Bailey lot redevelopment

Any ideas why the city rejected the high-rise proposed for this site? The LSJ said it was over a parking issue, but didn’t elaborate. I know it was the city that said they want the non-city owned portion of the lot redeveloped. Is this spite because they just signed a one-year lease for the parking spaces? Or was there a substantive objection to the proposal?

Prop 2 Making even-year ballots longer and more complicated.

Prop 2 supporters claim that it will make voting easier, save money, and ensure our city government is accountable to the citizens.
I understand the cost savings but it is going to make being an informed voter more difficult and voting itself more difficult.

Help me understand how making a longer more complex ballot makes voting easier. This November's ballot has 18 positions to vote for plus 7 proposals or amendments to research and vote on. Is there data that supports the idea that a long complex ballot is easier to use?

Isn't there a logical fallacy that changing the day that we vote for city council members will increase their accountability?

It seems like common sense to separate local elections from national elections. There is only so much time in a cycle that news outlets have to cover all the proposals and candidates on the ballot. There is only so much time people have to research and make informed choices.

Advice for apartments

Hello!

I’m sorry if this question has been continuously asked, I’ve been having trouble finding an apartment near MSU and was asking for help.

I plan on moving in August 2027, and since I’m looking for only myself, I’d like to have rent be ~$1000, although i know it’s pricey over there and might not be able to match that pay. I’d like to be walking distance to MSU, but I never minded a hike, lol.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look?

Thank you!!!!
