The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
2 things, then i'm moving on from this. 1: the road being closed makes it not a road. therefore SBPD can't enforce CERTAIN laws and regulations. Reopening the road brings back a lot of our traffic. I work in a retail business on State street. Majority of all retail outlets down here have had a massive drop in foot traffic since the closing of State. This is fact. I attend business meetings with others downtown and hear their complaints and wishes as well. We want the road reopened and back to business as usual. I guess if you don't work down town, live downtown, and commute around this place, you won't get it.

Wow! A well deserved honor for Potter!
Improper Battery Disposal Caused Trash Truck Fire in Old Town Goleta
Could be an inexpensive battery for pretty much anything -- you see cylindrical cells like that in most packs where space isn't a big concern. (Packs that need to fit into a confined space use pouch cells instead.)
100 Days after Republican Filibuster, Rep. Carbajal Calls for Vote on Bipartisan Border Security Package
On Biden's first day in office, he used his presidential authority to strike down most of Trump's border policies. This unleashed a torrent of people entering our country illegally, and it has continued on a scale that we have never seen before. Now, Democrats like Salud are trying to flip the script by blaming Republicans. Biden had the presidential authority to remove border policies and he has the presidential authority to replace them. Politicians must think we are as dumb as rocks, and unfortunately, in many cases, they are not wrong. People should ask themselves, why did Biden change policies that worked in order to flood our country with millions of undocumented, unvetted, unvaccinated people? The inescapable conclusion is, future votes.

Peter Rupert- please take a class on Tax Increment Finance districts (TIF) incentives for urban revitalization. It is astounding that this idea has not been studied or proposed for Santa Barbara's downtown. The simple concept is that for targeted types of development (Housing, service retail (grocery store) , Business/ Tech Incubators, property developers receive a pause on property taxes for several years . That savings is equity for developers /owners of targeted types of revitalizing development- which pays off when the property tax on the enhanced value properties kicks in in the future. This mechanism has underpinned many significant downtown Renaissances... Peter please get up to speed on this- you have a platform

Pure tourist destinations...which SB is not. Santa Fe has an even worse disparity between income of longtime resident families and recent wealthy 2nd home residents. Better comparison to Santa Fe is Montecito

"This gives PD their jobs back on State Street." Mopping up after all the car/bike car/pedestrian collisions, I guess. "Do not allow land owners to indefinitely shutter buildings on State Street." How?

LOL ... such a shame that his racist rant defending white nationalism was deleted.

And these con jerks are more jingoist than plain old nationalist.

Who? Do you mean the insurrectionist Giuliani? He's obviously suffering from dementia, like his orange hero, since his days as a mayor.

"Also if you look up Nationalist, it means pride of Country and making it first and foremost when it comes to other countries. How is THAT a negative." - Did you also look up "white pride" and conclude it's a good thing? "I think you are confusing Nationalism with 'White Supremist' which is a whole nother class, and a very very small minority" - No. "They could not go to enough of his high society bashes. Do you know Trump, by request by Rev Jessie Jackson, gave a rent free office space to his Ranbow Coalition in 40 WallStreet. Trump has never been a racist, nor would we follow him had he were." - LOL, of course he's not a racist. What media do you read/hear that? Ask him about The Central Park 5 and get back to us. "As for the idiots harrasing people on Stae St. Notice the cops never came when called. THAT is what I meant by an absentee PD nad your absentee Chief." - They didn't come because no crime was committed. That's the whole point with the "First Amendment Auditors." You can say offensive things, but can't be arrested for it. "If your community had any spine, members of it would self police the street and not let people be harrased. Better yet, the people BEING harassed would stand up for THEMSELVES. ." - So you suggest what? Attacking people for their words? THAT is a crime. You cry about law and order, yet belittle us locals (the ones who serve and feed your ilk) for not assaulting law abiding idiots? You defend and make excuses for racism, yet call liberal ideas "excrement?" You live in a lie, C. A lie fueled by hate and ignorance. Keep your trash out of our town.

I agree. It's the "make America like I think it used to be again" mentality, or the rose-colored memory that's always been with us. Yeah I don't see allowing cars on those 8 or 9 blocks as a solution to anything. I'm cool with having parades on State St and improving parklets, lots of things can improve without throwing the whole place back to auto dominance.

KIRK – 100%. Really, I think it’s more of the whole, Conservative-led fantasy about the “old days” and how it “used to be.” They love nothing more than to bemoan current problems as if they never existed in the past and “mourn” for days long gone when they could “go fishin’ with my dog and grandson” or whatever bs nostalgia they’re peddling. State used to be even more “gamey” if you asked me, back when I used to hang out in the late 80s/90s. Way more cops back then too. Cars being able to drive on State will do nothing, much like in the past, to improve business and “clean up” the street. It’s all wishful thinking and lamenting for a past that never actually was.
