Healthcare options in Santa Barbara?

I'm a remote worker and Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. What are your go-to spots? Thanks! It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Hot take but I genuinely enjoy living here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Oak Park. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like sushi.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
