Santa Margarita is close enough to the best and has an abundance of what they desperately need, water.

Jorge,

Word on the street is that Atascadero wants to join with Santa Margarita to ‘share’ the water.

Did they miss Beverly Hills and Compton as a pair?

This is copycat boosterism. The Gallup would have no way to assess such matters — asking people their opinions is hardly scientific, it’s gossip. The more substantive mental health assessments done by others are a better gauge of that issue. Also, if they rated on “access to food,” clearly they didn’t interview the large number of people who must dumpster dive and go to food banks. Looks like maybe all they asked to respond were our elected officials, who can’t quite get over waking up every day to know they are in charge of the happiest place.

The survey most have excluded elected officials.

San Luis? Well maybe but Paso Robles…that place has ALWAYS been a s hole.

Well, the way I figure it, all the questionnaires were erroneously sent to App. That’s the ONLY plausible answer.

More likely, they only interviewed elected officials and the minions. Who else would be so happy, happy? Certainly not the peons being screwed by the electeds.

That’s why we live here.

Was that with or without water?

Yes water will be important when you’re cruising around all the bums downtown; dodging panhandlers can give you a powerful thirst. The good news is there are plenty of bars that will be happy to overcharge you for a drink.
