Won't happen. Typical rw troller. Throw an M-80 into the room and run like a cockroach
100 Days after Republican Filibuster, Rep. Carbajal Calls for Vote on Bipartisan Border Security Package
ANON - cool "proof." Lol The border is not open. Stop parroting that moronic lie. But, here's one for you: why so worried about the covid vax? You folks don't believe it works and we all know it doesn't really stop the spread, so again.... why do you care? Also...is that you, VOICE?

Let’s use Guatemala as an example. It’s the most populated country in Central America. According to John’s Hopkins, 49.75 of the population received at least one dose. So, it’s safe to assume that half of the people from this country who may have crossed the border were vaccinated. Again, what is a reasonable explanation for why Biden opened the border?
The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
Actually, Detroit is coming back strong in the downtown- but that is not the point. TIF's (Tax increment finance districts) do not hand out money. Also TIF's do not provide any benefits unless there is a redevelopment project which fulfills a revitalization vision tied to property tax deferral. Savvy, capable developers would be all over the opportunity to create Housing, Hotels, Tech Incubators which would make our downtown safer, more sustainable, and livable. As well, a TIF would stimulate owners of empty or distressed properties to improve those and participate in development. One point that is key to a safer downtown- we need young people and eventually their families living in the downtown core to energize and create a mixed use 24 hour environment with retail, jobs, entertainment and housing. The idea of Downtown SB as a '12 hour' outdoor shopping mall is a narrow, antiquated image that has disappeared like large department stores in most cities , large and small. .

See my post on Tax increment Financing Districts-- that is the mechanism to bring your vision to life
Pruning and Removal of Select Anapamu Street Italian Stone Pines to Begin Next Month
Sad to see them go, for all the reasons patrick mentioned, but I do understand it, after seeing all the trees that have fallen during rainy and windy times.
Pruning and Removal of Select Anapamu Street Italian Stone Pines to Begin Next Month
Since I went to Cal Poly in the late 70's/early 80's, I've enjoyed driving down Anapamu through the tree tunnel. I remember discussing their ability to survive "between a rock and a hard place" with a landscape architecture student, and we surmised that their days were numbered. They' lasted 40 to 50 years longer than I'd have thought they would. I hope the City can systematically replace removed trees with a species that will be equally majestic (and survive under those tough conditions).

Apparently you choose to ignore the fact that many countries have much better public health systems than we do, even less prosperous countries.

"Why would anyone believe they were vaccinated?" - Because contrary to your apparent beliefs, they're not uneducated animals, they're people too and those with a brain most likely got vaccinated. Or wait, are you saying you really believe Latin American countries don't have the vaccine? Either way, the ignorance is astounding.

If you think the border is open, please try crossing it, and get back to us. Con social media bubbles promote these fallacies about an open border to cater to the fascist anti-immigrant stances of rethuglicans.

Seriously? Why would anyone believe they were vaccinated? I am just pointing out the hypocrisy. People were fired for not being vaccinated, kids were kept out of school, and so on, yet it's perfectly OK to let people enter our country with no background checks, let alone having no idea if they were vaccinated or not. Again, what is the reasonable explanation for why Biden opened the border?

SBsurfer are you referring to the cages the "Deporter in Chief" Barak Obama built? Speaking of kids, the Center for Immigration Studies (https://cis.org/Arthur/Biden-Administration-Lost-Yes-Lost-Nearly-20000-Migrant-Children) states the Biden administration has lost track of nearly 20,000 kids. Bi-partisan bill? Four Republicans voted for it. 4! Again, there is no need for it. Joe has the presidential authority to shut down the border NOW. Again, what reasonable explanation do you have for why Biden opened the border?

Why? What purpose does my answer to a hypothetical serve you? Honestly though, I'd get in their faces and hope they touched me. Does that make you happy now?

Disagree all you want. You're wrong. Doesn't matter to me either way.

"forced to close after the landlord increased their monthly rent by $1,000" - which is why we need to open State st. so cars can drive up and down it. Right?

ANON - how do you know they were "unvaccinated?" Also, aren't those the type of folks you Trump folks love?
