[nfbmi-talk] places to live in Michigan

[J.J. Meddaugh]

I think if transit is a big goal for you then Ann Arbor is a good 
choice. There's lots of college kids but also lots to do in town and a 
city and transit agency that gets it. There's also now hourly bus 
service to Detroit airport (East Lansing will soon have this too) and 
soon higher speed rail between Detroit and Chicago that passes through 
Ann Arbor.
Ypsy was just officially voted into the Ann Arbor Area Transit Authority 
as well. AS with many cities, living closer to the urban core is 
generally better for those without vehicles.
Welcome to Michigan, and hope to perhaps see you at the convention in 
Grand Rapids in October.



Best regards,
J.J.
