درباره این اپیزود
This episode is a special one for a lot of reasons: On March 10th, along with my cohost Jess Letaw, we did our first-ever live recording, and it was so much fun. We were joined by friend of the pod and Jess’s frequent collaborator, Yodit Mesfin Johnson, and we were hosted by the University of Michigan’s Ginsberg Center, surrounded by our neighbors from Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, and the University. Many thanks to everyone who came out and everyone who helped make it possible.
We talked about Ann Arbor’s current comprehensive land use plan update and the process that got us there; Jess and Yodit’s recent Liberated Land Use project, which they developed in direct response to the comprehensive plan process; and different ways for community members to get informed and get involved around local land use justice. If you missed this one, I think we’re all pretty convinced we want to do it again, so you will have other chances. In the meantime, here’s a recording of our first live episode.
Update
Ann Arbor City Council adopted the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan at their March 16, 2026 meeting.
