Like all astute businessmen, Caruso has certainly read "The Art of War," which is how to win business deals and overcome your enemy. One important way to do it is to divide and conquer. Differences of opinion are fine - that makes life interesting. But look at the division this man has created in the community. Look at the vitriol, the hate! Look at neighbors slamming neighbors! Caruso did NOT have our community at heart. He is an out-of-town developer who wants what he wants when he wants it. He came in, and in the guise of schmoozing, started pitting one side of the community against the other, fueling hate, rudeness, rage - division. Please examine your own rages that you did NOT have before this man came to town. Thank you, Mr. Caruso, for blessing our community the way you have.

THIS IS A BUMMER! I did all my business in there, those guys always helped, replaced batteries, cleaned lenses, were encouraging to everyone, you bought cameras and lenses there and they would help all the way through. Sad, sad sad!

- $768,185 in reductions to the fire department...?????????
Oy vey.
Santa Barbara about burned down in the Zaca Fire? This is all very tough stuff, how to spend what and where, how to cut back intelligently,...but this cut (big!) seems a little foolhardy, if you ask me. If we burn, what good is a desk and/or job, and/or etc., if we are all in ashes.

On Septic to Sewer, Sewer to Lawsuit?

Posted on May 10 at 9:49 a.m.

It blows my mind that people in the Montecito community are basing their arguments in favor of the Caruso plan on 1) fear that he'll leave 2) the mess that is there, and 3) money. There are legal requirements for development that are being purposely overlooked by both county officials (get the money, get the money), the developer (get the money, get the money) and now, a whole lot of Montecitans will sell their birthright for a mess of pottage? Whatever side you're on, there are legal requirements for development that no one can get around.
1) The new Caruso plan cannot be permitted on an old negative declaration for an old (Schrager) project, when the two projects are not even slightly alike.
2) CEQA law requires that ALL the studies - engineering, hydrology, compliance with Montecito plan, drilling of wells, taking away public roadway, etc. - are in place, and thoroughly reviewed, and approved, before a developer can dig the first hole in the ground. You cannot make it up as you go along. Caruso is not above the law, and for Montecitans to think he is, is just...strange....
