The article touches on how important it is to have a downtown daytime work population in order to sustain retail, malls etc.
I personally think we're beyond ready.

Interesting article. They mention the 1% 'earnings' tax. People I know who pay the Detroit 'earnings' tax really hate it. Perhaps if Detroit cleans its act up and starts delivering value for its 1 1/2%, that'll change. 1% is a lot.Quote:

No, Gribbs didn't lock horns with the police. In fact, he was instrumental in them forming STRESS. Guess again. I think it's pretty easy.Quote:
