With all these hotel rooms available for tourists, let’s finally ban short-term rentals in housing stock so residents can find a place to live.

The double street signs pictured below led me to believe that this was the border between Montecito and Santa Barbara, but according to Google Maps, I crossed into Santa Barbara a while back. Did the folks on Eucalyptus Hill Drive add the Montecito-style sign in an effort to be thought of as in Montecito?
This area, according to:
https://california.hometownlocator.com/cities/map,n,montecito-ca,fid,1661052.cfm
is in Montecito.
Exactly my thoughts!! We residents conserve so the tourists can come play?
I’m guessing Oye Vey Maria’s is a play on Ave Maria? Thus the “e”.
We’ve been to L’Antica in Hollywood several times. Not only great pizza but world class pasta! Can’t wait for it to open!
Drill baby drill!
I’d much rather see high density housing than hospitality in most of these locations.
Where is the water these hotels will need coming from?
Peaceful living space is essential. This article reminds me to avoid stack and pack multi-family units, to never share a wall, and to seek an acre or more for distance from inconsiderate others. Occupied ADUs built right up to the contiguous neighbor's border pose a similar problem. WHY no demand from locals to City or County of Santa Barbara officials to push back?
Why not go to Picasso directly, as a potential buyer, and find out if you can rent your share out?
Casa Del Herrero :)
No, but thanks for guessing!

Someone’s making turtle soup…?
My sister and her friends came to town and they stayed at the El Encanto. They were all very happy with every aspect, the rooms, the service, the food, the grounds, the view, ... It is far from "soulless".
We ate at Sevtap a few days before they closed their doors. The owner said they will be doing some pop ups around town. So please keep your eyes open for them and let’s show them our support. They are a wonderful family!
At least the noise is only 1/8 of the time.??? What if my regular neighbour is noisy or has a vacation home he and his friends are using?
Sometimes it’s not the model itself what is wrong…
Just my 2 cents
No….
The El Encanto Hotel
Too bad the soulless and bland El Encanto can’t restore the badass green neon sign that used to grace its entrance.
Nope….

Hi there! Thanks for the shout out on Rancho La Paloma in the foothills! Please feel comforted in knowing that the carpeting in the house is brand new! (no clippings for you to worry about!) Also, the @4 acre parcel extends all the way to the lane and is not a flag lot. There is so much room to expand the possibilities for a country lifestyle conveniently close to town. Zoned one acre and allows horses. Thanks!
Afraid not!
