Zoning likely didn't exist [[at least not in its modern form) when the train station and Roosevelt hotel were built.

When the city rolled out zoning for the first time they probably just slapped...

BRT arrives every 5-10 minutes and can carry insane volumes of people with less wear and tear on the roads. A bus that arrives every 30min is not BRT

Also cars cost 15-70k if you want something...

They have a skybridge to cobo so they'll be able to use that PM station

Probably but it's extremely close. Hard to tell from the photos but it looks like they've reached the final setback.

Typically when they reach a setback, there's a delay of a couple weeks while...

It's hard to say what constitutes a "level" at the very top few floors, but I think the floor plate for level 44 is laid [[based on the recently posted drone video).

My post on September 25 of...

The crushed stone is called riprap and it's better for marine life because it provides a spawning habitat.

It also absorbes wave action instead of just reflecting waves [[like a seawall).

Here is a diagram that seems to be accurate.

Level 37 is the first setback on the Woodward side, and it appears they are now framing in level 38 based on the latest drone video. They...

Has anyone heard anything at all about possible block building open dates or site tenants [[other than the edition hotel leak a while back)

Tax reform, as proposed by duggan, would increase taxes on vacant land and cut taxes on buildings [[there's a bit more nuance than that, but it's not super relevant here).

These higher taxes might...

From what I understand it has nothing to do with the district and everything to do with the fact that the Uniroyal site was underfunded [[no big donors aka ford) and an environmental disaster.

This project looks cool, but I checked out the developers website and it was filled with press releases for projects we got excited about pre-covid, and most of them never broke ground.

[QUOTE=Honky Tonk;634444]West Systems, S3?

Yep both! I certainly think there are risks and acknowledge that some people are allergic but I think this is more of a hazard to the installers that use...

Yep. The office is long gone and the hotel is almost finished!

My area of expertise is offering opinions on the internet. I also do a lot of wood working so epoxies are something I spend a decent amount of time around. I also had CIPP used in my own house

I'm...

I don't think it's that big of a deal. We're talking about epoxy [[or maybe polyester)- that's all this stuff really is.

Sure it might make people a little sick under direct exposure, but consider...

Yes

I drove by last night and noticed that they've started removing the plastic from the bottom story of the block building

I think you meant "beauty is in the eye of the beer holder"

Anyway, when are we supposed to have non-ceremonial shovels in the ground on this one?

Just announced yesterday at the state of the city that MCS will be occupied by Ford by July.

This is clearly a troll thread. Can the mods please lock it down?

That's not exactly apples to apples.

Since 1970[[ish) all new residential DTE lines have been installed underground. I would wager that the overwhelming majority of all housing in Vegas has been...

I wasn't able to attend, can you summarize what happened?

We had no idea how to get enough gas out of the ground, how to distribute it, or how to get it in places where people need it when gas cars first came out



Batteries on our current scale...

In typical Ilitch fashion, they're promising the world in order to get this passed. Nice to see the development of those big ugly lots in front of Comerica is at least on the radar.

Hopefully...

That's a bold statement. It might ease things a bit but contractors everywhere are pretty backed up

Indeed you are missing something - the three slow projects you mentioned are all Bedrock. They're pretty clearly oversubscribed right now so they're probably not spending the money as quickly as some...
