This is so cool!

Very cool!!!

So awesome.

I had a few internal hurdles to leap to #FeelTheBurn, hurdles of ageism, and a clutch to the establishment. The great women in my life showed me a vote for Bernie isn't just a vote for a revolutionary man, it's a political uprising. It's an entire movement.

I will cast my ballot on March 10 for Bernie Sanders because it's not about him, it's about us, the people. It's a vote for the women and men he will push to the table to promote justice, equity, and inclusion.

Consistent for nearly 60 years, he is a prolific elder, eager to leave one of the most revolutionary political legacies in over half of a century. To save our country from division, to save our planet from destruction, Senator Sanders has my endorsement.

Thank you to Our Revolution for allowing me a few moments to speak and the honor of introducing one of my favorite artists, Blanco Suave at last night's rally. tiny.cc/BernieMQT

Sorry buddy, even though joe wins the election (primary, but, hopefully, the whole fandango), buttigieg has the best pedigree. I voted for bernie 4 years ago, still like 'em, but i don't feel his vision is the correct direction at this point. Need something more... incremental. And a decorated officer > bone spurs.

Mine goes to Amy—she can pull the country together and that is a HUGE task

He has never worked a day in his life but he is claiming it's okay to take more taxes from working people to give it too whomever he feels deserves your money and people think that's revolutionary??? It's theft and slavery. FUCK BERNIE AND EVERYONE HE RIDES IN ON

Excellent! Sanders all the way.

I like Warren. But not sure if the country is ready for her.

I really like Pete except for his stand on abolishing the electoral college.

Absolutely, my dude!

Nope. He probably would have won the election last time, but he (and Biden) are too old now. I’ll stick with the. libertarians again. Can’t vote for either party 😢

We deserve Bernie!

Spoils of riches!

Hope! No socialism for me.

Never would I vote for Sanders he is not for the people and the country,

As a strong American female I am NOT afraid of President Trumps effect on my rights as a woman.

Vote Blue.

I'll vote blue but not for Sanders.

Highlight in lead ?

Why not she is just another lieing cheating discusting evil piece of shit Demacrat

The LDC sets building height requirements for new developments. 80 feet max. Few buildings in Marquette currently exceed it. Should we consider incrementally increasing height restrictions to fit nearby rising buildings? Do we work to prevent urban sprawl, or preserve a city's spacial identity? In terms of new development, do you prefer we go up, out, or, perhaps neither? ... See MoreSee Less

With so many empty buildings/storefronts, this feels like the wrong question to be asking. It's like planning an addition to your house, when you've got broken windows that need fixing. Finding uses for some of the space we already have (and maybe figuring out a way to stop some major store or another from closing every month or so), seems like a better idea than worrying about constructing a bunch of tall buildings among empty husks.

Stepped away from the lake to preserve lakefront character. 2:3:5 stories incrementally by block or zone. 80 feet is plenty tall, lots of room for infill in the city for teardowns and increased density without increasing the height limit. Glass towers and Marquette do not mix.Convince the DDA to sell the money losing downtown parking structure for a developer to build up with a private parking garage underneath. Heck, just like the FLDG2 waterfront apartments.

I agree they should leave the lakeshore alone. They're building all kinds of condos and shit....I get it, money can be made from lakeshore condos, but Marquette needs to stop blocking the view of the lake. I moved away for 2 years, and when I came back this past July the lakefront was all built up...it was sad and infuriating.

Marquette is a unique gift simply because of the way it currently exists. If we continue to build up and build out we are going to become just like every other generic community. And then we'll have lost what makes it special. I don't believe that's something we want to do.

I say build vertically. We need more than 7-8 floors for some developments. Looking at Harbor Tower apartments in Escanaba, which is taller than Snowberry Heights, I'd say that helped their housing problem

Every developer should have to lobby for their variance. It should equate to smart growth principles.

We don’t need more condos or high rise buildings along the lakeshore. There is plenty of land elsewhere that those money hungry property developers can build on. How about the old Marquette mall lot? Make them build there

If population is expected to keep increasing, then building up is by far the preferred solution over more sprawl. Better public transportation and walkability, lower environmental impact.

New development NONE.

Development does not equate to progress. Sustainability, income equality and affordable housing does. Community Benefit Agreements are needed.
