All those are true, but America is absolutely abysmal at building infrastructure relative to our peer countries

Do you think police training centers are a new thing that don’t exist already

All I’ve learned from Gainey so far is that the cops have him completely bent over

Probably just showing the demand for crosstreks. For me, the outback has gotten WAY too big the last 10 years and the crosstrek is a way better size. Good for city driving but also enough cargo space for road trips. I’m sure I’m not alone in that sentiment

Just bought a new crosstrek from Cochran. No haggling because there were no cars on the lot. Everything was custom ordered and we waited 3 months for ours. Purchased at MSRP

Wait that new building by the Aldi is for the glass center? Pretty cool to see how big they’re getting!

This is pretty cool. Is the state now forced to change the funding method?

BRT to the airport.
Protected bike lane network (yes - remove street parking)
Bump out/elevate/cover all bus stops
Expand POGOH network
Frequencies on key bus/T lines to under 10 minutes

Agreed, don’t know a lot about cars but they’ve always been helpful and I don’t feel I’ve ever gotten ripped off.

You can also rent POGOH bikes with the transit app!

This is huge. I can’t wait to never bike over the highland park bridge again. My least favorite bridge to cross by bike.

Yeah I rented a brand new apartment for like…$700 a month in a very urban area of Lansing. A similar apartment here is easily 1600+. I never know how these places get their numbers because as someone who’s lived both places, Pittsburgh is way way more expensive.
One of my advisors in school bought a nice 3 bed 2 bath house close to MSU for like $150k. Unheard of here to pay that for an actually livable building near any amenities.
