General Plan Working Groups may have "acknowledged that technology has influenced and changed the way the community works, shops and communicates" but they have not thought to ensure that first, the "community" must BE a community. A large collection of houses is not a community of itself, that is by merely existing; a larger habitation, above 2000, means less community. Go on up to 200,000 and you can never be a Community.

How far up the road to annihiliation do we have to go? To allow Mill Valley to get bigger would be ridiculous, would amount to less community, not more.

People cannot make, of a habitation exceeding certain numbers, a "Community'. Here, small is beautiful . Failure to make real communities produces big Cities with no sense of community. "LosAngelisation"

20,000 is about the ideal maximum population; thereafter expansion causes increasing loss of any sense of place, of community and exponential rise in social problems
Conclusion: Mill Valley is quite big enough as it is. More people or more jobs will be less happiness, less comfort, less relationship between people.
