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.

Over the last eight years, MEF has received an average of more than $177,000 per year from the county. For the fiscal year that began in July, however, the county had budgeted only $100,000 for the organization. Lucan said the allocation was reduced because de la Rosa would be carrying some of the load. Nevertheless, Lucan said he considers MEF a “big success.”

Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability.

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. When adequate housing is guaranteed, the rental market will crumble. People will no longer sign a contract in which half or a third of their income goes to rent because they will no longer have the fear of being homeless.

Read MoreCEO Monthly Magazine Names Mindful Life, Mindful Work Inc’s Jonathan Reynolds 2024 CEO of the Year for the Region of California in the Category of ‘Mindfulness and Wellbeing’!
Over the years, Reynolds has worked with everyone from lower level employees who need help with “negotiating, leveraging and positioning” their way up the food chain to companies that reach to work with their entire “C-Suite” of executives. “It’s all about people, pay and purpose – the culture, the money and the reason you get out bed in the morning,” he says. Reynolds’ leap occurred around the time that mindfulness meditation became wildly popular and catapulted into a billion-dollar business, according to Fortune magazine.
Read More‘Unprecedented’ Housing Project at Seminary in Strawberry Moves Forward Amid Neighbor Pushback
Famed architect Mark Cavagnero, who designed the project, did not return calls seeking comment, but he told the Chronicle in 2019 that the fight has “been a big, big, big taste of NIMBYism the likes of which I’ve never experienced.” “There is no property anywhere near this size anywhere in southern Marin, if not all of Marin, that would be available and zoned for housing,” Cavagnero said at the time. “This is important not only for the housing we can build — workforce housing, affordable housing, senior housing — but also on an exemplary basis.”

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.
