have a good civil community here in r/northcounty.

This sub isn't a platform for vigilantism. If you get something stolen and need to spread the word, DO NOT ask for a PM if "anyone knows the guy". That is not acceptable, and I will from here on in delete posts asking, and ban users for a second offense. No questions asked. In the past I've given some leeway but I'm tired of being ignored on this. Post your question WITH A LINK TO CONTACT POLICE. No personal contact, no other people's personal info, including license plate numbers. End of story. If you want to form your own subreddit for that, go for it.

If you have a get-together, a hoedown, or an event, post it once. If it's weekly, post it once a week, and note that it's weekly. Don't spam. If you see a sale, a discount, or something special go ahead and slap it up here, the community will decide what's acceptable in that case.

Mods reserve sole right to ban users. If you have any issues on the sub please feel free to message the mod. Mods don't check every post every day, but do respond to every message, so feel free to contact them.

I upped the spam filter level. You may get caught in it. If you feel it's unwarranted please message me and I'll see what I can do.

Anyone need a bunch of old newspaper?

I have about 2 years worth of old newspaper that I'm looking to get rid off. I feel kinda bad just dumping it in the recycle bin. Does anyone know any charity or some such that could use it? The Humane Society doesn't need it.

Gym Recommendations

By the title I’m just trying to get an idea of which gym is the best bang for your buck.

I’m not a hardcore gym rat I just want to fill in any extra free time I have with the gym and get better shape than I’m in now. I know places like 24 and LAF have these high monthly prices and that’s what I’m trying to stay away from. I see that Chuze has good prices but can’t speak from experience. And PF, which I have signed up with before, just always seems too crowded any given time.

I’m open to all suggestions and opinions :)

Anyone have suggestions for Facebook groups to find places to rent in North County?

Been looking on Facebook on various group pages that curate rent posts. But I noticed a lot of them are central SD, around mission valley and a little towards south.

Would anyone have fb groups suggestions for northern part of SD or other resources for affordable housing options?

Zillow is cool, but most of their listings are usually high.

VEG emergency vet in Encinitas

I just want to give this place a huge shout out, they were absolutely amazing.

My partner and I unfortunately lost our dog a few days ago to a blood disorder and we took her into VEG originally for emergency care and I cannot express how amazing they were.

They immediately got to taking care of her, basically no wait time. And the hospital is an “open concept” so you can be with your dog every step of the way.

They even gave us our own room with a pullout bed, so we could sit with her all day In Between tests and scans.

The first night when we had to leave to go home for a few hours a nurse stood with her in her kennel and held her and pet her as she slept because she was too anxious.

I cannot thank them enough, they made an incredibly difficult few days much easier than it should have been.

Where/how do I report a landlord for not maintaining enough handicapped spots?

Lived here a long time and it used to be 6 spots. Last year, the manager turned 2 of them into her personal spots and made 2 of the new “electric vehicle only” spots handicapped, so no one can use them since this is a low income neighborhood.

Now, they’ve started a new renovation project and put a giant dumpster over 2 of the 4 remaining spots. It’s been there for months and is expected to be well into next year. Is that legal?

Just moved to Elfin Forest

Please drop your best Elfin Forest lore! I did not grow up around here and am loving the stories people tell me when I say where I live. I love paranormal stuff and want to go to some of the landmarks in the forest.

I hiked to Questhaven one day already- quite the fortress. Someone told me they kidnap people and can travel to different time zonas? Lol

Looking to move to Oceanside/Vista Area, any areas I should stay away from?

I love Oceanside/Vista and would like to move there. I'm a Southern California native. I've heard lots of stories about Deep Valley, Townsite, and other neighborhoods but what is true and what is just an exaggeration? I should preface this with; I've spent ALOT of time in Oceanside and Vista so I'm making a somewhat informed decision. I've lived all over San Diego County and currently live in Santee. I'm a woc and can confirm all the things people say about Santee are not true. People have been nothing but friendly and I've never experienced any racism. So, this the reason I'm asking if everything people say about Oceanside and Vista are true. Thank you in advance!

KOCT Candidate Statements for 2024 Oceanside Election

KOCT is the Oceanside local cable access television station that also has a YouTube channel. They have released a few videos for the upcoming election; one for local candidates' statements and longer form videos for Oceanside Treasurer, State Assembly and Congressional Representative.

The local candidates' statements video includes Oceanside Mayor, City Council Districts 3 and 4 and Treasurer, School District Areas 2 and 5 and also 49th Congressional District and State Assembly District 74.

I can't seem to find an OUSD Area map.

As many of these are non-partisan positions it takes a little digging to figure out who some of these folks are but it can be done.
