  • Even MSU has their name on more buildings in GR than they do in Lansing. It pisses me off that GR benefits from their wealthy families and institutions all trying to outdo each other with philantropy, and ours act like they don't even know about Lan…
  • Who knows the factuality, but this person says that the Township was incentivised to push development west rather than focusing on infill; https://www.facebook.com/groups/517livingcommunity/posts/3976196969369950/?comment_id=3976224942700486&re…
  • Do people down the road have more money? Based on the types of businesses and their target markets, it seems that no one thinks that there's real money in Delta Twp- whether near the mall or near the highway.
  • I don't know if I'd quite call it sprawl for sprawls sake Yeah, I'm basically referring to the fact that the development is just the same businesses frog jumping down Saginaw rather than attracting new tenants to the township.
  • Eastwood Town Center funding is a boondoggle, we can all agree. But with the recent news that Burlington is following Hobby Lobby and TJ Maxx , is it time to admit that Delta Crossings is a disaster of a development? Three major tenents are just …
  • I almost used homeless-related issues as an example. You're 100% right. They'd be fine with the city setting up a shanty town on the Capitol lawn for homeless people, but god forbid any of the local developers actually build an apartment building.
  • The Lansing subreddit is particularly frustrating for me. They're very group thinky and often don't see the bigger picture. Any attempt to have a reasonable discussion usually results in downvotes due to wrongthink.
  • Self storage is one of the 'passive business' models that are touted by tik tok finance and the like. It's up there with laundrymats, car washes, and vending machines. I won't lie, I've debated spending time researching it. It seems like a solid bu…
  • Lansing Township is an abomination and anchor around the region's neck.
  • people complaining about how this road when it was widened displaced communities of color in the area, and they seem to be upset that reducing the road/boulevard size is disrespectful to the memory of that. Peak lunacy.
  • The airport's current terminal is borderline an embarrassment, It really is. I describe it to out-of-towners as a glorfied bus station.
  • I'm right with you. On the macro, we're getting a lot of conflicting indicators, making it difficult to navigate the markets a bit right now. I know we're off topic now, so I won't elaborate, but I agree with your assessment that it's hard to see qu…
  • I'm not a developer, so this is just speculation, but with the federal fund rate possibly at the terminal level, it would make sense for Gillespie to stall and bet on a pivot and lower rates in 2024. That's my optimistic take. My pessimistic take i…
  • Funny, I'd heard absolutely nothing of this. Funny enough, me neither until the /r/lansing thread today where a few are pushing it out of the blue https://old.reddit.com/r/lansing/comments/17qqrnp/a_revision_to_lansings_city_charter_passed/
  • It's a big gap in the trail system- both that, and the gap from Waverly/Jolly to the south expansion about 1/2 a mile south on Waverly. Fill those and you have a great, large loop

  • Is Lansing ready for a $125 steak! I doubt it. I love the area, but a lot of the people here have a small town mindset and don't/can't appreciate fine food. For example, I heard so much bitching about Buddy's Pizza being too expensive, and s…
  • As cool as this would be- The Capitol Club Tower was also proposed....right before the real estate crash. A lot of people are anticipating another downturn in the real estate market, so this might just be a top indicator (again).
  • 25-story residential building, hundreds of new apartments: Here's what $200M downtown Lansing proposal includes LANSING — More than 450 new housing units would come to downtown Lansing in the next two years under a $200 million proposal by th…
  • It's interesting to see Joe Kosik in this context. He's also the head of Wisconsin Resorts, Inc, which owns and operates all of the metro Detroit ski areas except Mt. Brighton, plus some others in MI, WI, and ON. I'm a snowsport enthusiest, so I'm f…
