Your response: The city pushes for more urbanization in town with countless luxury high-rises built for our thousands of affluent students while homeowners don't always want that. Everyone says they want "affordable housing" in Ann Arbor but there is no good way to get it and almost everything that has been built in the last 10 years is market rate/high. Traffic and parking are huge problems because 80,000 people commute in here per day and it is only a city of 120,000 to begin with.
