The Great Affordable Housing Slogan Contest

The first ten minutes of each Mill Valley Affordable Housing Committee meeting during the past year was spent on what message to put on this year's Memorial Day float, one that spoke to everyone in the town. The winners were:

2nd Runner Up
This town is way to hot to waste on just 13,500 people.

1st Runner Up
Check 1.
O Here to care about one another? OR
O I've Got Mine! What do I care about anything?

The Winner

Local includes our workers and seniors.

Workers are work force and all others who choose to both live and work in the town.
Seniors are our elderly finishing their days where people know their name in a town geared to their needs
Local is everyone else in town. Though many will like it, others will be silently hysterical that this is the flip side to the gated community they so much yearn for.

Implemented, this protocol will mirror settlement patterns of our founding period when ALL trips were on foot or wagon making great distances between social classes impossible and we were all in it together. Sustainable's call for income inclusivity is, again, not out of sentiment but necessity to prevent sea rise and the air becoming hot to the touch. This slogan has two distinct benefits:
- Response robs opposition's time to spew their position.
- Silent dismissal leads to discovering ever more reasons why cheek and jowl is better than gated community.
