Santa Barbara was once home to the grandest hotels on the California coast. The Potter Hotel had nearly 600 rooms, a private zoo, and its own farms. Andrew Carnegie stayed there. Then it burned to the ground. Four years later, the 1925 earthquake leveled eighty-five percent of downtown. Instead of rebuilding what was lost, a woman named Pearl Chase and a small group of civic leaders redesigned the entire city in the Spanish Colonial Revival style — white stucco walls, red tile roofs, wrought-iron balconies — and created the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, still called the most beautiful public building in America. That decision made Santa Barbara gorgeous. It also made it almost impossible to build anything new. This is the story of how one city's devotion to beauty, preservation, and environmental protection — from the 1969 oil spill that helped launch Earth Day to the growth restrictions that froze the housing supply for forty years — turned the American Riviera into the most expensive small city in the country. A place where the median home costs over two million dollars, the workers commute from fifty miles away, and even wildfires and mudslides can't bring the prices down. Featuring the lost Flying A Studios, the Japanese submarine attack on Ellwood, the San Ysidro Ranch where Kennedy honeymooned, and the Montecito estates where billionaires rebuilt after disaster — only to watch their property values climb higher.
