Bring it on you fucks. #A2Council

Ah, so now he’s f*cking an Ottoman too

This #annarbor housing affordability event is free and open to the public. #A2Council

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Ann Arbor mentioned! #A2Council #AnnArbor

What does it take to build affordable housing in a city like Ann Arbor? Join us next Sunday to hear from Jennifer Hall. It will be a great time to socialize with neighbors and #A2Council candidates. Optional RSVP form will send you a reminder: actionnetwork.org/events/more-...

Beloved local businesses don’t count because they are for the “chattering class” and the owners are probably “those Park Slope kind of people”. #A2Council #AnnArbor

Why do alphabetical thesauri exist? The thing that makes a thesaurus useful is the whole organized words by meaning reverse dictionary thing.

oh this shit rips

"Ann Arbor needs to start planning for its future." - Erich Z., nurse and Ward 2 resident in support of Ann Arbor's Comprehensive Land Use Plan and rezoning

There is now a website for the effort to save the AAATA Route 30 bus in Scio Township west of Ann Arbor along Jackson Rd. to the Meijer’s, IHA and Michigan Medicine West Arbor campuses, Alpha House, and many homes and businesses. #AnnArbor #A2Council #Scio www.savethe30.com

Saw an old interview with Frank Herbert who said “I don’t think that the old saw about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely is accurate. I think power attracts the corruptible” and, yeah, that.

Oh for fuck's sake.

so much of anti-housing politics is pure aestheticism. it fits a certain archetype of activism to be positioned against “developers.” the facts on the ground do not matter.

Ann Arbor passed a new comprehensive land use plan that would legalize triplexes across the city and effective end exclusionary single family zoning. The things that people have been saying in opposition have been frustrating but sometimes they’ve also been insulting and awful. #a2council

We won. Thank you to everyone who made it happen! Take a breath, rest, and get ready for rezoning and more ways to support our community. #A2Council #annarbor #michigan #housing #sustainability #affordability #equity #planning #landuse

#A2Council Petition to support the excellent housing bills in Lansing. Go sign! c.org/nZNzBmcSNK

Caller using housing market as “musical chairs” to argue against passing Ann Arbor’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan clearly has not seen this video: youtu.be/EQGQU0T6NBc?... #A2Council

#A2Council the fix is in!

This recent MLive report highlights a stark divide in life expectancy and opportunity across our city. This should be a call to action. As #A2Council votes on the Comprehensive Plan tonight, we must recognize that zip codes should not determine destiny. Every neighbor deserves a stable home. 🧵

JustWild Shit #A2Council. From an All-star contributor at that. There really are some weird corners of the Internet.

There are some common lies used in Ann Arbor to oppose Vision Zero improvements. This 🧵 will attempt to provide some articles that debunk them. #VisionZero #AnnArbor #A2Council

We make advocacy fun and easy. Anyone can send a quick message to #A2Council through our email campaign, even if you can't make a comment on Monday night. It only takes a couple of minutes. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Cmon #a2council, we can design better roads and housing by not basing them off of unnecessarily large fire trucks. As usual, the answers exist across the pond.

16 years ago, Ann Arbor City Council failed to approve The Moravian, a five-story apartment building well south of downtown. It would have been near South Main Market and other 1-3 story buildings, across from a lumberyard. #A2Council

Whenever I hear people in front of Planning Commission complaining that the Comp Plan does not sufficiently center Historic Preservation or whatever this is the kind of clown show I think of. We need housing. Not dilapidated shacks that have no higher or better use than a storage shed.

Michigan is short 195,462 housing units for extremely low-income renters. Nearly 310,000 MI households are considered extremely low-income. "Wages haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of everything. And [...]housing is becoming much more expensive to build.” #A2Council #moreneighborsA2

Scio Township is considering cutting funding for the AAATA Route 30 bus that runs out Jackson Rd to the Zeeb Rd Meijer’s. #A2Council #AnnArbor More info on Nextdoor: nextdoor.com/p/fTjkqmD4QC...

Ann Arbor bus riders: Stay informed! The Blake Transit Center is temporarily closing starting May 3, 2026 due to planned construction on 4th Ave. downtown Ann Arbor. Boarding locations will be moved to 5th & Washington. Keep on top of updates at: TheRide.org/BTC

A use for analog clocks: A nice minimalist clock face with little dashes instead of numbers. It has two hanging holes in the back, so for daylight savings time you just switch holes.

Spring forward... Fall back... whatever. Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰

Time is so fake, “oh we added more daylight” no you didn’t, daylight is portioned by the cosmos repent of your hubris

Michigan: can we please just pick one arbitrary time offset and stick with it? I do not care which particular offset is “better”. Time is an illusion. YOU PEOPLE arguing about “summer time is better” or “no it isn’t, you ninnies!” are why we still do this. Flip a coin! Compromise on halfway between!

Hey #A2council friends, housing matters for teens and young adults too. Come support the organization that makes it happen in Washtenaw County. All the cool kids will be there, you should join us.

I wonder if @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov think this is acceptable for a senate-confirmed position. If not, they obviously shouldn't vote for confirmation. If yes, why haven't they offered to fight the majority leader yet?

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

You love to see it #A2Council.

#A2Council, when can we get Ann Arbor off of X?

AAPS can't get their act together to pay their teachers fairly. And now school-level admin is asking for parents to be scabs during contract negotiations. We need solidarity with teachers, don't do this. #a2schools #a2boardofed #a2council

Our current building codes aren't working well. Single stair reform would allow safe, more affordable, better ventilated small and mid-rise buildings in the places where they fit. www.pew.org/en/research-...

Single Stair Reform in Michigan is sorely needed. #A2Council

Check out this wonderful blast-from-the-past song about riding your bike and taking the bus in Ann Arbor! This is gonna be playing on repeat in our heads for the next month. Shout out to @kirkwestphal.bsky.social for putting it together. #A2Council #AnnArbor #Transit #BikeSky

Even though I keep hearing that City Council is a "machine" that votes in lockstep, according to data analysis, Ann Arbor’s council has the highest dissent rate in America. Seventeen years of voting data across 142 cities explain why. #A2Council Really interesting read. Highly recommend.

Every political discussion in Ann Arbor feels like this. #a2council

Great news! Nice to see some affordable housing being added to our downtown. Great example of a community-led, city funded development. Onward to the Y-Lot at 350 S Fifth! #A2Council

Gretchen Whitmer is on point: We need more homes and allowing more choices and more building will help get us there. @abundanthousingmi.bsky.social #a2council #shareourcity #neighborsformoreneighbors #annarbor #a2 #michigan

🧵 Living in Michigan, if a political issue seems frustratingly impossible to advance, you can almost always find the roots in policies motivated by racial and economic segregation. When you scrape back the "housing theory of everything" you find racism and classism under the hood.

Residential protectionism reigns, only "major streets" will get upzoned. Sadly the unwashed masses won't get gas fireplaces either. Tho I do low-key love the idea that #a2council might protect Burns Park from upzoning only for the state to do an end-around and eliminate lot size restrictions.
