Dick Spotswood: Marin Office of Education steps up for teacher housing bond

The Oak Hill Apartments’ controversy appears to be coming to a resolution. The brouhaha concerns proposed housing on 8.5 acres of surplus state land adjacent to San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in unincorporated Larkspur. The hillside site is delivered without cost to a governmental agency to develop homes for educators, county employees and low-income residents.

The idea is that with Marin’s astronomical residential real estate costs, subsidized workforce homes will aid schools and the county in retaining and recruiting employees.
