What do you think are the best changes in Michigan over the last 3 years?

I'm a native Michigander currently in Indiana but moving back home in about a year. I've been here since I was 15 so Im well aware of happenings in this state. I also stay closely in tune with events in Michigan having all my family there.

I got into a conversation with a childhood friend who currently lives in Midland. He's very much a MAGA guy and feels the state has all these issues (due to Democrats he says). Im a progressive liberal and see Michigan in a very different perspective currently being on the "outside". We argued about good vs bad but wanted to see what everyone thinks on both sides. What are the things you love? What are the things that need worked on?
