You can't really rope these lost causes back in. Once they go far enough down that path then they have to find their own way back, if they ever make it at all. Too many don't. The best thing to do is...
I've heard the vacating Gabriel Richard Building rumor, too. There is no way they're going to be able to sell it in this market. And why move all of their remaining downtown office workers to an old...

MIRepublic and ndavies are right. iheartthed has a point, too, but why would anyone seriously consider setting up shop here when we can't even clean up our own backyard? Besides is it really worth...
A whole slew of downtown office towers have gone into foreclosure lately, and the conventional wisdom is more are set to come. So which ones are coming next and in what order by the end of the year?...
Alright, so let's say you get appointed the EFM over ther City.
What do you cut, sell, trade or bater for?

3WC, could you expand on the financial/structural issues that make a Book Tower rehab an obvious money loser from your perspective?
Sept 18. It looks like Bing is just running out the clock until the money is gone, which will happen a lot quicker than the conventional wisdom suggests.
Damn it. I looked for one, too. Can the moderators please delete this duplicate thread?
This is coming from David Frum of all people. He pulls no punches and lands just about all of them. Can anyone argue with his assessment of the city's leadership and its lack of vision? He sums it up...
That last line really sums it up. Buffalo [[for all of its problems) at least has forward-thinking, innovative, solution-based leadership. Metro Detroit and especially the city itself lacks this sort...
This $11.5 million Bing' administration says it saved the city is nice and quaint, but it doesn't matter. The city is in too deep of a whole to dig itself out of right now. Bing's people can...
The building is valuable because a prominent downtown developer/millionaire wants to spend some of his millions redeveloping it. Say what you want about Keffilanos, but he understands the basics...
That's ludicrous Retroit. No developer puts up a complete plan with all of the money for it up front. Homeowners don't do it. Commercial landlords don't. Nobpdy does. My educated guess [[and I have a...

Real estate investor Dennis Kefallinos wants to save Detroit's Lafayette Building, slated for demolition - but the Detroit...
So explain this to me? Every couple of days the Packard Plant burns. Every couple of weeks it's the main subject in an unflattering national story about Detroit's downfall. Everyday people trespass...

Huh. I thought Rosa Parks was DDOT only. Thanks for clearing that up.
Are you talking about the Royal Oak Transit Center or something else? I couldn't find what you were referring to on SMART's website.
Thanks for that correction. I meant the HR director. I would like to see how the "following orders" excuse plays with Bing.
