"I support Prop 1 because it is pro-family, pro-affordable housing, and pro-neighborhood stability. East Lansing homeowners do not deserve to be treated like second class citizens with less rights than our neighbors in other communities." --- Jeff Hank
"What that tells us is that people are broadly favorable of allowing themselves to use their home to have people in it who are not renters, who the city should not be regulating with large fines." --- Patrick Rose
"I also cannot have my lifelong friend, who's closer to me than many of my family members, stay for more than 30 days." "I can't use my home as I thought I could." --- Susan Froetschel
"We all recognize the importance of rental restrictions, but no municipality should have the authority to dictate who I can invite into my home, no matter the time frame, as long as I'm not charging them rent." --- Michael French
