In " Last Stand at LaCumbre ," the attorney for the Legal Aid Foundation is quoted as saying this case is "about who has a right to live in Santa Barbara." No, this case is about property rights, something state and local governments continue to erode in their futile effort to satisfy the endless demand for housing in California.
Desire is not deserve. No one is entitled to a home in Santa Barbara anymore than one is entitled to a Lamborghini just because he or she desires one.
Housing here is affordable. If it weren't, houses wouldn't be selling and rentals would remain vacant.
