I grew up in santa barbara ca .... right about the time they wanted to renew their fading infrastructure.
The buildings beyond hope and economic rescue were replaced - with architecture very strictly confined to spanish colonial
McDonalds challenged the constitutionality and lost - the sb mcducks got a spanish tile roof and no arches....
we went from a sleepy town (50 thousand population when I was there going to school - to a central coast gem that is very upscale....(go Isla Vista - grin)
the new Puna kfc et all big fail if you ask me.......
zoning and ccrs the key to preservation - make it more expensive to build new - than save the old...a good road map pioneered by the city of SB
