If you’re feeling overwhelmed, be like Milo. Release that stress and be free and agile enough to jump over a dachshund.

Loved cohosting an event for @cbhines586.bsky.social to help her win a seat in Congress. We need a deeply principled and effective former county prosecutor who led the charge on sexual assault and child abuse cases. Go, Christina!

Delighted to announce the Song Foundation’s grant of $300K in support of RX Kids launching in Ypsilanti. This public-private partnership shows how placed-based philanthropy can be responsive to local needs in a timely manner. Thanks to Dr. Mona and Ypsi’s leaders for showing us how it can be done.

Helped bring the Housing Innovation Roadtrip to Detroit with a stop for Lebanese manoush in Dearborn on the way back to Ann Arbor. Truly the best of the Midwest.

The Song Foundation convenes grantees every other year for what we call, “The Joy Report.” Instead of requiring elaborate reports, we invite grantees to a day of rest, reflection, and sharing with nonprofit leaders. This is what philanthropic partnership can look like with respect and care.

So proud of my friend Paul Fleming’s book! Added it to our office library, a fraction of the thousands of books we have at home. pjfleming.com/imaginebetter

It’s why when I was elected to City Council, I featured my friend’s artwork in our Zoom meetings. It shows the 14 year life expectancy difference between Ann Arbor and Ypsi+Ypsi Twp.

Did a thing here in my low-density city of Ann Arbor. Thanks for coming out and hearing me speak to how being neighborly can be anti-racist work, and how when we oppose density we oppose people we should know and care about.

Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation’s annual meeting with attendees telling it like it is, then my first State Land Bank Authority meeting in Lansing with a stop for Hmong sausages and Nepalese momo to bring back to Ann Arbor. Housing, housing, housing.

It was a good day in Detroit with solid policy nerds. So proud to have Abundant Housing Michigan featured as a Changemaker. And Kudos to Anika Goss for speaking to housing challenges tribal nations face in this state. She’s why I’m a Detroit Future City fangirl. And these slides from Up For Growth!🔥

The Abundance Conference’s cast of characters was similar to my 30th high school reunion. Nerds were alright, jocks less so, but we showed up because we have ideas about who we were, who we’ve become, & what the future can be like if we live to our next reunion. Off to NMAAHC to reset and remember.

Sharing how proud I am of #a2council on housing and the heavy lift ahead. Policy nerds unite! Abundance is the way!

Furthering urban planning dreams without actually getting another graduate degree. I told my kids this means I get to go to even more meetings with the nerdiest of nerds.

Bike paths, parklets, mixed mass timber buildings, and murals. Vancouverism is alive.

I scared the Uber driver when I yelled, “OMG, the towers!” So I biked back and paid my respect to Senakw. Later stopped by Lelem, also built by First Nations, with housing above retail, splash park, grocery, pharmacy, bistro, dentist, and Popeye’s. Housing and fried chicken happiness.

More insight into their programming, office space, and first floor retail. Staff shared there’s a DAYCARE ON SITE. Truly remarkable.

Vancouver’s downtown library just celebrated its 30th anniversary and is a testament to a city council’s vision. Staff told me it would never be built today. Green roof, performance spaces, retail shops with an updated children’s area coming this year. Inspiration for Ann Arbor. @aadl.org #a2council

Props AB passed but it took 13 years since losing the @aadl.org bond & 12 years to build housing at Veridian. Meanwhile, median home costs increased 4x inflation, rents up 2.5x inflation. Ann Arbor NIMBYs punish current and future generations with their cynicism. Keep rejecting that fear! #a2council
