Wow, I would think the beautiful, idyllic city of Santa Barbara, the home of Earth Day, would be all about getting rid of plastic bags!
Shame on your for promoting yourself as the home of Earth Day and celebrating it every year, but not living up to your environmentally conscious image. Get with it, SB, and put your money where your mouth is.

I have an idea...
How about we stop paying movie stars and athletes zillions of dollars to entertain us and instead pour that money into the schools and teachers salaries and make educators role models? Oh no, it just makes too much sense to make normal, every day people good role models instead of focusing on the unrealistic, materialistic lifestyles of the rich and infamous actors and entertainers. Our culture is so messed up.

This really isn't about having nothing to do. I have lost count of the number of times I've nearly been hit walking through a cross walk, even after I checked, double checked and triple checked before entering the pedestrian cross walk. Yet, I was still hit while in a cross walk and to this day have permanent, irreversible damage in my arm, and ended up losing my job as a result. Oh, and no nice settlement to compensate for the damages. But the important part is that I have my life, and it has made me very cautious about watching out for pedestrians.
Please, slow down Santa Barbara!!

So, so sad to read this. What a sad, sick joke. I remember when Bacara promised to keep public access for locals. But, as is the sad case, money talks. Where is the City of Goleta (or, should it be Santa Barbara since Bacara likes to say it's in Santa Barbara, not Goleta)?
It may not be as splendiferous where I live now compared to Santa Barbara, but at least Oregon takes seriously the term "The People's Coast"--where coastal access is a right for all residents, not just those with the bucks!

As I see it, Cottage has two choices: end the use of the super-expensive helipad and return to landing the copters remotely, or continue to use the helipad and hear the complaints of the neighbors. I highly doubt with the amount of money Cottage invested in the helipad that they are going to cease using it.
At the risk of sounding completely callous, I think residents living near Cottage need to get over it. They live near a hospital and this is what happens when you have a hospital that is charged with saving lives! What if it was YOUR love one in that copter? Would you be kvetching then? I hardly think so. I agree with Eckerman; there is no way to make these people happy. I don't live near the hospital (but I'm only a mile away), so yeah, it's easy for me to say. But, I work in the medical profession and I hate to think that people are so superficial that a few copters a week or day is so disruptive that they cannot think with compassion about the purpose of the copter.
As I see it, the neighbors of Cottage Hospital have two choices: put up or move out. Yeah, moving out is not so easy in a city as expensive as Santa Barbara. But hey, at least you get to live in a great city with a hospital that has a helipad! God/dog/whomever forbid the complainers ever need to use the helipad. And if/when they do, I wonder just how much they'll be complaining about it.
