with mere days left in his term, the commissar of the Taylor machine continues to degrade the character of Ann Arbor. unforgivable.

Blimpy Burger is finally open again seven days a week, 11a-11p. Food is as I remember it: delicious. But they had the register at the very beginning, and you place your entire order all at once. I will miss bringing people here for their first time to see how they handle answering simple questions.

Yes, I know #AnnArbor is not New York City but.... #a2council... bsky.app/profile/samd...

it’s worth noting that Zohran has made major policy reforms to legalize development of more market rate housing. On the other hand, New York republicans are super NIMBY and want the government to regulate new housing out of existence with excessive red tape

Our local establishment of post-secondary education is advertising for a job to help the "Inclusive History Project" "engage the community to better understand the institution's full history, including its record of inclusion and exclusion." Low end of salary range? $55K. So you gotta live in Ypsi.

Pour one out for the Kline's lot. The Taylor machine, destroying Ann Arbor's heritage one surface lot at a time. Hopefully Yousef can restore our parking ecosystem to its former glory.

Got a push poll from Mike Rogers. “If Mike Rogers joined the DSA, would you vote for him?” “If Mike Rogers gave you a coupon for 15% off your groceries, would you vote for him?” 🤡 Mike there’s literally nothing you can do to get my vote.

Market research: What's the worse sin for a hypothetical political candidate for statewide office in Michigan? 1. Being a shill for fascists (my choice) 2. Living in a different state 3. Getting divorced by your wife for shtupping a lobbyist

Thinking about the sickness beneath the conventional wisdom on the Michigan senate race. GOP thinks Abdul is a weaker candidate — why is that? They’ve got their racism all teed up and ready to go, just waiting for the moment to come…

Is "time for a change" the most vapid political slogan/sentiment ever? "Kick the bums out"? Shoot even "Pause the Plan" at least had alliteration. #a2council

I can't think of a starker contrast or a better opportunity for leadership - on the one hand, people wanting to purely make money using a rare resource with little community benefit. On the other, people who need places to live. It's not rocket science, even if airbnb is lobbying you.

When asked for a response, the Taylor campaign sent a detailed plan for increasing housing in Ann Arbor which is much too boring and hard to read to post here. /end
