732 Lawrence is a beautiful 3,000 SF building with 6 homes. 1135 Martin is a beautiful 3,564 building with 1 home. The Lawrence six-plex is a great example of missing middle housing that fits right in with its neighborhood.

732 Lawrence is a beautiful 3,000 sq. ft. building with 6 homes. 1135 Martin is a beautiful 3,564 sq. ft. building with 1 home. Despite our housing crisis, only the single-unit home is allowed in most of A2.

Legalize missing middle homes that fit right in with their neighborhood.

The More Neighbors A2 coalition made a big impact at last night's #A2Council meeting. Council Members specifically addressed some of our concerns in revisions to the resolution and in their comments at the table. We will continue to fight for land use that is as inclusive and flexible as possible.

This image captures a row of newly constructed, modern townhouses featuring a cohesive design aesthetic under an overcast sky. The buildings are two stories, with a blend of dark gray and slate blue siding complemented by white trim around the windows and along the roofline. Each unit has a covered entrance, and several units display a small, inviting porch area. The townhouses are aligned in a straight row, showcasing symmetry and uniform landscaping. The fresh, manicured green lawn in front is divided by new concrete walkways that lead to each front door, contributing to the clean and orderly appearance of the neighborhood. Notably, there’s a drainage grate embedded in the walkway and a fire department connection (FDC) prominently displayed on one end of the building, indicating attention to safety and accessibility in the development's planning. The setting is serene, bordered by a line of young, planted trees and a backdrop of lush, mature trees behind the properties, suggesting a blend of urban and natural elements. This image portrays a modern housing development designed for aesthetic appeal and functional living.

I missed the ribbon cutting because of a Planning Commission meeting, but my heart is so full! I advocated for this housing 13 years ago. Grateful @avalonhousing.bsky.social is bringing 50 affordable units to our neighborhood & to welcome my new neighbors. #a2council

As the August 5th election nears, we've been getting a lot of questions from patrons who have heard or read false claims about Proposals A&B. So, we've put together this page with the false claims we've heard and the facts that refute them:

Judge's ruling means Charlottesville has no zoning laws whatsoever right now Without a valid zoning ordinance, city leaders have no legal tool to regulate land use or development — something they say they're working urgently to fix.

NIMBYs sue and win by default judgment, which invalidates the new zoning. Since the old zoning was repealed to accommodate the new rules, Charlottesville is now left with no zoning at all. #a2council 🤷🏾‍♂️

This design is already a failure, #A2Council. Many people spoke out against this bad design, and advocated for improvements, and were ignored. I hope Council will learn from their mistakes with that damn bridge.

Everyone who bikes or walks warned this would be a disaster—and now it is! Since everything is engineered for cars, the rest of us are left risking our lives just to move through our own city. The cyclist was hit in the crosswalk. Grateful they are still alive. #a2council

We Can't Let Fear Define Our Future Neighbors, When I ran for City Council in 2022, I made a commitment to support more housing and a future where Ann Arbor works for more people. Right now, we have a rare chance to follow through. The ...

Exactly the right leadership for this critical moment. Thank you, Councilmember Akmon! 🙏🏾 #a2council

It's done!! On a unanimous council vote, and after 6+ years, countless hours of public comment, and more than 40 community meetings...

...Berkeley has *officially* ended single-family only zoning and legalized multifamily housing citywide!!!

This is so on brand for Ann Arbor. More "Black Lives Matter" signs than actual Black people. I love it! 👇🏾 #a2council

My new favorite sign pairings in Ann Arbor are "Pause the Plan" signs next to "Black Lives Matter" signs. Exclusionary zoning practices have a long tie to racist policies and redlining.

(by favorite I mean the most enraging) #a2council

Hey 🏗️, Yesterday, I called & emailed a dormant trial user. This morning, she booked a 45-min demo, in the call committed to using CareNote in July.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

(Though honestly? Most days it feels more like something ventured, nothing gained — but not today.)

#buildinpublic

People don’t like to know that the home they love & have invested so much into is the result of racist land use policies—policies Ann Arbor explicitly endorsed, creating racial segregation that has benefited them. Acknowledging this is about telling the truth so we can build a more just future.

Alt-text: The image contains a flyer announcing a Resident Participation Meeting regarding a new property development. The flyer has a largely white background with blue headers reading "RESIDENT PARTICIPATION MEETING" and includes key details about the meeting set for June 25, 2025, at the Hampton Inn Arbor South. The project is described as a 61-unit family development located near the intersection of W. Eisenhower Pkwy. and S. Main St. in Ann Arbor. The flyer features an artistic rendering of a modern, multi-story residential building at the top right. Below is an aerial photograph showing the proposed project's location marked in red on a map of the surrounding area, which includes roads and green areas. Logos of Krieger Klatt Architects, United Hospitality Management, and Atwell appear at the bottom alongside contact information aimed at facilitating community engagement and feedback.

Last night at the citizen participation meeting for 2900 S. Main Street development, a neighbor said, “In 82 years, this is the worst city I’ve ever lived in. The Council & Planning Commission are a bunch of half-wits.” I was introduced as a CPC member: “Hi 👋🏾, I’m one of those half-wits.” #a2council

Hey 🏗️, today I’m calling ghost trial users 👻 — folks who signed up for CareNote but never did anything. I’m offering a live 1-on-1 demo to help them get started. Anyone else had luck reviving dormant trials after a personal touch? #buildinpublic

I’m so tempted!

The Ann Arbor chapter of Neighbors for More Neighbors just updated their site—it’s beautiful and full of great info on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, how to get involved, and why making room for more neighbors matters. #a2council

“Who will think of the trees?” a speaker asks tonight at #a2council
in a city that already has 1.5 million trees.

That feeling when you are in Costco’s checkout line with folks who don’t realize a Visa is needed, which they don’t have.

Yes. It’s so hard to fight it and offer counter-narratives, because as dads, we’re no longer their primary authoritative interpreters as coaches, teachers, friends, and YouTube start to replace us.

This image displays a user interface of a dashboard titled "Your CareNote Trial Journey Continues!" highlighted across the top of the screen. The dashboard is neat and user-friendly, offering three main options on a light background. On the left, a box titled "Success Stories" with an icon resembling a building and a button below that reads "Read Case Studies." This box is shaded in a light blue. In the middle, a box titled "Double Your Trial Time" features a prominent green circle with a check mark and includes an invitation to "Add a credit card now to extend your trial to 30 days - no charge until your trial ends," paired with an "Extend Trial" button. The rightmost box, shaded in purple, is labelled "Organize Ministry Teams" and includes a graphic of three people. It offers a feature to "Create care groups to coordinate your ministry teams more effectively," with a "Setup Groups" button. All throughout, the dashboard maintains a professional and inviting look with clear, easy-to-read text and supportive icons that enhance the overall functionality and appeal.

This image depicts a user interface titled "Dashboard" for managing a service called CareNote. The top section features a heading that reads "Let's Continue Your CareNote Journey," accompanied by text explaining that the free trial has ended and provides options to proceed with the service. There are two distinct action boxes. The left box, with a green highlight and a check mark icon, is labeled "Start Using CareNote Today" and invites the user to add a credit card to continue using the service with the possibility to cancel anytime within the first 30 days, featuring a green button labeled "Add Payment Method". The right box, with a blue highlight and a calendar icon, is labeled "Need More Time to Evaluate?" below which is a proposition to schedule a personalized demo to explore advanced features, accompanied by a blue button that says "Schedule a Demo." The overall layout is clean and uses a minimalistic color scheme primarily of green, blue, and gray tones against a white background.

Working on trial conversions for CareNote. Should I extend the trial 14 more days when they add a credit card, or offer the extension after a 1-on-1 demo? 🤔 These new dashboard prompts aim to help folks choose their next step. Thoughts? #buildinpublic

Just finished my first sponsored podcast with a vertical in the pastoral care space. It was a great conversation. I’m looking forward to engaging this vertical and telling the CareNote story to this audience. #buildinpublic

I shouldn’t be, but I’m still surprised by how little we’ve learned from the height of the pandemic. If you’re sick—especially if you’re actively coughing—please wear a mask, stay home if you can, or work outside. It’s just kindness.

I wish more devs had a way to trade backlinks without it feeling spammy. Thinking of a simple /indie-hacker page—like a developer spotlight. You feature your project + a peer’s. They do the same. Stories, links, good vibes. Thoughts?

This is fantastic! Please sign this petition to support density and diversity in Ann Arbor! Remember, Density is fun!

And just how did the City Administrator lower property taxes in next year’s budget?

Developments like 721 S Forest. Before redevelopment: ~$105K in property taxes. After: projected ~$1.29M/year.

That’s a 12x jump—funding services while easing the burden on everyone else. #a2council
