Do not live in Montecito

3/7/2021
I lived in Montecito for 7 years up-to 2020. Everything is sooo over priced, Contractors rip you off, one contractor tried to charge me $800 just to clean the Windows on our 4 bed home for 3 hours work, and another over $40k for 4 sets of window blinds ( that I bought online 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 neighbor hood friendliness and or spirit
If you do not wear the right clothes, drive the right car or look a certain way people look down in you
My advice is find another location to live
