Follow up on terminating Clean Power Alliance service through SCE

So far my bill has been drastically cut. But I've had a bunch of responses that have called me a liar, and/or said I'm trying to mislead the public. All I've done is follow up on what my experience was, and what the outcome was. If that offends you, thats too bad. If there is a way to further reduce my bill, then fantastic. I'm not advising anyone to do anything. I'm only providing what my own outcome was.

Here is a link to bills. I've gone through and redacted the info. Its time consuming, so I've only done the first four from this year. I will add more as I can get them redacted, as I have them going back to early 2021.

Feel free to dig in. Feel free to identify why the bills are radically different. Feel free to provide your opinions. But I'm not going to respond to anyone that calls me a liar, or otherwise being a total dick. I'll just block you, and thats it. I'm providing all of the data so that anyone can confirm or refute what I've said. And I'll continue to add to it for the next several months so you can see the continued trend of my bills.

The data is visible at the bitly short url of bit dot ly slash 4aO6QjV

Additional Info: Just a heads up; I went ahead and called Edison. They confirmed that this is the complete set of charges for March. There wont be any additional bill. I recorded the call for posterity. I'll strip out the parts with my name and address, and will add it to the shared folder.

Day care

Hey everyone! I have a 1 year old and we are thinking about putting our daughter into day care. For the parents out there, what day cares have you enjoyed? How did you make your decision? If you’re comfortable sharing, how much does it cost?

We are completely new to this and are really just hoping to get more information, so we appreciate anything you have to share.

New Businesses

Curious if anyone knows what new businesses, restaurants, etc. are planned and/or opening soon? I never really know where to find information on what's coming besides Reddit. Sometimes we'll be walking or driving somewhere and pass by a place we've never heard of, read about, etc., and it catches us off guard (in a good way). Always excited about patronizing new places here in town. Appreciate it!

Affordability question

Why is Ventura so much more affordable compared to other coastal towns in Southern California? The location, commercial, architecture…what’s the catch?

Unsanitary conditions at Finney's Crafthouse

A friend and I were set to eat at Finney's a few days ago - the host pointed to a table in the outdoor seating area, but as we approached we noticed there were a couple of dog turds on the floor (not concrete, it's basically some kind of indoor/outdoor carpet).

We decided to eat elsewhere, and thought we'd let the host know they had a situation on their hands, so after informing them that we'd be moving on, I said "there also seems to be some dog poop on the floor over there that you might want to address." The host replied, "Yeah... I know..." and then went back to chilling at the host station.

My friend and I were quite surprised, to say the least - the host directed us to sit over there while FULLY KNOWING that there was dog shit on the floor and still had seemingly no inclination to address the situation. Honestly am still trying to wrap my mind around it. I've had some surprisingly decent meals at that place before but I will absolutely not be back. Yikes.

Best hand wash for nice car?

About to buy a nice car. I’ve always had cheap cars and ran them through gas station wash machines. Since I actually care about this new car and don’t want swirls etc, where’s the nicest hand wash place?

Bike Ventura County (BikeVC)

Hi Neighbors! I wanted to share a local resource that that many of you may know about but new neighbors may not. I volunteer for Bike Ventura County (BikeVC https://bikeventura.org/). Bike VC is a non-profit that operates a bike shop on 490 N. Ventura Ave. that takes in donated bikes to fix up and resell. Also, there are DIY workstations where you can repair your own bicycle with the support of shop volunteers. However, BikeVC is much MORE than a shop. We also provide bike safety education for students in K-8, adult education classes, bike valets at local events, and community rides. So if you are in the market for a bike, need to repair yours, have time to volunteer, and want to support a local non-profit check out our website and/or come by the HUB!

Good Optometrist

My last experience at Lenscrafters at Pacific View Mall was not great, my prescription got worse, not better, and I'm on the hunt for a new optometrist. Don't care if it's a chain or a private practice but I need a good optometrist I can trust will be able to properly figure my eyes out.

Any suggestions?

Moved Back to Ventura

Hello,

I am not new to Ventura County, I have lived here in the past. This time however, life has matured me to the point where I am hyperfocused and ready to really crush it in life. I am originally from Ukraine and have been in the states since 1994. I was raised in Los Angeles, and lived almost every part of LA and some parts of the OC as well.

I am starting to really fall in love with this city! Everything is so close! The people are so nice (for the most part).

I just wanted to introduce myself on here. Currently taking classes at Ventura College. Im majoring in Accounting and Kinesiology and I am so excited because there are so many places for me to sit down and study!

I know people say that prices here are expensive, but I know that for the same price if I was living in LA I would be stuck in the Valley.

Glad to be in a coastal city with nice fresh crisp air and looking forward to surfing and getting into the water in the summer.
