94903 community calls for a moratorium on high-density development

We advocate a moratorium on all high-density housing development proposals (condominiums and apartments) in Marin County’s zip code 94903. We are very concerned about an array of issues: Traffic, Schools, Jobs, Water, Environment, Health, Social Equity, Gentrification, Quiet, Privacy, Views, Transparent Accountable Government and more. Which aspect affects your quality of life?
The moratorium should be in effect until two years' of SMART train operations. Together let's plan for reality!

Why is this important?

Traffic problems are ignored. Traffic solutions are delayed. Congestion is impassible! Schools are not properly funded. Jobs are replaced by high-density luxury housing. Water supplies are limited and increasingly costly. Endangered species are extinct here. Autism and asthma have doubled in 20 years. Lower income neighborhoods are scheduled for “redevelopment” as luxury housing. 83% of subsidized housing in unincorporated Marin County is slated for 94903. Subsidized housing is relegated to freeway and heavy diesel freight train routes. Light, views, and privacy are impacted. Politicians are violating Housing Element and General Plan provisions without explanation.
