"It is growing quickly around here. Hope the city knows how to handle the growth. Mostly people from Santa Barbara and some from LA county. Too many fast food places and not enough good restaurants."

"A population of 24,000 people that can to grow over 28,000 separated from any other city by 30 miles or more. Pristine, like California 40 years ago. Agricultural with Hollywood directors and producers enjoying the peace. Vineyards and wine tasting rooms everywhere but not as crowded or expensive as Napa. Santa Barbara nearby but no traffic or hustle at home. It is paradise. Perfect weather year round, a spring and a summer, that is all. "
