Can you reach out to me? [email protected]
I have questions about Joanne, who is married to him I am related to her
I believe he already did. He is just reiterating here. He wants everyone in th community to see it.
Bravo. I completely agree.
I find it hard to believe you are actually who you say you are. If, in fact, you are, you are certainly not someone who treasures where you live, and have no desire to preserve it.
Oh well, I guess there are people like you. I am all for new housing. Developing the Bluffs for that purpose seems to be the most destructive. There are more properties available for that purpose than that irreplaceable treasure of nature.
Can you reach out to me? I am doing some research on my mom’s cousin who was Lester’s wife I believe
I love the Diana Lane house. The neighborhood is charming and I think the kitchen is fine. The louvered windows have to go though. Agreed that the Eucalyptus Hill house will go fast and over list!
Both mission and riviera developments should be shut down immediately and these types of developments banned from ever being able to be submitted. Wake up Santa Barbra and Montecito! CA doesn't care about all the quaint towns that make up our great state. They care about the almighty $$ in the name of a housing crisis! Current leadership is great at messaging lies.
It’s not about if sidewalk signs “look good” they are an accessibility hazard and have been for years. Ask my blind husband how tripping over these signs feels walking around this city or a wheelchair user having to go into the roadway to go around them deters them from certain areas of town that aren’t as safe as they used to be. This requirement has already been in place but not enforced for 4+ years. They are still just as visible off to the side.
Wonderful food, ambience and service A Santa Barbara gem
There's no irony in 250 rental units that would destroy the view corridor of one of the most important historic structures in the state.
the hotel by the beach wouldn’t cause a 25 minute delay in evacuating Mission Canyon.
A proposed 270-unit apartment building with approximately 450 cars needing to exit onto a two-lane evacuation route, where all vehicles must make a right turn, would face significant congestion. Under ideal conditions, assuming a conservative three-second gap per car, it would take about 22 to 25 minutes for all vehicles to complete the turn. However, real-world factors such as traffic congestion, limited lane capacity, cautious driver behavior during an emergency, and queue spillback could substantially increase this delay. This bottleneck would pose serious evacuation risks to at least two thousand people living behind the project who rely on the same route for safe egress.
I'd suggest reaching out to the Montecito Association.
Hi. I love your newsletter!! Maybe this isn’t up your alley but I am a walking Montecitoan and I love to use the tunnel. The tunnel has always been a place where I might meet a few homeless people but it now seems someone is delivering toiletries and goods in boxes to them. While this is so very kind; it is encouraging the homeless to use the tunnel as a de facto home. The population around the tunnel is growing and it is starting to feel a bit unsafe (even in mid day). Maybe a shout out by you would be worthwhile or can you advise me where to seek help?
Funny how the same developers who pushed a 250-room hotel through approvals are now saying 250 rental units would ruin Santa Barbara. Hard not to notice the irony.
I am simply thrilled this gains attention from others besides myself.
Yes, Nancy said that regarding people using drugs, and, of course, everyone started saying No to drugs and stopped, thus solving the nation's drug problem. Right? No, it did not, the problem got worse, and simply saying "no" to change, won't stop it either.
Nancy Reagan would disagree with your statement. This was her famous quote.
"Just say No."

We all need get active, write local and state leaders re: our disapproval of the way they are handling this "housing crisis". Forced building does not remedy the affordable housing situation since most workforce people still can't afford these developer's asking prices. Is the short-sightedness of politicians worth ruining the beauty of California by mass development.?! We cannot be passive on this matter!
You're welcome to buy the parcel so you say NO to whatever you want. Or you can tear down your house and restore the land its sitting on to help preserve the beauty and spirit of where we live
Nice try. There is enough building planned at the end of Bailard (172+ units) and East of it on Via Real. (139+ units. Once building is completed, the four-way stop intersection of Via Real and Bailard will become a nightmare in the mornings and evenings.
I wish someone would develop off of Foothill instead of crowding an already crowded area.
The non-capitalized letters are too short. The dot over the i and the d should line up with the top of the capitalized letters. Now my OCD will kick in every time I see that sign. Can it be fixed?
Re : SYR
Too much space between the words
Totally agree! We need to preserve open spaces for everyone‘s wellbeing. Plus, unfortunately new housing is not affordable to those who need it. It only ruins our small coastal communities with more traffic, crowding, etc.
