Nice write ups about local homes. I’ve been to that house in Hope Ranch (before it was redone and when it was owned by our friends). It isn’t narrow at all - everything about it feels big. Usable land feels large too. I don’t think I have ever seen the other houses you profiled on this page.
536 State St. Joes Cafe Cota St side of building.
That on-ramp is scary as all getout. ALMOST as scary as any Arroyo Seco Parkway on-ramp.
The southbound San Ysidro exit onto 101 has always been an issue, even before the Miramar reopened (but certainly amplified after Caruso won his years-in battle). Getting rid of it altogether is a terrible idea. Lengthening it would be ideal.
I wonder if we’ll still be allowed to turn left on the red light, onto Haley from Anacapa street, after the 400 block of Anacapa is turned into a two-way street/block. Either way, not a bad idea.
Rare Society does indeed have the prices. If you go to the link you provided then scroll down to current menu you will find them. I assumed they'd be super high but they seem pretty standard to maybe a touch on the low end.
pesky hobo coffee squatters?
It has been filthy for a long, long time. Lots of people cut the corner, there are people sleeping there at night....but it wouldn't be this filthy if they had bothered to clean it awhile ago.
I don’t disagree with you, Jillian, but that would be a super hard spot to keep clean. I’m guessing that everyone who’s going to the coffee shop (is it still there?) and CVS (if it’s still there? Lol) cut that corner. And then there are the unhoused who may or may not (are they still there?) seek shelter there at night.
la Kaiser might take a little time and wash the front walkway to their store. It is absolutely FILTHY.
Not a good way to start off a business when they don't take the time to make sure things are clean.
check out Jim Denevan up in Santa Cruz... a truly incredibly artist!

Seems like a natural fit to use at least some of this as UCSB graduate student housing, with an emphasis on engineering/tech grad students in particular - what an absolute coup in recruiting and retaining such students in the future.
Good one
That great news and a fitting acquisition for a company that was a founded by two UCSB Alumni. I hope they do honor Karl by keeping the Volleyball court
We have a neighbor rooster and I love it! <3
I'm not sure what a Montecito sound wall would look like? 20-foot hedge and no sidewalk?
The sound wall is totally Riverside, not Montecito even a little bit.
Love Domecil!
like to know more about what’s happening , this is good info!
Art Department! ~ The original QAD project design was an Architectural competition won by Andy Neumann’s firm with my assistance as a design consultant. Included in the concept was an infinity pool that faced Fernalds but was lost to value engineering!
not zoned for high density is it?
Holy moly!!!!
Let’s hope to god for the town of Summerland that they don’t put student housing.
I bet they put executive administration there or a tech park for one of their high-revenue international degrees/programs. How wonderful to be in that location.
Agree with BW, 100%. Was under the impression that the sound walls were a no-go for 'Cito, but apparently, I didn't read the fine print. In any case, they are UGLY. Happy that Jamison Lane folks get their sound barrier, but not sure the "greater good" was served, if that's keeping Montecito "semi' rural, as opposed to "Inland Empire".
