YES AND: Build housing in the cities where people want to live, with good jobs and education, high quality of life, low crime, lower carbon emissions, a future climate refuge, a blue city in a swing state. #AnnArbor needs to do its part. #A2Council

In Detroit, President Obama just said that we need to build millions of homes in this country so that the generation that's coming up can afford to buy them just like their grandparents could.

Nikole Hannah-Jones’ writing published today is essential, and in the spirit of pinpointing overlapping structural policy failures that lead to unequal schools, I’ll say that with the right clarity of purpose, housing advocates have in zoning reform a powerful tool for longterm school integration

#a2council here are the our residential parcels by year of construction. This is an overcount because Ann Arbor has vacant parcels marked as residential instead of residential vacant. Ann Arbor builds little housing, and if we didn't build condos, Ann Arbor wouldn't build any housing at all

Ann Arbor is just building so little.
