Two-mile homeless camp takes over in California’s posh Marin County — and tax dollars help fund it
NY Post ^ | 05/05/2023 | Stephanie Pagones

A two-mile strip of road in posh Marin County, California – which George Lucas, Tony Bennett and Robin Williams have all called home – has been overrun by a vagrant camp that has brought drugs and devastation to the area.

Binford Road in the city of Novato has devolved into a makeshift neighborhood of “tweakers” with hordes of people living apparently rent-free in a shabby collection of broken-down RVs and trailers parked at the side of the street.

The Post counted 71 vehicles during a recent visit, where locals blamed local authorities for encouraging the encampment in the area — and where homes cost a $1.3 million median price.

Kathy, who has lived in the neighborhood for 40 years, said: “I can’t park and move into a city street. Why are they letting them do that?”

What’s the problem? You told us we’d have nothing and like it. Anyway, the silicon lefties need a place for their maids and gardeners to live too, racists! /s

“California is making it easy on them and hard on us”
Ha hah hah. So sad, too bad, I’m glad. Reap the harvest of the seeds you have sown. Clueless Marin county leftist NIMBYs get what they deserve.

... and the DeSantis and Abbott airlifts haven’t even yet begun. Hopefully they will soon.

Perhaps Abbott and DeSantis could airlift some old rv’s and trailers too...you know, to help out.

Me, I would sue the locals for violating the EPA clean water act. We’re do you think their waste is going? Think they drive to a pump out station?

Kathy needs to think about the people she has been voting for, and see if there’s a connection between that and the homeless problems that she finds so vexing.

Bringing in 100,000 high tech workers, a year, from India is causing a lot of this. You are not allowed to talk about this.

I see a couple of full-size bus RVs there that cost in the neighborhood of $200,000 new.

I wanna see this mess to start appearing in Mill Valley!

No reason Novato gets to experience all of this on their own!

You may be asking just a bit much of Kathy to do that.
