Just a quick in here look shows me that TIGER adds an awful lot of stuff
to this area.

This is completely unscientific, but I took a fairly random chunk of
area in Santa Barbara county:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?mlat=34.48462670546644&mlon=-119.73978426792107&zoom=11

There are ~6800 objects in there.

96% of them are TIGER objects, 3% are from you, and a very small portion
are from other sources.  Now, I could have just happened to pick the one
area that you haven't gotten to.  But, I just want to make sure you
understand the magnitude of what you're asking for.  If you really think
it's best for OSM in Santa Barbara to get rid of 96% of its data (even
if it is the _worst_ 96%), then let's go for it.

I just did another download of about 60% of the bounding box you've
asked for.  This one is 86% TIGER, 10% you, and three other dudes with
~1% each.
