Next Detroit Neighborhood Initiative - gone due to lack of funding, now. Big promises of neighborhood stabilization to a wide range of neighborhooods [[from Brightmoor to EEV). Not much came out of it.

Detroit Land Bank - ??? You tell me.

I've long discovered that these are just to advance the careers of those in power or create salaries for their friends and family. That gravy train is over though, since there's no more money left to steal.
Poobert you are so right!!

How about Stadiums? Townhouses? Corktown infill? Riverfront walkways? Bike lanes? Transit Centers? Campus Martius? WSU housing? New hotels, casinos, B&Bs? Expanded DIA, Science, and Charles Wright Museums? Expansion of WSU, CCS, and DMC campuses?

Also these are not planning just whimsy to make us think there is an actual plan!
