It's a
tale of two cities, and their divergent paths to meet the needs for jobs and
housing. One city is working within the system. One city is bucking
it.
Last month, the city of Mill Valley sent a letter to the Association
of Bay Area Governments that pushed back against the number of new homes ABAG
said the city needs to create between 2014 and 2022 as its share of the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation. Earlier in the year, ABAG said Mill Valley would need
an additional 292 households, but the agency reduced that number to 129. That
might seem like a fairly insignificant number, but it's not to residents who
hold the protection of their city's small-town character as a high priority.
Because Mill Valley essentially is built out, new homes tend to mean increased
density.
