I'm a resident since 1974. in a nutshell, I would like to see the future of Marin mirror as closely as possible it's past. Stop developing and stop believing you must, it's neither needed or wanted and will only lower the quality of life further. Nothing is going to make Marin affordable for the average low wage earner. If businesses don't pay their employees the appropriate salary they won't have employees, so they'll just have to adjust charge more to pay more. Folks who can't afford to live here simply need to move. I would like to own a multi-million dollar home with a view but I can't afford it, so I live in a condo. We have lost site in the logic of allowing markets to dictate and balance the natural order of things. Rent control, subsidized housing and give aways are counter productive erode what makes Marin special for all who live and visit regardless of income . Call me Elitist, call me selfish, just don't call me wrong. I am not, and you know it..
