I don't agree. Why else would developers build there if there was no demand for products and services?

Hall Road has been planned out for a while by the State. It's had a huge ROW, and I would imagine one day they may consider extending the M-59 freeway out to I-94.

The state's growing population [[back in the day), white flight, and people wanting more space have driven all this.

I currently live near 10\Mound, and this has all effected the area I live in. Universal Mall is dead, and the next two closest malls I don't go to because they're too trashy.

I too have plans to move further out, to probably Royal Oak\Clawson\Troy, but I don't ever want to live near M-59, that's too far away from my job in Detroit.
