The current conflict between elected officials in Marin County and the Association of Bay Area Governments’ Regional Housing Needs Allocation report meant to produce housing targets will not solve the affordable housing crisis now or in the future.

SMART must evolve into a truly multimodal agency to stay relevant and hopefully thrive as we turn the page on the coronavirus pandemic. A seamless North-South Greenway along the entire existing rail line would be extremely popular and generate a big increase in use. The cost of a project like this would be relatively modest compared to rail infrastructure. SMART also needs to address the gap in Larkspur and Corte Madera to connect the nearly completed path at Redwood Highway to Wornum Drive along the old railroad right of way. It would connect the path at Second Street to the path at Mission Avenue. Next, the Tamalpais Avenue gap in San Rafael should be addressed. It would connect the path at San Pedro Road with the path at the top of Lincoln Avenue. In Central Marin, my list would include the Puerto Suello Hill gap in North San Rafael. Doing so would fulfill its promise to the voters. SMART can use the pause to focus on completing gaps in the North-South Greenway bicycle pedestrian path along the length of the existing rail line. While I believe that the train will play a critical role in future transportation, a short pause makes sense. Spotswood thoughtfully suggests a pause in expansion of rail infrastructure for a few years until the impact of the pandemic on commuting and jobs is better understood. It is particularly timely, considering that the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit district just hired a new general manager (“SMART selects Utah official as general manager,” Oct. I am writing in regard to IJ political columnist Dick Spotswood’s recently published commentary (“Pandemic uncertainty should pause all transit, highway expansion,” Oct. Jeff Lapic, Novato SMART must focus on North-South Greenway We need a more enlightened approach to dealing with our immigrant community and using technology and surveillance in a manner that respects the privacy and civil rights of all our community members. In the election to choose his successor, I hope all candidates, especially Undersheriff Jamie Scardina, will strongly disavow this practice.

The report, which details Doyle’s sharing of license plate surveillance data with federal agencies, once again shows his continuing arrogant disregard for state law and Marin County community sentiment. I am writing in regard to the recently published article on the American Civil Liberties Union’s lawsuit against Marin County Sheriff Robert Doyle (“Marin lawsuit: Sheriff abusing license plate data,” Oct. Frances Coya, Mill Valley Lawsuit shows sheriff’s disregard for state law Our representatives need to protect the citizens who live here first, not just build, overcrowd and segregate. There has to be set limits and housing controls and fairness in neighborhoods and towns or every town’s quality of life will suffer. Their neighborhood should not be used as the “go-to” for solving the problems of the state and Marin. They need more parks, playgrounds and adequate parking. The residents of East San Rafael are overextended and deserve a good quality of life. There are several more proposals on the books, but officials should rethink these plans. In East San Rafael, there already appears to be quite a few affordable housing units, as well as housing for homeless people. We need controls over landlords who sometimes allow as many as 10 people to live in small apartments. We cannot house everyone that wants to come.
Many want to come to California, but we must establish limits. I do not believe the decision-makers experience the daily overcrowding, the unsanitary conditions, the parking issues, litter issues and neglect of care, as well as ordinance controls, that so many residents have to live with. The result is more overcrowding, as well as more segregation of the poor, immigrants and the homeless in this one area. It never seems like any help is given to existing residents, but more people are added nonetheless. It seems like every time Marin elected officials are faced with the problem of affordable housing, they look to East San Rafael. Helping teachers and essential workers find affordable housing in Marin County is a good idea, but I am concerned that recent proposals for projects in East San Rafael and the Canal neighborhood are the result of more loss of local control. I have reservations about the proposed state affordable housing project near San Quentin Village in East San Rafael (“Marin legislators field questions on state-mandated housing near San Quentin prison,” Oct. Stop approving housing for Canal, East San Rafael
