message: Is it necessary to have an entire section dedicated to major streets?  There is only one major street in the town, and the only people who would be interested in information on this topic are residents of IV.  Perhaps move some of this information to the culture section?169.231.111.27 (talk) 22:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Why no mention, however brief, that Kinko's was founded in Isla Vista in 1970? It started out as one of the early off-campus copy shops anywhere (when copying first became affordable to students), became nationally ubiquitous, and was sold to FedEx in 2004 for $2.4 billion.  Quite a legacy to come from such a small place and small hippie beginnings.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FedEx_Office  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.223.177 (talk) 05:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't know to what extent Isla Vista is a recognized community, versus a place defined by the US Census Bureau, but as of 2020, the previous census-designated place (CDP) of Isla Vista was separated into two CDPs: "Isla Vista" and "University of California-Santa Barbara".
*Isla Vista: population 15,500, land area 0.551 mi, water area 0.044 mi
*University of California-Santa Barbara: population 9,710, land area 1.299 mi, water area 0.116 mi

replies: text: Isls Vista is definitely a distinct community with lots of private student housing directly adjacent to the University campus. You're demonstrating the problem with the sloppy mention of CDPs in community articles. The Census Bureau chops up unincorporated areas for their statistical purposes without regard to how communities see themselves. In other words, the CDP may not match a local understanding of the community boundaries. Editors using CDPs data need to be aware of this. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 02:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
