My idea is for Marin to establish itself as a leader in solving homelessness. It feels like we are putting bandaids on it. I don't have the answer, but I have the lived experience of the entire county using my town as the catch-all for the problem county wide. It'd be nice to not feel like the de facto hub for an issue that it feels like we're just managing instead of trying to solve.

    The answer is more affordable housing. People are homeless because they can't afford housing, full stop. We can create more affordable housing without turning into a major urban hub, but local governments MUST support the creation of new housing and measures to control the cost of existing units.
