although there's something not quite right about those two vans in the distance that makes me think okinawa might be thinking more along the right lines.

this was my first thought too.

Are there any modest houses left in hermosa or manhattan beach?
I was thinking a more middle class beach town like Oceanside.
― nickn, Monday, 14 June 2021 18:19 (three years ago) link
the houses in hermosa and manhattan are mostly shitholes. they just happen to cost $3m.

the only other thought i had was venice beach, but this looks a little ... culturally suburban for that?

Still looks like California beach town that time forgot, but I didn't think there were any of those any more.

alright well I will formally guess San Juan, Puerto Rico

Definitely looks like American Southwest, but starting to wonder if maybe it's not actually that near the beach.

― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Thursday, 17 June 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
if that red sign with yellow letters just above the STOP sign on the right is a street name sign, then it's probably not in the USA?
"As of 2009, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) approved color schemes for street name signs including a green, blue, or brown background with white text, or a white background with black text"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_name_sign#Color_coding_and_typography - which also mentions there are exceptions though (burgundy in the Fiesta part of Mesa, AZ? Haven't found an example yet)
― StanM, Thursday, 17 June 2021 17:51 (three years ago) link
The street sign background looks more brown than red.
― nickn, Thursday, 17 June 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
i assume a stop sign in puerto rico would say "pare"

StanM already said Hawaii and that has blue bins, similar road markings, red octagonal stop signs, bungaloids as far as the eye can see. Damned if I can narrow it down though.

Pretty sure that's a red golf buggy. Maybe it's near a golf course (at least a dozen in honolulu alone) or maybe someone just likes to tool around in a golf buggy.
― In the wastelands of Birmingham and Manchester, massages are back (ledge), Friday, 18 June 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
but how are these three pictures so... horizontal? Anywere I click on Hawaii has mountains in the background (or I'm doing it wrong)

Hermosa Beach!

I thought someone already kind of guessed it, but I guess not formally.

well done to cherry blossom too, you had us following all kinds of wild red goose herrings.
― StanM, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:30 (three years ago) link
Yes, I was looking all over the place, but I kept coming back to Hermosa Beach, since the street signs were the right shape and color.
― o. nate, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:32 (three years ago) link
lol I was just coming back here to suggest Hermosa having finally found examples of burnt orange streetname signs above the stop signs there.
― nashwan, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
caek mentioned Hermosa! Why didn't we listen? :-)

the low rise relatively dense vibe feels like hermosa or manhattan beach to me, but they have no k street.
the only coastal k street i can find in CA is in san diego, but it's way bigger than this one, unless this is an alley behind k street.

I looked on zillow for price estimates and in the original picture, the house on the left (xmas tree) is estimated at $2.3M and the one next door (behind penis umbrella) is $2.6M.

i was thrown by, among other things, lack of green bins. apparently hermosa is still rolling out green bins which i guess makes sense when a lot of them don't have gardens and many of them are neo-nazis https://www.hermosabeach.gov/our-government/city-manager/environmental-programs/solid-waste.
