bsky.app/profile/mblu... does not allow me to comment on his posts, so I will say that when Beta does not agree with Democratic process and law, he wants to use violence? My guess is that he was never picked for a team at school, and for good reason.

We have been fighting this at the grass-roots level for years, where it has to be resisted to nip it in the bud. Santa Barbara is a training ground for such horrible socialist take over policies.

In 1962 this documentary showed that what Santa Barbara is constructing is a "Design for Disaster', so why are they still doing it?

This was fun when street parking was free, but once they built inconvenient, expensive parking garages- everything started dropping. Now in Santa Barbara, CA and many other cities, these administrative planner geniuses think that people will just walk over? www.sfgate.com/la/article/s...

It is embarassing to my profession how arrogant and wasteful the State Street Advisory Committee is with tax dollars and ruining downtown Santa Barbara, CA. Just go to 3rd St Promenade in Santa Monica and see what is coming. www.noozhawk.com/new-sketches...

How does it improve traffic flow when WB to NB turn has to merge despite there being plenty of asphalt ahead. 1 bike or ambulance and the "flow" will jam, or people will just drive over the stripes. And watch out for that stupid median built after we built the bridge. www.edhat.com/news/new-tra...
