Moving Experiences for Homes

Houses have been moved around for about as long as there have been houses. Often, houses were moved as neighborhoods evolved. For example, as early as 1886, a real estate developer bought a lot at the corner of State and Anapamu streets and moved a house off the property in order to construct a commercial building. A lot of houses were moved in Santa Barbara in the 1920s as the city expanded. In 1922, the local paper noted that there had been 33 house-moving permits issued that year.

Recently, I received an email from someone who said that he had heard that his childhood home the cute little home at 1705 Castillo Street had been moved there from another location. I did some research and found a city document that listed the home’s original address 811 Santa Barbara Street when the house was moved several months after the 1925 earthquake. That location is now a group of stores on the northwest corner of Santa Barbara and De le Guerra streets.

Generally, long wooden or steel beams were inserted through the foundation under the floor. The beams were lifted by hydraulic jacks or jack screws (large screws), a vehicle such as a flatbed truck was inserted underneath, and the whole dwelling was slowly transported. Some people actually traveled in their home as it moved along.

House-Moving Stories

In the 1940s, some people in Hollywood used a house moving as an excuse for a party. “Party Held While House is Moved. A two-story bungalow was condemned to make way for the Hollywood Freeway construction. While the house movers moved the house last night to a new location, guests frolicked within. Red lanterns and candles substituted for electric lights” (Pasadena Star-News, July 8, 1948).

In 1948, there was another house-moving story that was not the least bit funny. When the Hollywood Freeway was being built, more than 100 homes were ordered to be removed. Most of them were jacked up from their foundations when oops! the AFL House Movers union decided to go on strike. “Strike Leaves Houses Stranded on Freeway. … Some of the houses are on dollies, others on jacks, and many in the right-of-way” (Pasadena Star-News, May 26, 1948).

“City Council acted today to prevent 120 houses, whose travels were interrupted by the house movers’ strike, from toppling off their jacks and injuring persons and property. … The city would be faced with serious lawsuits if these houses caused damage” (Los Angeles Daily News, May 27, 1948).

After two weeks, the union ended the strike after receiving a pay increase. Whew!

More Problems

There was also the matter of moving utility wires and trimming trees as the houses moved along the streets. This became a problem in Santa Barbara in the early 1900s.

“An ordinance was introduced providing that companies maintaining wires less than 25 feet above the street, must lift them to all house moving without charge to the mover, but that when the wires were over 25 feet above

the street, the expense of lifting them is to be met by the person requiring the work” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, October 6, 1905).

Shortly after that, the problem of removing tree limbs to facilitate a move caused a big ruckus. A new ordinance was introduced providing that “any person who desires to move a house must obtain a permit from the Superintendent of Streets, and that if there are any obstructions in the way of branches which cannot be temporarily held out of the way, the Street Superintendent shall cut away the obstruction” (Santa Barbara Morning Press, June 8, 1906).

This was vigorously opposed by several citizens. One furious homeowner stood out on the street guarding her tree. “I dare you to touch a leaf of that tree, much less remove one of its limbs. … That is my tree; it is upon my property; and if you injure as much as a leaf of it, you will regret it” (The Independent, June 20, 1906).

An unusual house-moving problem occurred here in 1915. “Says Local Man Stole House” was the headline of an article that stated that a man had moved a house on Milpas Street. But he didn’t get a permit for the move. And it wasn’t his house! Double oops! (Santa Barbara Daily News & Independent, December 1, 1915.)

A Big Success Story

In 1959, the Santa Barbara Historical Society moved a large Victorian home from 422 Santa Barbara Street across the city to its present home at 414 West Montecito Street. To facilitate the move, the home was cut into three pieces and then reassembled at its destination. Please do not disturb the residents of these homes.

S.B. Rescue Mission’s Down Under–Themed Event Nets $621,000

On October 4, more than 300 supporters of the S.B. Rescue Mission (SBRM) gathered on the spectacularly beautiful Sandpiper Golf Course for the annual Bayou fundraiser, this year with an Aussie “Down Under” theme. The event netted an eye-popping $621,000. SafeLaunch Co-Founder and Executive Director Janet Rowse was honored.

Guests perused the 163-item silent auction and enjoyed socializing while the Al Vafa duo provided background music. The event drew all ages of supporters, who were united and passionate about the Rescue Mission’s critically important work. SBRM provides year-round emergency shelter and transitional services to the community’s most vulnerable residents and 12-month residential substance abuse treatment programs that boasts phenomenal success rates. An early, al fresco dinner followed.

In the program and in an interview, President Rolf Geyling provided an update on SBRM’s work. It has a $4.7 million budget and serves more than 200 people on average each night. While it requires skilled professionals and high-quality facilities, Geyling noted, at its core, it is simply a community of people of faith and compassion donors, staff, and volunteers —“who have taken that rare step of actually doing something.”

With none of its funding coming from government sources, SBRM does not face direct budget cuts; however, with the county facing a $550 million decrease in public service funding, Geyling foresees an increase in demand for SBRM’s services as more people in need turn to it.

Geyling reminded donors that its shelter services are a critical first step in the recovery process: “Most every journey out of homelessness starts with giving someone hungry a meal or giving a vulnerable person a safe place to lay their head.” Last year, SBRM provided 70,800 meals and 48,819 nights of shelter.

SBRM offers case management to all shelter residents, and in the past three years, it has increased the level of services, resulting in more clients transitioning out. Last year, 66 clients transitioned into a range of more positive placements.

Turning from the shelter program to SBRM’s state-certified residential treatment programs, which had 35 graduates last year, Geyling proudly touted their success rates,

with 65 percent of their graduates on average maintaining recovery five years after program completion. The national average is only 21 percent. Another impressive stat: All 35 of last year’s program participants are currently employed.

In the past 30 years, more than 1,000 participants have completed treatment.

Geyling made the exciting announcement that SBRM is in escrow on a sober living home for graduates of its women’s residential treatment program. More details will come. SBRM already has a men’s sober living home.

Another welcome addition to the services for women is the planned remodeling of a section of the women’s shelter for those ready to transition to a treatment or other supportive program and need a safe, stable environment while awaiting program placement. Case management services will continue for these individuals and will be specifically focused on each individual’s needs. A similar program has been successfully implemented in the men’s shelter and will serve as a model.

The event honored Janet Rowse for her work as cofounder and executive director of SafeLaunch, a nonprofit focused on preventing youth substance abuse. Poet and author Noah benShea and Geyling both paid tribute to her. In accepting the honor, Rowse explained how SafeLaunch’s drug-free clubs for adolescents, which have attracted more than 80,000 members in five states over the past 20 years, give teens a way to “save face when faced with peer pressure.” The nonprofit seeks to create environments where youth non-use becomes the norm.

Turning back to SBRM’s work, Board Chair Kiah Jordan made a compelling case that treatment programs are good investments. Citing data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, he noted that every dollar spent on treatment saves up to $12 in reduced healthcare, criminal justice, and lost productivity costs.

SBRM’s efficient, nonprofit model, Jordan added, enables it to offer a full year of residential treatment at a cost of only $34,000, compared to a national average cost of $228,000.

Director of Residential Treatment L.B. Chandler shared with guests his extraordinary story of addiction and recovery thanks to SBRM’s program more than 20 years ago. Chandler, who has worked at SBRM for 20 years, related

how he had tried other treatment programs before coming to SBRM, but without lasting success. He lauded SBRM’s 12-month program, which provided him with the necessary time for reflection, learning, and becoming involved with the larger recovery community.

He shared his gratitude for the amazing life he has now, with the best part being watching people come through the program and then return to lead others through the process.

This event is put on annually by the Women’s Auxiliary, which assists SBRM year-round in various capacities.

Local Collaboration Leads to the Best

Coming into the Santa Barbara Independent’s Best of Santa Barbara® week and the Fed’s rate decision seems like the perfect time to talk about price versus value and math versus emotion. What the Fed did rate-wise tells us their pensive state about cold, economic data where they feel a move could have the most positive impact for America. The companies that comprise our local Best of Santa Barbara® winners, runners-up, and finalists tell us much about ourselves the values we uphold and the entrepreneurs who followed their hearts to create the most positive impact for our community.

It is awesome to see readership rally around local spots, folks, collaborations, and concepts. It’s also important to note that for all the voters that supported these companies, almost as many supported those not recognized here. Alternatives and competition exist for a reason, and they help us determine what does and doesn’t work. We place value in what we feel gives us the best return; we trade votes and dollars for what we think is right. We want what is accessible, reliable, and dependable. So, what is local worth to you? What if you hit up your favorite local spot and they

don’t have an item in stock, or the wait is longer than you anticipated? Do you pivot? Do you wait?

The price and deliverable depend on the capacity of the business relative to the request. Is it out of the norm? Do they already know you and the request for easy reproduction? Are you the hundredth person today who asked, and were they built for only 20 requests at a time? Certainly, production these days is stymied by tariffs, access, labor, and time. And yet, isn’t that

exactly what we are paying for?

Looking local means investing in not only the economy around you, but also the decisionmakers that lead each place of business. Communicating needs, desires, goals, and necessities is always key for success doing so for the person across from you versus online builds more than just an account; it builds a community, trust, and continuance. As we celebrate those who we appreciate and adore, I hope that we also remember what it takes to deliver those

results. Let us compete, collaborate, and deliver for our community. After all, there’s more value in teamwork than in the glitz of any national ad campaign.

Getting Prepped for Winter Weather

California’s official Flood Preparedness Week runs October 18-25, and its arrival summons that old saying attributed to Benjamin Franklin: By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Fortunately, the heaviest spells of Santa Barbara’s typical storm season don’t arrive until after the first of the year. So, there’s still plenty of time to take simple steps to prepare for power outages, big winds, and heavy rains and related flooding.

Working with local, federal, and other state agencies, California’s Department of Water Resources annually rolls out messaging to help folks get ready. It’s pretty straightforward:

• BUILD AN EMERGENCY KIT. Include food, water, a flashlight, extra batteries, and medications to help sustain you and your family for at least three days.

• PROTECT IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION. Prioritize documentation and items that are hardest to replace, such as titles, deeds, and passports.

• STAY INFORMED. Sign up and pay attention to your community’s emergency alert system. Here in Santa Barbara, that’s readysbc.org

• PLAN AN EVACUATION ROUTE. Know where you’ll go if you have to leave, be it a hotel, friend’s house, or emergency shelter.

Now is also a good time to take a closer look at your property. Even the best-built homes ought to get a pre-

season once-over. It’s always better to catch and fix potential problems early on it could save you considerable time and money down the road.

• Make sure rain gutters and catch basins are clear of leaves, dirt, and other debris.

• Inspect the plaster weep screed at the perimeter of your home to ensure it’s not buried by soil or mulch, which could lead to rot.

• A good rule of thumb: The six feet of finish grade surrounding your structures should slope away at a quarter-inch per foot.

• Bonus savings: With colder days and rainy weather, reduce irrigation watering times and frequency.

• While you’re at it, review any flood coverage in your homeowners’ insurance policy. Update your policy if you find it lacking.

All of this may seem like a somewhat tedious chore. But getting better acquainted with your property and preparing for emergencies even mild ones is always a good call. Ben Franklin would agree. n
