By "these aircrafts", you're describing commuter planes and 737s, which are considerably smaller. At most, it can handle a 757.

I see dozens of available rental units in Midtown/Downtown/Corktown on Craigslist, rb.

I think the big question that remains unanswered is the stickiness of downtown residents. I know several...

Having been a loyal Uber user in nearly every city I visit, including moments when the ole' MTA is shut down en route to Brooklyn -- it's a fantastic service that is sprouting up other similar...

There's no obligation whatsoever, from my perspective. In certain places, supporting local is compulsory as it's the only game in town [[see: Williamsburg).

YOBS is the unfortunate byproduct of...

You may want to expand on that point, Gannon. Who, exactly, defines this "regular folk" demography?

Personally, I'd rather give "regular folk" the opportunity to visit a well-maintained and...

From my outside vantage point [[or "armchairing" as Honky Tonk puts it), it appears that none of our democratic systems in status quo form are working all too well at the moment.

The irony of all...

That'll put Detroit on the short list with NYC, Chicago, LA, Ann Arbor, Cambridge, Toronto, Vancouver, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Austin, and a host of European cities.

First...

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's suggesting Detroit is making a comeback. I don't really read into this announcement and make that claim; other projects are suggesting such things.

I mean,...

I like what you're saying here. It's a positive step, but it's not transformational.

And I think that strikes at the very core of why some folks, like Wattrick, are a bit exasperated with the...

Well, we know that Wattrick's not all too impressed.

I had to go to the article, because I didn't believe she said what you quoted she said.

And, I was wrong. My God.

Unfortunately, I reckon that the insurance companies leaving rates at unacceptable levels in Detroit don't agree with your values.

...on that note, am I the only one that paid Detroit city taxes,...

I didn't see the ad, but I'm assuming they're assessing its effectiveness in comparison to this:

Private funds? Fair enough -- it's not coming out of my pocket; hence, I don't care.

...welllll....sorta. :)

It's more semantics, EBW. I'm thinking relative distance between Bed-Stuy and, say, the UES compared to Sherwood Forest and Corktown. From a perception perspective -- some Manhattanites even consider...

False.

I can't keep track of how many yuppie acquaintances I know that are moving to Bed-Stuy, Prospect Heights, etc. The pace is absolutely frenetic, and it mainly has to do with the fact that...

I don't know if she'd be offended as much as stunned about how ill-informed her significant other was about Chicago.

And I didn't read that book, but I have lived in Chicago, hence me finding...

i laughed. Did your girlfriend read this over before you posted it?

If you're referencing physical appearance of neighborhoods, I agree. And maybe it's the fact that there's some extensive focus on Detroit's "ruin porn" which orients revitalization toward that area....

In principle, 48009, I'm in alignment with your frustrations.

The concern I have is with the way you're conveying it. I quickly discovered, in a previous thread not many months back, that spending...

I disagree with your first sentence. The conversations I've had with New Yorkers about my time living in Detroit has been extremely vibrant and engaging, especially in professional settings. If...

Eh, I missed the tongue wagging. Forgive me, I'm tired. :o

We may be asking the wrong question here.

It's not as much a barrier to entry to move to Detroit at 22-26 as it is to stay ​past the honeymoon stage. And frankly, the grand experiment called...

Suck what? This is good news for Detroit; there's no need to ruin it by projecting your inferiority complex toward other cities onto it.
