Trump is running only a slightly less-subtle openly racist reelection campaign. And he didn't even start it, he's simply the crescendo.

The guy is basically a foot in the grave:...

No. There is widespread public support for many gun control reforms.

Gun manufacturers, the NRA, and Republicans like money too much.

There are literally a dozen ways to do better than Allen Park.

Some people here appear to be throwing out city names. Like I cannot fathom how Canton or Livonia would make the list, either. And...

Potemkin transit. Bomb it and the Qdoggle.

She's making a career and name for herself by being incendiary. She plays right into Trump and the Republicans' hands, too. Not without reason. I'm a liberal and she scares the shit out of me.

I know we talk about valuing the built environment and that people once viewed Victorian homes with the same disdain we hold for buildings like this...but I feel like this place was a bona fide dump....

Cool!

I like the addition of the Saudi princes in rendering of the outdoor banquet area.

I see the merits of both sides, but the big takeaway is don't look to Mitch Albom of all people for substantive policy.

Take his writing: "There’s a reason people do things in the dark. Often,...

I seriously in all honesty hate to be this guy, but:

A couple observations:

In Detroit, supply for homes outstrips demand. Over one in five homes is currently vacant.

Given the eras of...

These numbers are useful in not only understanding that Michigan malaise but that of the Rust Belt. You could even extrapolate it to understand the phenomenon of Trumpism. I mean, things have...

It isn't indicated in this article but they often result in a higher number of accidents but far fewer fatal accidents - more side-swipes at lower speeds.

The Ann Arbor intersection [[technically...

.

There's literally a police station on seven mile. Maybe the assholes are the problem and not the police.

The parking lot out front is really what grinds my gears. If it had Woodward frontage or a small setback that stretch could be truly vibrant. The parking lots - blocks away from acres of parking...

No, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I know Chicago cops. They don't pursue anymore. They don't want to end up like that cop. He did something stupid, but fleeing is stupider. In...

Nothing, really.



What in God's name are you talking about? As if 35 years ago a race started that Detroit wasn't made aware of? That isn't how this works. Minneapolis got their shit...

I wouldn't say "extremely" low or "severely" flawed, but perhaps could use improvement. I think you can still take a fair amount from it, especially that in most categories that most people would...

I second Ye Old Tap Room. It has an incredible prohibition history and is so much more interesting than those sterile chains. It is an interesting cross between an English pub and an American dive:...

Yeah but it should be a decent product. The Freep has been terrible for almost 20 years.

I subscribe to the NYT and the Ann Arbor News, but when I lived in the Detroit I actually dropped the...

It's a parking shuttle for him. His slaves have to park in far-flung areas and then work 12 hour days 6 to 7 days per week. So I think he's got what he wanted, for all he cares.

This speaks to desirability, and supply and demand, more than anything else.

I don't think anyone wants to end up with the $900K median of SF but those are some depressed home values. These...

I'm surprised how old that house is. It must have been one of the few structures for miles when it was built.

I think the "best in" categories are actually more interesting than the "overall." You can more readily weigh what is more important to you.

And really, when you reflect on those categories:...

This. I love the NYT and am left-of-center and also white, so, "PRIVILEGE ALERT" or whatever is en vogue now, but I always questioned this. Some of it is way, way, way too bleeding heart.
...

He couldn't resist a swipe at Rashida Tlaib, though. He had to characterize her as "anti-development" rather than just say she's right. Snore. Wish he'd never have hitch-hiked up from Kentucky.

Defend your work, professor. I'd like to see a citation for that.

Even if that were accurate, Bush had 8 years to undo or modify whatever Clinton did but was too busy getting us mired in...
