Read MoreMarin IJ Editorial: Tam Valley Housing Proposal’s Scope Clashes With Other County Plans
How much say the board will have is uncertain given the state Legislature’s pro-housing initiative that has effectively undermined local review and control over proposed housing developments. The proposal calls for building a 32-unit affordable apartment complex on a half-acre at 150 Shoreline Highway. The location, in a classified flood zone, runs into the county’s planning focus to limit development in areas that might be threatened by climate change and rising tides.

Read MoreMarin 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.
