Lansing, MI

Hi, Bunnyhugger! Wanted to let you know that I reverted your recent edit at the above named page. I don't know what you searched to come to the conclusion that Lansing does not extend into Clinton County, but maps clearly show that it does. Perhaps you were looking at tax rolls and the parcels in Clinton County are city-owned, such as wellfields or parks? Those would not appear on the tax rolls. Maps, especially the one issued by the state, are considered reliable sources and since you cannot use a null result search as a reference, you do not have a reference that countradicts that. Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 06:29, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just remembered why I try to never edit the hot mess that is Wikipedia. Needing a citation to add a "citation needed" tag to something that lacks a citation is one example of what makes this whole business so effing ridiculous. I'm done. Bunnyhugger (talk) 07:19, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. Not that it helps much, but I was editing on my phone and it appeared in the phone interface that you had removed Clinton county. Removing the {{cn}} was a mistake on my part and I apologize. Your question was answered on the article talk page and it appears my explanation above was correct, however. It is public land, namely the airport. John from Idegon (talk) 19:02, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My own apologies for flying off the handle. I do have many frustrations with Wikipedia, not least what seems to me an overzealous tendency to revert that some people have, but I needn't have been quite so tetchy in this case. Best wishes. Bunnyhugger (talk) 02:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lansing and Clinton County

I thought you might be interested to see exactly what Lansing "annexed" in Clinton County, so I did a little research. Here is a Census map showing what Lansing annexed north of the county line:

http://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/bas/bas13/st26_mi/mcd/m2606546020_lansing/BAS13M32606546020_001.pdf

Also, if you go to the American FactFinder map tool, it'll show the same thing. And, here is a list of the most recent boundary changes in Michigan (January 2013) according to the Census:

Hope this helps. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:24, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. My spouse and I had wondered about this for ages as the city's Web site doesn't even seem to acknowledge any existence in Clinton county, nor could I find any acknowledgement of Lansing's existence in the county anywhere among Clinton County's site... and Wikipedia was at one time inconsistent on this point in different articles. The better half had looked at a map hanging somewhere in town (the post office or the library, I forget which) and reported that it also showed the city limits ending short of Clinton. I was on the verge of asking the Mayor. Pun not intentional, except now that I've noticed it, it's intentional. Bunnyhugger (talk) 02:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm aware of only one local map created recent enough to show the Act 425 Agreement Lansing has with DeWitt Township, and that's the map on the Lansing Police Department's website showing the districts they split the city into for service purposes. There is a huge metropolitan map in the downtown Capital Area District Library showing municipal boundaries, and I think it's also fairly recent as it show East Lansing's boundary expansion, but still not recent enough to show Lansing's expansion. And, speaking of this, the Census Bureau literally just a few days ago released a report entitled "Population Trends in Incorporated Place: 2000 to 2013" with one section detailing city expansions, and they speak of Lansing's physical growth. I was actually surprised to find that Lansing had one of the largest population density decreases over this measured period almost exclusively because of this 425 Agreement with the report showing in the chart Lansing "growing" from 36.0 square miles to 39.0 square miles with population remaining flat. It ranks among the top 10 decreases in the country for cities of population over 100,000. As an urban statistics geek, this is something I hate to see, because most people won't know that what was actually "annexed" was land that will almost certainly never be built on throwing off population density numbers. And, this doesn't even get into the fact that while the Census counts these as annexations, we all know that 425 Agreements only give the party that initiates these only partial jurisdiction/control over the "annexed" land. Lansing technically hasn't annexed any land since the 60's, I believe. The City of Lansing only has full jurisdiction over 34 square miles of area, and almost all of the 425 Agreements are non-residential, so we couldn't grow our population through these "annexations" if we wanted to. --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
