and land is there to be built on...
One thing about posts in a thread like this one is the sense of timeline and measurable goals [[pardon the geek speak).
It WILL take a long, long time to develop/redevelop most of the projects folks are talking about.
What needs to be done is come up with REALISTIC goals for say September 25, 2019, September 25, 2024, and then say September 25, 2034. That way folks can't play games by changing the 'expectations game' [[e.g., set them so high that a great project suffers against unrealistic expectations).
I have been posting here that I'd like to see the arena, and the connected buildings, the few housing buildings adjacent to the arena, a hotel at Woodward/Henry, an office building at Woodward/Temple, an office building on Woodward near the Fox, and several housing buildings at Comerica.
If most of that got build by September 25, 2019 I'd be very pleased. That would be a near 'miracle' given where Detroit was 12 or 24 months ago.
Then I'll work on my 10-year plan...
