Belle Isle is the greatest it has been in a lifetime thanks to the State of Michigan, the Riverwalk has brought life to formerly dead areas thanks to a private conservatory and the QLine, although...

You do know it's possible to get out of your car and walk right?

The riverwalk is several miles long of uninterrupted walking paths.

Detroit PM is not past its life expectancy, unless you're only referring to the rolling stock. Automated light-metro systems [[which is the PM is) are common around the world, so this wouldn't be a...

Sadly walking, outside of a recreational activity, is not normalized in these parts.

Meanwhile, rates of obesity and metabolic disorders are as high as ever.

A little light exercise here and...

Entirely predictable. Target is in the process of closing several locations in major urban centers including in New York and San Francisco due to high retail theft. And those are locations which...

Detroit airport is good. But fact that it's considered the best in the states just goes to show that American airports on average are pretty terrible by global standards.

Mega hubs like Istanbul,...

Comical how corrupt Detroit is and has been.



These are profitable *privately* owned businesses and it should not be the interest of the County or City to subsidize them.

Imagined if the...

Traffic laws exist keep our roads safe for everyone but police pulling people over is simply not a strong enough deterrent to unsafe driving. Traffic enforcement cameras increase compliance and...

Buses simply aren't a comfortable or convenient way to get around a big metropolitan area. They are best for short trips in your local area. Regional rail is vastly superior as it's faster, more...

The reason new buildings all look the same is due to strict regulations and building codes, along with constraints on financing, construction and materials. It's actually very difficult for...

The article doesn't say it's inevitable but does cite low foot traffic on Woodward when compared to typical Apple Store locations which occupy some of the highest value retail districts and shopping...

It would be great to see some market rate units as well, so as to avoid clustering subsidized units in one area.

Yes, the Chrysler Freeway, like other urban highways across the country, was incredibly destructive and should have never been build. But to claim that its removal will "right the wrongs of the past"...

Complains about "gentrification" in Detroit but moves to the rapidly gentrifying Washington, DC. Why not just admit that DC offers vastly more opportunities than Detroit?

Consider the scale and...

Greektown is gone and the Casino killed it. At least the "Greek" version. Most of the Greek spots have closed. Just look at street view in 2009 versus now.

Yeah sure, the casino generate revenue...

The riverfront, along with the stadium area, seem like good examples of land owners sitting on land and reaping the reward of its ever increasing value, but never actually improving it.

There is,...

There's no such thing as a right to drive on public roads. That's a privilege and you maintain that privilege by following traffic laws. Break them too often, and you lose that privilege.

I'm...

Why make such a point of cameras not being used for traffic violations?

Enforcing traffic laws with cameras is smart and would vastly increase compliance, thereby making the road safer for...

Ohio is an interesting one in having a trio of large cities, fairly close together but none of them being dominant.

Columbus is indeed the most populous city proper, but Cincinnati is the largest...

This feels extremely ambitious, especially with an economic downturn looming. My instinct is to think this is an huge overpromise which they will underdeliver with one or two completed project here...

Insane that this does not exist. But the frequency needs to be max 30 minutes or else riders will opt for a Taxi/app.

The reason is to provide an affordable alternative for transatlantic flights. Icelandair is betting there will be enough customers willing to stop over in Reykjavík to make it worth their while.

Of course the driver is at fault. But there is also a problem with the intersection if there are that many accidents. Fix the intersection and there will be less accidents. It's simple.

Abysmal ridership on most "modern" streetcars. The only North American systems that have high riderships are the remaining legacy systems such as those in San Francisco, Boston or Toronto. This is...

The Q would be much better if it had dedicated lanes. This is done in front of Little Caesars arena and should be followed through on the entire line. There is zero reason Woodward needs three lanes...
