Is there an Increase in Landscaping Theft?
Whoever cut down your little palm tree couldn't then grow it somewhere else, you can't root a palm trunk! So that was not a a theft, more like vandalism. Maybe what Minibeast suggests is true, that someone thought it was blocking their view? Anyway, just destructive behavior but not theft. But the flagstones, that is so petty and nasty. Very sorry. We have had fruit stolen, also occasional garden tools that were left out and shouldn't have been, over the years. No uptick recently.
Santa Barbara City Council Pushes Back on Downtown Parking Meters and Fee Increases
Pay by plate would be perfect Notice how the article says "people would be less likely to visit downtown"? All tourists or transplants that just come to work here with registrations addressed to places other than SB, should pay, and residents should be free. Free cuz we live here and struggle to live here Also, we should be seeing Kamaʻāina discount for residents, which means we shouldn't have to pay ridiculous markups on goods and services that are traditionally way overpriced for tourists It's a thing, trust me, they do it in Hawaii when I lived there, New Orleans, North County San Diego and a couple other places I've lived There's businesses that do this Thanks, have a nice day
California Republicans want to Take Financial Aid from Protesters if they were Violent
Some people are good at denying reality. Either that, or they're really, really bad at sarcasm.

The past restitution needs to be enforced and he should be assessed full restitution with interest for his current conviction. Why this is not standard practice for these types of crimes is a mystery.

Trump discouraged the riot. But this country has man. many deep seated problems.

Good call here! State street would have less visitors with higher rates.
Streaming Networks Disney, Hulu, and ESPN Sue City of Santa Barbara Over User Tax
The city of SB will lose this fight. As everything these days is streamed across thousands of different service providers, YouTube, all the major networks (cnn, msnbc, cbs, pbs, etc) by not going after all of them and single handedly targeting Disney, they’ve selectively discriminated and targeted with prejudice a single provider. This will 100% be thrown out and they will lose based on that alone. You can’t go after taxation on an entire industry and selectively only bill/target a single entity. It’s an all or nothing. Again idiots running the city, stop messing it up for everyone else.

"absentee Police Chief"? Are you referring to EX-police chief Lori Luhnow? Are you saying our current police chief does not live in Santa Barbara? I'd sincerely like to hear about that. On Tuesday, August 30, 2022, the City Council appointed Kelly Ann Gordon as Chief of Police for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Her new role is effective September 19. https://santabarbaraca.gov/press-releases/city-council-appoints-kelly-ann-gordon-santa-barbara-police-chief Also, Mayor Rowse's name is spelled R-O-W-S-E.

My sympathies to your poor palm tree. Nastiness/vandalism seems quite possible.

I wish Maker House and the Crafter's Library could get together, would give Clay Studio a downtown footprint.
Op-Ed: After Losing Population in Recent Years, California is Starting to Grow Again. Is that a Good Thing?
Once again Sac, you’re wrong. We (you too, kid) are absolutely paying a ton of taxpayer money out here in the west to cover these folks who continually show up in our ED’s with major illnesses. Cottage ED gets it all day long. Don’t even try to talk about this. You’re out of your league spouting about healthcare policy on Edhat.

That’s pretty old school. I like it.

Really disingenuous, or maybe just ignorant and naive, to think that anyone who owns a parcel along State Street has it as a sole source of income, don't you think?
Op-Ed: After Losing Population in Recent Years, California is Starting to Grow Again. Is that a Good Thing?
RUBY - Yes, in CA, OR, WA and CO, they do get free healthcare (just like we ALL are eligible for through Medical), thank goodness. That keeps our tax payer costs down, unlike in moronic states like Texas where people seem to rather pay more money for uninsured immigrants using the ER and Urgent Care for illnesses. Lies from the GOP don't help anyone, especially not the lower class tax payers who end up footing the bill with the middle class. It's truly baffling how bad our collective critical thinking is.

Is there anybody that could be angry with you? This all seems so odd - and sorry.

Illegals don’t get free medical care? Do they just die on the street?
The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
SB city council should not be making decisions about State Street. They keep on monkeying with it, throwing money around like the Fed, without being really involved. Go away city council and let State street be a street. How many of the city council persons have ever been small business owners? Open State Street to vehicle traffic and see what organically occurs.
