    She's right on all of her points. I've been living there since 2006 and as the years go by, SLO county keeps getting worse. Homeless is climbing. Homes are getting too expensive. Traffic is nearly at a standstill. Rent has gone through the roof. Pollution at all levels is slowly climbing. Jobs pay at either minimum wage or at least near it (unless you have a specialty career like a lawyer, doctor, management, or thriving business). I do own a home there but lucky for me, I bought at the right time when the housing market was just starting to recover and things where still cheap. Then I found out that many people, like me, have a home there but work in a different city and commute, that's crazy, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive in SLO county.

      Homeless is absolutely an issue and needs to be addressed. The cost of homes is expected, we live in a desirable area so home prices will be high. You don’t need to be a doctor or lawyer to buy a home in SLO. My wife is a teacher and I oversee business development for a local company, we bought a SFH at SLR.
      Traffic is still nothing compared to bay or LA. Crime is still basically non existent here (high cost of living helps keep it that way IMO).
      There are good paying careers you just need to be college educated to get them. My company starts off employees at $60k per year.

    I lined in north county for 15 years. The one big thing is The government of the USA is way different from the government of California. The code inspector Harley Voss of SLO county, sneaks around owners property to find anything to site one for. I have actually been in the office and over heard him in conversation with fellow worker of him bragging of how much the fines will add up. Shortly after I packed up sold my property and moved to Kansas. Where America is still America. California has become a cesspool of crooked, scandals, that prey on one another. Anyone moving there, I wish you luck. I still have much love and respect to all that are still out there.

    remember when San Luis almost had a mall? it was a partial mall ... Gottschalks on one side Embassy suites on the other. I remember how the downtown businesses were very against a 'commercial' mall in the city. From what I recall there were plans to extend the mall to what it was originally designed for but the Dilidio property was not giving up the land and the mall never materialized. I know Embassy is still there...what else? I don't live in the county anymore, I used to. I even worked at Gottschalks in the early 90's. Does Santa Maria still have their mall?

      Ha ha .. yeah after the Recession the whole area ;SLO,SM was full of closed stores. the SM mall had like 3 stores open ( fashion maxx, sears, ice cream banana place). Around 2016 is when SLO & SM started to kinda grow.
      SLO 'mall' area is pretty much downtown(H&M) and an outside outlet mall is PISMO(near scolaris).
      SM mall reopened a new thearter, skating rink(christmas) & they have a crunch fitness and other usual mall stores.
      From what i've heard the tomato fields near Embassy are being replaced with houses(huge housing shortage)
      and behind it is a Forevor 21 ( or so there was before vid). Also the Ross in downtown just closed.
      Looks like Ross & Micheals are now where Sears & Borders used to be.
      I sort of missed that little mall with gotschalks. My memory of that mall was hearing Enyas 'Sail Away' looking up that little dome area with thriftys ice cream.
      I left in 2018 to Plano .. we have like hundreds of malls here. But I left just as Santa maria opened a new shopping center (lowes, chick filla ) behind Edwards Cinema on bettaravia.

    I've been here 15 years and actually hate the place. I should want to "fit in" "belong" to this? The hiking and climbing is good, I enjoy the nature not the proactively insulting, snotty people, ( who was even looking at you?) they're not superior to anything. What goes around, comes around.
    No street gangs, but have you tried to use a park lately?
    Yes, there is a certain element of defiance in my existence. Inspite of it, I move forward in something. Most of the community/culture doesn't. Frankly, its adversarial. Put as much pressure in the market as you can.
    First words out of their mouth, some sort of predictable, infantile, insulting little remark. You send it, it returns.
    The trash with "the children" please. What kind of dirtbags exploit children for public image management? and special entitlement? Social manipulation etc. at somebody else's expense (whom typically isn't even looking at you )? I don't want any of it rubbing off on me. Same sort of thing with many of them with the little doggies, apparently fancy themselves: new, unique, interesting and special?
    Typically, takes about a year: What kind of infantile kooks run this place? Stay away from them, just let them infect one another.
    I have a right to be here whether you like it or not.
    You Leave.
