Santa Barbra handled this much better
They set up permit parking, in designated lots at night, some churches are involved
Limited to certain hours , after normal business hours until before the start of business in the morning
You have a SB address you apply for the permit
You park your vehicle in the lot off street at night, nothing outside, no staying during the day , you leave, goto the beach ..what ever
Come back at night
They are safe at night, the police know it's okay, no Home steading a spot on the street,
No mess allowed or you loose your permit aka permission to park
And they still have lots of area that is. No RV parking period, even for tourist
About 100 Sq blocks of old town, ..down town are off limits for any RV
