Nikole Hannah-Jones’ writing published today is essential, and in the spirit of pinpointing overlapping structural policy failures that lead to unequal schools, I’ll say that with the right clarity of purpose, housing advocates have in zoning reform a powerful tool for longterm school integration

Incidentally, I was hit by a car for the first time (fortunately no injury) in downtown Ann Arbor in February 2025 -- interesting to see the experience validated in data.

#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
