Check this out. According to the NAHB housing affordability index:

Among all cities, including smaller ones, Lansing, Michigan ranked as the most affordable metro area surveyed. Some 92.7 percent of all homes sold there could be bought by families earning the median income in town.

They also reported that the Average home price (that sold in the first quarter) was $108,000 and that the median family income is $64,900.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
