Thanks for the article! So is the mayor\'s idea that Lansing already has enough parks? If so, I don\'t recall seeing that quote. Are there easier/better/cheaper ways of attracting new people to Lansing (and keeping the existing ones here) than using these assets? Is it common for recovering cities to sell parks? I do know that local bike groups have greatly enjoyed using the two ex-golf-courses to host events that have brought in hundreds of people. Are there other parks we can use instead, after these are sold? Maybe there are ways of using parks other than as golf courses, or in addition to golf, that include more people, to help make Lansing more livable. Offhand, parks seem like they could be a cheap, effective attractor and that more parks make a city more livable. But maybe Lansing is at a tipping point of just way too much public space so it\'s time to shed the public land. ? If the parks are sold, what will the space be used for? I\'ve heard that condos are part of it. Are there people clamoring to move to a Lansing with fewer parks? There isn\'t enough suitable housing here already? I\'m concerned that these sales will mean one-time victories for a couple developers and that the public will be left holding the bag, and poorer for it. But I\'d love to see reporting and quotes showing otherwise. Thanks!
