How is Santa Barbara Like Montreal?

I was thinking how good it was to see Jane Hulse's article today on the front page of the Real Estate section of the LA Times, but then it hit me, soon every article in a newspaper in southern California will be written by a former News-Press writer. (I guess they had to fire Anna Davidson because they were worried people might think that they still employed some talented journalists.) It's kind of like trying to root for a baseball team with a cheap owner, and you have to watch all the talent walk or get sent away. Maybe we can hope Wendy moves her franchise to another town?
