Poodle’s Plan B for Housing Crisis: Tax the Tourists

WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT?: Those who can’t do, teach. We all heard that a trillion times. What you never heard is that those who can’t teach, go into journalism. And those who can’t do hack reporting — it’s harder than it looks on TV ― become columnists. That pretty much checks all the boxes of my own career trajectory.

The Biggest Residential Sale in Montecito History

2840 Hidden Valley Lane has been sold for $75 million, the highest amount ever for a residential property in Montecito. The seller was Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, who bought it from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi for $34 million in 2018; they had purchased it from Ted and Heather Sturgess in 2013 and then added two adjacent parcels, for a total of nearly 17 acres. Despite the boldface names, the most famous former owner was the late interior designer John Saladino, who called it Villa di Lemma (get it?) and published a book about it in 2009. The above photo is from that book (and the place surely looks quite different by now).

The Exceptional Sundowner Winds of Santa Barbara

Ninety degrees on the beach at sunset, 6:19, October 24, 2017. It’s 2:30 and 93 degrees right now as I write this. Fall’s sweet, we call it summer. Perhaps the most dramatic examples of coastal downslope wind events within the contiguous United States are those that periodically occur along a short segment of the southern California coast in the vicinity of Santa Barbara.
