Disappointing news from Royal Oak. The city’s Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) blocked a 45-unit guaranteed affordable housing development in downtown by denying a parking variance. This leaves an existing surface parking lot in place. This is exactly how the housing crisis gets perpetuated.

"Evidence shows that walkable communities are good for disabled people—even beyond simply letting them enjoy the considerable benefits of being outdoors."
