    Dan Gilbert's done more for downtown Detroit in the past 5 years than Ilitch has and he did it all without a multi-page spread in the Freep of his "bold plan". I get why people are enamored of "bold plans" but great cities aren't generally the result of someone's "bold plan". It's the incremental progress that happens building by building and block by block that has turned around downtown Detroit.

    Gilbert has indeed done more in the last 5 years, but he's had TONS of multi-page spreads about his bold plans. Gilbert is the king of hype and PA. If this were Gilbert's project he would have had a press conference and more for an announcement like this.
