As residents of the historic neighborhood bordering Santa Barbara’s Alameda Park we feel the need to shed light on a troublesome situation taking place in our city.
We are a diverse neighborhood of people from newborns to centenarians, renters, homeowners and the homeless. Among us are residents of multiple ethnicities and races. There are lawyers, teachers, health-care workers, engineers, small business owners, civil servants and, while he was alive, we could count a Nobel Prize laureate among us.
