HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Plaza Rubio house for $750,000 over asking price; Mediterranean on Lilac Drive; 1953 house “in a state of disrepair” on 5.53 acres in outer Carpinteria; Loma Alicia townhome off-market; 1958 Mesa house in “mostly original condition”; Lower Riviera three-bedroom; and more. See what sold—and for how much.

BURNING QUESTIONS
“We’d love to find out the status of the vacant lot at Milpas and De La Guerra. It was a gas station decades ago, and I thought it was being decontaminated—but the process seems stalled. It’s such a key corner for the Eastside.”

Why would Field + Fort open The Larder in Carpinteria as opposed to Santa Barbara? Seems like the audience for something like this in SB… — Paul

yeah, because carnivores will not eat any dish that is plant-based or worse, labeled vegan. — Ken

Ahh, ok. — HM

maybe they should devote 1-3% of their menu space to the vegan population — Bettye Jones
