Santa Barbara Family Featured in New York Times Article on Affordable House Hunting
Housing affordablety for regular working folks has always been incredibly difficult in our area but now if you don't have some sort of help or win the lotto it's near impossible. Really happy they found their place, RGL is awesome!!

Don’t let these hate mongers make you fearful that our FREE Democratic country is teetering on the brink of fascism. They are cowards running and hiding. There are far more brave honorable ordinary citizens who value what our country was founded on …. and would be willing to fight to keep it that way ! 🇺🇸
Man Dies After Falling from Isla Vista Cliff
Empty suit should condem the buildings along the cliffs because some people choose to not adhere to rules and guidelines and go against common sense and fall of cliffs? Are you also for fencing off all unsafe areas like the Alps, Arches NP and the Grand Canyon?! Use your brains to stay safe and don't run around unsafe areas when on drugs etc. We can't protect every person from doing the wrong thing. These are young grown adults that made bad decisions. Very sad but they should know not to do this. Some intentionally do. People go jump into acidic pools in Yellowstone and die after having given pamphlets, signs everywhere and other people warning them. Look at all the idiots petting buffalo and putting their kids next to them for a photo op. Bad decisions have no age range.

Couldn’t agree more Henry. Build all the fences you want, condemn a bunch of homes, there’s still a big cliff there right next to hundreds/thousands of drunk, immature party kids who aren’t using their heads at all.

Rubaiyat, 1 was definitely a suicide, it was a person I personally knew. All the others, party culture. Urination off the ciffs, also off the table. Due to biology & anatomy, males can pee ANYWHERE due to design. If they have to go, they're NOT climbing over a fence to do it. Females have more restrictive parameters & are therefore more likely to have to go over a fence to pee for the sake of seclusion, BUT... the majority (90%+) of cliff fall incidents are males. Interestingly, you have zero fencing west of Sea Lookout Park through Deveroux, as well as Lagoon Island & Campus Point, yet the number of incidents if 2, maybe 3 falls in a 30 year period. The most recent fall at Campus point was the guy who was possibly pushed off a cliff in an altercation back in November, 2020. He died. As for Deveroux, the most recent incident involved a drunk driver that drove off the cliffs as police were chasing him. He survived. Like I mentioned to Sacjon, the issue isn't the fencing, it's the culture & attitude. People trying to sneak into parties is a classic thing. The incident at 6761 Del Playa just a few weeks ago, a female trying to "bypass" the party entrance, she fell, luckily got trapped 15' below the deck. But then 3 guys trying to rescue her, they went to the bottom of the cliff, the tide came up & now SBFD had to do a cliff extraction as well as a water rescue. It's attitude.

Funny how all these uneducated morons hide their faces and run when confronted by authorities.

Sacjon, thank you. All I can say, as a 36 year resident of IV is that it's an attitude issue, not a mechanical/structural/architectural issue. The "party culture" in IV has definitely changed, they're hellbent on making the wrong choices when it comes to common sense & safety. An stark example is the recent display of idiocy known as "deltopia" & while nobody fell off the cliffs then, the potential was high. At 6743 Del Playa at 1 of the illegal pay to play parties (now illegal due to social host & festival ordinance changes) there was a 6' tall fence blocking the guests from the cliff. The promoters that threw the event, they built a platform which served as a "selfie stage" that went up higher than the fence that was put in place to protect them & located right by the fence. That was 1 of the parties that got shut down. So, how do we stop this? Well, port-o-potties didn't/don't help, education doesn't help, fencing doesn't help, signage doesn't help. I believe the biggest issue we have is the "party school" image, it draws many of the profile to the area. I have to add, UCSB is the ONLY UC campus w/ the issues we see in terms of the "party culture" & all that comes w/ it. It's also the campus w/ the most blood on its hands due to fatalities. The UC's LRDP (long range development plan) isn't helping either, in fact, it's what has created the housing crisis in the IV/Goleta area. But also, SBCC adds to the issue. From the study I did on cliff falls, a large portion of cliff fall incidents involved SBCC students, the 1 last year during Labor Day, he was SBCC. If I were a parent & my kid wanted to go to a community college as a out of state enrollee & live in a community that is effectively 12-14 miles from the campus & is known for partying w/ a high death rate, that would raise a HUGE red flag. Here's where another aspect of the problem lies, the parenting. These parents are all about giving their kid the "college expreience" to the point of shelling our $2k/month rents where the kid has to share a room w/ 2-3 other people in slum-like conditions. Have you been to Del Playa Dr. lately? It's what we tend to call "slum by the sea" & for many good reasons. It's a combination of issues, but NONE of those really have to do w/ the fencing & signage, of which there is plenty of & from my study, it SHOULD get the job done. Truthfully, the fencing, up to the mid/late-2000's was subpar, it was deficient in integrity & yes, was dangerous. But as the incidents increased, property owners stepped up & put up better fencing. But for some reason, the cliff fall rates increased. It's NOT the fencing, it's NOT the lack of restrooms, it's NOT the parks, it's the "yolo" (you only live once) attitude. The problem is the failure to see the fact & that is you live every day, you only die once.

They're lucky no one did more than smash a windshield. Groups like this need to be pushed back into the shadows.

Losing a child is an unspeakable horror that reverberates for years. May the future be gentle to the Parker family.

If properties are condemned they 100% should be razed to the ground. Why allow a structure to just dilapidate year after year dumping material onto the beach? You can manage the cliff edge by cutting it back and planting native shrubs and ground cover along with reasonable fencing and security cameras, among other things.
