Santa Barbara bans RVs w/o temporary permits

The problem they are having in Santa Barbara is when they cracked down on homeless people by the hundreds living in and around Venus Beach/LA in motorhomes many of them went north to Santa Barbara to live on the streets and in the beach parking lot, there was not a big problem before 2008 but when the economy went south many showed up in old junkie RV's to live full time and many still do today, as a visitor myself to these areas the problem has just got worse over the past few years.

The homeless/RV's have gave a bad name to us regular RVer's that show up for just a day or two to visit..
