Marin County

Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Marin County is a collection of wealthy, wooded hamlets that tenuously hang by haute hippie roots as a more conservative tech-era population moves in. The ‘common’ folk here eat organic, vote Democrat and drive Teslas. Tons of old rock n'rollers, from members of the Grateful Dead to Metallica, reside in the hills and are testament to the county's wilder days of yore.
