Is this where three used to be a gas station as well? I remember a gas station on each corner years and years ago. I feel like they were both that sunken look. Seems like overkill on gas, but I guess there aren't a lot around there either.

My initial thought was that it's a good infill project and generally I'll support something that brings more non-low income residents downtown. I'm not trying to get into an affordable housing debate, but I think we need more housing type across th…

My big concern with another five/four over one is that Lansing really struggles to get the ground floor commercial filled in. I think they'd have that issue here as well. They'd be better off just doing an apartment building here and call it a day…

I do appreciate the discussion on this. I don't expect to change minds, I just like to share thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. Like I said, I've gone back and forth on this. I would be curious about the GM lots, but I'm sure they won't give the…

I think another part of my view on that data center @hood, is that I would prefer development be at parts of the city that will benefit it better. No one wants to be essentially in the median of a highway across from a Wendy's that employs private …

Honestly, the more I've heard on the data center, and discussions with an electrical engineer that does power distribution, the more I'm for it. Sure, it's not ideal but it's likely better than that spot is going to get for a long time, if not ever…

I'm not sure how I feel about the LHC buying the Washington Ave Apartments. I feel it deserves better, and deserves a thoughtful restoration...something I doubt LHC is going to do. I also don't think that's necessarily the demographic that the are…

I've got to admit, those buildings are looking better, and more durable, than the renderings. Really hoping the turn out okay. Much bigger presence in the area than I'd expected.

@hood, I just have to say, I'm right there with you on most of this regarding the homeless. I'm about as liberal as they come, and I still have those opinions. I'm not going to go quite as in depth on it, other than my surrounding groups think I'm…

I'd love to see MSU invest in downtown Lansing. I think its ridiculous some of the choices they've made. I find it hard to support them when they've constantly turned their back on downtown Lansing. An arena downtown would be great, and make sens…

The lack of trail etiquette is part of why I haven't been biking nearly as much as I used to. The transition to all these battery powered (and snall motor) options has made them miserable (for me). I couldn't agree more with your comments and idea…

My worry with this area is what happens when Cooley ends up shuttering and those massive buildings sit empty. Things haven't been great for them, and the reduction is already evident. With those big vacancies along with the enlarged homeless shelt…

Gentilozzi has his own car collection in a local former L&L...read an article on this awhile back, but they were very discreet on the actual location. Could it be his own collection he might be relocating and potentially opening to the public? …

The biggest thing I keep coming back to regarding the homeless, is why do they seem to have more freedoms, fewer rules and fewer answers to give than those of us paying taxes to the city. I used to have more empathy for the homeless, but seeing the…

Yeah...it sure seems that way. I tried reporting the problems on the Connect app and sure enough the city closed the report quickly, no comment and nothing was done. Can't believe it's so hard to get Schor voted out. Also, can't agree enough!…

I've got to agree with you, and sorry about your bike! I've been back to using the river trail more as well after not biking much for several years, and also have been concerned. I tend to get on at Kalamazoo downtown and just head over to Crego P…

Yet they're the ones who want to sue the LGBTQ homeless organizations for descrimination. If they weren't so actively promoting hate, that would be one thing. They are the ones who have started stirring the pot. Almost any article that dire…

The shelter does look nice, I just wish it weren't The Mission.

Yes, I've noticed the overall increase in the take over of public spaces. Likely a sign that we need more resources for them, but I wish we could do better than The Mission. The population in Lansing do seem to be less aggressive than places like …
