    Digging into the new CEQA reforms: New California laws are intended to reduce obstacles to housing production

    ByCarmela Davis October 5, 2025October 5, 2025

    Entrenched opposition continues to hamper new housing development in Marin. Marin has a serious housing shortage. This housing shortage is not due to a shortage of land. Eighty-five per cent of our land is excluded from development due to open space designations or agricultural easements. But the remaining 15% provides plenty of land for increased housing development, by…

    Policy: Single Stair Buildings

    ByCarmela Davis May 22, 2025May 22, 2025

This makes small apartment buildings (4-6 stories or with small floor plates) very inefficient and expensive to build, as two exits requires a hallway through the building. This is a key reason why apartment buildings are…
