    A fantastic service offered to residents of Alameda County. We reached out to get some help with skunks that were living under the patio deck. Kimberly came out shortly after our first call. Following good covid19 protocol, she wore a mask, kept her distance and addressed our concerns. She was thorough in identifying the source, working collaboratively with the neighbors and within a week resolved the issue. No animals were hurt! Here's an example of a high quality local resource.

    Look at the my calls, there are other calls I made. The lady simply doesn't want to do her job she made me wait over 20 mins for nothing.

    Elio was very nice and never showed frustration during the several weeks of trying to evict raccoons from my attic in the most humane way.

    Another review that I have held off on... Am I being selfish?…read more Quality/Quantity - Alameda is an island in the Bay Area. A hidden treasure. DON'T let anyone know! One of the safest communities in the bay. 23 square miles, 12.5 square miles of which is water. 78k+ population - Although they are continuing to build aggressively on the ex-naval base. The best part of the island is that there is only XXXX amount of land so it can hopefully NOT get over crowded. Atmosphere - Beaches - Alameda Beach, Crab Cove, Crown, Encinal, etc. Water sports - Kayak, kite surfing, swimming, jet skiing, boating, etc. Harbor Bay, parks, lagoons, trails, volleyball, tennis, skate parks, dog parks, marinas, cycling, etc. Ex-navy base (1997) - Spirit Alley - Distilleries, breweries, wineries, etc. Too many to name! Annual events - Farmer's markets, fairs, festivals, parades, Blue Angels, etc. Museums, art & culture, etc. Beautiful Victorian homes. Amazing views of SF. 3 bridges and tunnels to get on and off of the island. Near Oakland, SF, Coast Guard Island, etc. Service - Ferries - To SF, Oakland, etc. One of the best ways to travel. Price - Affordable. They have inexpensive and expensive options. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1853.

Just last week I was at the newer Safeway and there are criminals walking out with tot bags full of food. A few days before I was at the Target in that same area and people are stealing tide pods. I was in that aisle looking for some Persil pods and was swarmed with armed security guards. Houses may be expensive here compared to just a mile away but its the same horrible way of life you have to live. Not long ago my friend had his cat stolen from his Prius off his driveway - seems to be worse than my experience living in neighboring cities that cost a little less and have more space and bigger houses. Its overrated. This place was great 20 years ago but no longer. If I go shopping in Pleasanton or San Ramon its like night and day. You can only sense how bad this place got when you regularly go the Tri Valley. Some of this island is also man made landfill. My aunt lives on this and in an earthquake I hate to say its probably the worst place to be. The soft soil turns to jello and its better to be on more stable soil at a slightly higher elevation. People here are on edge and uptight and I think they feel trapped.

    It's understandable that the EDD Office will always be busy, but it's frustrating when you can…read morenever get through by phone; no matter if you call very first thing in the morning, throughout the day or towards the end of the day. You will always hear, "we reached our max number of callers." After striking out every single time, I decided to head down to the nearest office-located at Oakland. When I got there around 11am, a sign was up that they gave out the max number of tickets and no more tickets would be given to ensure they could see everyone. Okay, I probably should've gone first thing in the morning or earlier than opening because a man told me he showed up at 8am and still had not been seen. The security guard also stated try showing up around 7-730am because lines form every day. I was told show up early, the office will start numbers at 8am, but the office isn't open until 9am. I don't know about the hours information I was told, but I appreciated the helpful guidance as this is the first time really going through this whole experience. It would be nice if EDD had a better notification system they could publish so people traveling a ways away would know whether to visit or come a different day. What would also be helpful or something to consider, would be expanding telephone hours. I understand this is a State job, but the public demands are big so finding ways to maximize customer service would be nice; thinking outside the box would be good. It would/could also open up telework opportunities and provide employees with different work shifts that may be a better fit for them-which can boost job satisfaction. With that said, Oakland Office was a bust for me. However, I recalled another review I read about someone's not so good experience and how they left Oakland's Office and went to San Francisco's Office. The people in SF were very nice. You have to sign in when you first get there with security and then take the elevator up to the 3rd Floor. You get your ticket and wait. The office was slightly bigger, no need for security on that floor, the employees all had good customer service (you can hear them when they speak with people) and the average wait time was reasonable-definitely no more than an hour considering the type of service offered. My time there was less than an hour; in & out. I have to mention, I showed up there closer to 2pm and numbers were still being given out-no "we can't service anyone else today." The only downside is parking can be a challenge, but that's SF for you. Pay attention to the street signs to make sure you can park. Other than that, I believe you will have better luck and experience at the SF Office if you can't make it to the Oakland Office pretty early! Also, last tip; remember the email you used from your very first claim-even if it was 10 years ago. Any claims after that and your identity verification will be tied to that email. You will need to go into an office to change it or try your luck to get through Online Support to have it changed. However, once the change request is submitted, switching your email is an easy process, with them doing it on the back end. Once converted they will email you with a link and you may need to reset your password. I must note, I didn't get the opportunity to truly see the customer service from the Oakland Office; I'm sure it would've been fine-they're here to help. I just know it's already challenging to be on unemployment or disability, and I wish you all luck-you will need to stay committed to getting through if you need assistance. Last thought: It would be nice to get an overhaul of the EDD system, just like DMV did many years ago. Learning the needs of the many and how to streamline the system & process would be beneficial. Please note, I'm not knocking it or the Oakland Office, but just sharing my experience with you! If the Oakland location doesn't work out for you, try the SF Office.

    I surprisingly find myself applying for CA Disability Insurance. The process was complicated and…read moreconfusing for me. Calling EDD is an exercise in futility. I showed up this morning without an appointment. I simple self-check in, a short wait, and I was helped by a very kind Asian woman. She took her time and researched my claim, explained to me the process, and even told me I would I had a shorter waiting period. Today is a great day!

    Mostly I am just posting to combat the ridiculous commentary about this library that is dropping…read moreits rating. It is small and old school. It is what it is... and that is fine. It doesn't need to have a huge catalog. When I go there, I'm not looking for something specific. I see what finds me. I quit streaming movies a few months ago. Every time I pop in on my early evening walk they have something interesting on disc. Same with books. I've been introduced to a ton of interesting stuff by being restricted in my choice. To me, that's a good thing. If you need something specific you can head over to the main branch. And comments on it being "old and musty" -- omg, I'm not even going to comment on that. I'm grateful to have this branch in my neighborhood!

    I typically have a great experience at this library. There is a librarian who works here who wears…read moreglasses and has shorter hair. She's very kind and has helped me as a regular patron and as a teacher patron. Today I went with a friend and her toddler. Mind you, the library is outfitted with tons of accommodations for toddlers. You can't have toddler toys, toddler books, toddler attractions in GENERAL be irritated when a toddler acts like a toddler. My friends son was excited, and playing with toys. This is only his second time in a library. Instead of coming to us, and supporting him in his second visit, this old horrible man (who may be a librarian or library tech)walked up and told us we need to restrain her child or leave. Honestly, it felt racially motivated, as we are all black. I am trying to figure out who to contact about this, because I am very angry.
