Nope. In fact, it's not anywhere near State Street.

I am in need of an additional 50k to complete a 20% down payment on a house i would like to buy. Should I do a Kickstarter ? If I need it people should do their part and help me buy my house.
Darn! But I know I’ve seen it somewhere. Happy 4th

Dave, I'm not in any way associated with project or specifically aware of its budgeting, but I do know they employ many staff including 24/7 security, etc. so much of the cost is going toward personnel expenses. I am actually in favor of this project and I don't mean to disparage it but I do have some more generalized philosophical questions about the non-profit industrial complex and what has gone wrong in this country with regards to our ability to carry out any type of service or project at a reasonable cost, whether its accomplished through the private or non-profit sector or carried out by the government itself. Many other countries seem to do much better than we can.
I hope 75 million gets you a butler's pantry to hide the microwave in.
Nothing clever about their request for donations
I have no idea what a reasonable amount is for this kind of thing, but I do wish we had invested in permanent housing rather than a four-month period.
Hi Eric, Initially I was enthused to learn that the City was exploring a housing solution for the homeless population. However, my jaw dropped when I saw the cost. At $2.0 million for 4 months and 50 people, it comes to $10,000 per month per person. Does that sound high to you, especially given the Rose Hotel is a very modest hotel? Have you seen any discussion on how the cost has been estimated?
If nothing else the Good Plows Kickstarter campaign is a clever way to raise awareness. I now know that they will have ice cream, a patio, vegetables and that I’ll be able to have sit down meals and it’s not just a deli! Sometimes these sorts of campaigns are for brand awareness rather than pure fundraising. This is a modern way for businesses to ask for help. I hope they are successful and open soon.
I was one of the poor fools that donated $500 and never was able to redeem my private dinner for 6.
Mozilo "can't enjoy his home?" People should remind him how many Americans lost their homes due to his ponzi scheme greed...how the world economy tanked due to his souless, heartless scam. He disgusts me.
Please do read up on Solvang’s infamous BACON & BRINE. What a crappy experience it was for most donaters- nobody got their promised “level of commitment” reward. Ended in flames -the restaurant did- I will NEVER donate to a budiness start up after watching friends try to redeem their donated funds issuance.
To be fair, Kickstarter donations above $10 get something for their money. I'm not saying there isn't a donation element, but it's not pure charity.
I was born and raised in Carpinteria and as a Carp local I am insulted that this for profit business is asking for community help. Thanks what banks are for! Or are you planning on donating part or all of your profits? That’s what’s wrong with this generation. They think their issues/problems are everyone else’s and they should get help just because they need it. Grow up and work a few more years and save enough money to take this project on yourself! Jeeez! Carp local out.
