I grew up in and around San Rafael where he did some of his most important writing and went through possibly the darkest chapters of his life. I always thought there should be a statue of him there...

Also I just felt I should weigh in because of my username.

I just found the Berkeley Historical Plaque Project entry for PKD: [1]

Perhaps there could be something similar in San Rafel.
