Santa Barbara

This is the kind of thing the California Coastal Comission shot down when Venice tried to put up signs for a similar ordinance. Santa Barbara outlaws overnight camping on their streets.

Fortunately, SB has something almost as good as unrestricted parking - they have free camp grounds for us "motor homeless". I'd still rather be on the street and not have to follow so many rules, but no reason you can't do both in Venice since we don't have overnight restrictions here.

Now I hear Councilman Rosendahl is trying to get the same thing for Venice. Way to go Bill!
