Remote worker thinking about Lansing

So, I'm single, late 20s, and Rent is about $1,271/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 28,415 people. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in North area are surprisingly good. Kids love it here.

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is healthcare. it's exactly what I was looking for. Worth doing your research before committing.
