We won. Thank you to everyone who made it happen! Take a breath, rest, and get ready for rezoning and more ways to support our community. #A2Council #annarbor #michigan #housing #sustainability #affordability #equity #planning #landuse

More Neighbors A2 is incredibly happy to see the comprehensive land use plan be approved by city council. We want to thank everyone for their support - whether you sent emails, made public comment, or cheered others on.

Ann Arbor has a vision to provide more housing for more neighbors.

Now, let's get to zoning.

On his 1st day in office, Mamdani visited a rundown apartment complex owned by a corporate landlord to declare, “We will stand up on behalf of the tenants of this city.” Weeks later, Mamdani joined Hochul to call for state reforms contending that building more would slow the growth of rent.

From the Politico article:
"On his first day in office, Mamdani visited a rundown apartment complex owned by a bankrupt corporate landlord to declare, “We will stand up on behalf of the tenants of this city.” Weeks later, Mamdani joined Gov. Kathy Hochul to call for reforms to the state’s environmental laws, contending that building more would slow the growth of rent."

NYT: What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about? Mamdani: "The role of the private market in housing construction." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/n...

From a NYTimes interview with Zohran Mamdani in June 2025:

What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about?
The role of the private market in housing construction.

How so?
I clearly recognize now that there is a very important role to be played, and one that city government must facilitate through the increasing of density around mass transit hubs, the ending of the requirement to build parking lots, as well as the need to up-zone neighborhoods that have historically not contributed to affordable housing production — namely, wealthier neighborhoods.

I think all these things, in tandem with a muscular role for the public sector. But that is a changing opinion over time that I’ve been in office.

Gretchen Whitmer is on point: We need more homes and allowing more choices and more building will help get us there. @abundanthousingmi.bsky.social #a2council #shareourcity #neighborsformoreneighbors #annarbor #a2 #michigan

Quote from Governor Gretchen Whitmer's 2026 State of the State address: "Our laws have made it easy to expand suburbs but hard to build walkable downtowns and main streets or do more with your own property. It shouldn't be so hard to build the homes people need in the places where they want to live."

Today’s Planning Commission vote is a major milestone for our city and for the residents who have long advocated for more affordable housing and smarter growth. This land use plan will help create walkable neighborhoods, expand housing options, and strengthen our local economy.

More Neighbors A2 has worked alongside community members and city leaders to advance these policies, and we’re grateful to the Planning Commission for listening to residents. We look forward to supporting strong implementation so this vision becomes reality.

Tonight at 5:30, Planning will hear A LOT of comments, many with erroneous talking points. What will matter more is new commenters sharing their stories and priorities. Tell them why we need neighborhoods with more housing options and mixed uses. We can help you - just ask. #A2Council
