By asphalting them the lots will be perceived as permanent. Nobody will question why they haven't done shit with their 'parking' since it is permanent.

A few inches of ashpalt better helps hide...

For all the people that will wail about how horrible this is and bitch about the city - while commiserating for these officers and complaining about the city, I ask one simple question:

What are...

Nope,he doesn't car about Snyder, justice, Flint or anyone else. He cares about the publicity for his run for Governor

Two points:

1. Fouts is a scumbag, always has been but his base is the seniors in the community. They won't be phased by this.
2. I have a new found respect for Bham

Just an observation. Nobody would ever think to laugh during hurricanes and point out how we don't have weather like that in Michigan but it is socially acceptable to laugh about blizzards when...

I always love seeing the 'It's so funny that you got a lot of snow and it is warm here' posts while reading articles of about a couple people that died while shoveling.

People are just so...

What is even more impressive is that charters are not required to take in special ed students, ESL students or any other kids that they deem 'undesirable' or that could impact their testing.

No, not really. Most counties have various levels of income. Macomb has zero urban/city life and the majority of the population is concentrated in either older subs or McMansion subs. There is no...

It is sucky compared to most suburbs as well.I'm not comparing it strictly to some hipster version of Detroit but the myriad options of living in SE Michigan.

Overall, give me one thing about AH...

The reality is that a safe campus and surrounding area will make the University more desireable and potentially improve enrollment in the future.

Consider it an investment in the University

It is a sucky ex urb with no character and no reason to go there with a sports team. In the future, it will be a sucky ex urb with no character and no reason to go there without a sports team.

At least this time they can't blame Detroit for their shitty infrastructure

That is a very long winded way of saying, "I only care about myself, the greater good [[especially those in need) can fuck off."

Good for you and your little selfish community.

I also see that...

You do realize that there is a big difference to wants, needs and desires between 1961 and 2016, right?

I've worked in multiple buildings downtown and in office plazas in Southfield, Troy and...

Oh no, without you who else will tell us to ignore the 20-30 years of Ilitch's 'development' past and really, really believe it'll all come to fruition this​ time

How about we focus on what he's done: Stadium? Check. Parking decks? Check. New development and addressing their blighted properties? Not so much.

Well Steve doesn't believe any of that since Ilitch is going to go big beyond the stadium and parking this time.

So you have the time to research every current proposal, Ilitch and Gilbert's net worth but aren't interested in reading or learning about his history involving other large proposals that failed and...

The appalling thing about the article is that the writer and many of the taggers listed won't live in the overly tagged, destructed areas but will happily decry the improvements.

And, regardless...

Honestly, EMU Steve, you have made every single discussion about anything Ilitch unreadable.

I know you aren't as stupid as your arguments so please be honest about your real end game. Because...

Honestly, I'd like to go but MDOT has proven time and time again that resident input is nothing more than a formality.

They'll do whatever old 1950s plans they dust up tell them to do.
I'd like...

There'd be no historic buildings left if there were 50 Mike Ilitches

I understand and don't disagree with your sentiment however we seem to have a lot of people in metro Detroit that would like to move into the city but are waiting for others to improve it first.
...

Wow, this thread is already on track to set a record amount of idiotic concepts on DetroitYes.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully they'll finally prove many of us wrong.
My first reaction is that they'll pull the permit, put up a fence, delay, winter comes, fence comes down before spring, permit...
