#A2Council Feels good that this entire city came together and said let's build the best library we can. Congrats @aadl.org

Last night, as planning commission dithered on how to guide zoning to mollify the Burns Park elite, across town folks were counting votes on the way to yet another pro-housing landslide.

We are begging #a2council: quit talking to your wealthy neighbors, grow a spine, and STEP ON THE GAS!

Oh and there it is folks, the Tombstone Piledriver!!

The people have spoken

Coming for ya NIMBYs

Sorry babe not tonight, LGC is giving me a fucking headache

Library Green Conspiracy thought they could shoot their whole wad on Lobbying instead of following their mission statement...

They didn't count on Nerd Vigilantes (TM)

"Unfuck the Center of the City" was my suggestion for Props A and B branding but they didn't go for it sadly

But wait! We can still write a better future on August 5th

#a2council

If Props A and B pass, the library will get to develop the lot nextdoor as part of a big exciting new venture.

If they don't pass, it will stay a small surface parking lot in perpetuity. It will never be a park, LGC has seen to that.

Summer summer time is really really hot Really really really really really hot

When you *definitely* run a legitimate nonprofit 501c3, and not a political ballot question committee subject to campaign finance disclosure.

Oh my God, he admit it!

Also if anyone ever wonders what "my dad bought me a bank" Ranzini looks like, this fascist guy is his younger doppelganger

When you definitely didn't promise to fund a public park and even if you did nobody heard you so it doesn't count

#a2council

Cowtowing to bad faith actors has never worked in the past But it might work for us...

Hope springs eternal, I guess, for the #a2council electeds when dealing with disinformation and bad faith actors.

Ayesha too

Jenn gets it

#a2council

Advocate for more housing please No, not like that!

Nice hearing tonight from so many new voices in support of housing. Well, it's nice as an advocate.

I don't know how nice it is for electeds who are walking back their campaign promises.

Alan Haber is a Holocaust denier

Actually had this one ready to go but looks like he's not on the list to speak tonight

Jesus famously came down and turned a duplex into a single family McMansion by right

#a2council needs to cave harder; these goalposts are bound to stop moving at some point

#NIMBYs

No no, we aren't pausing the plan, we are just on "aspiration hiatus"

This new #A2council comprehensive plan resolution talks a lot about being sensitive to "neighborhood context"

Haven't we heard a phrase like that used as justification to say no to development before...

Meanwhile Jenn Cornell out there just doing right, being a queen

We stan a legend

I hear the mayor is a big Coldplay fan

#A2Council

In this house we believe The bones are their money So are the worms They pull your hair Up but not out

Seeing a lot of interesting yard signs around Ann Arbor. A friend made this one, seems like it has broad appeal - we will be selling them at Art Fair at the secret spot

NIMBYs:
U need money for a park? : I sleep

U need money to block a building? : real shit

Finally, an #a2council tiktok that doesn’t come with a tinfoil hat! Vote YES on A&B on August 5th!

A down to earth UM booster and her partner, paid cash for their new home and cash for the new Wolverine quarterback

People of #a2council

Moved back recently after years away. Paid cash for their new home, demolishing it and constructing a new single family home big enough for 6 families, but by-right because it's just them.

Concerned about the kind of people new multifamily housing nearby might attract.

Her family has lived here for 150 years. Ann Arbor used to be a lovely city. She has grave concerns about the effect of the have-nots moving in and affecting her property values.

People of #a2council public comment

The concerned citizen who left her Pause-the-Plansion to voice her grave reservations:

Legit saw a NIMBY with a sign today, protesting how Ann Arbor was gentrifying. Nothing about Trump at all on their sign, just pause the plan shit.

There's brain worms of all different sorts aren't there

#a2council

Use genAI and give her a third elbow
