The building style will absolutely not age well.
Nancy - agreed. I'm curious what the ABR said in the meeting about how "un-SB" looks.
And a pool on site? Give me a break... the ocean is literally steps away.
Nancy, I agree! Why are developers/architects so intent on chipping away at the SB "look"? If they want to build random buildings that could be Anywhere USA go to Ventura or Oxnard or really any other town in California. This hotel design does not belong in SB.
So much for consistency of the SB city architecture. The new hotel building style looks out of place and gentrified. Not saying it's a bad design but it surely doesn't fit in with SB.
Cat Cora = blow torch or silent partner moving on?
Ahh yes, back when being anti-war, pro-free speech and supporting individual freedoms was a very liberal position, fast forward to today and now it's a very right-wing (or "republitard" as SB Democrat puts it) position. Crazy how times have changed.
SB Democrat, are you aware we're like 60-70% Dem here in SB, and the Democrats control a super majority in our State legislature and the governors office? Those watching Fox News aren't the idiots - those who resort to name calling and regurgitating DNC talking points/generalizations without an ounce of independent thinking on the other hand....
The Santa Barbara County Civil Grand Jury is part of a California constitutionally-mandated system designed to be a watchdog of local governments. The system works, but only if we volunteer and pay heed to the reports published!

You're absolutely right. (Thanks!) DeGeneres and de Rossi paid $5.4 million for the house last April and sold at a loss.
If Ellen and Portia bought it in April of 2020 who paid $5.4 mm for it in 2022? It looks to me like they took a haircut on this one selling for $5.1??
Name calling craziness is not illuminating in the least Get some help
The adult book store on state and Gutierrez is where I went to Jr high!
It was the “Free School “ in the 70’s - a school without walls - a time of Peace ☮️ marches , banana bread and transcendental meditation ????
Anyone remember this random fact ?
Regarding the two on one hotel project, wonder how the housekeeping staff will reply when asked in a common area for something by a guest and it is the "wrong" staff. % of potential rentable area for a manager is curious. Unsure if the building style will age well, the effect on surrounding future construction in acceptable style will be a let down for the zone.

Let me know what you find out about the free school in SB - ✌️
Tax revenues are lower because the rich republitards do not pay their fare share. They are FoxNews watching idoits who drive around in their large SUVs and emiting greenhouse gases that are heating the planet. I will not stand for there stupidity and I will always vote Democrat.
It didn’t; someone made a typo. It sold for $2.4 million.
Wow, take it easy on the MSM Kool-Aid. You should get out more and talk to real people rather than listen to whatever sensationalism is being spewed on TV for the sole purpose of inciting you so you keep watching/clicking and make them more money. Amazing how in the same sentence you can say "we cannot take any more greenhouse gas emissions.... or the world will cease to existing as we know it" and "moronic right wingers to stupid to know this". Truly amazing.
Why did mesa fixer just sell for $240,000?
My college friend opened up Moped City in the mid 1970’s next door to the adult bookstore. Yep, it’s been there forever. I guess Joe’s is another longstanding State st business although they were in a different location on State back then.
I’m so sick and tired of all these FoxNews-watching republitards thinking they can come in here an build whatever they want in order to fatten their wallets. We cannot take any more greenhouse gas emissions from these projects or the world will ceese to exist as we know it, but the moronnic right wingers our to stupid to know this.
What is the significance of the horseshoe motif? I recently saw similar horseshoes newly embedded in the ground in the parking area at Arlington Plaza, home of Carlitos restaurant. Just curious.
Anyone local knows The Adult Store! It’s been there to walk past since my actual childhood. I can still remember being a kid and it feeling a little creepy. Now that I’m an adult it doesn’t bother me what other adults find entertaining and I barely notice it, but I can imagine it’s probably still noticeable to kids; at least the storefront is toned since the ‘70s. It indirectly features on the Jeff Shelton walking tour (which I just took relatives on) because if you start at the Pistachio House and it’s storefronts, and then continue up State to Ablitt, you walk right past it (as my 93-year-old FIL pointed out). It’s now one of the oldest businesses on State St if not the oldest now that Thrifty (Rite Aid) is closed
Way too LA!
SNAP!
Great idea
