I didn't say that they should be located in a "bad neighborhood," just not in the same neighborhood where all the teenagers hangout.

Just like kids hangout in front of liquor stores waiting for older folks who might agree to buy beer for them, kids will wait in front of this place to get pot. Why wouldn't they? What's the difference?

I have nothing against weed legalization, but downtown Santa Barbara has enough problems with the homeless and intermittent gang activity. We simply don't need another can of worms right smack downtown.

Long live the burger.

Hell yeah. Long live Whole Foods.

I have no problem with medical weed, but that's a terrible location. If I lived in that building, I'd be freaking out too. What the hell is wrong with the City Council? Do they want every kid shopping at the Gap also trying to snag some of Chapala's best skank?

The store should be in an out of the way strip mall -- not in your face in the #1 Santa Barbara shopping district.

I wonder how many other criminal empires are run from mansions in Montecito? I bet hundreds. . . .

Seriously, how else would so many people make so much money legally?

I haven't been there yet, but honestly, it doesn't sound any different than other brew pubs around town.

If they did something special like serve authentic New York style pizza or introduced something new to SB like Balinese food, I'd be much more excited.

Not to mention in this economy, cheap cold beer is what most folks are jonesing for. . .

I don't get. He wants to build "high density" downtown housing to make SB more affordable, but these new two bedroom condos start at $1,000,000 except for a couple folks who win a lottery?

Huh?????? Easy to say when you live on twelve private acres in Montecito. . . Of course I'm jealous. . .

Until the homeless problem is solved, downtown Santa Barbara will never be close to utopia. . .

There's nothing wrong with getting ripped once in a while.

On Saddle Up and Sip It Down

Half the money should be used to bribe the homeless to leave Santa Barbara. Move them somewhere housing is dirt cheap like Santa Maria or Bakersfield.

It's makes zero economic sense to house the homeless in one of the most expensive towns in the country. Ordinary working folks have a hard enough time swinging it in this town.

On Stimulating Santa Barbara

How do they cook the burgers?

Are they any good?
