These Baby Boomer, "New Urbanist" Architects Hate the Marin Suburban Lifestyle (aka "sprawl")

These self styled elitist advocates of "New Urbanism" hate the typical Marin Suburban lifestyle. If you live in Novato, Marinwood, Terra Linda, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Strawberry, Tam or Sausalito, within 1/2 mile of the 101, your neighborhood could be targeted for redevelopment into a "sustainable community" of condominiums, public housing, bike paths and trolley cars.

He also was a consultant on the first proposal for Marinwood City at Silvera Ranch for 6000 homes in the 1990s.  Susan Adams won her Supervisor seat campaigning against this development with the slogan "Cows not Condos" but signs praises for Plan Bay Area,
