I like Novato because you can still get some land there and get out beyond the fog line. I do have friends who live in Mill Valley and San Rafael who wouldn't be caught dead even looking in Novato even though they are stuck living in expensive little dumps where they do live. They have to live in the shadow of Mt. Tam or nothing. But this has been the story in Marin for many decades. You can't afford where you want to live and you don't want to live where you can afford. Tibiron used to be considered low rent like Novato and now it's down right chi chi. Anyone who homesteaded there, (horrors) building a new house is fat and happy now. A lot of people who live in the rest of Marin work in Novato. A reverse commute is a wonderful way to structure your life in the land of one Freeway. That said, most of the people I've met in Marin don't have to go to work!
