ideas for show episodes and topics
No particular order of priority, and certainly not a complete list:

Your list is not interactive... should it be?
Each episode of the show will have a separate blog entry by date. As no episodes are yet completed, those entries have not yet appeared. The list of topics here is just a list, but a link on each and a narrative description for each topic certainly would be nice, but only likely after I quit my day job because I got a phat advance from Dreamworks for future productions of OLPA.
The first episode, about the Second District Supervisorial election for the June 2006 election, still should appear in late March, and will have a separate blog entry for that and subsequent episodes.
Great!
How about adding the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance, its process through the committees and how it will affect various neighborhoods around town?
To respond to BETSY:
I am thinking the City Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance (NPO) would be addressed in a broader episode or two about the City General Plan Update (GPU), all under the theme about how much urban growth and increase in residential density is enough to consider Santa Barbara "built out" at "carrying capacity" so Santa Barbara remains as Santa Barbara.
We are more interested in the effects of zoning if the thousands of residential lots really are built out up to their maximal potential under the current zoning or potential change in zoning with GPU2030. Contrast this with too much focus on existing homes simply getting bigger under existing R1 zoning for the "single family" lots that are the purview of the City NPO.
Increased density and increased house sizes both can have the same overall effect, to be explored in the future episode of OLPA.
An episode or two also will profile the various "neighborhood groups" of all stripes, and what the hot issues are or are not with those groups. The City NPO certainly is a big deal to some of them where most of their neighborhood is zoned R1.
