Thanks for this report. I’ve lived just west of Sebastopol for over 15 years in retirement.

The suggested weirdness of west county seems in part based upon the lowest common denominator of maintenance and civic pride. We’re just returning from 6 weeks in New Zealand and wonder how villages there can be so clean and neat compared to west county; houses in good repair, pruned village trees and admirable public toilets, for example. Attitudes seem less miserly with long term, unified values.

West county leadership needs funding but could use inspiration by contemplating why people would like to visit TWICE.
