Video: The Story of How Marin Was Ruined

Citizen Marin has launched a new video describing the slow decline of Marin based on bad planning decisions and to drive awareness of the Larkspur Station Area Plan. Sunnyvale and Cupertino are marked for even more significant growth than Larkspur...

In December I published an article "The Story of How Marin Was Ruined". It describes the slow but gradual demise of the quality of life in Marin after cumulative planning decisions - such as the grandiose plans for Larkspur where 920 units equivalent to 5 Win Cups, and a hotel, and 177,000 square feet of additional retail are planned.

Nearby Sunnyvale is marked for even more significant growth - 4,412 additional housing units along El Camino as the council has designated the area a "Priority Development Area" where high density housing should be concentrated.

This article has now be turned into a video by Citizen Marin complete with narrated voiceover and infographics.
