Look them up
I'm a Carpinteria downtown resident, and I think this is excellent, We already have more than sufficient portions of the Carpinteria Bluffs preserved for future generations. What Carpinteria needs, and desperately, is more housing, and 200 new units will go a long ways towards meeting the 900 units required by California. It will be even better when the Chevron oil and gas processing facilities are decommissioned, which will open up even more space for housing.
That restaurant menu is mostly the worst. Hope they will now match the food with the view.
Current homeowners are strained by ‘unaffordable’ taxes, insurance, upkeep. We need an effective CITY MANAGER and with a focus on affordable policy to help residents keep what they have and a city budget that isn’t bleeding at every turn. The ‘affordable’ housing excuse to cram every open space with cheaply built ‘luxury’ has become outrageously foolish, unrealistic and tone deaf.

I love how passionate the fight has finally become in the bottom of the ninth inning.
I love Corazon Cocina Sur, so happy we have them now in Carpinteria. I just wished they would not have plastic forks and knives and plastic wine glasses! Tina's has real wine glasses, so this is where I am getting my wine in future...
Cannon Commercial ?
I dearly hope no one will be “updating” the tile in that fantastic bathroom in Plaza Rubio!
Christine is obviously not paying attention to what is happening except for what she is fed on Fox (notice I didn't say News). Like it or not the agricultural economy in America is dependent on hard working immigrants who do the work that haters like Christine aren't willing to do. In most cases these honest humans have been here for years looking for a better life for themselves and their children and busting their butts every day so Christine can eat healthy, cheap and plentiful produce. Let's see what she thinks when that is no longer available.
Let's not EdHat our Siteline people...
Dan Are you serious.? That comment is sounds very entitled.
I cringe every time I see a comment from Christine with an exclamation point (eye roll).
So it is beneath you to pick your own produce? Note to self- some real winners here
Hope they start by editing out nail biters who think telling others "you can't comment" is a good idea
What is the downside to cars back on State? There'd still plenty of room pedestrians, there'd still be bike lanes, les out of control e-bikes, all while bringing back people who still rely heavily on cars (the elderly, the disable, the lazy, and the tourists) as well as bringing back parades. All this talk recently of "activating" State Street while ignoring that the most active State Street has even been was during parades.
What "overbuilding" in Santa Barbara? Next to nothing has been built in the last 5 years.
Yes, this! I'm also a resident downtown and support just building more housing. Luxury units make sense for new development, which in turn puts downward pressure on the prices for existing housing, making those units more affordable. And FWIW, more affordable housing is also in the pipeline nearby with the Presidio Springs redevelopment project.
The last thing the city needs is cars back on State Street.
I hope the new owners remove the fire pits located between the main structure and the pool. They may have been expensive to install but they look cheap and tacky. Visual clutter distracting from the real star of the show; El Encanto’s beautiful natural environment.
They did a big remodel not so long ago so hopefully it wouldn’t shut down. They have weddings around the very beautiful pond but it doesn’t hold many people. It’s a great location and the grounds are beautiful and they’re nice about letting locals walk through on daily dog walks.
Been obsessed with Porta frozen pepperoni pizza. You can find it at Bristol Farms and Sprouts. Hopefully, that's not the one you had and were disappointed in, ha!
As a resident of downtown, I believe we need all housing types downtown. We need all income people living downtown to make the businesses viable and the overall community vibrant. At a cost of $1M per affordable unit, the city/county don’t have the resources (taxpayers) to build enough affordable housing and private builders of housing don’t work for free.
Okay Linden Square report - - The BEST item I've had so far (and the mole taco IS tasty) Eric at Cocina Corizon Sur are the aquachiles - only served here and much better than the ones i had in Mexico's costa allegre...the music IS too loud.. some of us don't want music ALL the time.. take note Linden Square. Some mellow but good jazz or even calming classical would be nice from time to time..for whoever is programming the music.
Well, according to this recent grand jury report it cost $1M to build an affordable unit in this city. The city has created such a restrictive and regulated building environment luxury housing is the only type of housing that can be built. https://www.noozhawk.com/grand-jury-calls-for-urgent-action-on-south-coast-housing-crisis/
The last thing the City needs is luxury housing downtown.
