Good work, good news.
The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
It's beyond imagination, KIRK. Chalf truly is a rare kind of something. To hear him bitch and moan for months here and then have the gall to claim credit for SB being the same It's always been is just... wow.

wait...you're not actually taking credit here are you? I mean how else are we to interpret this: "All I know is, things are improving because people like myself see it for what it was becoming, and are making the right course corrections, instead of enjoying the status quo." I cannot even begin to comprehend the stew of arrogance with which you baste yourself.

I bet there were a number of nice halibut sitting out there taking advantage as well.

LOL! Really? So tell, EXACTLY, how your incessant crying about OUR town made it so your visit was pleasant? Did Rowse and McFadden shoo away the pesky mentally ill homeless people? Did they implement a new SBPD policy to put cops on the street? Did they change the outside dining areas? Did they call the locals and tourists to come out and fill up the street for you? Did they cook your food for you? No. Of course they didn't. What you experienced was ACTUALLY how great downtown SB can be, all by itself, even without your letters to our mayor. Like so many others, you read ONLY what you see people complaining about online and then make up these wild fantasies about a town you don't even live in. Then, you came and saw for yourself how nice it really is. Attempting to take credit for this is absolutely BAFFLING, yet not surprising, coming from you.... And dude, "shrimp and chips" at the Fishhouse? You got a kid's order of fried food at one of our best seafood restaurants and then suggest your a food "snob" of some sort? LOL you're unbelievable.

Nonsense. Everything was geared toward a positive outcome when it comes to your Great Street. perhaps the deterioration was to your liking? Sometimes I think some of you do not appreciate what you have, and do not have the wherewithal to do anything about it. All I know is, things are improving because people like myself see it for what it was becoming, and are making the right course corrections, instead of enjoying the status quo.

Been not only complaining here. I have written e-mails to Mayor Rowse and the Mayor has written back stating I was 'preaching to the Choir' as many agree with my assessments. I have also corresponded with Bill McFadden who loves this town and was worried also about the increase in crime downtown. A Reporter, from Noozhawk attended some of the public council meetings , where she voiced all the concerns I had relayed to her when it came to things devolving downtown. She e-mailed me her actions and I thanked her. A noisy wheel gets all the grease. . Perhaps my constant input, had a small positive effect, as has some of the others who voice their heartfelt concerns on Edhat, Some of the commentors here reflexively take the side of the criminals, causing problems so they can pat themselves on the back self aggrandizing with moral superiority on Edhat. . Usually ultra liberal socialist are the ones content to wallow in what they created. Sac, did YOU spend any money on State Street lately? Have you given to the homeless there lately. We have! Less anger and negativity from you, and more positive actions would go a long way on State Street. Its Sad...Sac...

Exactly. But a lot of liberals say otherwise, especially lately. The commenter was so absolute in his comment - I would wager that the conservatives you speak of in this city don't consider him one of them. (And Biden is certainly liberal - I did not say otherwise; I was sarcastically asking if he was liberal enough for RHS.)

Yes it will. If you can get a friend / family member to drive you - do it!

"A large part of the problem is that no one knows what’s going on" Speak for yourself. "Just make a decision, one way or the other." Flip a coin! Or: grow up.

"I would say it’s more a matter of older vs. younger than conservative vs. liberal. " And it goes downhill from there. You make a lot of claims that are simply unsupported opinions. Why, other than tendencies to be conservative or liberal, would it be a matter of older vs. younger? How old am I? How, from that, would you guess where I stand on the issue? Your statement is irrational nonsense. "Randy Rowse is certainly no conservative" He's the most conservative of the council members. He attracted the conservative vote in the mayoral election, failing to win a majority but he beat out the 3 liberal candidates because they split the vote. "yet he supports opening the street" Because of his little-c conservative views. "as do most commenters on sites like NextDoor and even this one" Oh, have you taken a poll? "As we should all remember, though, comments on social media are not representative of residents as a whole" You say this *immediately after* using those comments as a basis for your argument! "In fact, there are not enough conservatives in SB to have any kind of political voice." How did Dale Francisco and Frank Hotchkiss get onto the city council? "If the council cannot make a decision (or will not for fear of upsetting anyone), maybe it’s time to look for representatives who can actually make a decision." Yeah, throw the bums out. I'm sorry, but this is the political solution of the least intelligent people.
