This is one of many ideas Michigan should adopt to make housing more affordable. It also allows more density, up to 4 to 6 stories, on more parcels while opening up more design options.
We should allow more diverse housing to be built to meet the needs of Michigan residents by passing HB 5570-5571.
Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
As the youngest Black person elected in Ann Arbor’s history, I carry the torch of those who paved the way. This Black History Month, I’m committed to honoring our past by fighting for a more equitable future. Let’s turn history into progress, together.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.
We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.
Don't watch the video unless you want to feel sick. But be very very angry because they executed a man who was just directing traffic.

But even if he was an asshole, no one should be executed by government thugs in the streets. There is no statute of limitations on murder so their day will come.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.

1. City traffic-deaths pitch hits a wall: Ann Arbor promised in 2021 it would eliminate serious injuries and deaths from traffic accidents by the end of 2025, aka next month, and instead the number of incidents so far this year has hit an eleven-year high. On November 19, Transportation Commission members eagerly awaited a year-end report and some promised new ideas, but transportation engineer Cynthia Redinger failed to impress. Her two big “asks” were for the commission’s support in a budget request to council for a driver-education campaign and to push for legal permission to set up red-light cameras and other “automated enforcement” techniques. Crashes In Ann Arbor author and safety advocate Peter Houk was especially dismayed, telling Redinger, “We have been trying unsuccessfully for a very long time to change driver behavior through driver education and messaging, and what we need to do is change our facilities to encourage drivers to interact in them the way we want them to. … We’re not going to get there by asking them nicely.” Council member Dharma Akmon tells a2view she’s also disappointed; she’s been pushing for quick-build traffic-slowing fixes like the recent redesign of Pauline Ave. Persuading Lansing lawmakers to reverse the current ban on automated enforcement — if it were likely to succeed, which she doubts — is not a fast-moving solution, she says.

The @annarborobserver.bsky.social newsletter had a decent summary of the dynamic at the #a2council Transportation Commission meeting last week (mailchi.mp/aaobserver/a... ).
But we need to take some time to talk in detail about why the city's presentation was so damaging and damning... (🧵)
I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

What’s up with this banner flying around the #BigHouse ?? “Read the A2 land use plan a2gov.org” Presumably not a city ad.

#AnnArbor our #A2ZERO plan states that new construction should not use natural gas for heating.
Ask Dick’s to help us meet our goals and switch to all-electric heat in their new A2 store! climateconcerneda2.good.do/DicksSportsN...

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.
