His 8 principles really got to me:
- Everyone is welcome in our city.
- Detroit won’t support development if it displaces current Detroit residents.
- The city will fight economic segregation by pushing jobs into all neighborhoods.
- Blight removal is critical.

- Those who stayed will have a voice.
- Jobs and opportunities are available first to Detroiters.
- The riverfront is for everyone
I'm not sure what response that Coleman A Young Jr. will give to this, but if he wants to make it pass August, he better have a good one.
