Ann Arbor’s biggest problem with medical marijuana? Parking

Of course it would be the only thing standing in the way of Ann Arbor, the famously liberal college town that almost legalized weed in the ’60s and ’70s, and medical marijuana:

Even for some Ann Arbor residents, the city’s tacit acceptance started to give way to unease. As more and more dispensaries opened up, some residents started calling council members to complain about congested parking and busy traffic near pot shops.

So there you have it. I guess the only issue more controversial than pot is parking.

I still do most of the tweeting for Market Urbanism
