I don't know, the last time CADL put up a millage for capitol improvements it failed. That was 2008 though and times are much different.

Regarding the new arena in Kalamazoo: First, I fundamentally disagree that Kalamazoo is better positioned to host events/conventions than Lansing. The Lansing area itself is larger, our local university is larger, we're better geographically positio…

I could not agree more. I was unaware that the tax was currently producing that much revenue much less where it was going. I'd like to see something like 70%-80% of the expanded revenue go to bonding out capital improvements. The higher rate would r…

City Pulse also has another article: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/cadl-pledges-to-keep-a-strong-downtown-presence-as-pressure-grows-to-stay-put,113221 None of the language used by CADL officials has been promising. What I see quoted i…

I still find it hard to believe that Gentilozzi would leave all the free money on the table and I'd be surprised if that money couldn't make financing the project relatively easy. It'd be nice to know what's going on, but there's a lot of projects h…

Good to hear that it's moving forward, I had been wondering about this. I'm still curious as to the cost/scale of it. It reminds of BWL's plans to move their operations to the GM sites on the west side that seems to have stalled.

It's revolting to see that satellite view cropped like that, it makes it impossible to ignore how horrible of a use of land it is. I honestly couldn't get behind a pole barn anywhere in front of the church, especially near the street, under any c…

A small update on EL's Evergreen properties, they have selected the firm to represent the property (Savills) and set an asking price, $4.435m, they make it clear that they do no necessarily expect to get that price. It's always seemed implied that t…

This is exactly the kind of little negative thing that I've seen too much of in this city in recent years, it's part of why I feel so torn on this city's future. If this kind of stuff is making to committee I can only imagine the other kinds of mist…

I agree. If they need more space, acquire the necessary land to build an addition on the south side of the building. If they have to close completely for a year or two for a full renovation then so be it. I'm not willing to vote for the likely $50+ …

CADL is apparently contemplating a move again: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/cadl-move-from-capital-avenue-location-under-active-consideration,111665 One concerning but potentially coincidental bit of info from the article mentions a …

FYI you can easily get them down to $4.99 per month when you call to cancel, but the price reverts in 12 months.
-
Yeah, I may renew someday but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why not just offer a reasonable rate without having to call every year and complain? And to go all the way to $25 per month for just digital access? I'd happily pay $5 per month o…

I wanted the share with anyone who has an LSJ subscription that they have quietly raised their price to $20 per month and are now raising it again to $25 per month. Absolutely ridiculous price, I just called to cancel my subscription. Just fyi in ca…

While the renderings are bad, that's not why I call them projects, the design just makes things worse. Walnut Park, while a nice looking building, has had its problems. And I don't think it's as highly subsidized as these buildings will be?? Having …
-
Thanks for the renders. @citykid implied existing code shouldn't allow these designs so we'll see how it plays out I guess. I'm hoping the city can convince the LHC to sell their remaining property in this neighborhood. They cannot build another …

I feel like I'm so behind on this zoning stuff. I had somehow forgotten or overlooked that the entirety of the Cedar/Larch corridor is already zoned DT, that is a comforting fact. I also agree on the lot sizes, being able to get two houses on the 60…

Just want to say I couldn't agree more with Mr Eliis' email and @MichMatters sentiment on the FBC.

After looking into that a bit more the namesake Schuster Family donated $8 million for its construction, so philanthropy is also at play.

Don't hold me to the accuracy (I asked Chat GPT) here but: Lansing / Dayton Median Income City $45k / $38k Median Income Metro $62k / $62k Median House Value City $104k / $63k Median House Value Metro $193k / $171k City Population 112k / 137k …
