“Chelsea (like Dexter) is becoming a magnet town for Ann Arbor people (and in Chelsea’s case Hollywood wannabes.)”
I moved to Chelsea 12 years ago from Scio Twp. following a divorce. I like the “small town” feel of Chelsea - population is still under 10k. But over the years I’ve become more aware of the local liberal mindset - quite a number of “academe” types have settled here. The DDA now has the screwy idea to “redevelop” a parking lot into a community “plaza” (Ann Arbor-izing downtown), and very few have the guts to speak up and oppose it. Hopefully, my next and final move will be far away from Washtenaw County.
After I no longer commuted to A2, I had enough of the county and moved to the Livingston County side of Milford. It was nice when I looked at the ballot and saw a lot of positions where democrats didn't even have candidates. The only downside politically is that I couldn't vote for Tim Walberg anymore.
