Marin Voice: Governor Newsom Should Protect CalHome Funding in New Budget

Marin Voice: Governor Newsom Should Protect CalHome Funding in New Budget

The lack of support for this problem has widespread implications that go far beyond the struggles of individuals and families. Communities suffer from the transience encouraged by rental housing. Local economies are deprived of the investment homeowners make and the stable supply of workers who set down roots for the long term. Children without stable housing live more disrupted lives with poorer educational outcomes, which prevents them from accessing high income-earning opportunities as they grow into the next generation of potential homebuyers. Families that are unable to build generational wealth struggle to contribute to societal wealth.

Dick Spotswood: Marin Cities Need Stronger Say in Design as Housing Approvals Flow

Dick Spotswood: Marin Cities Need Stronger Say in Design as Housing Approvals Flow

Encourage new housing only near freeways. Fortunately, most of the housing described above is close to Highway 101. Fairfax is the obvious exception. As Corte Madera Councilmember Eli Beckman said, “Our town is meeting its housing mandate by locating new units near the freeway.” That limits in-town traffic increases and preserves most of the small-town character. To make even these modest improvements to current state housing laws, our North Bay state legislative delegation and those in other suburban counties need to get aggressive on our behalf.

Gov. Newsom Slashes $11.5 Million for Performing Arts Fund, Devastating Bay Area Organizations

Newsom’s revision isn’t final, though; the legislature makes its own amendments before passing a budget on June 15. In the meantime, SFBATCO and other performing arts companies are urging their followers to write their representatives, the state budget committee and the governor’s office, with Dance Mission inviting allies to a letter-writing and phone-banking potluck at its Mission District facility at 3316 24th St. starting at noon on Saturday, May 17. The move comes nearly two weeks after theaters, circuses, music groups and more across the region and the country received “letters of termination” regarding their promised grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Marin IJ: Mill Valley Taps $500K for Wildfire Defense Buffer – Home Sellers in Risky Areas Must Give Prospective Buyers Fire Inspection Reports, and Cities Must Update Building Standards to Qualify for for State Fire-Protection Grants

Marin IJ: Mill Valley Taps $500K for Wildfire Defense Buffer – Home Sellers in Risky Areas Must Give Prospective Buyers Fire Inspection Reports, and Cities Must Update Building Standards to Qualify for for State Fire-Protection Grants

“We have a very robust program with the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, where we do a lot of projects of fire fuel removal and fire fuel reductions, and public education and inspections,” Hilliard said. “So we need to know where the state says, these are high priority areas that you should also be looking at.” The state continues to impose fire-protection mandates for homeowners and municipalities, Hilliard said. Sellers of homes in risky areas must give prospective buyers fire inspection reports. Cities must update building standards to qualify for state fire-protection grants.
Hilliard said the state’s new fire maps do not influence decisions by insurers on who can obtain coverage. The insurers use other data.
