We were wonderfully lucky to have the street restricted of campers, stray cars lining our main street off the 154 and Cathedral Oaks. The space is now very limited but once again there are campers a black Van that never move. There is always a strawberry vendor who is there every day to make life easy for us and never leaves a mess. I wish I could say that about the other vehicles where there are people living. Perhaps Santa Barbara has to find a place for folks who only have their vehicles to live in.
Each time I drive past that area I wonder how those trucks and other vehicles are allowed to park there for hours and even days on end. Maybe that’s some jurisdictional “gray area” for which no one wants to take responsibility?
They also camp under the underpasses as 154 approaches town. Lots of sketchy behavior in those otherwise expensive neighborhoods.
There are no underpasses on the 154 are you talking about the Salvar Rd overhead.
Slab City Goleta Here I come!
Well, if trash bags are there for a week maybe someone passing by could stop, get it and take it to somewhere there’s a trash receptacle. Take about 1 or 2 minutes. We are either part of the solution or part of the problem.
Illegal campers off of 154 just as the sundowners start. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe it’s a bigger resentment lol.
This post and the responses is disturbing but maybe the OP is actually concerned about the circumstances of people who live as “homeless” or in RVs. I am cheered by the naive question asking if maybe we have to do something to help them. But no comments offer any support for this idea. Instead many simply vilify. How mean.
Strawberries sales: permit? License? Taxes?
