City planner Brent Toderian said: “The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget.” So, what are our aspirations? #LansingMI #LoveLansing

Pharmacies are crucial in a comprehensive health system. From dispensing medication, to consultations, harm-reduction, and more. Where we place pharmacies is a choice that impacts which communities have reliable access. #LoveLansing #Health www.lansingography.com/2025/11/neig...

as @lansingmichigan.bsky.social Lansing activates its Code Red extreme heat weather plan, remember that not all surfaces heat equally. On a hot day, parking lots, highways, and turf grass heat up, while watery areas and trees keep an area cooler. #LoveLansing www.lansingography.com/2022/07/stay...

Planner Brent Toderian said: "The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget." City of Lansing is asking for feedback on their budget, what does the city-wide budget even look like? Here's one way to look at it: www.lansingography.com/2025/02/lans...

a sankey chart showing money entering the city of Lansing and leaving it: large amounts of income are prop texes and income taxes (approximately 33% each), other large inputs from BWL equity and michigan revenue sharing. largest outputs are fire and police, with smaller outputs into public works, parks, economic development and planning and a wide variety of even smaller amounts in various city offices

Lansing just hit a decade-long low in permitting housing. Demand is constant and market analysis suggests we need upward of 1,000 units built per year. Actually, we should be permitting more, including 2-4 unit buildings #LoveLansing data: US Census Building Permits Survey, viz: housingdata.app

buildings permitted in lansing Michigan over time: highs in 1980s, lows in 2000s, declining in 2020s.

New zoning changes in Lansing proposed (infographic from @cedar500.bsky.social ): -simplified zoning types where they were very similar -allow new kinds of housing such as boarding houses, co-ops, rooming house, ADUs, and cottage court and more

Zoning changes: Lansing Form Based Code infographic

Simplified Zoning Types
Removed Zones are nearly identical to others, differed in ways that mattered little or none, or were rarely used

News kinds of home allowed
New codified ways for people to either share a home, add a second home to their property, or have a community of homes

Lots of other various changes

City planners are working hard to envision a future MLK. Would you rather walk across 5 lanes or 6? City officials are collecting feedback on their designs www.lansingmi.gov/695/One-Way-... #lansing #lovelansing #lovedowntown

In Lansing, MLK used to be a neighborhood street, lined with single family homes, apartments, and storefronts. MDOT tore down hundreds of buildings to expand it into the highway it is today. #lovelansing more: www.lansingography.com/2024/02/lans...

In the 1960s (when MLK was still named Logan and not a 6-8 lane hwy through our city), the Mich Department of Highways was looking at different plans to route traffic through Lansing. Eventually Logan would be expanded (pic from LSJ, 19 Nov 1961) #lovelansing

I've been thinking about age lately. The median age of a resident is 34, but there are age patterns in Lanstronauts live. Here's median age mapped across our neighborhoods. More info on my blog: www.lansingography.com #lovelansing #maps

Cities rely on property taxes to fund services, and not all land generates the same value. Here's how Lansing stacks up: you can see the economic engines along Washington and Michigan as well as how prop values range across the city! www.lansingography.com/2023/11/most... #maps #lovelansing
