“In a unanimous vote on Wednesday, the City Council joined Sausalito and Corte Madera in directing staff to appeal the Association of Bay Area Governments’ regional housing methodology. It would require the city to add 979 residences by 2031.
Of the cities and towns that have appealed so far, Larkspur is tasked with adding the most residences. Under the regional housing allocation formula, Mill Valley would have to add 865; Corte Madera, 725; and Sausalito, 724.”
I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around this. Some government agency tells a city they have to build more houses? I’ve never even heard of this.
Yeah. One thing I think is interesting is that the author just glides right over that like it's the most natural thing in the world for some bureaucrat to be dictating how many residences must be buit.
Given the steep landscape. I can’t imagine where they will shoehorn in these residents without compromising surrounding earth they will have to demolish existing structures.
