I’d like to hear what you guys think about Ann Arbor and the area. Things I know: it’s a progressive town; it’s a college town obviously; crime rate is surprisingly low; has a progressive attitude toward Cannabis; and has Hash Bash. I know UM dominates the town but that the east and west parts of town are different as this is where the regular residents live(?).
I’d like to know about things like housing availability and rent and utility prices. A quick look and common sense tells me it is going to be pricey and scarce in the town proper. I’m wondering about living further out in the country to the west of town, outside of I-94, and west of US 23, if there are cheaper, older, decent places to rent out there, or even in suburbs farther out there.
Also interested in hearing about attitudes of landlords or rental property management people regarding growing small scale in the properties, just a couple of tents, nothing causing property damage of course.
What are opportunities like for recreation, e.g., walking the dog out in the country or at least in decent parks. Same question for exercising, e.g. running and cycling. Looks like there is a decent amount of public land northwest of AA, so that might be a decent spot to look for housing.
I’m assuming the cops are not so bad in Ann Arbor, and I’m guessing Washtenau County too, but what are the piggies like out in the areas I’m asking about? How difficult is it to get a mmj card in this area? Or is it even warranted?
I’ll appreciate anything and everything you can share. I’m sure I haven’t hit everything here. I just like to do my homework before I even think about applying for something. Many thanks
