Fair Housing Comes in All Shapes, Sizes and Effects Even the Most Affluent Counties!

.....like Marin county, CA.

Marin county and HUD have signed an agreement whereby Marin will reach out and attract minorities into the 80% White county and encourage more minorities to move into the VERY EXPENSIVE enclaves of Tiburon, Belvedere and Mill Valley.  HUD does not like where they are living now.

Marin is just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco * between San Francisco and Sonoma counties as one drives up US101 North out of the Bay Area.

Never mind that there are minorities in the immediate area/counties of Sonoma * I've lived there and rented to them * or Napa county * also lived there and rented to them * or Vallejo which is just over San Pablo Bay * yes there is another bay ABOVE San Francisco Bay.

Since Marin gets $1.7M in CDBG * Community Development Block Grant* funds and $1.2m from HOME to build and maintain low income housing, maybe it can CONDEMN part of George Lucas * Skywalker Ranch * and force him to give up the less desirable areas for low-income housing.

....or they can just not take the $3m from the government!
