Santa Barbara Cable Car Company.Is the Goleta Valley going to go the way of its neighbor, Santa Barbara?? I put this picture of the Santa Barbara cable car company which ran a loop from the Mission Santa Barbara, across the front of the Riviera down to state street. Can something like this happen across the foothills above Bishop Ranch. Are those same Goleta foothills going to look like the beautiful, lush landscapes of the Santa Barbara Riviera?? Is the Bishop Ranch in Goleta going to finally be developed? What kind of housing are the residents of the Goleta Valley going to get out of it? Will it be the same type of track homes as the El Encanto Heights neighborhood? Or Will it be like the dense Winchester Commons neighborhood? We know that growth is inevitable, so we must control it. I wonder what Nicholas Den would think of His beautiful Santa Barbara's Royal Rancho? "The Rancho of Twelve Canyons" as Los Dos Pueblos had been nicknamed by the Indians, contained the following creeks in west to east order: Las Llagas, El Gato, Las Veras (Doty), Dos Pueblos, Eagle, Tecolote, West Las Armas (Winchester), Las Armas (Bell), Tecolotito (Glen Annie), Carneros (Bartlett and La Patera), San Pedro, and Las Vegas. (Names in parenthesis are the modern equivalents.)
