Marin Voice: Inclusionary zoning won’t solve affordable housing shortage

Over the past months, we at the Marin Environmental Housing Collaborative have talked to thousands of residents about the need for more affordable housing.

Thankfully, most people we meet overwhelmingly support our mission. However, the question of how we should fund these homes sometimes inspires more conversation. While we stress Marin’s desperate need for more funding, some residents argue that developers have a responsibility to pay for new affordable housing.

As it turns out, Marin County does require this.
