I cannot imagine anyone arguing that, Cliffy, I'm only concerned with HOW they achieved it. What process did they go through to get permission to demolish, what happens to the 'recycled' products of these demolitions, and who has control and right to profit off the land afterward.
Welcome to the board.
Cheers

Where does everyone think the next area will be? I agree with one of the comments that the area [[at least right next to Eastern Market) should be utilized for large-scale farming.

Someone probably had suggested Pulte Group tear down the remaining abandoned structures on the eastside and that is when Bing pulled the plug on them. Bing administration had always blown good chances in cleaning up the city

The grandson Pulte is CEO of Pulte Capital Partners, a private equity firm that is also based in Bloomfield Hills. In an e-mail Thursday night, he said he couldn’t comment on any report of a headquarters move as no one from his family is still with PulteGroup.
“But Pulte Capital — my firm — and its subsidiaries with over 200 people will continue to stay and grow in Michigan,” Bill Pulte said. “Our Pulte family is committed to Detroit.”
I suppose I could have posted this in the new thread on Pulte leaving Detroit, but I'm trying to keep this to the right thread, thus this bump.Quote:

Sources tell me the next site is in Brightmoor.
So what's happened in this area since the summer? Demolition? Construction? Anything?
Thank you for my best laugh today!Quote:
