“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.
