Mill Valley is a perfect place to live and raise a family, if you don't mind a cost of living index of 233. Don't distress - go mountain biking or hiking with 360-degree views of the Pacific ocean and Bay

California Gold - 3/11/2008
The gold is going out, not coming in. This is one of the most expensive places in the U.S. to live. Even minor household items are greatly inflated.

Marin definately has all of these, but lacks diversity (both ethnically and socioeconomically). From my experience Mill Valley specifically has proven that the rich stay rich, and the poor must find elsewhere to
