I’d love to ask about recommendations for restrooms on the 101 Northbound from Goleta to Buellton on behalf of a family member with a medical condition. Given the ongoing Gaviota Rest Area closure, I don’t know about any other options.
However, I think there are some beaches along the way which may offer restrooms- do they require paid visitor parking? Are they easy to access? Do they have port-a-potties ? Thanks!
You can, with no problem, defecate in the middle of Union Square in S.F. , but don’t dare isolate yourself in an unseen bush on a side exit of 101 to urinate : you’ll get in deep trouble with the political correctness …
FOND – woke has nothing to do with it, but keep on trying to insult me because I dare to actually care about other human beings.
Here it is in simple simon terms: If something is ILLEGAL (as your sidekick confirmed), it can’t be done with “no problem.” How you and your little pal keep arguing about this is absurd. If a cop saw a person (homeless or not) take a crap in the middle of the street, they would do something. Sure, they might not issue a ticket to a crazy homeless person cause how would they pay, but they won’t just stand by and allow it. THEREFORE, you can’t do it “with no problem.” DERP.
Going over 65 MPH on the freeway is also illegal, but we can all certainly do it “with no problem”. Not stopping completely before making a right turn on a red light, illegal but “no problem”. Smoking cigarettes downtown SB, illegal but “no problem”. Littering, illegal but “no problem”. Shall I continue?
You don’t say Lina…. @Sacjon
Sacjon: letting people defecate on public streets is anything BUT “caring about them”
VOR : To the sad list you can add: “breaking into a car”! Police don’t even take the complaint anymore: there are way too many per day! So, where’s “the problem” SAC ?
LINA
“They aren’t going to ticket somebody for having an emergency situation like that UNLESS the person is deliberately flashing everyone right out in the open maybe and a cop happens to be driving by, or if someone happens to report seeing them acting vulgar, just like in SF.” – Thanks for acknowledging this and confirming my point. It’s hilarious that VOICE thinks this was a “gotcha” moment. ESL classes are a great help bud.
“Unless” is a great word to be able to understand, voice.
You’re welcome! I was tired of hearing his nonsense. It’s sickening how people like that just make up things to whine about, and worse, make it political. Fortunately most of us see right through their ridiculousness.
Funny how the folks who seem to think society is collapsing are all cons. Perhaps they should base their beliefs more on facts and less on con social media claptrap.
“If something is ILLEGAL, it can’t be done with “no problem”… If a cop saw a person (homeless or not) take a crap in the middle of the street, they would do something. ” sac this was you earlier today, now you’re agreeing with Lina, who is confirming the opposite of your earlier position.
Maybe getting an inkling that a lot of what they believe is false is what makes people start to act crazy and think society is collapsing.
4:28 – precisely.
FOND – that’s absolutely not true.
SAC : That is “absolutely true”: go to S.F., walk around and count how many people you’ll see defecating and urinating in the middle of the street/place/sidewalk.
But of course for wokes: all is fine!
A glorious society!
FOND – show us the law that allows public defecation in SF and we’ll talk. Until then, it’s just more of the “homeless people can do whatever they want” tripe.
It’s technically illegal, and carries a $50-$500 fine, it’s just not enforced. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=b6fab720912642b6aedafdb02a76d2a4
Funny how all the people who howl about the homeless causing creek pollution are the ones commenting here who want to emulate them.
What a shame that people cannot simply pull over and relieve themselves roadside as we did 50 yrs ago. Yes, people knew what you were doing, and understood natures’ call. Now one risks registry as a sex offender! In Uruguay it is still as it was 50 yrs ago and is quite literally a relief!
SB and Goleta let homeless poop and pee wherever they want and do nothing. Lots of defenders here on Edhat too for that policy. So I’d suggest bringing a can, bucket or whatever, and then just bomb it out, or pour it. Just make sure if you pour it you’re not at freeway speed.
BASIC – join VOICE and FOND in their social experiment. Go lay cable on State street in the middle of public view and police officers and tell us what happens.
We aren’t homeless, as Basic specifically mentioned.
BASIC – “Lots of defenders here on Edhat too for that policy. ” – Name one person here who supports your imaginary policy of allowing homeless people to crap and piss in public. Name one.
VOICE – I never said they had to be deliberately flashing someone. You missed half the sentence – “or if someone happens to report seeing them acting vulgar, just like in SF.”
Once again, you cherry pick my words and take them out of context. Thing is, I can’t be upset with you about it, as you’ve clearly demonstrated here time and time and time and time again, that you don’t know any better. Your “reasoning” skills are sophomoric, if existent at all, and I feel bad for taking you to task so often. Buck up kiddo, you’ll get better someday.
Truly obnoxious and unrelenting on all sides. Ed, pleeeease consider a daily comment limit. These repetitive arguments from the same 3-4 users, complete with name calling and belittling, gum up Every. Single. Thread. It’s folks like this that caused Noozhawk etc to get rid of comments. I hope Edhat never does the same but ugh. I would understand it at this point.
Huh, a daily comment limit — that’s a pretty good idea! I figure they’ll eventually tire themselves out. Or take a hint from all the downvotes and deleted arguments.
LINA – dead one, 100%. Fond and many others tend post inflammatory, offensive, and/or verifiably false, etc posts, which then prompt others (like myself) to dispute/disagree/call out. This in turn brings VOICE (and now Basic) out of the woodwork to answer for others and then we start the back and forth, arguing purely for the sake of arguing. This cycle is repeated over and over again. I admit, I should avoid Voice’s baiting, but it’s not who I am to let it go sometimes. The original racist/homophonic/inhumane/cruel/unsolicited political/ verifiably false comments that generally start this cycle are the true cause. Unfortunately, we can’t (nor should we) expect the Edhat staff to be monitoring each and every comment the second it is posted. So, what to do other than delete the original offensive comment and all those that respond to it, especially mine and Voice’s once we start our ridiculous dance? That’s already the policy and works well, except yes….. sometimes others will see the back and forths before they’re removed. To those, I say sorry, but you can always just ignore them. Not sure what else to do that would be fair to all.
Rinconer: They have been closed most of that time.
And when, or if, they ever reopen you can bet that within 3 months they’ll close again for indefinite periods of time!
It’s CA administration at its very best!
