You're talking about a city that ignored its own Register of Historic Sites in order to throw money at Mike Ilitch to demolish one of his properties. It's a miracle that nobody from the City of Detroit or DDA was injured by all the tripping over themselves at Ilitch's request.

Little throwaway regulations like Zoning certainly aren't going to stand in the way of Detroit giving Ilitch everything his little heart desires.
