HOW abag distributed Marin's 14,405 units

THE STATE ASSIGNS NEW HOUSING NUMBERS EVERY 8 YEARS TO KEEP UP WITH FUTURE NEEDS. THIS TIME THE NUMBERS WERE UP TO 1400 x NORMAL.  

NINE MARIN CITIES AND THE COUNTY APPEALED THE HUGE NUMBERS.              All of the conditions listed to the right were legitimate bases for appeals. 

ALL APPEALS WERE DENIED WITHOUT COMMENT.  

TOTAL NEW HOUSING FOR CALIFORNIA: 2.5 MILLION 

OF THAT, 440,000 FOR THE BAY AREA 

AND OF THAT NUMBER, 14,405 FOR MARIN    

The numbers are so large they are being audited. Meanwhile, our cities are scrambling to find space, to make way for developers.  

EACH CITY'S LISTING, ABOVE LINKS TO THE ACTUAL APPEAL FILED, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF PUSHBACK THERE WAS.

BUT THEY WERE ALL OVERRULED, AND WE'RE ALL IN TERRIBLE POSITIONS, EXCEPT FOR NOVATO AND SAN RAFAEL -- THEY DID NOT FILE APPEALS, THEY FELT, AS LARGER, FLATTER CITIES WITH INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSIT HUBS, THAT THEY COULD ACCOMODATE THE HOUSING.
