Mayor Lagrand On Housing (City Connection)

In the first City Connection episode of 2025 newly elected Mayor David Lagrand has a pointed discussion about housing as well as introducing his planned Mayor's Mondays community conversation events.

In a refreshing tern the mayor talks straightforwardly about the need for more housing across the entire range of the market, the inequality of Michigan's tax regime, and rebuffs the fetishization of ownership and "home owners" .

The housing conversation will continue on Monday, January 20th at Alger Middle School (921 Alger St NE) and on Monday, January 27th at Cesar Chavez Elementary School (1205 Grandville Ave SW). Both Mayor's Mondays events are 6:30pm - 8:00pm. While the conversations are rotating through the wards anyone is free to attend any conversation. Please consider attending to express your support for broad land-use reform, the elimination of parking requirements, and more housing.

Mayor's Mondays will have a website at some point, at this point the only online information appears to be a facebook page.
