We’re a tourist town 12 months a year, 7 days a week, that is where most of Santa Barbara’s money comes from. .

First step in any decision making process is unfettered brainstorming. All idea on the table with no pre-censorship. Then sort out the viable suggestions and discard the non-viable ones. But let all suggestions flow in consideration at the first level. Moving people from A to B is the first layer of consideration. Then costs, benefits, risks and feasibility can be assigned later. But the goal is people movement – what are the varieties of ways people can move from point A to point B. A sky ways is one of them, just as much as a fixed rail transit system or vouchers for Uber. Thinking inside and outside of the box is rule number one at the very first layer of decision making.
