Hurray for Ferndale! Duplexes are allowed by right citywide! Triplexes and quadplexes are allowed by special land use in the lowest density districts (R1). This is a big win for housing abundance and affordability!

Many claim reducing or eliminating parking minimums will destroy businesses, but here, a reduction in parking space requirements has helped to create one.

“No single legislative action did more to contribute to housing creation than the elimination of parking minimums.”

Tonight’s special master plan meeting was much more sparsely attended than last night’s and much more evenly split between supporters and opponents of the plan. It was so awesome to hear so many people saying YES to housing in Royal Oak. THANK YOU!

[YIMBY Oakland County @YIMBYOCMI]

@hellssbells We didn’t, and I am not sure the context in which these were distributed. Because we support the plan, my tendency is to let it speak for itself. But we are more prepared tonight (signs, stickers)!

[YIMBY Oakland County @YIMBYOCMI]

This is what we're up against in Royal Oak 🙄 Please come speak up for housing and support the master plan draft in RO! Tonight and tomorrow, both 6pm @ RO City Hall.

[YIMBY Oakland County @YIMBYOCMI]

I wanted to stand up and clap! 👏

Here’s the full response to a town hall question about why the Master Plan is considering young people, from Planning Comission member and former mayor Jim Ellison, which I edited for clarity:

We'll be out there again tonight supporting the plan (6pm RO City Hall). Please join us to give a public comment! I'll give you a sticker!
