North of the GG Bridge has great restaurants and plenty to do. More tech companies should move up there, I don't understand why they usually go south of SF. Also, real estate can be found that are still within a range middle class can afford.

Basically to work in Marin you have to live in Marin, so any company that moved there wouldn't be taking advantage of the SF/South Bay labor market. You're looking at closer to three hours depending on where you're coming from. There is a ferry from Larkspur but transit connectivity and parking are limited. The Tiburon and Sausalito ferries are worse.

Compared to what? A tear down in (an OK part of) San Rafael went for around $800,000 a few months ago. Marin is consistently one of the most expensive counties in the Bay Area and there's relatively little public transit and bridge toll to contend with. Marin is also strongly anti-development.
