The area around Santa Barbara is as pretty as they come. We are wrapping up a vacation here and I amazed at how beautiful it is.
Quizzically, it is not without out its drawbacks.
It has become so expensive to live here. I have no idea where the teachers, bakers and barristers live. Those who live here need to put off retirement just to keep the properties where they live.
And big oil lurks just off the coast. a simple three mile run on the beach is a slow accumulation of oil stains on the feet.
It was still an amazing vacation.
Oh Capitalism
