Save Our City, an advocacy group, filed suit in May 2023 to void the Marin County Board of Supervisors’ 3-2 decision in March 2023 to approve the issuance of up to $40 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds for use in underwriting the planned building at 825 Drake Ave.

In particular, jobs, leisure, and housing,” Baldassare said, according to the report. “In our polling, we also looked at personal finance. But the biggest change we’ve seen over time has been satisfaction with jobs, which went from 52% saying they were very satisfied in our first polling to 31% today.” Other polling, by Gallup, asked Californians to rate their satisfaction of life from 1 to 10.
