  1. Santa Barbara is going down fast. Sad to see double murders, women assaulted, a fire every week in 2020 caused by homeless encampments. I remember when Santa Barbarans and Californians wouldn’t put up with this crap. The elite love sheeple.

  2. For Roemer Security once in a while…Memorial day one year was 112 no breaks 12 hours I heard it.. Then I worked for WBC or We Blow Cheap..Guardsmark, J.C. Penny that did not work out to well..Wind Surf Hawaii undercover security..Biltmore 2 days. others…

  3. Totally agree, Shmonk. Would like to give you a thumbs up, but I can’t. This site is heavily weighted towards rich people giving the thumbs up and thumbs down.
    The city is going in the wrong direction because people are using real estate as investment properties and not inhabiting them. This is one of the major reasons why there are so many homeless people on the streets.
    This distortion of property values could be remedied, in part, by a tax on vacant properties, taxes on second homes and pied-a-terres.
    Homes are scarce. Places should not be sitting empty because they are treated as gambling chips.

  4. SHMONK -Not anti homeless, anti breaking and entering. Anti arson, anti littering. Many of the people we see around need serious help, mental & physical. Yet we just leave them out there to languish. I wonder how many people could be helped with adequate health care , medications and a safe place to sleep? If we saw someone get run over by a car and they lay bleeding in the street, we wouldn’t simply step over them and go about our business. We would call an ambulance and that person would get help. How are mentally unstable people living out in freezing temperatures any different? We need to write new legislation to deal with it and enforce existing laws regarding public intoxication, illegal campfires, illegal camping & littering.

  5. Hear, hear. Fetch a blunderbuss to sweep the ruffians out of the property. Good old English feudal law should do the trick. If that doesn’t work, maybe the merry old Sheriffe can put the rapscallions in debtors prison and throw tomatoes at them on the weekends.

  6. @ A-161 You pretty much have an opinion about EVERY story on Edhat… With regard to the squatters, you in fact can protect what is your home… That being said, how many homeless vagrants are living in your house? Or are you just using the internet at one of our “Homeless Shelters” and opining about everything ’cause you have nothing else to do

  7. LAKERGIRL – Facts, huh? Well here’s one for ya – no one, no time, never anywhere said climate change caused any fires. It may have contributed to the way they spread out of control, but it did not cause the fires. No one, not even Newsom, said that.

  8. Chico, your comment reminds me of Shay’s Rebellion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shays'_Rebellion), in which local militia with their private guns, were able to stop an attempt at overthrowing the government—when the federal government found itself helpless to stop the rebellion itself. The end result was the abandonment of the Articles of Confederation the drafting of The Constitution. As this event was fresh in the minds of the founders, they probably included the 2nd Amendment and set up a form of form of government (representative government, electoral college, etc. ) that limited the power of mobs, since many of them felt that a true democracy could not trusted.

  9. Loose Cannon — Don’t lose total faith in this city, although it’s hard — it’s mainly just this website that heavily leans conservative and doesn’t care about poor people. This city has problems but this website isn’t a good representation of the ppl of SB
