2024 is coming in strong! Let's go! Backstory: We moved to Detroit in 2020 (for me it was a homecoming). However, what we were unprepared for were the city's air quality issues. Detroit is plagued by some of the most harmful and pervasive forms of air pollution, including particle pollution and ozone. This has resulted in high rates of asthma and other respiratory problems. The effect on me has been direct and personal. Within a year of living here, I began to suffer from heightened respiratory issues, such as increased congestion and sinus problems, and these have persisted. What we are doing about it: If you know me then you know I am a fierce advocate for Detroit. I sing the praises of this great city... and I'm also honest - and vocal and active - about where we need to do and be better. Air quality is one important area. We urgently need to increase green spaces and implement infrastructure that promotes cleaner air. Additionally, adopting pro-air quality policies and zoning regulations that safeguard and improve the health and well-being of both residents and visitors is crucial. That is why this year, as part of our neighborhood advocacy, we planted 130 trees in Hubbard Richard (with more to come) and also reached out to JustAir Solutions Darren Riley Sarah Craft to see what we could do to get better data through air quality monitoring. That initial conversation inspired a broader effort to launch an air quality pilot in Hubbard Richard, Corktown, and North Corktown where - in partnership with Michigan Central and others - we are taking a tri-neighborhood, system-level approach to improving our air quality. This begins by first getting accurate data (which JustAir will provide us through 6 air quality monitors, dispersed across the area) and leveraging that data to enhance awareness of air quality and propel solutions. Let's make Detroit the city with the best air quality in the world! On a higher level, this is an example for how you citizen: 1. Identify what you care about / what your community/neighborhood needs 2. Get involved in your community 3. Help identify and mobilize solutions for the thing you care about/what your community needs Reach out to me if you need a brainstorm/thought/idea partner on how to awaken and activate your citizen within.

Why I Invest in Cincinnati (And Why You Should Too)! I’m from California, but I just bought two quadplexes in Cincinnati. Here’s why: 1. Better Returns: Multi-family homes like quadplexes offer great cash-on-cash returns. 2. Booming Market: Cincinnati’s rental market is hot right now. 3. Midterm Rentals: With all the hospitals, midterm rentals are exploding. Got both properties for $190k, $100k in rehab, and expect to walk away with $110k profit. Cincinnati is where it’s at! 💸💸 #RealEstateInvesting #Cincinnati #Quadplex #MidtermRentals #InvestSmart #michelettimedia
