Grand Blvd neighborhood will have to vacant the area within 60 days for a private developer to build 5,000 new homes and urban farming projects.

Detroit Police went into those near wrecked homes and raided those who refuse this eminent domain proposals.
"My granparents used to raise me here. I hate to see my home gone" said Javon Wheeler is long time resident on La Salle St near Clairmount St.

Check out Downtown Detroit! I see 4 new huge skyscrapers in the city center, much taller than GM Rencen. Could it lose its title as Detroit's tallest..soon??
Haha. Are you kidding me? They're still going to be trying to figure out what neighborhoods need to be involved in the rightsizing and trying to fight off Matty in court. That vision is more like 2100. We will all be long gone.
