@MichMatters When we're talking caps, just realize that we're most likely talking a few blocks at the eastern end of downtown (Grand, Washington, Capitol); it'd definitely won't be a full tunnel, which requires a complicated ventilation, drainage, …

They pull that crap. I caught them jumping my price from like $7.99 to $12/month, so I canceled. Then I got an offer to renew for the whole year for like $29 total, so I did that. But you just reminded me to look and it looks like they got me for $4…

After looking into that a bit more the namesake Schuster Family donated $8 million for its construction, so philanthropy is also at play. Finally. Lack of philanthropy has been something holding Lansing back compared to GR.

Those affordable apartments are so incredibly bad. They're soulless and ugly, and it looks like a communist block building, or a prison block. They're going to remake Cabrini-Green...

Okay, aside from the stickies still not working correctly, I'm having everything marked as read even when I just click into one thread. I've noticed that too, that started happening around the time this sticky talk happened.

Some deserved discontent from the bike community about the bait and switch on Michigan Avenue. Instead of dedicated protected bike lanes like shown here; I guess the bikes are just sharing the sidewalk with pedestrians or light poles; I was…

Great catch. I love that stretch of the river trail, from Hawk Island, Scott Woods, Sycamore.

Even MSU has their name on more buildings in GR than they do in Lansing. It pisses me off that GR benefits from their wealthy families and institutions all trying to outdo each other with philantropy, and ours act like they don't even know about Lan…

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/

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).
