I’m heartbroken.
I drive back-and-forth from Santa Barbara to Camarillo and I always look for the red shoe. I can’t believe that beautiful heel was stolen. Hopefully they find the culprit and bring it back. It does need a paint job, however.🫶🏻
Why be so negative? It’s wonderful that it will remain open and that residents will be so close, alas, right on the railroad tracks however.
For what it's worth I'm an architect and call that style you're wondering about "Extruded Gable Modern." It's an "edgy" take on the most simple house form imaginable (think of a kid drawing a house), that has lost its edginess due to so many people doing it.
So happy tri country!!!
The last version appears to have the market almost intact. I think good. I do miss the orange juice machine on the sales floor but I am old.
How cool would it be to have all the overflow of rats, mice, cockroaches and miscellaneous vermin that grocery stores and restaurants attract crawling through your front yard and into your home, eating and reproducing? They will never go hungry again!
VOTE THEM OUT !
i see that big red stiletto literally every saturday going and coming from moore park CA visiting my father who is at a rehabilitation center for those who have suffered a stroke , my boyfriend and grandpa thought i was crazy when i first mentioned it to them until i pointed it out and they seen themselves, i always wonder why and how random of a spot and how id love to have that as a chair!! i really hope it is found and returned!!!
All I'm suggesting is that the sign say "no outlet for cars" or something like that.
Important to leave "no outlet" sign! That dead-end road leads to Butterfly Walkway where motorized ebikers and speeding racing bikes already threaten walkers, joggers and families strolling with children.
11 W Ortega St
Leave the sign "no outlet" as it is. Bikers and walkers will certainly figure it out . No need to promote more traffic in this area.
Nope, but thanks for guessing!
The revamped concert shell - corner Castillo/Cabrillo
I read that the developers are putting an apartment building right behind Tri-County Produce. How cool would it be to have a grocery store in your front yard? Never go hungry again!
The encircling “estate” wrought iron fence matches the current backyard fence that was there when I purchased property?
Please tell me Peter, where is the ugly part? As I’ve only had compliments on the new fence/gates/lights.
I previewed the home before it went on the market, and I actually loved the fence. I don’t know what was there before, but I thought the fence elevated the property and made it estate-like. I particularly liked the charm of the home and the Master bedroom views are sensational.
Actually a lot of the homes on the Mesa that are selling for insane prices are being bought up by mega millionaires from out of town, who only use them for a few weeks a year. Most of the time they sit empty…not rented out. They have turned the Mesa and the hedgerow into ghost towns…1/3 empty….other cities are charging extra taxes to non residents…the money goes to support affordable housing. Santa Barbara needs to get onboard !
Unfortunately the Cookie Plug is an example of what most every business and property owners in Santa Barbara must endure. The bureaucracy is impossibly expensive and fickle in who it impacts….for example, if you are in their little club, you’ll be bestowed with untold benefits and advantages to allow your business to succeed. Keep your eye on those who are being allowed to build or open things that would normally be impossible. In addition, most aren’t aware that the City (your tax dollars) fund 13 in house attorneys, so when you go to battle with the City, you’d better be able to afford to be seriously lawyered up because your tax dollars are being used to fund their legal onslaught on you.
The Cajun Kitchen in Goleta is the one next to Target. There is another one in Goleta on Calle Real and Fairview. Hopefully, that one is open.
It’s only going to get worse until people vote differently and face the fact that voting in California is likely heavily “modified”. Control your government or it will control you. Glad we got out of SB a few years ago.
Re:124 La Marina. The sole reason this house (and others between Cliff and the ocean) go for these astronomical prices is they ALL become vacation rentals. There is no limit in this part of Santa Barbara and despite the fact that the Mayor and a city council member both live in the area, nothing is being done. What used to be neighborhoods with neighbors is now Airbnb-land. Compare the prices above and below Cliff and you will see the difference. Shame on the city.
The struggle to satiate the Markel Winfrey crowd is real.
Yes!! Let's tear down as much as we can and build affordable housing because commuting from Goleta is a nightmare. Everyone deserves to live in SB, hell, everyone deserves to live in Montecito am I right? Keep letting this small minority of DEI screamers decide how to rearrange the city and see how that ends up for you. Spoiler alert: It ends badly.
The desperation by some in SB to provide affordable housing continues. Build enough of them and you'll get your ultimate wish of affordable homes as you destroy the very thing that creates all the demand to be here. And to the majority that live here and stay silent about it, you are complicit in this and as they destroy things slice by slice, you'll wake up one day with pie in your face.
