there's a pretty strong pressure campaign on to delay and weaken land use reform in ann arbor. please sign this petition to remind the council that the YIMBY voters who elected them still want an affordable, growing, and diverse city. neighborspetition.org

I guess I'm supposed to like Tucker Carlson's "I'm confused" schtick better now that he's using it on Republicans? Meh.

This is the status quo. People can't afford to live here. If you want change, sign the petition at neighborspetition.org to urge the #a2council to adopt a land-use plan that promotes higher density and greater diversity in housing. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

Neighbors for More Neighbors A2 is a grassroots group of #AnnArbor residents in partnership with the Washtenaw Housing Alliance. Its mission is to stand up for secure, abundant homes for everyone in Ann Arbor. Add your voice in support of their work here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

How come nobody calls him Nemby?

Ann Arbor is facing a housing shortage that touches every corner of our community—from cost-burdened renters and priced-out middle-income families to seniors unable to downsize affordably. #A2Council

Oh it's Musk vs. Trump now? This is like Ohio State vs. Notre Dame. Can it end in a 0-0 tie?

I just signed this petition letting #A2Council know that I support the increased housing density and diversity being proposed in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan revisions for Ann Arbor forms.gle/QdQyhnKmgUQm...

If you support updating our zoning to include missing middle housing (think duplexes, triplexes, townhomes and small apartments) and to help Ann Arbor be more equitable, inclusive, affordable, and sustainable in the year 2050, please add your name to this petition: tinyurl.com/mprxua9s #A2Council

Is there such a thing as a four year continuing resolution?

#nba seems like the refs started out consciously trying not to give SHA those flop calls, but now they’ve changed their minds #WCF

one my least favorite aspects of modern life is being asked to rate everything I buy. an automated email just asked me to write a review of sphagnum moss.

The idea that people don't "deserve" health care, or food, or housing, because their papers are wrong or they don't have a job or they've used drugs or they are mentally ill or etc. is sickening. We need to show the human costs of these policies.
