Sacjon, I read through the thread and deleted comments yet you and GT are the only one bringing political parties / partisan politics into it, yet again.
The Coastal Ranches Conservancy is a front for the Hollister Ranch. While I echo their concern for the steelhead in Gaviota Creek, it is not the only local creek with steelhead barriers. There are several rear round creeks on the Hollister Ranch which would be perfect breeding habitat for the steelhead except that they are dammed and the water diverted to supply water to the many mansions that adorn the surrounding hillsides. Pot.....kettle?
It’s works better in Europe because the distances are much smaller. Beyond 500 miles or so airplanes become a more efficient means of moving people from city to city. We also already have the infrastructure in place and it’s more flexible as future travel patterns change.
One bureaucracy ignoring what another bureaucracy tells them to do. Typical behavior since those ignoring the mandate believe that no one can or will follow up to insure they comply.
Please, nobody use a public safety post and homicide story for virtue signaling.
Politics aside. It should go unsaid that this isn’t a political chat but some people really have to justify the stick up their ass.
I used to live in Silicon Valley and frequently rode Caltrain, but unfortunately, Caltrain has to go begging for funds. I voted against Proposition 1A in 2008, not because I opposed high-speed rail, but because it was a boondoggle and the money would be better spent on existing transit, like Caltrain. High-speed rail costs $200 million per mile, rising and continuing to rise. Unfortunately, my concerns about high-speed rail have proven correct. If a fraction of the high-speed money had been spent on Caltrain, it would now be electrified entirely, along with upgraded & modern cars, and been greatly expanded.
GT, I don't have kids and I'd love to know what the district and other interested parties are saying about AC in the schools!
Please do tell.
I cannot imagine anyone would 'fess up ;-)
Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for posting here!
GT, I assume this is the source citation?

Thanks for sharing it, and please do include the cite next time.
I agree with praise for Mr. Andrew Velikanje, but the focus of this article IS Mr. Rabin's aerial work:
"In 2020, HTO Field Advisor Harry Rabin, known for his high-tech work through his company, On the Wave Productions began to survey homeless camps from Summerland to Goleta, using drones with high-power lenses and infrared capability."
I spent a good half hour or more reading his website yesterday. I never knew the extent of his work. We are so lucky to have him in, and working for, our community!

Since it doesn't rain anymore why do we need storm drains?
Rabies cases have declined and almost disappeared due to the work of our country's public health agencies.
There's a reason it's required for all pets.
As most murders are, so that can be assumed. I haven't seen any info to lead to this conclusion (beyond what is typical). Do share the source(s) so that the public audience can share.
And let the pros do their job.
