These multi-ton vanity projects chew up our infrastructure, ignore public safety, and put everyone else at risk just to satisfy a fragile ego.

This isn't a work truck, it's a security blanket.

This is what is giving me pause... even when the forecast indicates potential for severe weather and I go to bed with my phone volume all the way up, I've slept through it. Also, people who work outdoors and don't have phones on them due to company policy, personal preference, etc.

If this is how they’re talking publicly, imagine the private discussions.

Nice morning to walk down to City Hall and pull petitions to get on the ballot for August! I hope you'll join me tomorrow at 1p, Virginia Park, and help collect signatures. My birthday is Monday and it would be a real gift to turn these petitions back in to the clerk that day. #LFG #A2Council

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Quote from Governor Gretchen Whitmer's 2026 State of the State address: "Our laws have made it easy to expand suburbs but hard to build walkable downtowns and main streets or do more with your own property. It shouldn't be so hard to build the homes people need in the places where they want to live."

Gretchen Whitmer is on point: We need more homes and allowing more choices and more building will help get us there.

Adams noted the city has about 1,200 affordable housing units built or in the pipeline using money from the 20-year affordable housing millage city voters approved in 2020.

β€œThese two approaches β€” increasing market-rate supply as the plan recommends and the affordable housing subsidies that the city’s already doing β€” they’re complementary,” he said.

When housing stock is constrained by zoning, increasing market competition and prices, public dollars invested into affordable housing don’t go as far, Adams said.

β€œTo quote Ned Resnikoff of the Roosevelt Institute, market-rate housing is not an alternative to social policy,” he said. β€œIt’s a strategy for making social policy work the way we want.”

It's pretty gratifying to see a local planning official take up this point and run with it! www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...
