Commute times in Lansing -how bad?

Curious what people think. I'm retired and Household incomes average around $71,805 in Lansing. Median household income is $71,805, which feels about average for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. Does this match your experience? The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 5 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into running, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Maple Ridge side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.
