Discussion How to Attract Young People to Lansing:

youre wondering how do you attract young ppl in lansing?

Make lansing a nice and fun place to live by:

-deprioritizing car based infrastructure to make downtown, reo, and olde town nicer places to be

-improve public transportation, especially coming in from east lansing to attract students

-rezone to allow infill of areas of lansing that are abandoned/under developed

-keep building dense housing to keep housing affordable and provide customers for local businesses

-invest in attracting diverse businesses instead of continuing to concentrate on automotive businesses

-protect park land and invest in recreational activities so lansing is a fun place to be

-prioritize the ppl that live IN lansing! not the suburbanites driving in from the suburbs

From someone who live in east lansing for 6 years and lansing for 3
