Ann Arbor officials have OK’d tax breaks for a large affordable housing development on the city’s west side.

#a2council here are the our residential parcels by year of construction. This is an overcount because Ann Arbor has vacant parcels marked as residential instead of residential vacant. Ann Arbor builds little housing, and if we didn't build condos, Ann Arbor wouldn't build any housing at all

Ann Arbor is just building so little.

Right near our neighborhood - love to see it!

Read the gift link below! We agree! Per the chart, Ann Arbor MSA is close to the median price-income ratio (4.9x) and produces less than the median number of housing units. Note that the city of Ann Arbor has a lower median income and higher median housing cost than the MSA. #A2Council

Fighters for the working class in our community must fight for more housing units - even market-rate units. Rents in Class C rentals in 2025 dropped almost 10% due to a surge in Class A rental supply in 2024. bsky.app/profile/more...

#A2Council content. I am still perplexed by some mansion owners backing some DSA candidates. I hope DSA candidates vocally oppose exclusionary zoning and fight for more affordable housing of all types. We need all hands on deck! @moreneighborsa2.org

Food for thought #A2Council

Star:Line Chicago@starlinechicago.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Riffing on this: if you assume your neighbor’s house would become an 8-flat the moment it hits the market, you’re implicitly concurring that the housing shortage is real and that your local municipality is actively suppressing the market through restrictive zoning

Urban Truth Collective@urbantruth.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Here’s one that’s really important to understand and remember, especially if you work in a city hall — the best transportation plan is a great land-use plan. #UrbanTruth

I just wrote a letter asking Planning Commission to implement rezoning with the urgency that our housing shortage deserves. It took less than a minute. Write yours here: actionnetwork.org/letters/2026... #A2Council

Tell Planning Commission to Get Started

Planning Commission will consider a resolution to start implementing the Comprehensive Plan with zoning changes. As a first step, it calls for the commission to immediately start creating 1-2 new zoning districts for the Hub category and the Transition areas that surround Hub. The resolution asks staff to model the zoning changes on proposals made by members of the More Neighbors policy committee. This resolution is important for two reasons: Speed. It would direct planning staff to immediately begin implementing the comprehensive plan with broad reforms, rather than rezone a few small areas at a time at a slow pace. Quality of Reforms. By directing staff to model the reforms on the More Neighbors proposals, the resolution helps ensure that the new zoning districts will remove barriers to housing construction rather than add new ones.
