That seems particularly expensive for the somewhat out of the way location and mediocre quality of the building, I'd like to see what that unit looks like. I continue to be disappointed in this project overall, it's an example of what I don't want t…

I certainly wouldn't vote for him again but I don't see anyone on the local political scene that I'd like to see in the position either. My political views are complex, a heap civil libertarianism, a decent bit of economic conservatism and a good am…

Random question: Are any serious people behind the push to remove the mayor? I'm not a fan of Schor for his lackadaisical attitude and somewhat weak leadership but I hardly think that makes for grounds to push for resignation, I don't think any of t…

@MichMatters I considered going to one of those meetings, I wish I had. I thought it was discussed on here but I can't find it. I've always wanted to see Reutter Park become a well maintained formal park, there's many beautifully maintained examples…

@MichMatters I'm glad there's no ramp going there but if it remains a surface lot for decades then I'd rather have had the ramp. I can't imagine LCC using all the land they currently own anytime in the foreseeable future, I'd really like to see them…

That's "The Citadel", there's renderings and info in the Park Place West thread.

Yeah, I think there's a lot more work that could be getting done right now with minimal risk of increasing the rate of the virus' spread, if we have to go through this again in the fall they should have a much better idea as to which measures are ne…

Yeah, this will no doubt be a rough patch. I'm betting there will be a pretty strong boom when the smoke settles from all this though, the economy had remained surprising stable before this and now there will be stimulus money and low interest rates…

@Jared Thanks for looking into that, sucks it doesn't have anything built in. @gbinlansing I agree on the design, and it really doesn't take more than a box with good quality windows and authentic facade materials to make a nice building. If this…

Ah, good point. The whole coronavirus thing is barely getting started so if they're going to totally wait it out it's gonna be quite a while.
-
Good to hear. Any idea what the path forward is on this? It sounds like the kind of thing that will move very quick once MSUFCU owns the land.
-
Agreed. This turned out really good and I didn't even think they could make this building look decent at all. @Jared The more I look at the Metro Place apartments the more I realize even an abandoned YMCA building isn't that bad. I hope the apart…

I always appreciate hearing about little things also. I always liked the furthest south building on that block of Hosmer, I think it could make for a cool space. @Jared Does this forum software have a "like" function at all? I always found that…

I'm glad to see the planning board pushing LCC to put commercial space on the ground floor of their ramp, that would make it palatable for me. I've always liked the idea of LCC building some housing or partnering with someone to do so and I like the…

It's just so easy to use a car in Lansing, I'd never consider using mass transit here unless I had to. To me the solution is density. With increased density will come increased mass transit use, but without the density it's hard to justify a much mo…

I'm glad to see solar but I'm always much less excited to see it placed over green space. If they were going to take away green space I'd rather it be flat, boring farm land rather than the more unique area they chose. I kind of like the rolling pas…

All that makes a lot of sense. I've just about stopped going to QD, who ever is running it isn't too bright.
-
I like this, it will be nice to have something attractive on that corner and getting streetscaping will be a big plus. I like the overall design and if the quality is good, in particular if those upper floors are some sort of stone or even a nice ti…

We definitely need to pay for the roads somehow but I myself am skeptical of handing the state more money as are many others, that's what my whole rant is about. Whether it be a gas tax raise or whatever else I have little faith that the state would…

I've often wondered why we haven't seen more of those all in one paving milling machines, I have to assume there's a good reason they're not more popular. As far as a use tax on EVs, that sounds like a good idea at first but it'd be hard to do fairl…
