Nothing will happen on this site until the City has moved off the site.

Right. Everyone wants it just not enough to do anything to achieve it. Our city has it as a goal but actively hinders it though policy. I think our desires are clear through our actions and our policy.

Grand Rapids doesn't want affordable housing.

Funny. I rode by yesterday morning and thought it was looking great.

It motivates me.

Jen Keesmaat in Toronto. They have the power.

That's the point. They have all the tools to solve those problems - right now.

Our current zoning ordinance is overly complex at best. These additions will only make it more complex to navigate and more difficult to achieve quality urban results. Nextly, I'm increasingly concerned about our decisions and attempts to manage social issues through our planning department through policy. The weed ordinance is another example. Our planning department should be working in our community to envision our future not being a cop for a (perceived) problem that doesn't solve itself through increasing land values. Then, we don't need the city to have more ways to hassel folks in our city. They have more than enough.

This is a really bad idea...

Hey, Ryan! We've been through this before, haven't we? There have been no changes to the Secretary's Standards since we did our project. You're wrong.

It's true.
