Happy to agree to disagree if we're leaving it here. That being said, I hope you're not calling me out for the "short sighted" statement when in your previous post, which I was responding to, you called my stance (and by proxy me) "heartless and sho…

I think they'll do something with at least some of this land in the not incredibly distant future, I just don't think they had to raze Eastern with the urgency they claimed they needed to. As time goes on I wonder more and more what's going on. The …

@Lymon89 Yeah, it's disappointing that some highly partisan folks are incapable of even having the discussion that we're having here, the lack of civil discourse (obviously) doesn't bode well for the future. My main goal with these sorts of conversa…

Well I'm also not trying to offend, I did try to offer the "agree to disagree" line on the subject, but I feel a compulsive to need to counter what I consider to be a destructive belief system when I encounter it. I'm trying to push you towards eith…

Obviously we could just buy some land, build some form of housing and allow people to stay there for free, but that all side steps the most important issue: Who pays for it? Maybe I'd like to sell my house and live in a tiny home community on the ta…

I have no faith they're going to move forward in a timely manner, I argued as much at the meeting about Eastern before it was razed. I continue to have no nice things to say about the situation or anyone involved. I've actually found myself avoiding…

There is really no way for city officials to get out of this without looking bad and people being angry, buying these was a bad move. If they do get used, people near the chosen location will be very angry and some portion of residents in general wi…

Yeah, with any luck we'll end up selling these things off to the next unfortunate municipality. The only option I wouldn't be up in arms over is the old Barnes St School, I'd just be disappointed. I don't want to see us get into the habit of encroac…

A City Pulse article on the tattoo shop that wants to fix up the old Baron's buildings: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/devils-day-tattoo-to-expand-seek-opra-tax-abatement,166302 They plan on occupying one storefront while creating a co…

I've noticed that one going up. It's very comforting to see Frandor continue to thrive through it all.

Drug laws and all the issues surrounding are far, far more nuanced than "it's racism" and "Nixon/Republicans did it". The racist drug user tropes were just propaganda tools, not the ideological foundation of the policy, it's tough to say how large o…

I can't say it's the most exciting thing, but I'll take it as a sign that 127 construction is ending, which is a good thing. I'd bet the timing of their opening had at least a little to do with that. Looks nice, in that modern corporate franchise so…

Rant away, within reason of course. One thing I'll push a bit for posterity's sake: The war on drugs started long before The War on Drugs, so the only point I'll stand on is yes, both sides are very much to blame for not only the broader problems…

I don't know if I'd frame it as MSU carrying a burden so much as partnering with a neighbor for something that should be mutually beneficial. I don't really know how much MSU gains by adding another facility like this on-campus. Maybe slightly highe…

We're treading into dangerous waters. I'll bite. While there's definitely some things in the article I agree with. I think it's written in a particularly unjournalistic tone (I get it's an editorial) with exaggerations and statements that seem un…

Funny the way life goes like that sometime. It is disappointing, yet unsurprising, that Delta turned down the millage. I'm not sure how I'd argue to one of their residents that voting 'yes' would have been some great benefit, it really is a tough…

It's in the master plan to extend a shared use path down Old Lansing Rd east to the Waverly Pathway and to the future Carrier Creek Path to the west, so there is a plan there. I just don't see why Delta would make the Old Lansing route a priority ov…

Delta Township residents seem to very much want Delta connected to the Lansing River Trail system, and that's a stated priority of the Delta Parks folks. That being said, connecting Fulton and Anderson Parks doesn't really further that goal unless t…

Well, I like the concept of being open to selling such land given a good proposal for it, but I do hope this sale is turned down. I guess that's why we have the processes we do. Thanks for the planning commission update.

The draft parks master plan link appears fixed: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/7561d46b-8bdd-4928-a815-e99aa3e74046?cache=1800 Lots of promising stuff in the action plan, of interest to me are: - Connecting downtown's west bank Rivert…
