Too Much, Too Tall
Thank you to Marell Brooks for that perfectly written Opinions essay! As the saying goes; you can’t stuff 10 pounds in a five-pound sack.
Any more height on buildings (over 45 feet) will just block out the sun and mountains, two of Santa Barbara’s prime assets. Leave it be! I would suggest that any new hotels, large business have to provide housing and parking for their on-duty workers.
