I’d imagine it’s quite the culture shock coming here. But I’m sure after a bit you realize how awesome this place is.

Sure we got some problems but it’s still super cool.

you are awesome subway

One of my old college buddies has been housing a family. He lives in east Bay and not sure how he made it happen. He is also a crazy dead head so the refugees may be getting a hell of an experience. I can ask him for any info if you want?


I am in a fantasy football league with him and some very very successful people , I am mos def their loser surfer friend.
Instead of playing for money this year we donated it to them. One guy gave them an old but functional car. Another is trying to get the husband a job.

Then there’s me “ do they want some homegrown?” :roflmao::roflmao:

So on a recent thread, I made a comment about adopting AfghanI refugee kids, and it’s still been in my head the last few weeks. Not so much as like, contacting NGO’s and actually trying to find an Afghani orphan to adopt, but you know, clicking on articles, keeping an eye open for stuff related to the refugee crisis. Lo and behold, air BnB.Org has a full on full fledged operation to help you list your spare bedroom or apartment or whatever just like a normal air BnB, except it’s for refugees who have been successfully extracted and admitted to the US, and need a place to stay for an average of 1-2 weeks while they find permanent housing and get settled. So, I just listed one of our guest rooms. Curious to see what, if anything, happens. I mean, we’re a half hour from JFK, and they say New York, for many reasons, has one of the higher demands for short term refugee housing. no charge of course, and airbnb deals with the refugee agencies (I can’t imagine the Bureaucracy involved) to handle their logistical and financial needs. our role is to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for a person(s) who has quite literally just been forced to flee their homeland. Probably forever.

ok that’s enough white knighting from me. Did i use that term correctly?

Hopefully. On a related note, in the listing I had to disclose that I keep shotguns locked in a closet. I wonder if that will knock me off the list?

Listen, I applaud your looking to help those in exile after our disasterous afghani adventure. Please please make certain of one thing though - when teaching them to surf explain clearly to them that it is terribly impolite to paddle out around a jetty and take the first set wave..chances are we have been waiting for that set and it chaps my hide to see some immigrant not wait their turn in the lineup. "Ther takin our Waves"...

:roflmao: :roflmao: Hey I read the fine print, we are merely providing a landing pad while they get all their paperwork squared away, and then the relief agencies move them into proper temporary housing while they start a new life. Average stay is 1-2 weeks
