Bryan Cody knows why a home here costs what it does — and what the City can actually do about it.
Bryan Cody has been a tenant, a homeowner, a landlord and a property manager in Grand Rapids. He knows what a home here costs from every side of the lease — the rent check, the mortgage, the repair bill — and he knows which levers the City actually holds.
He is a past president of the Heritage Hill Association, works with the Greater Regional Alliance of REALTORS and the Commercial Alliance of REALTORS, and is a Central Michigan University graduate.
Rent or mortgage, a home in the 2nd Ward costs more than it used to. Bryan has paid rent here, held a mortgage here and managed property here. He knows why a home costs what it does — and what the City can do about it.
Growth is good when the people who already live here see the benefit. Big projects should work for the neighborhood that's already there — not just for the people who arrive after.
Predictable. Clear. Accountable. A city commission that answers the phone — so a family, a landlord or a corner business can make a decision and count on it.
Three steps, ten minutes, and the 2nd Ward has a housing provider on the City Commission.
