I lived in Montecito for 7 years. Everything is sooo over priced, Contractors rip you off, one contractor tried to charge me $800 to clean the Windoes for 3 hours work, and another over $40k for 4 sets of window blinds ( that I bought on one for $800 and fitted myself in 3 hours) shops rip you off, restaurants rip your off. I was glad to move in the end as it was so annoying being over charged for everything, plus high risk of earthquakes, fires and even mud slides. Added to this most people as they have money are pompous and very unfriendly, with no neighboured hood friendliness and or spirit
