We need some good whore houses and gambling joints in our neighborhoods too. Bring back opium dens ! Pots too light weight for medical use. Or better yet, rebuild China Town, it would be good for the tourist biz. Lets all sell drugs, it's unfair that just a few can make big bucks from it. Better yet, the city should get in the biz to fund projects and schools.

"One man's food is another man's poison" Doctors, they believe anything they read or write. How about another source? Good try.

How about regulating Starbuck's and all the other junk food pushers in town. Make a real attempt at helping prevent lifestyle related illnesses that are bankrupting the nation and our children's health. You can now make disability claims for obesity. Smoke pot, cram your face with crap and get paid for it by the Government. I love this country!

Wendy's probably docking Nipper's allowance to pay the overtime and vacation claims.

Large mixed use buildings work in cities that have jobs where the pay scale is inline with the cost of real estate. Santa Barbara is not one of these. This type development will only provide more $10.00hr service jobs and a hoard of people commuting from the north and south to clean condos,water potted plants and mow and blow rooftops. Welcome the coming of second home owner haunted houses or worse, converted time shares. Eat,drink, flush, pose and go home.

What a great way to go, getting shacked, then eaten. Beats having to deal with the "Great White Sharks" that mold our minds, run our country and our board rooms. I think I'll hang with Ed and his friends, much safer. He's done nothing to my family for 6 generations of sharing his ocean. Maybe he fancies imported meats.

It is becoming apparent that the insurers, doctors, drug companies and hospital business models are to milk all the wealth from the middle class baby boomers and the increasingly plump incoming generations.
The only real health insurance left is developing wellness programs that address our own self indulgence. At work, home, schools, churches, everywhere.
There is no "health sliver bullet" it's not in a pill, it's not in a supplement, or some exercise gizmo, diet, workout or some airy fairy mumbo jumbo cult practice. It's food, movement and attitude. Making small changes to your unhealthy habits over the longterm. Choice is free!
We are in this alone, it's that simple. No one is coming to save us, not politicians,science, doctors, drugs, space aliens or even god. If we become a healthy society, insurance rates will drop or the model will change. As it stands now our lifestyle is very profitable for everyone in health care and it's big business. Heck, just look at their stock sector.
Your point on joining the uninsured is interesting, maybe if everyone stopped paying insurance premiums for 1 year, something might happen.
The bottom line, we eat too much, sit on our asses, bitch and point fingers. An old 60's anti establishment cry sums it up best, "todays pigs are tomorrows bacon"
oink, oink

My family started farming here in 1830, we have 3 generations of family buying produce from Fairview now. It's too bad that people who have no roots in the county have no respect for our history or the people who try to preserve it. Will the cock a doodle doo of the rooster be replaced by lawn mowers, leaf blowers, midnight car alarms and more urban pollution?
