*WARNING: Political content may offend some viewers.
Note: The above video provides a window on the regional government movement as promoted and supported by President Obama's senior advisors. It provides context for the regional government movement also espoused by the words and actions of the Association of Bay Area Governments and the One Bay Area Plan.
It is much more than just housing....
We debated posting this video during the election season since we are not interested in commenting on national politics. Viewers are encouraged to learn more about the regional government movement and come to their own conclusions.
The Association of Bay Area Governments is responsbile for the Regional Housing Allocations and Priority Development Areas that will transform Marinwood-Lucas Valley from a sleepy bedroom community to an urbanized transit oriented development area.
Under the current proposed housing development plans, our population may grow by 25%. Over 83% of all low income housing for unincorporated Marin in the 2012 Housing Element is located in Marinwood/Lucas Valley from St Vincents/Silvera Ranch to Big Rock.
We can only conjecture their plans for our future although they have been steadily "streamlining" development plans for government assistance housing through changes to zoning, the design review process and environment impact requirements.
At one recent Housing Element Workshop, a housing advocate stood up and asked that "all property within the 1/2 mile corridor of 101 be immediately rezoned to allow 30 units per acre" . That is the equivalent to many apartment blocks in downtown urban areas.
What is the future you want for our community? Is your voice being heard?
Please attend the Planning Workshop on Monday, October 8, 2012 from 1-5 PM held at Civic Center Plaza, Rm 328. in San Rafael, CA.
Please speak your mind. It is your right. It is our community.
