Hate Marin! Hate San Anselmo! - 5/9/2015
I've lived here for over forty five years and I can't wait to leave! The cost of living is ridiculous and, though the statistics about population growth always appear minimal, this is the place where you can spend half an hour stuck in an endless stream BMW RUVs, just trying to drive one mile. Marin is over priced and over privileged, sweltering under thick cloud of entitlement. Yes, there are or were some great things about Marin, the film festival, the mountain play, what remains of the open space, but you will pay for them in streets congested with children driving their brand new Mercedes convertibles three blocks to high school. Then be prepared for the "holier than thou" attitude of the throngs as they flock on their daily pilgrimage to Whole Foods. YUCK!

Beautiful, friendly town - cost of living is outra - 11/14/2008
We love, love, love San Anselmo. It has great schools, is very walkable/bikeable, is not a far walk or bike from that funky town of Fairfax, everyone is friendly! Very family oriented but also lots of empty nesters still about.
The drawback is that the commute on public transportation into the city (San Francisco) can be 1.5 hours - or you have to drive on the very crowded freeway for an hour (only 35 minutes to SF if there is no traffic). If you have a flexible work situation and make lots of money, this is a great place. But in order to afford it, many folks have to work long hours and commute a distance....not so

Considering first mortgage, second mortgage and property taxes, our housing cost is between $7,000 and $8,000 per month. That's a high percentage of our monthly income, and when we think about saving for retirement (which the high housing cost has made nearly impossible), it's not pretty
