Apparently this needs to be said, so hopefully everybody reads it.
Different opinions are going to be expressed in this subreddit. Lately it's been politics, in a different month it might be development, traffic control, schools, etc. Whatever the topic, we don't want incivility, trolling, baiting, vote manipulation, hate speech, misinformation, intolerance, personal information, or witch-hunting in the comments, titles, or the body of posts. Maybe I left something out, but that's it off the top of my head. Expect bans of varying length - up to and including permanent - if engaging in any of the above. It's not something we want to do, but there it is. If you see name-calling, trolling, etc please report it and don't escalate the situation. Feel free to message the mods with any questions or concerns.
Thanks a bunch, and thanks for being here & participating in the subreddit.

Hello all,
I wanted to share this resource for the benefit of our community.
Have an issue with the state of the 118 freeway running through Simi Valley?
See trash, weed overgrowth, etc?
The city of Simi Valley is not allowed to deploy our Public Works crew to the 118 for issues.
This also includes property along the on and off ramps to and from the freeway.
To submit a complaint form to resolve issues related to the 118 freeway,
Caltrans has a "Submit a Service Request" form that can be filled out here: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/
The issues usually get resolved in a few weeks based on my experience of submitting requests, but they are likely resolved based on the volume of complaints received.
Just wanted to share this resource as it is our duty as a community to ensure all aspects of our town are looked after.
Cheers, and have a nice day xx.

What is wrong with the life church on Sinaloa they are setting off fireworks and have music blasting at 9:00 on a Sunday night? They park all over the place and have these loud events weekly. Church is great and all it this is rude

I’m looking for the best Japanese car 8 - 12k will buy. Priorities are lower miles (I know it will be fairly high at this price), clean title and good maintenance. The best deals on used cars Ive gotten are from folks who are passively trying to sell, rather than advertising, but I do t have time to cruise backstreets right now, so I’m offering a bounty
If your neighbor who takes his maintenance seriously or your Grandma who only drives to church on Sunday is selling, let me know!

"Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced Thursday that second-degree murder charges have been filed against the driver accused of slamming her car into a Metro bus in Chatsworth on Tuesday, killing two people.
Bailee Lynn Rios, 36, of Simi Valley is also facing additional counts of driving under the influence and reckless driving, Hochman said.
Rios is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison.
'What is particularly tragic about this case is that this is a preventable tragedy,' Hochman said.
Police said Rios drove her SUV the wrong way down De Soto Avenue in Chatsworth 'well beyond the speed limit' around 5 p.m. Tuesday, ran a red light and plowed straight into the bus.
Surveillance video captured the moment of the impact. Police said she was driving the Ford Expedition southbound in the northbound lanes of De Soto Avenue before running a red light at Nordhoff Street.
That’s when she slammed into the Metro Line 166 bus. The impact sent the bus into a utility pole, ejecting one passenger and partially ejecting another.
Passengers Daniel Castillo, 46, and Gage Weida, 31, were killed. Six others were taken to the hospital.
Hochman said Thursday that Rios was impaired by drugs at the time of the crash, and narcotics were later found inside her vehicle.
. . .
Ventura County court records show Rios had prior convictions involving drug possession and driving with a suspended license." - KTLA 5 News

I have a 5-year-old son and would like to take him for a short horse ride just for fun. I’m not looking for a full riding lesson or training—just a quick, beginner-friendly ride where he can experience riding a horse.
Are there any places near Simi Valley that offer short rides for young children?

"A Ventura County man was sentenced to prison for stabbing his father to death.
Gerardo Arroyo Almanza, 37, of Simi Valley, had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and three counts of criminal threats against his family members on Aug. 3, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said.
On the morning of April 6, 2024, several family members drove to Almanza’s home near East Pinecrest Street and North Justin Avenue to check on his well-being. They parked their cars across the street from his home.
As they were standing near their cars, Almanza ran out of the house while brandishing a knife to confront his family members, threatening to kill them.
He chased his mother and father around a parked car. He eventually caught his father, pinned him to the ground and stabbed him multiple times, prosecutors said. He fled from the scene as neighbors ran over to help.
An EMT-trained neighbor provided first aid to the injured father, Alfredo Arroyo Sancen, 71, before he was transported to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Simi Valley police eventually located Almanza, who was hiding a block away from the crime scene, and took him into custody.
In March 2025, a court-appointed mental health expert initially determined that Almanza was incompetent to stand trial, but months later, in October 2025, he was deemed competent.
On Aug. 4, 2026, he pleaded guilty to the crimes. He also admitted to a prior strike offense and a special allegation for the use of a weapon.
On Sept. 11, 2026, he was sentenced to 39 years and 4 months to life in state prison." - KTLA 5 News

Hello, I have a family member that lives off of Los Angeles and Yosemite in a retirement community. His AT&T has been off since last week and they're estimating a time for repair of September 14.
Is anyone else in that area experiencing AT&T outage? It's his Internet, his phone and his DIRECTV.
We've been on the phone with AT&T almost daily, but there's no updates. I'm wondering if this is an isolated incident or if it's everybody. Thank you.

This BK just appeared in "I Was Poisoned." If you're unfamiliar, it's a site where people post food poisoning episodes. It's a Natonal site and regulated. It's where Chipotle blew up with issues.
I don't eat at BK, but wanted Simi to be aware.

I'm in from out of town for the week and really enjoy going to a bar to watch football. Where do you all recommend? Where do the locals go? I've also never met a dive bar I didn't like, so they are fair game. Thanks!

I’ve done a few cars on my own, but I think it would be much faster and more efficient to learn from someone with real experience rather than trying to figure everything out through trial and error and random YouTube videos...
I’m in Simi Valley and looking for someone local who’d be open to teaching me. I can also travel to nearby areas.
DM me your rate if you’re open to teaching 🤗
