City of Santa Barbara City Hall — Attraction in Santa Barbara

Was visiting Santa Barbara in the past year. Found confusing parking signs in residential areas. Very difficult to know if one is parking correctly. I inadvertently park on the wrong side of the street and receive a $ 48.00 ticket which I pay. The City of Santa Barbara then mistakenly places another $ 48.00 lien on my DMV Registration.

We will undoubtedly come back again for a...

A strong smell of defecation in some street such as Ortega Street, Gota Street... probably at night when drunk people just walk the side streets for their mother nature calls! I requested to change if my rooms because when opening the windows with the heat wave the emanation of urination was intolerable. This is becoming like Venise Beach but with SAFETY, ONE OF THE REASON I coming since years. Next year I will go to Montecito...
