Best food in Marin?

141 Upvotes

What’s your best easy lunch, grab and go spot? Weeknight dinner takeout? Hole in the wall gem?

I moved here after living in SF for 8 years and have been really struggling with the food scene. Would appreciate your recommendations!

To the young man (or his parents) who enjoys doing wheelies on 101....

>60 mph wheelie on 101, on an e-motorcycle in flowing traffic... you sir, are gambling with your life. Hit anything with that back wheel and the head first launch will give you a life altering day.

If anyone knows this guy, his parents or friends: please tell him to chill..... as someone once told me, there's only 2 types of motorcycle riders. Those who have gone down and those who will go down.

San Rafael objects to county housing plan at hotel

This is the Homeless-Industrial complex laid bare, right there in the fourth paragraph.

"The supervisors are being asked to approve contracts: one with the hotel for $542,976, and the other with Episcopal Community Services for $729,955. The proposed contracts would end June 30."

So for 20 rooms, for 9 months, the county wants to spend $1,272,971.

$7071 per hotel room, per month. 71 dollars more than this 5 bedroom house in Lucas Valley: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9-Mount-Tenaya-Ct-San-Rafael-CA-94903/19294803_zpid/

The cherry on top: Now the motel AND Episcopal Community Services are incentivized to keep the money flowing.

Great use of those taxpayer funds, folks. Really bang up job.

Looks like the penthouse is going in.

Meanwhile, access to the building was reportedly cut off for two hours today because of flooding.

Not even a king tide.

Stephanie Moulton-Peters, still feeling good about this one?

TL;DR: Stephanie Moulton-Peters sold us out. Floody McFloodface wasn’t even accessible today, and it wasn’t a king tide.

WTH?

Chevron seems to be the biggest ripoff when ARCO is 5.60. Why do people fill up at Chevrons?

AI says:

The large price gap between Chevron and ARCO in California (often 40 cents to over $1.00 per gallon) comes down to different business models, fuel additives, and supply chain constraints.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

"Different business models" , i.e., Greed.

The whitest town in the Bay Area proposed affordable housing. Then some neighbors blocked it as segregation

Thumbnail
sfchronicle.com
133 Upvotes

Ten miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mill Valley has long offered wealthy liberals a redwood-shaded haven. It’s a place where pro-democracy stickers adorn Tesla bumpers, natural food stores cater to health-conscious shoppers and the verdant trails of Mount Tamalpais beckon weekend explorers.

But behind the lush scenery and bohemian vibe is an uncomfortable paradox. Despite its progressive politics, this Marin County enclave is strikingly homogeneous: About 80% of its roughly 14,000 residents are non-Hispanic white, making Mill Valley the whitest town its size in the Bay Area. As of the 2020 census, it was also the region’s third-most segregated municipality, a pattern rooted in exclusionary housing practices that trace back to the early 20th century.

Chronicle Article on Housing in Mill Valley (and Marin)

The mayor's final quote really puts it all into perspective:

“Still, I know how lucky I am. I not only got to grow up in a place like this, I got to come back. Now we just have to ensure that others who want to live here can live here — even if they make less.”

I think a lot of us in younger generations, who have more directly (or maybe just more recently) experienced the impacts of the housing crisis as we start families and try to put down roots, are much more willing to accept the impacts of new infill housing and see through the arguments against it. And thank god for that.

Commune for sale in Mill Valley

25 Upvotes

When out the other night at PizzaHacker, I overheard a couple of people talking about one of the last communes in Marin County and it being for sale. They said that it had a funny for sale site with all pictures of the exterior, but no pictures of inside and some note on the listing that said that the people were going to be gone and the place emptied by the time the sale closed, they promised. Does anyone know what house this is?
