  • 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/
  • City of Lansing Parking Survey
  • 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…
  • I'd been trying to see if Google Streetview had updated it for a few months, now, and they JUST updated it this month. I actually saw the google streetview car a couple weeks ago driving that area. I'm going to see if I made it in the shot now …
  • I'm starting to realize how silly it was for me to expect residential high rises back before even the original Stadium District was built I feel you. I remember being so excited and actually thinking that the Capital Club high rise was possible…
  • I want the business, obviously, but I hate the location. There's already grassroots backlash trying to fight it. Let's fill in the developed area before expanding even further to the outer edge of the market.
  • But I'm still so disappointed with how much MSU has turned its back on its own region on a whole host of fronts when they could been building prestige in their hometown. I couldn't have said it better.
  • I was caught off guard with the news that Sparrow Health System is being acquired by University of Michigan Medicine. I'm concerned about further consolidation, but I've also heard so much about Sparrow quality decline over the years, so I'm hoping …
  • The park controversy is ridiculous to me with this Christmas market. The city can't be expected to make a public park a de facto shanty town for homeless people and still expect others to want to move into apartments in the area. It sucks that we ha…
  • It didn't look close to finished yesterday. I'm shocked if the highway is open, Google Maps still shows it closed. I'll try to take it back from Mason this afternoon!
  • I'm sure the intent with Reutter is to increase "civilian" use in order to push out the vagrancy. Aesthetically, I agree that it looks odd for a formal park to have that playground shoehorned in, but the city also needs play infrastructure there if …
  • I've toured the facility. It's very industrial. Tight spaces and stairs, loud. It doesn't have the art deco pizzaz that the water treatment plant on Cedar has, and architecturally it's no Ottawa St station. My favorite part was the view from the roo…
  • LSJ reported that a judge halted the annexation vote from getting on the ballot. There's still a chance for it to get on if a legislative review approves it.
