We love our library in #annarbor! That’s why I voted YES on A and B this weekend - today’s your last chance to do the same!

Today in Ann Arbor we have the chance to support our beloved library by voting YES on proposals A&B. A bigger site will get us a better library and more housing, and finally put a desolate parking lot to good use. #a2council

We have the best public library. Please vote yes on Props A & B so we have enough room for a child to display a model of WTC-7 Γ  la www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjQ6...

A selfie taken outside the Westgate branch, next to a sign that says "VOTE EARLY! at Westgate Library". I have an "I Voted" sticker on my hoodie.

Listen, you do you. But maybe not as the former president of the Library Green Conservamcy while in a government meeting for a commission you’re serving on. These are not serious people. #a2council

Today's reminder that Library Green is an unserious organization run by unserious people. Prop A/B stand on their own merits, but anyone on the fence ought to shudder at the thought of giving LG another 5-10 years to cosplay fundraising and park planning. #a2council

Sadly, this beach community doesn't put its campaign finance docs online, so I was unable to learn more about the kind of people who would organize and fund a candidate committee to pay for signs like this.

Campaign yard sign. It reads:
SAVE OUR TOWN
SAY NO TO MARY HOSLEY
VOTE NO
Don’t let her bully us!
VOTE NO on Mary for Mayor
Paid for by: the committee To Save Our Town From Mary

Went to the beach. Took zero pictures of the beach. But I did make time to document this bonkers campaign sign! Wherever you are, local politics is never boring.

In 2018, we promised voters we would fund a park on the library lot without taxpayer dollars. Instead, we spent our 501c3's money on mailers opposing proposals that'd fund the park for free. Here's why it's everyone else's fault that the parking lot has remained desolate and uninviting. #a2council

A parking lot with a large cement planter full of  plants that are gone by, are invasive, or have died. In front of it is a dead tree.

Just saw all the cool events that @aadl.org has scheduled (in addition to the Summer Game!) and compared that to what the Center of the City/Commons group has going on. Seems as if they can’t even keep a planter looking good. Vote yes on A & B, for crying out loud. This is embarassing. #A2Council

As #A2Council CMs discussed back in April, public engagement process informed us that current Ann Arbor residents are more concerned about the form and mass of building structures than the number of people that live in a building. Regulating by unit density will have unintended consequences.

Photograph of two homes. One is a brick home with white trim and a front porch and the other is a blue with black trim. They are similar sizes but one contains only one home and the other has six!

Guess which of these houses wouldn’t be allowed in low rise residential under the resolution that #a2council is considering today? Check out the @moreneighborsa2.org Instagram for the answer!
