I love San Diego and honestly downtown is my least favorite part of the city. Gaslamp is a shithole; if you have to live downtown, Little Italy is definitely the nicest part and your best bet.

I’m moving to SD too!! Coming from atl, damn it’s going to be expensive

Also for planning: rush hour (pre-covid, anyway) is opposite in San Diego, as there are very few jobs downtown as compared to the la Jolla/UTC/Torrey Pines area. If you're commuting up that way, you will not be driving against traffic from downton. If your job is downtown, living further north (la Jolla, del mar, Solana Beach etc) you'll actually be able to go close to the speed limit during rush hour heading downtown.

Maybe Cortez hill? You are walking distance from little Italy, gas lamp, and balboa park but it’s mostly residential so quieter compared to the surrounding neighborhoods

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

When you test a GL account cause the balance is in-scope. Do you net the untested debits and credits together to determine if acceptably low? Or is it determined by untested debits being below PM and untested credits being below PM?
I have not gotten a consistent answer and seen it both ways in practice.
