I have serious concerns about the excessive speeds many vehicles travel on the local roads in the Santa Ynez area. To whom should I direct my concerns and observations? Thank you.
Your OP left the erroneous impression that the business you mentioned were gone when in fact several just relocated. I wanted to clarify for any readers that some of the businesses you cite are very much alive--and IN the Valley, just not in the same town where they began. As for a "dusty camping trailer" that's not to your liking, others might just find it delightful. Opinions are funny like that.
Moving to a dusty camping trailer on the backside of Los Olivos, in a gravel parking lot, is not a âmove upââŚall the businesses I listed have left the town of Santa Ynez, which opens the door for some businesses that may serve the actual residents of Santa Ynez, not the ones here on the weekends..
Not sure if referencing "dropping out" of Santa Ynez the town or the Valley overall. Several of the businesses you mention have moved or are trying to: Queen Cup moved into a sweet Airstream adjacent to the also relocated (SY) General, both now in Los Olivos, and Lucky Hen Larder says they're searching for another space. Also, SYV Pantry is moving up Sangunto St, in SY (next door to Baker's Table). Add in the delightful Stica, difficult-to-score Santa Ynez Sourdough, and Lucky Penny opening in Los Olivos, just to name a few, the Valley's commercial climate appears robust.
We used to live around the corner from the Cuesta house and I always loved the faded glamour of the place, and the interior photos do not disappoint. Love that you can spend $3.6m for a fixer here (*sob*).

They also have a showtimes app.
'Six-Acre Compound in the Upper Village Sells for $47.59 Million', this is very high for 6 acres in Montecito. Wonder what's really going on with this because knowing Montecito properties,
Re: carpool lanes, it would be nice if they could instead be toll lanes for single drivers (and free/reduced for carpoolers) so they could also serve as a revenue generator for infrastructure and maintenance. Is that at all possible in the future? or would it be cost- or space-prohibitive to install the systems needed for that?
I'm wondering the same thing. Do they take the profit and roll it into that project or are they out of SB completely.
The site renderings show stairs and a switch-back incline from the sidewalk to the building. The bottle shop is all at street level. What accounts for the 2-3 feet of new elevation?
The solar panel covered carport looks very âurban plannerâ to me, but that must be part of the LEED Gold certification.
Thank you I was wondering this the other day when it was so beautiful out, standing over it while it stunk like creosote and tar. It's been there for 3+ months, It's just not OK it's so ugly thank you for the information. I mean they spend all this money to relandscape the area and then throw a nasty pipe up along the bank where you can't even see the ocean from the grass. It's just so subpar.
That last photo of the South Coast Deli sign doesn't quite fit. On Saturday morning I was working at Dart Coffee/Tamar doing some gardening when two trucks of plant assassins pulled up. Within 30 minutes half of what you see in the photo was gone, an hour later nothing was left of the Giant Burmese Honeysuckle vine that had grown there for many years.
Just so we're all clear: I am not a real estate agent, and I have no financial interest in whether a property sells. When I write about a listing, my goal is to help readersâincluding potential buyersâsee the property as clearly as possible. And as for my tone, I'll quote Shirley Jackson: If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree.
Pretty sure the only time he's getting paid to help sell a house is when he runs an ad for a realtor. Other than that his posts are purely informational - with a healthy heaping of fairly funny snark.
So many businesses dropping out of Santa Ynez- Queen Cup Coffee, The General, Lucky Hen Larder, Asher, Brass Tack, now Cross Hatch- I predict businesses that serve the residents of the Valley vs the visitors makes a strong comeback. Like Buellton, SY has regular folks with regular needs, and those needs are not being met currentlyâŚ.the Valley business shortcomings are a constant topic on facebook- a yogurt shop serving coffee with play area for kids? A goldmine!
The restrictions also only apply to projects with a planning permit, because the restriction is not an ordinance, rather it's a policy that gets applied as a condition on planning permits. Projects that don't require a planning permit, such as ADUs and other things that only require building permits or no permits at all, do not have conditions applied to them so the restrictions don't exist for those projects.
Me too. It was such a bad decision to close it.
Thank you for copying and pasting from the article I just read.
Really missing Stella Mare
That's his job? Since when?
Asana has ~$8 billion in assets under management. Given the jaw dropping figure and their current portfolio, expect chains like Warby Parker. Not exactly Montecito/SB vibes
I primarily read this for the snarky comments
Amen! After what they did to the prior tenants, not to mention the gym and Stella Mares
From everything Iâve read, the State of California did not grant a penny toward this street art project. The $100k grant is from the Bloomberg Foundation.
