17 Story 'Collective on 5th' Ann Arbor Receives Criticism

I guess I am in the minority on this one. I hope and wish Ann Arbor would continue to be the quaint, charming, quirky college town that it has been for so many decades.

Trying to create a big city environment in Ann Arbor with these 15-20 story condo towers is just another consequence of the adjacent Detroit Metro Area's massive failure to create such an environment in the REAL big city of the State of Michigan - DETROIT.

I would prefer we build upwards in a concentrated area, where we can then concentrate services, rather than more sprawl out into the countryside. Ann Arbor is growing, housing prices keep climbing, demand is high. Build up, not out.
