Personally I voted for Bob Barr (Libertarian), and I voted yes on every proposal. I almost voted for Obama, but I disagree with a few very important things, and I had already decided to never vote for a Republican, and only vote for a Democrat when no decent Libertarian or Independent is running.

Just FYI, I enjoy discussing politics, so please feel free to post your opinion and (civilly) criticize mine.]]> https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/97/biking-in-the-lansing-area Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:43:41 +0000 Off-Topic rooor 97@/discussions/index.php?p=/discussions
So, I'm curious -- how many others on this site utilize a bicycle as a primary form of transportation? Where's your favorite place to bike? What are some of the major obstacles you face or perceive? How would you make Lansing more bike-friendly?

(Topic Disclaimer: although this isn't related to a specific development, I do think it's related to the social / cultural movement back to city centers and urbanity that we're seeing here in Lansing and elsewhere in the U.S.)]]> https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/93/goal-of-this-website Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:18:36 +0000 Off-Topic UptownBrown 93@/discussions/index.php?p=/discussions
I was wondering what the goal, of this site is, besides simply posting about development news. Are you looking to grow and add members? Market the site? Become a resource for people in the economic development field? To be sure, I really like this site and would like to help it reach whatever goals deemed adequate.

Personally, I am the former executive director of Reo Town and know several of the people whose projects are discussed in these forums and I think that they would be very interested in the conversations and information posted here. I guess I see this as a resource for the powers that be to ponder the public opinion of projects, in discussions that are handled in a very professional manner. I am willing to encourage my colleagues to check out this site, if it is cool with the administrators here.

I dont want to do anything without approval first.]]> https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/53/new-users-introduce-yourself Tue, 08 May 2007 16:40:06 +0000 Off-Topic Jared 53@/discussions/index.php?p=/discussions https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/89/ill-keep-in-touch Fri, 09 May 2008 12:54:26 +0000 Off-Topic mindbender 89@/discussions/index.php?p=/discussions https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/index.php?p=/discussion/39/metro-lansing-transit-thread Mon, 15 Jan 2007 22:49:35 +0000 Off-Topic Jared 39@/discussions/index.php?p=/discussions
