I find lost things, watch Ann Arbor City Council, and I like squirrels, tech, and city living. Change is fine. Primarily pedestrian.

And when you get your library card, you can get a “standard” card, or you can choose from several special cards (for free)! This is the one I choose.

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

I have so many pictures of this stupid site and they all look like even more boring versions of this nothingness. Your pic was when they were actually having an event and it is still terrible. I took this one a few weeks ago and the trees are dying.
A parking lot, in perpetuity. One sad tree in the front and two dying trees past it. Also some cars and a few small buildings on the periphery.

Huh, reading the new Ann Arbor Township Master Plan update (as one does), and came across this interesting tidbit. Looks like Ann Arbor building more does actually affect outlying areas! #A2Council
Text from Page 11 of the A2 Township Master Plan update that says that Ann Arbor building more densely has placed less demand on outlying townships.

My new obsession is micro-mobility at my local construction site. So many scooters and Onewheels and bikes of all kinds. When shifts change, it is an amazing array of HiVis clad riders heading past my house. It is fascinating. #A2Council
Lots of scooters and bikes parked outside a construction site.

You would think that a family who owns 7 houses in Ann Arbor worth $6,687,600 and who pay taxes on only $2,060,574 of that wouldn’t want to pause the Comp Plan, but, judging by their lawn signs, you would be wrong. #A2Council
An intersection in downtown Ann Arbor where two of the houses have “Pause the Plan” signs in their yards.

This where the actual zoning rules (setbacks, unit limits, etc.) would come in. Council is saying 3-stories would be the limit, which is about the same as a house can be now. Just instead of one large house, it could be 3 smaller condos or maybe a small apt. building like this one.
A 3-story brick apartment building next to 2, 2-story+attic houses. There are lots of trees.
