To think ...the Landlord rented to him!
If the marker was made of copper someone probably hauled it off to the recycling center.
Wow. The big 7 are holding steady in first place with a fierce back and forth battle being fought hard for 2nd & 3rd! Camster making a great comeback this week! Macpuzl and geckogirl23 still playing strong.
Gosh I love this game.
It's hard to tell who is actually serious here, but I am and I think it's a shame when our town loses the things that make it interesting. I do know it didn't simply fall down, It's not "under the Boulder", and the rock did not crack and have large chunks break off on it's own, or move in the last rain event.
I found one more mesa beach once. Luckly it was nearly dead. My experience with them (lots) is the browns are not nearly as vicious or aggressive as the smaller black ones.
That still going from discusting to horrid, neither very appealing .
Those places began a way, and continued to what they are.
A more realistic question would be: how does lower State compare now, than it did even 20 years ago?
At least there's not really any increase in violence, just an increase in unpleasant surroundings, and of course an increase in commercial vacancies.
I love this area. I loved it a lot more when it was still a town. I'll love it til the day I'm priced out of it, and will be glad for my time here. Looked up Grover Beach recently, thinking it might be like sb in the 90s, but nope, its the same sitch there as here.
I am harressed, every day at every gas station, supermarket, been here 15 years...
Pay a huge amount for a home to rent.
Pick grocery stores more expensive so I don't get bothered...sad..
Goleta, is so bad now...Trader Joe's, o.k.,
Gelsons, Whole Foods, fine..
They are at every entance, exit..
Now with small cute dogs...feel terrible
for the dogs...
Wherever debris flows deposit mud and sticks, they may also deposit rattlesnakes, so snakes may end up in urban areas or beaches seemingly far from the wildland interface.
Or years ago....it says image from 2012.
@ Mas- the Los Angeles Almanac said they estimated 2.8 million in 2012 ... That is a long time ago... Have you been to LA...?
If someone thinks Santa Barbara is starting to look like San Francisco I suggest the next time you are in the bay area walk through the tenderloin or skid row in LA. There is no comparison.
@Coastwatch Where do you get your numbers from? I was referencing the Pew reseach . You must be jusr making it up as you go. How Trumpiuan of you!
@Mas- There are at least 2 million+ in LA County, San Bernardino, County, Orange County and San Diego County alone...
Santa Barbara is starting to look like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Let the homeless take over the streets and parks,
Dogs need to be trained to avoid snakes, they are naturally curious! Surprised the article doesn't mention dogs. There are snake aversion trainings for dogs, really a good idea if you take your dog hiking or live in the foothills.
@coastwatch There are not 8 million "illegals" in California it is more like 2.2 million. When you exaggerate, it makes your argument weaker.

Stop giving to panhandlers! You are not helping. You make it worse.
More __visible__ police patrols. Safety volunteers, more walking in areas where there are campers, and volunteers report them. County Health, get involved. It simply takes a will to make safety a priority. Being passive, for all of us, has not worked. GET INVOLVED yourself, and call police when you see something that is lawless.
Maybe the "homeless" should take classes on how to survive by the 8 million+ illegals that are in the State...
