This Bancroft Avenue home was top local vote-getter in our Deck the House contest. Help win $100,000 for San Leandro schools by voting for the local favorite in Patch's national contest.

 

Who has the best “decked” house in San Leandro?  

According to users who voted in our annual Deck the House contest, this Bancroft Avenue home has the best holiday lights in San Leandro. 

We had tons of national entries in this year’s Deck the House contest and in our quest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in the country, we’ve seen everything from a life-size Santa to holiday lights so bright they could blind the neighbors.


We loved showcasing everyone’s holiday spirit.

But Deck the House isn’t over yet.

We’re still looking for the one home so spectacularly decorated that it could be the national grand prize winner of our contest.

We will choose 24 finalists from all our entries across the country. From Dec. 18- Dec. 27, vote for your favorite and that person could win $100,000 for his or her local school district.

All you have to do is visit this page to browse a gallery of the finalists and cast your vote beginning Dec. 18. On Dec. 28, we’ll announce the grand prize winner of our Deck the House contest.

So, now’s your chance to tell us who has the best “decked” house in the country. Let us know by voting for your favorite beginning Dec. 18.

David, you speak out of both sides of your mouth. Sometimes you complain our future neighbors at TheRead More Crossings will be too affluent and undeserving. Now it's concentrating poverty. Frankly the market does an amazing job of concentrating poverty. Nonprofits like Bridge & Mercy are helping to address that problem. That is something our neighboring communities have learned throughout these nonprofits' 30 year history.
David June 19, 2013 at 07:26 am
Rob, let me spell it out for you yet again. 1) The Crossings are being sold to SL by folks like youRead More and the politicians as "workforce" housing for those poor souls who have a job but supposedly can't afford housing. That's a straight up lie. As I've pointed out, the income levels required for taxpayer-subsidized housing at Bridge could easily afford housing in SL. Therefore, this leads to my point #2: The people who *will* live there are going to be much lower in income. As we have witnessed in *every other* city's failed urban policies, such concentrations of poverty lead to increased local crime.

Frankly, the market has done a wonderful job in SL of providing "affordable housing" as inRead More nearly 2/3 of housing here is affordable to those with a median income, which is probably much higher than the average Bay Area city. Why might that be? Perhaps because SL government has, in the past, generally not interfered with the market (it has allowed new *market-rate* housing to be developed etc, unlike, say, Berkeley).

What brand is the pastry cutter?
Rowena Peñalba June 18, 2013 at 11:27 pm
It's slightly used but I don't remember where I bought it from. I don't see any brand name on it. IRead More just priced it based on the lowest one available on Amazon. If you're interested, make me an offer. Maybe we can agree on it. Thanks for your inquiry.

I'm not a very regular viewer. Could you be a bit more specific about what changed recently (plusesRead More and minuses)? Thanks.

One of the best operas ever. I hope to see it. How excited for OOT and San Leandro!

Can you reprint this several times prior to June 27. I don't want people to forget about it? Thanks

Leah, do you have the authorization from Disney for the use of the copyrighted Dumbo character youRead More use for your blog? I thought that the policy of Patch was to deny access to non-authorized materials such as this.
Leah Hall June 2, 2013 at 08:12 pm
Nope.
