I quite frequently listen to motivational speeches while I workout. And one is about having the attitude of a lion. Lions lead. Sheep follow. Be a lion.

There you go trica

🥇They won! I hope the City can bring in Superior Minds for some recognition. The Itty Bitty City Committee won 1st place in their LEGO Innovation City Shaper competition. These 4 - 6th graders — future engineers and software leaders — from a STEM club at Father Marquette researched the repurposing of the ore dock. Part of their judging was dependent on showing their findings to experts. They consulted with IDI, GEI, BotEco, and presented to me suggestions for how to make use of this historic structure. They now go to the State Finals in three weeks. Congratulations! fb.com/superiorminds906

Cooper says, “good job!” Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!🌞🤩

Something like this in Marquette would require us to revisit zoning, which in my opinion is step one. I'm optimistic that a new task force can recommend viable options to Commission, which may include a #TinyHome community for veterans and a broader demographic. ... See MoreSee Less

I have always loved this idea, after working for the past 12+ years with homeless and/or low income families and individuals this would be more than most could ever ask for!!!

I like this idea. I also support making it for a broader demographic. There are a lot of homeless vets, but we also have homeless who are not vets and I think it’s better for everyone to live in a community with a diverse population.

We absolutely need "tiny home" zoning. And not just like we do with "trailer parks". Real community. I have been hoping to see this open up the possibilities for many here in Marquette.

I love this. When I was homeless, I was homeless with 2 Vietnam Vets. One became my best friend, he kept me safe. When I was turned away at the shelter for failing the breathalyzer (my own fault) he LEFT the shelter in below zero weather to show me where I could sleep. He even took off an extra sweatshirt to put down on the cold concrete floor so I wouldn't freeze as much, even though I told him he needed it. He huddled up with me to keep warm and never tried to overstep boundaries unlike other males that were around on the streets. Such a kind man. ❤ We need this.

My mother needs housing like this. Can it be done?

I have wanted to see something like this for a long time. Happy to help as I can so keep us all posted on what's needed from advocacy to hard labor!

Could be for homeless?! Great idea !

Love this idea

Each house could come with a free stress ball lol. This is a pretty cool idea. They could probably get the national guard engineers to help set it up for their 2 week training event also. Maybe

Thomas Gauthier, this is almost exactly what we discussed on the way home from the Ore Dock last night. Great minds!

The one in Detroit is run really well.

This would be awesome, Andrew!

Sarah Timm Schultz isn't this a neat idea?

Per the international building code - which i suspect Mqt uses wholesale - habitable dwellings can be very modest in size - under 200 square feet. A stick built, IBC compliant permanent house can be that small. Certainly bringing back zoning that encourages Levittown type housing could be done - smaller lots, smaller minimum house size requirement. duplexes on all sfr zoned properties. Increasing numbers of communities are permiting the use of 'park model RVs" for permanent housing, (in photo) in a RV type park setting. With the right zoniing code changes - and maybe some targeted brownfield incentives or general incentives - there's a lot of opportunity for the city to facilitate the provision of lower cost housing.

Tonight at the Lifting Up: Homelessness in the 906 I experienced a homelessness simulation. Enlightening. Tomorrow you can Walk a Mile in their Shoes if you meet us at the Berry Events Center Parking Lot 60 at 10 a.m. We have the opportunity to erdicate homelessness in Marquette, but concrete solutions start with immersion. Join us. andrewmqt.com/haw

I just got to preview of the Itty Bitty City Committees robotic presentation at Father Marquette before their competition tomorrow at 9 a.m. at MSHS. They were instructed to find a city problem, and solve it with innovation, teamwork, and engineering. The students tackled the reuse of the Ore Dock. Im so impressed. Good luck tomorrow. The future is in good hands! instagram.com/andrewlorinser
