    Highly doubtful. For one, it's not a massively larger property than MCS. But more importantly, MCS was about using artisanal methods to restore an architectural gem, spare no expense. Like, literally...

    Any particular reason why, or are you just generally down on development in Detroit?

    As has already been thoroughly explained, the developers have all the financing in place. Unless we see another...

    The problem is suburbanites. SoM still has remote work policies in place, and suburbanites don't want to drive 30+ minutes to the office.

    I'm sure this is the B.S. reason that was given. And had I been with the city and reviewed their maintenance of traffic plan, I would've shut that down immediately by telling them to build...

    Lol, power outages are so much worse in the suburbs than the city. Yes, good joke.

    My wife works for DTE, and we live 2 miles east of downtown. I for one am glad that she doesn't have to reverse...

    The Q-Line in its current form will never go to 8-mile or Pontiac. This is a streetcar system; for those distances, you would need proper light rail.

    The fact that a national retailer like Target can't be convinced to have stores in both locations is the real travesty.

    You could build "urban scale" Targets in Midtown, Corktown, Downtown, and...

    Lol, blast from the past. I ended up buying that unit, the one that James Harrington Walker originally owned, and we completed a major renovation restoration last year. Found copies of the original...

    Tell me you're not a regular pedestrian without telling me you're not a regular pedestrian. I do make this crossing at least once a week, and depending on traffic and signal timing, it's a PITA. I...

    I think there are some valid reasons to consider legalizing prostitution, although I'm not currently in favor of it.

    As a Detroiter, by issue isn't with the crime itself...whatever. It's with the...

    So...maybe a dumb question about sidewalk access around the site...and perhaps this has been asked previously. Why didn't Bedrock leave space for pedestrian access around the outside of the site? For...

    The Aretha is a major impediment. It bisects the Riverwalk, and is a huge barrier for pedestrians.

    The music is also terrible. I don't begrudge anyone whatever crap they want to listen to. But I...

    I'm literally lol'ing at your comparison of this crap heap to one of the European cathedrals of centuries past...but thank you for the Sunday morning chuckle.

    I'd be fine with the Aretha moving. It's blocking the RiverWalk, and the music at that facility has gotten progressively worse over the past decade...I live just up the street, and while I don't...

    Probably even higher than that. Unless you're talking about 3am or something...I've lived here for 5 years and I can count on one hand the number of people I've seen intentionally blow a red light.
