LOL! I think it held that distinction way before I left!
If your in San Anselmo, I used to lease a great hilltop house overlooking SA/ Ross/ Mt. Tam when I was doing the college thing. It was at the very top/end of Sequoia Rd right next to the water tower... GREAT times and the best view in Marin that didn't have a Bay/Ocean theme.
The natural beauty that makes Marin Marin still abounds.
The headlines in the Marin I.J...are still regularly about HOME PRICES....and Fairfax is still a NUCLEAR FREE Zone.
