The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
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.
Historic Arnoldi’s Cafe Closes After Co-Owner Passes Away
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.

We're still stuck with the Post Office killer installed by the orange moron.

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.

Taylor Swift music works too.

Gravy Seals / Y'all Qaedas? First Amendment protects offensive people from saying offensive things, but not if they're filming children without permission or threatening harm, etc. I wonder why they chose Chase, though?

On another thread an employe of Chase said these guys confronted her and said some really horrible things and were filming children. She said the cops never arrived after calling.

The internet says these ding dongs are trying to monetize their videos so if you play really loud copyrighted music at them, they can't use any footage. Disney songs work best, according to the internet.

BASIC - "How does State St. business and enjoyability look like now vs. back then? I know what I think." Do you think anything else (COVID, the economy, rents, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc) could had anything to do with that? No? Just the presence of cars, huh? Wow.

When I hung out a lot on State in the 90s, there were cops walking the street in pairs, lots of them. Guess what, CHALF? There was still homeless people, mentally ill people, the ever present urine stench, gangs, fights, drunks, drugs, etc. People like you conveniently keep ignoring the CAUSE of the homeless/mentally ill problem: lack of government funding. Why? Because Republicans, not liberals, HATE to spend $$ on the wellbeing of others. It's really as simple as that. So please, quit the whole blaming the cops thing. They can only do so much and you should be thankful they keep OUR town as safe as they do for tourists like you.

Hey BASIC - asking for evidence of the other side isn't answering the question. You know, whatabout whatabout whatabout and such.... So tell us, Doc, how do you think cars being allowed to drive up and down State St. will increase sales in the local stores? No, you don't get to ask for evidence that it won't, that's not how logical, mature and reasonable discussions work. That's for 3rd grade playgrounds. So, what you got, Doc?

"she was not doing her job" - gads, CHALF. Maybe you should write to her, like a man, and stop crying here about liberals. You offer no viable solution, merely complaints and demands for things no humane government will do. If we're too liberal for you here, don't let the door hit ya.......
