The state of State: What Would it Take to Rescue Santa Barbara’s State Street?
It seems even this has somehow become political. Among the folks I know and the comments on Facebook I've seen, it's pretty much along party lines - conservatives generally seem to want cars back, liberals generally don't. Again, this is just anecdotal and of my observation, so take it or leave it. But, I started wondering, why? Covid? Could it be that the conservative outrage over Covid closures is fueling it? I keep reading comments like "covid is over, open it back up." Is that why many support re-opening State to cars? Is it that nostalgia for how things were before the "liberal elite" closed down our country? Is it more a hatred of "closures" and what that stood for than a true economic-driven support for cars on State? Despite the lack of any real meaningful evidence, study, prediction, etc showing cars equals better business, so many are clamoring to "open it up." Maybe that's why? Still haven't seen a single credible argument that cars will help while there's sky high rents, online competition, city red tape, etc. Maybe there's not.

Absolutely no self awareness. According to him, one of our best and brightest, yet still absolutely no clue. Oh wait, I forgot he lied about all that stuff. Yeah, sounds about right for this one.

Dave; thank you for sharing your "art therapy" with us. It's always great with the wording aligned with the photographs. After verifying my "download" from the RC 2024 post, I was reminded of another gem I'd saved & labeled "henry artwork" (you called it "edhat_5_4") gleaning that from here: https://www.edhat.com/news/special-wednesdays-with-henry/ I guess what I'm trying to express is how much I feel, YOU are appreciated here. Never hesitate to "Go to your happy place.” !

Could it be that tourists AND locals aren’t coming downtown nearly as much as the City minions guessed?

City of Santa Barbara Sales and Hotel Tax Continue Below Budget
Sounds like whoever made the budget projections were off. I’m curious what the comparable revenue were compared to last year. Did the budget committee over project or are revenues down year over year?

Thank you, David Powdrell, for sharing your lovely photographs - I particularly liked the one of the bee in the poppy - and your loving words about your son and your family. Sometimes the most beautiful flowers are short-lived but they live in our memories and your photographs.
