I find it quite interesting that things, which are not quite as desirable but needed in Santa Barbara end up in the least desirable parts of town. At least for a while until these things spread out and take over. The NIMBYS did not see that coming. I have always loved the East Side since I first moved here in 1985 or so. I’ve been on the West Side a few times too but the East is my home. I was for the homeless shelter when it opened up down here. Through the years I have had trouble with staff members more than anyone else and only a couple issues with homeless folks.
However, I haven’t had issues with PATH staff at all. The guy that ran the shelter before PATH was horrible: always yelling about one thing or another and blaming the neighborhood for the problems of the homeless, although I think he himself caused most of the problems. I don’t like that the homeless shelters are turning into Alcohol and Drug rehabs but at least there are not as many problems. Now that the North Side is becoming the New East Side that is acceptable (just kidding). Suggest something like the Guardian Angels and it turns into “Oh it’s really not that bad. We can do it ourselves.” And that is fine though it’s been this way all along. Meanwhile, the more a town grows so does everything else (including crime). That is just the way it is.

Roger, yesterday (04/18) there was a story on Edhat about a vehicle rollover accident at W. Micheltorena Street & Almond Avenue. Today the story seems to have disappeared. Do you have any idea why?
No, they do that though….. Editor might have pulled it what do you need to know? It was a four vehicle accident with injuries one vehicle was reported to be smoking traffic was a nightmare.
Will that certainly is a bummer for someone but maybe the homeless will score.
Ground Zero McKenzie Park..
There is crime in the shopping center but more crime then McKenzie Park hard to say though most of what goes on in the park is subjects under the influence, and Drunks passed out, camping Lock your Vehicles…
