Oh man, what an incredibly massive world historical sized opportunity for the Dems to squander!

Can Social Housing Deliver? Los Angeles and Seattle Pursue Two Distinct Paths — Shelterforce
In recent years, Los Angeles and Seattle voters have approved major taxes to boost affordable housing using a “social housing” approach.

the absolute disappearance of democrats demanding any sort of proof of waste fraud and abuse before our safety net is decimated is what sticks in my craw - it's like magic words that disable any resistance and allow these unamerican fucks to do whatever they want

Agree, but they probably think that won’t go over with the average burns park homeowner Rabhi voter

I’m afraid they might pull our research funding because of the DEI-ness of a black QB throwing to a white WR.

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.

Take Ann Arbor off the list. The “socialist” here won with NIMBY votes and landlord money, promising to slow down growth. He’s not part of a leftward movement.

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.

How Yousef Rabhi won over voters to unseat Ann Arbor’s 12-year incumbent mayor
MLive/The Ann Arbor News interviewed several people who have Rabhi campaign signs in their yards. Most are longtime residents who said they don’t like the way the town has been changing and growing mo...

New football strategy- have our underachieving QB run every down till he gets injured, then put in the guy you really want to play- don’t front, you know you’re thinking it

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.

Love it when people see “DSA” and start talking shit. The truth is the people this guy thinks will be wringing their hands actually voted for Yousef because NIMBY! Read something before you post bro.

Maybe he’ll have a moment like Robert Redford’s character at the end of The Candidate: “What do we do now?”

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

He's been on bigger stages though. He was in Lansing for how long? I honestly don't get why he would want to be mayor of a town full of kvetchers like this one.

that's how it looks from where I sit - I can't speak for the DSA people of course - I generally sympathize with their positions, but I think they're misguided in this case

They mayor is actually very progressive. “Tax breaks for developers” seems to be the most substantial issue the DSA has with him. My theory is the main issue is that one of their own wants to be mayor.

If it happens, we better make them own it.

I mean, when you get tenure (or spend years chasing it) and your life is focused on your research, maybe distractions like non-PhDs needing places to live is lower priority?

Only in Ann Arbor can a DSA candidate be arguably to the right of an incumbent Democrat 😂

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…

I also fault the reporter for "he said, she said" coverage housing -- yes, "city officials say" they're on track to triple the number of affordable units -- it also happens to be true.

In which a 33-year homeowner says he's for more affordable housing but "thinks Taylor and the council have mostly just given tax breaks to rich developers for all those high rises." He "thinks" something and ignores actual facts, so will vote against something he says he wants. Make it make sense.

This piece mischaracterizes the Ann Arbor mayoral race. The incumbent has actually done more for affordable housing through dedicating underused city land and a local property tax that he championed than the DSA candidate is articulating in any policy statement.

Ann Abhor @annabhor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
I would like you to be careful about how you characterize the "center/left" rift in Ann Arbor. The mayoral challenger ostensibly to the left of the incumbent actually has been taking $$ from some people who are decidedly non-leftist.

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 to clarify the housing policy, a campaign spokesperson said, "Speaks for itself, the statement does."

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

"First... Ann Arbor.... then the..... WORLD!" said the selectively edited, purportedly authentic document. "This shows that the Taylor machine will not stop until it achieves total authority over everything," said "publisher" Plum Fresca. 2/3
