Build Housing

Marin needs more housing.

Marin could do more to build the housing it needs.

[Marin IJ @marinij]

We need more affordable housing. Many residents are pleading for it, and the state is requiring that Marin permit at least 14,000 new housing units by 2031. May is Affordable Housing Month, so I would like to assess how we are… https://t.co/IOHParZQcu

@wyattpate @ArmandDoma He says he could collect $144,000 in rent/year. Insurance for a single family home is much less - maybe $5,000? If it doubled in 5 years, like yours, it'd reduce his net $2,500 a year. Sure, it sucks to make less, but I'd still take the $136,000.

@bobbyfijan There are plenty of families. VCs just don't see anything managed by their wives as problems worth funding.

@verymerryjerrry @CSElmendorf I suspect he also didn't want the work being a landlord, and is blaming tenant protections instead.

@StatisticUrban NIMBYism is not based on logic. It's based on a fear of change. That's a lot of lefty-ism, especially in the environmental world, that's just trying to stop change.

Love MEHC intern David Newman's Marin Voice. Opposing housing is fundamentally regressive.

Marin Voice: To save Democratic Party, Bay Area must build more homes https://t.co/yHiGT99AYj

@KrampusSnail @CSElmendorf @California_HCD Same, although Sausalito is the worse offender. If HCD lets Sausalito get away with revising it's already crappy Housing Element to retroactively prohibit the only project proposed to date, and trying to commission custom software to objectively measure view impacts.

@KrampusSnail @CSElmendorf @California_HCD To this was the most likely site to develop in Tiburon - thus, the lawsuit.

@AaronGuhreen This is the same judge that ruled against Marin County and the precedence clause it put in to address non-compliant community plans. https://t.co/YzIZyhTLkh

@stacyfmitchell This is disconnected from the reality on the ground. Marin has successfully squashed virtually all development. Our largest developer is a non-profit provider of transitional housing. There are no rich developers here. Only rich homeowners that protest everything.

@mateosfo My foray into Marin school buses was so depressing. The amount people will cling to the status quo is shocking.

[Build Housing @jrskis]

@ballesteros_312 First, we need buses. My kids never had an option to take a school bus. If buses are provided, parents who opt to drive instead of take the bus should pay a fee. In Marin, it's backwards. Parents whose kids take the bus pay $500/semester. It's "free" to drive them to school.

@rieszspieces @ArmandDoma This looks to me like "student evaluations don't tell you how good the teaching was", not "student evaluations are better for easy teachers, and worse for good teachers".

@SammyShills @stan_okl I've tried to watch it a couple times, and I just can't bring myself to do it.

[Build Housing @jrskis]

@MarcussonSteve @stan_okl They were definitely having fun! But they also have special marks on their caps for throwing up and having to go to the hosptial to get your stomach pumped. That's a little messed up.

[Build Housing @jrskis]

@mateosfo Marin has earned this.
