VIDEO: Planning Commission Monday January 14th

This chart shows Extremely Low Income to Low Income housing allocations. We have 83%.




Editor's Note: I attended this meeting and spoke briefly 
 
 I always feel uneasy making my points.   I  am very passionate and try to keep the my points simple.  While the rest of Marin County is correctly worried about various environmental/social impacts,  it is important to drive home the fact that 71% of all impacts will occur in a tiny sliver of Marin (.6 percent of all land area) in Marinwood-Lucas Valley.  Southern Marin is crying foul over 20 unit building.  Our smallest building is 60 units.  Grady Ranch is 240 units.
 
It will devastate our neighborhoods.  THEY (the planners and other communities) are being NIMBYS when they insist we take 71%of all housing allocations.
 
We need to get a lawyer to examine the CA Code 65584 for implications of concentrating all this affordable housing in a single neighborhood. 
 
As usually, only one person, a paid hack for the building industry voiced any support for the EIR but even he was upset with the process.  Nona Dennis was articulate and well informed.  TJ Meagher from Tam Almonte delivered an impressive speech.
 
The Commissioners sat like toads on a log silently deaf to reason.  I’ll bet not a single one lives anywhere close to an impacted neighborhood.
 
We must get the word out to everyone.
