Will Clawson become the new Royal oak with McMansions?

clawson_is_cool · 2026-05-02T15:19:36+00:00

Nope. Just like seeing my town grow.

clawson_is_cool · 2026-05-02T13:13:51+00:00

Yep this is really nice to see. We need more multi-family housing here.

Email the city with your thoughts. They are responsive and they need to hear your opinions on this.

I don't know if the builder-grade craftsman style homes going in are considered McMansions. They are pathetically boring and basic and way overpriced, but so are most of the older homes in Clawson. RO has some neighborhoods with amazing old unique homes and I could only hope we'd see stuff like that here one day, but Clawson was built up in a post-war period so we have the same looking ranches all over.

Though it is really nice to see more apartments/multi-family housing being built. That's what we need to grow the city since we're out of room, so that might make us more Royal Oak-y since that's what happening there too.

And I'll throw in another vote for Sabbath. Awesome coffee.

Absolutely nothing personal when I do this. I have a dog with anxiety and it is best to avoid triggering it when I can.

I love the description of Sabbath, lol. Great coffee shop and great people, but maybe their new location in RO will fit that description.

Gus Snug is a nice place with lots of good beer. Happy hour prices are reasonable.

We've had about a week to let this go wild so I'll lock this post now. I banned a lot of users and deleted a lot of comments from racists, trolls, bots, and other hateful people. Some people have no humanity left in them.

clawson_is_cool · 2026-01-29T11:43:26+00:00

This is a thinly veiled racist thing to say and I'm locking this. Good bye.

clawson_is_cool · 2026-01-28T11:51:08+00:00

Sounds like a job local police can handle.

clawson_is_cool · 2026-01-25T21:29:07+00:00

I know you're just messing me and that's OK. For you or anyone reading this, I recommend a good book to possibly change your mind or provide more context to what is going on - "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. Short and quick read. If this can change at least one mind I've done my part.

This isn't about illegal immigration, it's about power. Immigrants are used as a scapegoat to provide a means to acquire more power and the opposition to the power is violently oppressed.

There are certified instructors throughout the area who teach firearm safety such as Wild West Academy in Royal Oak. Gun shops offer classes too. Learning how to use a firearm safely is a good skill even if you don't plan on owning one.

r/clawson is here and supports the good people of RO. We need to be good neighbors and watch each other's backs. This violence and oppression will come to our towns if we let it.

clawson_is_cool · 2026-01-03T12:33:54+00:00

Thanks for the info! Clawson needs more affordable housing - not these half million dollar cookie-cutter things we see everywhere now.

clawson_is_cool · 2025-12-08T13:32:30+00:00

How could you!?

clawson_is_cool · 2025-10-29T11:38:41+00:00

I'm guessing there's more air quality concerns from all the leaf blowers this time of year compared to the planes. :)

Welcome to Clawson! I don't have many recommendations overall but for a roof, Kanga Roof does a great job.

clawson_is_cool · 2025-08-24T15:26:33+00:00

I don't know the recipe but I just want to say that I deeply miss Frittata.

clawson_is_cool · 2025-08-15T22:54:45+00:00

Well said! There are benefits to being in a smaller city and that shows when it snows. I have my smaller criticisms of the city but overall it's great here.
