Detroit City Council nixes funding for new police headquarters

[NorthEndere]

I honestly can't believe folks are against the plan to consolidate public safety into one location, not on some grounds that it won't really save money, but purely for the fact of real estate/preservation. 1300 Beaubien is done; it's been done for years. It's usage as a jailing facility for these modern days is through. The city would have to totally gut that thing and rebuild it to bring it up to modern standards

Real estate and preservation concerns are definitely legitimate; I'm just surprised that seem to be forming the very basis of opposition to the project from some of you, here.

Totally unsound, and problems with mold, etc.
Plans drawn to replace the school, there was not much opposition,
the new building looked to be so much nicer to study and work in....
and not much mentionat the time of solutions to restore the school.
Now its 1300 Beaubian's turn again
