I cant believe what I am hearing. Who are you people who think that the high rent in Santa Barbara is what is causing all of these problems? You are talking about the fact that people are living 10 to a house like there are 10 individuals getting together because they cant survive any other way. Do you not realize that these 10 person house holds are low income families that are having 8 kids when they dont have the means to support themselves?
I am a student in SB living with a single roommate and working a single job while I am in school. It really is not that difficult to live in this town as long as you have some concept of reality and a vague understanding of correlation between that amount of kids you have and the amount of income needed to live with an acceptable quality of life.
I was born in this town and I feel very fortunate to have grown up here. There is a reason we pay the price we do to live in this amazing place. If you cant afford to live here then move to Oxnard or Bakersfield. This is Santa Barbara people.. It has never been cheap to live here and there is no way that lowering the rent prices would do anything but make it easier for these high volume families to move in and create more under educated hoodlums to terrorize this beautiful city.
Unfortunately I couldnt say what the first step would be to fixing these problems short of a procreation license that includes an IQ test.
