Thank you for the thoughtful article “ Housing and Traffic Snarls Goleta and County of Santa Barbara .”
Moving forward, it is essential that the Santa Barbara County supervisors protect us from becoming the horrendous monstrosity that is the Southern California Urban Sprawl Nightmare — a blight on the landscape and the possible devastation of our idyllic coastal community.
It is essential that affordable workforce housing is our priority. “Market rate housing” is code for massive second homes for the wealthy, retirees seeking a refuge, and gigantic profits for developers who have zero vested interest in our community.
