Marin IJ: Marin City Housing Developer Files Tam Valley Plan to Build 32 Units Instead of County’s Hopes for a Proposal to Split the Housing Between Marin City and Tam Valley
“The designs did not reflect the site constraints,” Kalish told the Marin IJ. “It literally did not look like a design that had been produced for that site.” Kalish said that despite the risk of flooding at the location, the drawings showed windows placed at ground level. “Even the tree selections, when I checked them, none of them could have tolerated living there because their roots wouldn’t tolerate brackish water,” she said.
Read MoreMarin Voice From Ace Thelin, of Forest Knolls: Sadly, Rampant Homelessness a Sign That Capitalism Is Working as Intended
Capitalism is thriving because morality and common decency is absent from the policies imposed by the capitalist class. The way I see it, high demand (lots of people) and low supply (not enough available housing) will always create fierce competition and drive up the cost of rent and mortgage payments.

Read MoreMarin IJ: Mill Valley Marsh Restoration Effort Lands $670,000 Grant
“The marsh itself is currently drowning through this muted tidal effect,” said Rob LaPorte, a project manager at the conservancy. “It takes longer for the tides to drain from the marsh than a normal functioning marsh.” “So we’re losing vegetation and we’re losing whole sections of the marsh to wave erosion,” he said. “We’re making sure we get a project implemented as fast as possible in order to restore the marsh and all of the rare wildlife and plants it supports.”
Read MoreDick Spotswood: Here’s Why Traffic Congestion on Marin’s Local Roads is Getting Worse
The post-pandemic trend to work from home has decreased the number of Marin residents commuting to San Francisco. Those new home-based workers patronize local restaurants, retail shops, grocery stores, bars and exercise venues, all by car. That’s why most Marin downtowns are vibrant. Marin’s prosperous residents want their property in top condition. Mill Valley City Manager Todd Cusimano reports that, this past year, 1,272 building permits were issued with a total valuation of $98 million. That means large numbers of contractors, landscapers and tradespeople coming and going.
