I live next door and love the area. Just took some newbies on a tour today that included a walk through Greektown, a People Mover ride, a stop for a coney and then a walk down Woodward to the...

People Mover, cut through the RenCen to the Riverwalk and walk upriver to the carousel.

Well the neighborhood is LP, Jean Rivard.

I moved to Lafayette Park in March and LOVE IT! Rent 935 a month and it includes water, heat and air. PM me for more details as I get a $400 referral bonus too!

This. +1

I have to drive the Lodge out to Southfield every morning and it is jaw dropping how poorly lit the city is.

I moved into Lafayette Park last week. I did my homework and love my decision. Now to find a job down here and put my car away. Detroit needs people like you to believe in it and contribute to...

I'm 44 and single and just moved into Lafayette Park last weekend from Ypsilanti. So far so good. I can throw a rock and hit the Greektown Casino.

For me, the benefits of living here outweigh...

+1 Moving to LP next week!!!!

I'm moving there this spring. We'll be neighbors! I've investigated the area extensively and love everything it has to offer.

Can't wait to get down there!!

I'm voting for the Eat Em Up Tigers guy.

Yes! I'd vote for them.

It may be. From his recent comments, I'm not even sure he is going to run for re-election. The next mayor needs to be someone with Bing's vision, that can find ways to work with the city council...

There is nothing left because agencies and people like the library, school board, ex-mayors and ex-city council people are all skimming off the top and serving themselves and friends and not the...

Yes, getting valuable land back on the tax rolls at quickly as possible should be the objective. The city council doesn't get that. The council gets their power from their control and they don't...

I have a completely crazy idea for the Kronk Gym area. I'm looking for someone that needs to boost their art portfolio, that will see my vision and be able to draw out my idea from a few different...

+1! This was exactly my thought.

The larger point is the city needs to maximize what it can from the value of the this property. This should not be low-income, subsidized housing.

I actually would believe that NO income people are the squatters etc moving into homes like this. We are talking about low-income. A single mom with a couple of kids, cleaning rooms at the...

Here is some low-income housing.

$100 for a house. Will it need work? Yes. If we define low-income as...

Seems to me she is the real problem.

I do agree with most of what you said, but I also think she was misled. I have no doubt to the character issues you described. It sounds to me like this agency needs to be reeled in and the...

Detroit does have enough low-income housing. If you have a low-income, Detroit is a place you can actually afford a home. The city council is what is really holding the city back.

Let a...

Yes it was. I totally feel for her. Reading between the lines, I believe this group buys homes from the city to give to women like her, but something didn't happen with this particular house. She...

The first step is to clear the land. That is what this accomplishes. Heck, if I had the money I'd propose a mix of retail/restaurants and 8-10 story residential. This is a large enough plot of...

This may be true, but who knows if a few developers went to Bing and asked about the area. Just because no proposals were forwarded and approved, doesn't mean that there aren't any in the hopper. ...
