    All that is happening now is that GM, the city and county have been sugar coating this.

    GM has ended up screwing Detroit BIG TIME. Back when they bought the Ren Cen... Ford had 1,700 employees which they moved to Dearborn to make room for GM HQ. They made it their HQ, everyone else left... and now they are leaving the city with an empty shell, but it is all being sugar coated.

    Looks like the former Warren mayor Jim Fouts is getting his wish.

    GM CEO Mary Barra is no friend of Detroit.
    Wasn't Mary Barea asked earlier this year if GM was going to leave the RenCen and she said no?

    Could only find Barra saying this in May 2022: "Right now, our plans are to be in the RenCen, we've updated many of the floors. But, um, I think we are focused...we don't occupy the whole RenCen, we're a couple of towers right now. But that's our home, that's what we're creating into open space. The HR team just moved to their new floor last week when I was there...into a new open workspace. So that's our home."
