6. I'm sure the Ross Valley Reporter is REAL fuckin' progressive.

What's the average net worth in Ross Valley? Somewhere between ungodly rich and astrofuckinnomical.

Look, Marin is a beautiful place and they've done a bang up job of keeping it from getting fucked up (unlike, say, the East Bay, or the South Bay) but the NIMBYism and paranoia of some of the folks there knows no bounds. No decent public transportation? Oh, you don't say. And why the fuck is that?

Because for 40 years they've kept out BART, they've pissed and moaned and played delaying games over the most meager attempt to put in light rail on the Sonoma-Marin axis, and you STILL either have to drive over the GGB or take a ferry from Larkspur (lovely, but...) to commute to anywhere with actual jobs that isn't Autodesk.

Marin exists in an extremely unrealistic bubble, and it makes it very hard for families to live there, for real working people to live there, and for the actual, non-independently wealthy folks that marinites NEED to, say --empty their trashcans or wait their tables-- to function there.
