\"Aging

An aging veteran whose lost his home asks the Marin County Board of Supervisors to approve a plan authorizing more affordable housing in the affluent county.<\/p><\/div>\n

I dropped by the Marin County Board of Supervisors yesterday to photograph the newest board member, Katie Rice<\/a>, for Marin Magazine. After I made the pictures I needed of her, I hung around to take in some of a contentious hearing <\/a>on a countywide affordable housing plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s no need to go into details about the plan here (much ink <\/a>and many pixels<\/a> have been devoted to it), but the debate struck me as a common one<\/strong> — a liberal plea for housing for residents and workers who aren’t hedge fund managers or lawyers vs. a NIMBY-esque argument that low-cost, high-density housing would mean more traffic, not enough tax revenue from the news residents to support local services and environmental dangers.<\/p>\n

The crowd — on both sides —\u00a0 didn’t fit the Marin stereotypes<\/strong>. There were no yoga pants, few facelifts and more than several walkers. It was not the haves vs. the have-nots. It was the have-less vs. the have-no-so-much. Those who feared the new housing lived in Marin’s more middle-class neighborhoods — Marinwood, Tam Valley and Strawberry (well, not so middle-class for the latter). Those who argued for it lived in those locales as well, but also in Marin City and Hamilton.<\/p>\n

For me, it was a chance to put faces on an abstract argument,<\/strong> which is always a reminder that all these policy debates in the end effect the lives of real people.<\/p>\n

The meeting opened on a high note — several of them actually — with an a capella song about “there’s a lot of love in Marin” by local sax player and singer Richard Howell<\/a>. That was the last sign of love for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

There was no vote. That’s scheduled for next week. (More photos here<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
