A local conspiracy theorist made a video featuring me and my push for density in Ann Arbor. Not sure if I should be flattered or insulted—apparently, fighting for more housing means I’m part of some corrupt grand scheme. If only it were that organized… we might actually get more housing. #urbanism

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

DC-3 on tonight's Ann Arbor City Council agenda directs the administrator to develop a strategy for proactive enforcement of bike lane obstructions (parked cars, bins, etc.). This is great! I hope we see a similar resolution soon re: proactive enforcement of sidewalk snow/ice removal. #A2Council

Mayor Taylor's been getting some sass, Because planning has been a morass. Supporters feel ready For change, swift and steady. And the Jackals say "Step on the gas!" #a2council

In Ann Arbor you must shovel your walks Free salt/sand mix is provided at parks But the grit box is locked With an asinine slot Through which you must shovel your salt #A2Council

It’s important for #a2council to hear from residents who have struggled with high housing costs or had to settle for suboptimal living situations—like renting a closet—just to have a place to live. Ann Arbor needs more housing, and the comprehensive plan is the first step toward that goal.

I'm not sure if anyone here in #A2Council needs convincing on this point, but the study has impressive results. To improve quality of life and air quality in A2, we need to be working on a network of protected bike lanes.

Having some sort of pre-approved plan book like this for Ann Arbor would be great, #A2Council. Encourage and expedite the kind of development we want to see.

This is the type of stuff we need to allow throughout Ann Arbor with the update to the Comp Plan. #a2Council. We should probably do it in Ypsi too.

Hey, #A2Council and #A2Planning in particular, look what happens when you allow a variety of missing middle housing in neighborhoods!

I signed this petition requesting that Stadium Blvd in Ann Arbor be made safer. Our city has committed to Vision Zero, yet we're still so far from achieving it. Please consider signing: actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa... #a2council

The mayor of Windsor is vetoing the vote to save the tunnel bus that goes to Detroit. Last week, it was because he didn't want to let bus drivers have sick days. This week, he says he's trying to stick it to America in the trade war. windsorstar.com/news/local-n... #Windsor #WindsorON #Detroit

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The tunnel bus survived the first vote[1], but the mayor is considering a veto[2]. The bus was saved in a 7-4 vote[1]. We need 8 votes to save it from the veto. This would be a great time to write to your city council representative and tell them to save the bus. #Windsor #WindsorON #Detroit

#A2Council, East Lansing beat Ann Arbor in this list of affordable, walkable, and bikable college towns! 😭 In fact, our housing crisis and expensive housing excluded Ann Arbor from being included in @nerd4cities.bsky.social's list. We can do better! youtu.be/Fcn77OwF9XE?...
