See the Exciting Happenings at Golden Gate Village!

As residents of Golden Gate Village in Marin City, California, we are compelled to voice our concerns. Our motivations stem from feeling abandoned by the very entities that profess to safeguard our welfare, specifically the Marin Housing Authority (MHA) and the Marin County Board of Supervisors (BOS). Their redevelopment narrative merely masks a troubling agenda of displacement. Years of willful neglect have left our living conditions deteriorating, with repair requests often ignored and our concerns overlooked. It is disheartening that they claim our homes are irreparable, pushing for demolition instead of restoration. The community’s well-being seems secondary to profit, particularly when juxtaposed against the diligent renovations of other historic structures like the Aspinall Federal Building. Our resident-led redevelopment proposal, aimed at preserving Golden Gate Village’s historic essence while modernizing it, continues to be dismissed. We are not just a statistic; we embody a legacy that deserves recognition and respect. Instead of being labeled as obstacles, we should be seen as part of the solution. As we stand united, we seek recognition, support, and investment in our community’s future. This fight is not just about buildings; it’s about belonging.
