  • 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…
  • 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.
  • You captured the trail situation in SW Lansing along Waverly perfectly. Nice detail. I also want to see your proposed trail along the Consumers property along the power lines heading west from the current terminus of the trail at Waverly.
