Thanks, John! We are so lucky to have you flying and snapping and sharing! I am wondering whether maybe the large amount of rain last year has produced a bumper crop of grass so that whatever flowers were also seeded and encouraged are swamped, so to speak - "dwarfed" would be better - by the grass. I am finding a lot of backyard grass in my small plot.

N461RA has been doing LIDAR surveys mapping vegetation encroachment on SCE's powerlines. N216LS has also been doing LIDAR surveys, but looking for natural gas leaks.

"it is a choice, not a right." - Yup and no one here has ever said anything different, if you actually take the time to read. The point myself and others are making is that it's in our best interest to have those essential workers working and living here. The harder it is to live here, the less of these critical employees will work here. We can't live without them. It's a simple point, but one far past some people's comprehension.

Insults aside, you are missing the simple point. They have a CHOICE to decide to work and or live in SB. It is not complicated or necessary. There are other places to live.

GOLETA - ah, a troll AND a liar. Of course you "said anything about working hard" "Saying otherwise is promoting not going to college, not working hard..." Those professions work VERY hard (unlike the lazy troll who's "at work" for 10 hours a day but still here commenting multiple times an hour - that's you) To say these ESSENTIAL workers should not be able to live AND work here providing services to YOU is just lame, in my opinion. That's really what this comes down to. I disagree with you. Now, you can keep trolling (that means insulting and bugging me on other threads without providing any real meaningful response, you know.... like an adult) or you can get back to work at the mines or whatever job you're pretending to have.

Thank you basic, it is a choice, not a right.

BASIC - of course, people make choices and no one should be given a free ride just because they want to live here. No one is saying that though. What we are saying is very different and I'm tired of explaining it to you two. Glad you got yours, but not everyone is able to work AND live here, despite their CHOICE to work hard and go to college.

I think Goleta has it right - everyone makes choices. We’ve done that, right and wrong, in life. Who hasn’t? No one should get taxpayer-facilitated into their nice home and lifestyle where they want, especially in a place where it’s very expensive to live. There are many other options and pure market economics will ultimately take over.

I don't think it's stupid The NY Times decided to do an entire series on affordable housing throughout the U.S. It's a known fact that wages have not kept up with costs, specifically housing, so the only generations benefiting from this are the older ones still paying $3,000 per year in property taxes on their Santa Barbara home.

Likely some survey work. Looking up the helicopter didn't find much of anything.

GOLETA - can you explain what "poor choices" you're talking about? The choice to become a teacher or ER nurse? Do tell what "poor choices" these people have made?
Santa Barbara Family Featured in New York Times Article on Affordable House Hunting
But it is a CHOICE. No one said take the job knowing the commute may be hell? It is simple, if you know the commute will be bad don't take the job. Choice. If there is a shortage, that job will require a higher salary to compensate for the void. Choice. Take it or not. It is called Capitalism, and that is the law of the land, like it or not. Our state is doomed by thinking we can fix peoples poor choices. SF alone stands as a perfect example of failed CA. policy.

This is great! I'm proud to have my tax dollars find their way into grants like this. We can't be a great society without helping our most vulnerable members. It should mean something to call ourselves a "civilized nation."

Some observers in LA a year ago said it might also have LIDAR for spotting natural gas leaks/seeps. https://www.reddit.com/r/Helicopters/comments/z1bukn/does_anyone_know_what_this_is_doing_it_flew_back/

Wow GOLETA, that's just.... wow. Teachers aren't "going to college, not working hard?" How about cops? How about nurses? How about legal support staff, including licensed attorneys working for the DA or Public Defender or County Counsel? How about paramedics, first responders, etc? How about EVERYONE who went to college, worked hard and still can't afford to work here and perform the NECESSARY jobs we need? F'*7kn unbelievable, yet not surprising coming from you. You need to expand your mind. It's not simple. If everyone who couldn't afford to live here moved away, SB would be in ruins. Commuting deters essential workers from accepting or continuing employment here. It also is incredibly polluting and bad for our planet's health (which I doubt you care about). It also takes parents away from quality time with their children. Why would anyone do that just to come here to support people like you who got lucky and now want them out? I wouldn't lift a finger for people like that.

It simple - you can either commute or CHOOSE not not to. There are other jobs out there. Why people CHOOSE to go this route is insane, and not for taxpayers to accommodate them. Saying otherwise is promoting not going to college, not working hard because the government will bail you out with low budget housing, etc. Sorry, SB is expensive, and anyone who wants to live here knows it.
