The city's requirements for senior citizen housing is their approach for expanded full time resident requirements. It was the only legal approach they could think of, outside of owner occupied condominiums which were built in City Center 1. Those co…

Yeah, it's funny how the design is to resemble multiple buildings next to each other, but then I notice that most of the buildings would only be one window wide. I wish they would have taken this same concept but only made it look like 3 or 4 buildi…

It's good to see these anchors help accelerate their developments. Target did the same in East Lansing. The lack of a big name anchor at Red Cedar Renaissance feels like the big reason we haven't seen any urgency.

Yeah I remember that photo and all the coverage it got. That was an awesome photo and a great skate spot, it was sad for us skaters when the mall got ripped up. I also had the same experience, never were there any office workers, students, or other …

The non-discrimination law protects people based on race, gender, and age. There are probably a few others. But it doesn't include sexual orientation or identity. Nessel campaigned on trying to protect more groups.

Yes, this should be very good for all the reasons you have mentioned. The passing of Proposal 2 and 3 will also help our future out greatly. Less gerrymandered districts will remove more extreme candidates from both sides and should help get politic…

Lots to take in after the election now. With Whitmer hopefully we'll see more infrastructure spending to fix the roads since that was her main agenda item. And with marijuana legalization we should see more taxes coming in too.

I rode one in Detroit and thought they were fun and were a quick way to get around downtown. They make the "last mile" a lot easier, for someone who is getting off a bus or other transit and wants to get to their destination quicker. It was nice to …

I'm curious how accessible the pocket park will be. Right now it appears to just be a park along a long stretch of road/sidewalk without much else around it (on that side of the road). I think it'd be nicer if it connected to one of the greenspaces …

So much to get rid of lol, the drop ceiling, wood paneling, salmon walls, and mismatched ceiling fan.

@MichMatters do you know the address of those pictures? I'm curious to see what direction along Washington Sq that Gillespie Group is investing. The hashtag-bolding is the result of using markdown for the comments which allows formatting using pl…

The other key figure to track is the $/sqft that these rentals are getting. $2 is the magic rate that building really starts to take off [1]. The article regarding The Hub mentions $1,100/300 square feet which is at $3.67/sqft. As long as we see ren…

That's great to hear. Getting the first shovels in the ground always seems to be the hardest part.

Okay cool, yeah similar to Ignition then. I didn't see the rest of the logo so I thought it was just a flame or explosion.
-
Cool! "Lansing Ignition" would be cooler, as it would tie closer in to automobiles. I'm not sure what they are trying to associate "Ignite" with.

I was asked by subterranean via private message to delete their account. I have marked the account as "banned" and decided not to delete their comments as the responses to the comments would become out of context.

Yeah, maybe the city needs to recuse itself from any site plan reviews (sarcasm). But the city could realistically deny any site plans and basically limit the Metzgers from doing any development. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Metzgers offload t…

I'm pretty sure you knew the answer to your questions before you asked them. Progress is slow and some developments have taken many years longer than they had initially proposed. The value of land in the region isn't high enough yet to create a buil…

Not only is the DDA underwater, there is a large balloon payment due on the loans soon so they have their backs up against the wall. If they don't sell, they will have to refinance again and increase their debt even more.

The negative comments don't help Lansing. The Lansing area knows pretty well its challenges, and we don't take each opportunity of progress for granted. @subterranean This forum isn't here for brash generalizations about populations. Please take …
