The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
ROTFLMAO! Yeah, the local full time troll is a real voice of reason. (Where is *that* guy, anyway? He was such a charmer. Left a big void for Basic to fill.)

"What I meant by her being ‘absentee’ was that she was not doing her job." Well, that's not true. But if you're so smart (not) and want to campaign to take her job, go for it. "... Giulliani (sic) ..." LOL! He's a racist, a corrupt fascist, and a traitor and is about to go through some things. "rudimentary common sense" That's what rudimentary intellects employ.

Why would you think that stating things would "avail" you of anything? Why would expect writing letters to people who agree with you would change anything? How would voting out current council members (or should we only vote out the men?), to be replaced with unknown persons, make things better? Santa Barbara has done that before ... it doesn't generally go well. What do you know about our Police Chief, aside from nothing at all, the same as what you know about anything else? Here's an idea: pay your taxes and then some, support tax enforcement, pressure corporations and wealthy individuals to pay their fair share, stop voting for the party of grifters ... then maybe the city could afford to hire more police. Also go have a word with your white nationalist friends in masks who are harassing people on State St.

SB Unified and CSEA Agree in Concept to Details of Reclassification Application, Rubric, and Decision Tree
"CSEA’s proposal for Article 17 requested double-time hazard pay for anyone who comes to work during a Federal, State, or local state of emergency. " What?! That would be during any fire. County employees, even from other departments but working in the emergency ops center, don't get hazard pay. Every county employee is automatically an emergency employee during emergencies. Schools are the same. It's part of what you sign up for.

Have coffee shops and bordellos like they do in Amsterdam. State Street is already set up for it.

Kids too? Ugh, that is annoying! Not sure I'd be very forgiving if antagonizing masked losers were taking photos/video of my kids.

How did they find people on State St to harrass? I keep reading that State St is dead because cars aren't able to drive on it. Good to hear that's not the case.

You can film anyone in public without their permission, adults and kids. It's actually a pretty annoying law.

Best local spot in SB. Very sad to hear of Mr. Peri's passing and I hope that the restaurant can continue on and see the folks there employed doing what they do so well.

Walking around calling people socialists with nothing better to do then antagonize and annoy people. Guess who they will be voting for in November?

Arnoldi’s was a great restaurant back in the 70’s when the OG owners ran it. Great memories. After they sold it, not so good.

RIP to Mr. Peri and condolances to his family and friends... I hope Arnoldi's survives this. This restaurant-bar and building are icons in Santa Barbara (is it on a historical building list?). This is the 3rd traditional -local SB restaurant to close in the last month.

Ah, yes, save State Street. So many people on Edhat saying so many things about saving State St. I'd love to know from you folks, what ratio of goods do you purchase online vs. from physical stores in our community? So maybe you can stop buying goods online and take, you know, real action to help support local business. Because it's not banning cars that is causing the problems on State St. it's the fact that businesses can't survive there.

Large outdoor "public" dining area I assume.
