Context: Marin county has the highest median household income in the whole filthy rich state, and also the lowest minimum wage (set by state). It is super super super super expensive to live in Marin. Then they want to cram all the people that need "affordable housing" in one area, because God forbid anyone else should have to look at poor people! Then like every other city in the world, when they do have a project with affordable units, by the time the place actually gets built all of those affordable units have been bargained away, and it's just another market-rate and up project sitting there in a neighborhood where no one in the vicinity can afford to move in so, boom you got gentrification!
@@ecoquilting7077 If they are already housed what do they care if they can afford to live in a new development, I'm sure most people would like to move on up to the east side but can't afford it.
They will get in their cats and take all their biz to other towns -- have you seen Marin City? There will not be any strolling through the local park to the neighborhood wifi-ready cafe, just another generation of overlooked needs.
@@Joesmith-mg6xd who do you mean by "they"? The residents who already live in Marin City? The ones who have lived there their whole lives and their parents still live there too? Or the deep-pocket people who smell cheap opportunities if only they can get rid of all these pesky poor minorities?
The whole point is that Marin City is a hotbed of "Have Nots" who will not be able to rent or buy the new housing. "They" set affordability standards that are way higher than that market will bear.
Certainly, every good neighborhood has improved greatly with section 8 housing. Try researching Antioch, Ca. before and after a massive number of section 8 homes rented out, that will tell what happens to decent areas when many section 8 recipients move in.
Good Lord, someone is actually building housing, and the news has to bring out all the tired old diversity talking points bla bla bla. Why not actually try to do a positive story for once about people who are DOING STUFF? I wish more journalists had actual working experience in labor or trades.
Tell me again how greedy landlords and developers are the problems and the chorus of "community groups" feigning concern "We are all for affordable housing but...." have nothing to do with the problem. Yeah, let's all vote for rent control because we don't want renters living near us
@@Joesmith-mg6xd , history affects the present. Historically, a particular group of people wanted "to live off of other people, they are entitled" which is why slavery still exists.

@@vootamu1 Nice use of over used "buzz" words. Enslaved? What would most of those who are enslaved do if all the businesses went bankrupt, they would be without any income and living on the streets.
Nimbyism is oerpetrated by those who are (self-) satisfied. These people just want to be seen and heard and not be just expected to get out the way because some developer wants them gone.
@@ecoquilting7077 No one there is going to have to get out of the way, that is new rentals which are an addition to the other existing rentals, no one has to move. What a disingenuous argument they are making.

Excited to see way more housing being built all over this great state.

@@Joesmith-mg6xd yet it is a fave buzzword
I don't understand what they're fighting. Now that they have housing, no one else can move there? What's wrong with 74 additional housing units?
They new units will not be affordable no matter what they call them.
@@ecoquilting7077And why do you think that is?
@@MadLadsAnonymous Ask my full-time paycheck!
Exactly, those new units will not displace anyone, it's an addition not a replacement they just don't want more non blacks to live there.

More well educated, high functioning residents? Oh, the horror!!

"Gentrification"? ...you mean hard working people who don't have an endless booking history in the criminal system?
“I have got mine” - nimby

Sending my thoughts and prayers to all the NIMBYs in this video
Gentrification NOT a bad thing!!!!!!!
Neither is your mom.
Meanwhile, 100’s of affordable homes in Marin and Sonoma Counties are in jeopardy of being redeveloped or closed.
In this situation we need to do right by the people we need to do right by the people not not undercut
I am SORRY. BUT OUR STATE NEEDS MORE HOUSING. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION.
Marin is the ideal location for affordable section 8 housing.
Certainly, every good neighborhood has improved greatly with section 8 housing. Try researching Antioch, Ca. before and after a massive number of section 8 homes rented out, that will tell what happens to decent areas when many section 8 recipients move in.
They should have put this development in Ross.
Perhaps they should put a massive apt complex full of section 8 next to your home.
1:35. Developers don’t care about communities. Only money.
I didn't realize Marin had people of color, I thought they were all white.
That is funny, but very sad.

Just another guise for their nimbyism. Build double the housing if they keep pushing back.
