Jim Knell’s Big Move: Santa Barbara Real Estate Mogul Launches Drive to Get Cars Back on State Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jim Knell may be far from a household name. But on State Street, Knell — founder of SIMA Corp — is by far the biggest commercial landlord in town, with 300 business tenants. Definite in his attitudes and blunt in his delivery, Knell is now letting his money do his talking, having just launched a campaign to bring cars back to State Street by a voter referendum should Knell’s paid signature gatherers collect 5,400 signatures of registered city voters required. “This is my last hurrah!” said Knell
