We need more affordable housing for sure. If we can compel developers to make more mixed income housing via a mixture of incentives if they do, and higher taxes on developments that are purely high-income, I think more mixed ones would end up getting built. Wouldn't it be better if everyone who works here could afford to live here? We also need real solutions for the homeless that don't involve making it someone else's problem. Programs for rehabilitation, job training, and also public housing that isn't a dead end. And job training applies to far more than just the homeless. Even just more programs where people can get volunteer experience can help with long-term employment prospects. Also, we have these lovely summer street festivals on Thursdays in San Rafael. How much are things like that advertised outside of Marin? Overall I want Marin to be a place that is seen as not only beautiful, but also welcoming to anyone who wants to visit, and not just a place full of rich enclaves.
