I highly recommend living in an unincorporated area. My wife and I chose a similar location and have never regretted it.

Definitely. I used to own a house in another similar town (in the Bay Area, but not in Marin county) that was unincorporated for many years. Then the town incorporated, pushed by a few non native to California 'we know what's best' Harvard grads.

I said to myself, this is not going to end pretty, there is not enough sales tax revenue to fund services......fast forward to now. They are wondering how they are going to pay to repave many roads. I have a feeling the resolution will be a parcel tax levied against owners of any real property. I'm glad I sold that property

Each of our 50 states seems to have some part of the puzzle wrong. I don't know what the answer is. If each state could have the 'don't sweat the small stuff' attitude and part of the natural beauty of California, the academic results of some northeastern states, and nearly everything else about Texas, I would be happy. However, that combination is probably a pipe dream.
