We landed at the Santa Barbara airport around 11:00 AM today and there was a big flush of corporate jets departing, and several more on the ramps. Was something going on in town to draw in all of the jets and their riders? There was a large number parked early Friday morning as well.
Maybe this?

The Mayor had a private auction for the exclusive development rights to the next 18 blocks of town she plans to buy using grant money. It’s for the “homeless” so it’s cool Bro.
One after another, hours of very expensive private planes, intermingling with regular commuter traffic. Who knew Goleta would be inundated with air traffic? Even the small jets cause pollution and lots of noise. Not fun.
If you don’t like the noise then move. It will help with the water crisis

When Amazon closes public streets to meet at The Biltmore, how much is the fee to the Countu? What is the money used for? Pot holes, sidewalks or bike lanes?
Backfilling city employee pensions is the biggest city budget item so expect all city revenues to end up in the back pockets of city employees. This has been going on now for years. Why do you think the city demanded a new tax just to get our roads fixed finally. All other city revenues were dedicated to city employee benefits.
