Why are Local Doctors Charging Monthly Fees?
The price of homes in Ventura are close to SB then add in commenting expenses and you have a losing. Situation.
Is there an Increase in Landscaping Theft?
Looking at the size of the trunk and the OP stating it was small and recently planted, I cannot fathom someone cutting it down due to "visibility." If it was a rare varietal it could have a decent price tag on it.
Is there an Increase in Landscaping Theft?
I've had friends around town who recently added landscaping to have some rather expensive plants ripped up or cut down. Likely people were scoping out the work ahead of time and went at night to cut it down and resell or reuse for their own clients. Pretty awful. My tip has been to plant things that are less desirable and abundant.

Empty buildings are NOT a tax write off. All commercial buildings are depreciated on tax returns. Commercial buildings are valued by their net rents. Renting properties at low rents decreases their value, so leaving them empty until conditions improve in many cases is a financial advantage.

Thanks for the "tick pic", surprised you only were able to find just one :)
California Republicans want to Take Financial Aid from Protesters if they were Violent
ruby - Speaking of "deep seated problems." We can start at the top with the president. For a person in his position I can't think of anyone with more deep seated problems. The debate(s), if Brandon attends, will be quite a show.

Whoever cut down your little palm tree couldn't then grow it somewhere else, you can't root a palm trunk! So that was not a a theft, more like vandalism. Maybe what Minibeast suggests is true, that someone thought it was blocking their view? Anyway, just destructive behavior but not theft. But the flagstones, that is so petty and nasty. Very sorry. We have had fruit stolen, also occasional garden tools that were left out and shouldn't have been, over the years. No uptick recently.
Santa Barbara City Council Pushes Back on Downtown Parking Meters and Fee Increases
Pay by plate would be perfect Notice how the article says "people would be less likely to visit downtown"? All tourists or transplants that just come to work here with registrations addressed to places other than SB, should pay, and residents should be free. Free cuz we live here and struggle to live here Also, we should be seeing Kamaʻāina discount for residents, which means we shouldn't have to pay ridiculous markups on goods and services that are traditionally way overpriced for tourists It's a thing, trust me, they do it in Hawaii when I lived there, New Orleans, North County San Diego and a couple other places I've lived There's businesses that do this Thanks, have a nice day

Some people are good at denying reality. Either that, or they're really, really bad at sarcasm.
Former Insurance Agent who Scammed Elderly Faces 24 Years in Prison
The past restitution needs to be enforced and he should be assessed full restitution with interest for his current conviction. Why this is not standard practice for these types of crimes is a mystery.

Trump discouraged the riot. But this country has man. many deep seated problems.

Good call here! State street would have less visitors with higher rates.
Streaming Networks Disney, Hulu, and ESPN Sue City of Santa Barbara Over User Tax
The city of SB will lose this fight. As everything these days is streamed across thousands of different service providers, YouTube, all the major networks (cnn, msnbc, cbs, pbs, etc) by not going after all of them and single handedly targeting Disney, they’ve selectively discriminated and targeted with prejudice a single provider. This will 100% be thrown out and they will lose based on that alone. You can’t go after taxation on an entire industry and selectively only bill/target a single entity. It’s an all or nothing. Again idiots running the city, stop messing it up for everyone else.

"absentee Police Chief"? Are you referring to EX-police chief Lori Luhnow? Are you saying our current police chief does not live in Santa Barbara? I'd sincerely like to hear about that. On Tuesday, August 30, 2022, the City Council appointed Kelly Ann Gordon as Chief of Police for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Her new role is effective September 19. https://santabarbaraca.gov/press-releases/city-council-appoints-kelly-ann-gordon-santa-barbara-police-chief Also, Mayor Rowse's name is spelled R-O-W-S-E.

My sympathies to your poor palm tree. Nastiness/vandalism seems quite possible.

I wish Maker House and the Crafter's Library could get together, would give Clay Studio a downtown footprint.
Op-Ed: After Losing Population in Recent Years, California is Starting to Grow Again. Is that a Good Thing?
Once again Sac, you’re wrong. We (you too, kid) are absolutely paying a ton of taxpayer money out here in the west to cover these folks who continually show up in our ED’s with major illnesses. Cottage ED gets it all day long. Don’t even try to talk about this. You’re out of your league spouting about healthcare policy on Edhat.

That’s pretty old school. I like it.

Really disingenuous, or maybe just ignorant and naive, to think that anyone who owns a parcel along State Street has it as a sole source of income, don't you think?
