Is The Good Earth Coming to Tam Juntion or Not?

tamjunction_copy_500 

There is a lone wolf out there trying to shut down the Good Earth Grocery store at Tam Junction. Or is there? What is Dave Coury, of Corte Madera really up to? He filed an administrate challenge 30 minutes before the environmental exemption was due to take effect. What is his motive? At first glance it appears to be about traffic congestion.  But, as a vocal advocate for more affordable housing in Marin, there are questions as to what he really wants.

Mr. Coury stated in the IJ article that he doesn't want to see housing at this site. Perhaps he is using the process to bring attention to SEQUA, the housing element issue?

Mill Valley Real Estate - Blazing Hot Market!

frontofhome409tg_750

Mill Valley real estate continues to be on fire! 

It's tough out there for Buyers, but a great time for Sellers to go on the market. Inventory remains low yet demand is high thanks to a robust San Francisco tech industry.

Employment appears to be shifting somewhat towards San Francisco. While Silicon Valley remains a high-tech fixture, Twitter, AirBNB, Task Rabbit and many others are moving into San Francisco, along with all the associated businesses that follow these companies. Thus,  San Francisco is seeing a huge increase in housing demand - in an already squeezed real estate market. With so many new employees seeking housing, it is no wonder that just over the Golden Gate Bridge, charming Mill Valley (nestled at the base of Mt.Tamalpais), is feeling the effects of a hot SF business...
