Longtime Mill Valley Whole Foods Patrons See the Closure of the Miller Location as a Massive Blow – What Comes Next for the Beloved Quonset Hut Building, and Who Can Repurpose It for the Benefit of the Town?
Many residents find it hard to believe that Amazon—one of the richest companies in the world—couldn’t afford the necessary building updates. Mill Valley Mayor Stephen Burke sought to squash the idea that the City obstructed seismic retrofits that were necessary, and made it clear in a statement: “The City regrets the potential closure of the Whole Foods, which is an important community resource. The decision to close, if true, is based on business considerations that the City is not privy to. Further, other than issuing a permit for roof repairs, the City has imposed no further requirements or restrictions upon the property. In fact, this year City Council, the Planning Commission, and City Staff have dedicated themselves to updating and modifying parking, commercial codes, and other regulations with the goal of making the opening and operation of vibrant businesses easier.”

IJ Music Legend Paul Liberatore Gets an Inside Look at the Sweetwater Music Hall’s New Life as a Nonprofit Arts Organization – And Some People’s Confusion About How It Functions Day-to-Day
While the Trump administration tries to make diversity a dirty word, Sweetwater is all about presenting a diverse selection of music from different ethnicities, histories and cultures. They’re trying to steer away from a steady stream of tribute acts and Grateful Dead-inspired jam bands that draw crowds and make money but limit the variety of music that Sweetwater feels that it’s obligated to offer its audiences. “As a nonprofit, we have to have something for the whole community,” Hoppe said. “We can’t just be a jam band venue. We can’t just be a rock venue or a cover band venue. We actually have a firm rule that we can’t have more than three tribute bands a month.”

United Against Hate Week Starts this Sunday! Submit Your Vision of Mill Valley Stands United Against Hate!
When a victim is attacked because of their real or perceived race/ethnicity, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation, the message is, “People like you are not welcome here and are not safe here. ”Even acts of vandalism or verbal threats can send powerful shock waves of fear to all who recognize they could have been a target. Fear and isolation caused by hate incidents degrade the quality of life for people in the targeted group and drive decisions about where to live and work, and how much to participate in the community.

For Several Years, City Hall Pushed for Inclusionary Housing. Now They’re Pivoting, With Requirements That Seek 15% or 20% of Medium-to-Larger Projects
About 14,700 people live in 6,600 homes in city limits, said city planner Danielle Staude. New housing is a challenge and costly in Mill Valley because the city doesn’t have many available parcels, and most of what is available is on irregular lots and hillsides, which add costs to developers. Apart from church- or city-owned properties, only two lots are suitable for an apartment of 20 or more residences.
