Are we talking about the same newspaper? Let's get real here, folks. I've been in SB since 1975 and the SBNP has never been more than a second rate paper. I used to cringe every time I walked past the building and saw the NY Times name on the wall. Wendy may have made it worse, but they were already approaching bottom.
Stop flattening this cat and let it die out.
Maybe someone will start another daily. Like the Daily Sound?

Creative Stereo-
Circus City had the worst staff I've ever seen. They were more interested in listening to the car stereos and talking amongst themselves than helping people.

If people feel so strongly about keeping it undeveloped, why not buy it from him?
Hey I know, all of the affordable housing SB needs could be built in Gaviota, solving 2 problems at once!
Then we could find out if people are really objecting to the mansions or the idea of any housing at all.

If he truly cared about the environment he'd do pay per view TV concerts or webcasts. That way his fans wouldn't pollute the air by driving to the show and he wouldn't pollute the air with 4-5 semis and 2-3 tour buses. Just my opinion.
P.S.

Please. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I'm curious as to why the word demanded was capitalized in the headline. Also, the word vagrants was in quotes.
Was this a subtle dig at the merchants for being greedy and mean to want a nice atmosphere for their customers?
How many of the Independent's readers work in State St. businesses?
I realize that the homeless are the unofficial mascots of Santa Barbara's gov't, but that doesn't mean the merchants don't have a point.
Just wondering.

You're too late. They already got rid of the rooster because the new neighbors didn't like the noise. I hate to state the obvious, but more housing=more people. If you don't build it they can't come.

Why do radio stations feel the need for morning talk shows? How about music and traffic updates? I haven't listened to KTYD in the morning for years. The show wasn't funny and it was painful listening to Julie read the news and stumble over words and have no sense of delivery. More music, less talk. Good luck in Phoenix.

Am I the only one that thought it was a bit ironic to open an article about education with a vignette about a child that can't spell? It seems like this could be used to support the argument that testing doesn't guarantee results. On the other hand, the child can't spell, and how else besides tests would he ever know he's spelling incorrectly? Or is misspelling OK, because we wouldn't want to hurt his self esteem by correcting his error?
