C'mon, Hank, "expansion" can more than geographical growth. The idea to put on events with a thousand people once a month is an "expansion" by any reasonable definition of the word.

sbgradstudent says, "Having visited there, I can say that the neighboring properties are hardly even visible as they are substantially masked by the thick tree cover, which also dampens the noise."

As a VISITOR, how does sbgradstudent quantify "...hardly even visible..."? And, no matter the answer, how does (s)he know that is sufficient to mitigate visual impacts.

Similarly, how does (s)he know how much the noise is dampened? And how much dampening is sufficient? And how does this dampening change over the seasons?

Sigh, the critical thinking skills of grad students are not apparently what they used to be.

See, here is an example of why I won't vote for Cushman. He asserts that "...40 percent of the ballots should have been turned in already." Huh? This is the first all mail ballot that SB has had so there is NO data to base this assertion on. It is pure handwaving by Cushman. Since I don't want a handwaver for mayor, I'll find someone else.

I am always amused by phrases such as this, "first annual Ojai Half Marathon." "First" means it has not happened before so how can it be "annual"? I suspect hubris.

citti is right. Is it not blatantly obvious that a JAPANESE tea house is NOT native to SB?
