    "They would not like the lack of safe spaces to walk your dog. Meaning that the areas that you can walk are not well lit and not well maintained, and then the dog owners usually will not have their own dogs leashed"

    "This area is great. The homes are affordable, but close to everything. Old Town, downtown Lansing, and East Lansing are all close. Lots of public transportation, parks, etc. Free on street parking for guests in many areas. I've been very happy living here."

    "I have lived in these are for over a year now and every day it has grown more on me. I think there is only one reason why people don't "like" Lansing and many parts of Michigan. There just aren't enough jobs. That simple."
