@sabatoa, I've got to agree with you. As a mostly remote worker, I can tell you, many jobs can be done effectively and often more efficiently, and save the worker some money at the same time. You're going to have a happier employee all around. Pl…

Yeah, UM has not impressed me one bit with their acquisition of Sparrow. I'd really like to see all that information as well. Not just because I was excited for it, but I think there needs to be some accountability. They shouldn't just get to…

I figured that was the hotel you mentioned, I went on a tangent. I've had visitors stay at both and they end up preferring the Double Tree. I can't believe the Radisson had such a long term deal to be the only hotel downtown. I look forward to ad…

Fair comments and good points. I know we've discussed the covering on Grand and we're on different pages there. I see your side, all the same, but am not opposed to it in this instance. I will say, while the Double Tree isn't "new" the renovation…

Oh, please don't remind me of the CADL building...it would be a travesty for them to leave that building. People I've told who have moved away that grew up going to that library just can't believe they'd do what they've been talking about. That bu…

Really not a fan of how Riverplace 220 and GVP turned out. They look so busy and so cheap. There's almost no rhyme or reason to any of their features, aside from putting lipstick on a pig. I can't even tell what the white and blue panels even are…

While I tend to avoid frandor because I find the parking lots insane, I think I find myself there more than Eastwood. I don't think there's anything that's a particular draw, but its a nice variety of things that I will occasionally find myself out…

I'm not sure how much of a success Eastwood even is in a retail sense. I feel like the concept was becoming out dated when they built it, and it was poorly executed. I really don't know anyone that really shops there. Maybe the occasional restaur…

One I do hope the city does less planting with are Honey Locust trees. I'm not sure I've met anyone who likes those lol. I always liked Sycamores, but I know some people hate them because of the bark they "shed". I've been in a historic home …

These days it's taught, and advised, against using all the same species for street trees or any close proximity trees. If you do all of the same species, when you end up with disease or pests, it often wipes out the whole area. Think of pests like…

@hood, you make some good points. It does seem like they're contradicting themselves with their statements. Reading through these posts, I too had the thought "do they know where their neighborhood is?" Having even known people that lived…

I could list as many downsides to that location as you listed positives. Anyone I've talked to does not find that site appealing for housing. Maybe young professional isn't the market they're trying to appeal to. If it's "work force" or affordabl…

I know we don't agree on this one, but I personally wouldn't view this as a win. That area is never going to be a thriving corridor with anything else. It's run down industrial, pawn shops and weed factories. Just a block further east reeks anyti…

Everyone knows my stance on property taxes at this point and I can surely say, them abandoning that building and putting it in a parking ramp will absolutely have me voting down every millage they try to pass. At this point, ANY millage, I'm likely…
-
Wow, that's even more interesting. I feel like this needs more public attention, because it seems to come as a shock to so many. Then they tell me how horrible their suburban taxes are and I just roll my eyes. I'd only ever looked through MI prop…
-
Yeah, it's hard to encourage people to live in Lansing over the suburbs when the taxes are considerably lower out there. I think a problem in Lansing is the fact that so much of the housing is so low value that the only way they get any money i…

I couldn't believe anyone who actually owns property in the city wouldn't feel the same, but was curious (and a little frustrated). We moved to a considerably more valuable, unique, historic home in Lansing in '24 after being in a small bungalow in…
-
Unrelated, but has there been any discussion on here about how property taxes in Lansing and their effect on residential development? Our property taxes are some of the highest in the state, and we have nothing to show for it. I understand it may …
-
Ah, I misread. It does state replacing, not necessarily at the current site. I thought that seemed odd. Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of their very suburban approach and destruction these days. It's very disappointing. I actually worked on a …

Not sure if this had been discussed on here yet, but I didn't recall a project like this at the St Lawrence Campus... https://www.wilx.com/2026/02/20/university-michigan-health-sparrow-announces-major-lansing-expansion/?outputType=amp
