Not an ad but a cool story about a local property featured on a national news network. Although we welcome Village Properties to advertise on edhat at any time!
Given the horrific tragedy unfolding as I type this at an elementary school in Texas where 2 children have been shot to death and 13 others are fighting for their lives in a hospital, what do our local schools plan to do about the ever present and predictable threat of gun violence at our schools?
5 years into participation into the workforce a psychology major is earning $19HR, $38,000 annually and graduated with $28,000 in debt.
Even if we eliminated the consequence of taking on $28,000 in debt, the choice made would still resonate with poverty.
This runs counter to state, local, federal governments need for tax revenues from human revenue generating units. The Federal government spends $41,667 a year per taxpayer.
LUVADUCK - I never said you insulted them. Saying "more time at the gym and less at the table" is exactly as I wrote.... veiled body shaming.
How much did Village Properties pay for this ad on Edhat?
If I had meant what I wrote as an insult, it would not have been--as you saw it--" 'veiled' body shaming". Body-shaming isn't something that comes to <my> mind. Health does. "willowy......around town", on the other hand--what's that about? and what does beer variety have to do with anything?
No way NIMBY's would agree to that! It would be very expensive though, and on the plus side, would create an excellent fire access road / fire break to help keep future fires in the mountains and not blown into town.
How much did Riskin Partners pay CBS for the national exposure?
There is no will...so there is no way! Let's just be thankful for all the projects that were completed in the 30's, 40's and 50's as it's damn near impossible for us to accomplish any new infrastructure anymore.
Great photo thanks for sharing!!!
We need to build an all-new freeway on the hillside above Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria so through traffic doesn't need to use the current "in-town" 101 freeway. Where there's a will there's a way! It's what cities on the Mediterranean have built and even Ensenada has just completed one around the hills on the north side of town.
People must still be amazed that SB stopped the 101 from becoming a freeway thru town.
And left the string of traffic lights for decades. SB needs to look to OC to see how a modern
city deals with traffic. Just need to widen the 101 to 8 or 10 lanes. Eminent domain the old
shacks and junk from last century. Think PROGRESS.
Or build a new freeway up in the foothills to bypass SB. Then drivers will have a great view of
the city and harbor lights.
Or connect Ventura to Lompoc with an off shore freeway?
DOULIE - let me put it an even simpler way: You bust the user (ie, addict high in public) then all you're going to get is the street dealer. Cut out the middle man and just go after the street dealer. He's the guy handing the drugs to the user.
I keep talking about the public, usually homeless addicts because other "users" aren't so easy to find. They're kids at school or in their dorm rooms or people doing coke at a party or something. So, you're really only getting those public users with your strategy. Again, get the dealer if you want some progress.
DOULIE - Not without the user, just without making your drug policy focus on arresting users. But to also answer your question, using investigation and intel to find the public places where these deals go down and bust the dealers. I think you can gain much more from a street dealer than a user.
Not sure why this is a source of argument. I just don't think focusing on users is the right way. Go after those with the info on the source. Another thing, people using drugs in public (generally homeless addicts) are not going to provide much info, as they won't have it. Go after those in people in the transaction who DO have the info. You want users with more info though?
I may have not been clear in my response to SBSTONER. Low level dealers won't probably have the best info or be willing to give it up, but they are FAR MORE productive than users. Not sure why this is so hard to understand or is so contentious.
Calling tourism a cancer is, well...silly. If you don't like it, move to Taft...Avenal...Visalia! Living in a stunning spot (in an relatively easily accessible spot) inevitably leads to people wanting to go there (both to live and visit).
SAC - STONER. In what manner would you suggest going after an upper level dealer SAC refers to as a "supplier," without the "user" or lower level "dealers?"
I agree. I don't know the family, but no one deserves comments like this in their time of grief. Others should write an opinion piece on their views instead of commenting.
RYPERT - yes, everyone else is wrong and in denial because they oppose your Mad Max death camp.
What drugs (specifically) are you suggesting to decriminalize ? We already have with Weed...and none of these issues are because of Mushrooms...so what drugs do you want legalized? And what "progressive" country are you referencing?
Congrat's officers....
