Marin IJ: Martin Cruz Smith, ‘Gorky Park’ Author Who Lived in Mill Valley for a Time, Dies in San Rafael at the Age Of 82
Born Martin William Smith in Reading, Pennsylvania, he studied creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania and started out as a journalist, including a brief stint at the AP and at the Philadelphia Daily News. Success as an author arrived slowly. He had been a published novelist for more than a decade before he broke through in the early 1980s with “Gorky Park.” His novel came out when the Soviet Union and the Cold War were still very much alive and centered on Renko’s investigation into the murders of three people whose bodies were found in the Moscow park that Smith used for the book’s title.

Read MoreMarin 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.
