Ann Arbor housing inequality

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This appears to be an essay which has been created by synthesis. Synthesis is discouraged as it is a form of original research and essays fall under what Wikipedia is not. There does not appear to have been a major conversation about housing inequality in Ann Arbor more so than there has been in other locations, as is evidenced by the lack of such debates in reliable sources. Eleven out of the fourteen sources (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) are just run-of-the-mill documents ranging from demographic statistic dumps to visa information to lists of student accommodation prices. The remaining three sources are a local newspaper discussing house prices (5), a local news story about a plan to attract 3,000 immigrants (13), and a community pressure group (14). It's important to note that these three sources were all published in June 2017 and there has been no coverage of the matter since then. This event likely fails event notability guidelines, and certainly shouldn't be used to prop up an essay about the underlying issue, which appears to not be notable enough for its own article.
