I was on vacation and I don't look at Detroit sites while on vacation because that would ruin my mood. Also, I didn't say anything about blowing it up and starting over, those are your words and...

Just so you know, I relied on mass transit for 8 years in a big city and loved it but I am simply not convinced that this region needs it or knows how to pull it off. One thing I'm pretty certain of...

If only we lived in a city that was growing, instead of shrinking, we wouldn't have to participate in conversations like this we would simply have the problem of figuring out out how the hell to move...

I am very serious. You mentioned that most cities without mass transit that are growing are under 500k residents so mass transit isn't needed. I guess you're not much for trends because the way...

My guess is that there is no guarantee that the city grows with a new transit system but let me ask what are the most rapidly growing cities in the U.S. and what are their transit systems like? Are...

Ok fine but you can't justify the expense until the city is repopulated. The inbound, outbound and contained number of commuters in Chicago and LA are so much higher that there's no sense comparing...

One difference is that those other cities don't have huge zones that have been depopulated and many of those cities don't have our sprawl either so their systems simply make more sense and are easier...

I love it when Dyes'ers bitch about Detroit being unfairly stereotyped and then they go out and completely stereotype and judge the people of the surrounding burbs. The funniest part is that they are...

A few more years of the occasional 15 or 20 story building and before we know it Detroit will give Grand Rapids a real run for their money as the premier downtown area in Michigan...well unless Ann...

Here's Deadspin's take http://deadspin.com/pistons-to-abandon-perfectly-good-arena-move-in-with-r-1789280893

No strong disagreement with what you just said other than to add that the area around the new arena has the potential to be nicer than the area around Jacob's Field if all goes well over the next...

I hope you didn't just compare this location to the area surrounding Wrigley Field because the 2 are just so different in so many ways. If you want me to think Jacob's Field then fine I'll hear you...

The selling point of those condos was access to Downtown and sporting events and the appeal today is access to Downtown and sporting events....if someone was laughing then they're probably laughing...

Downtown Detroit doesn't have very much true class A Office space but my guess is if he shuffled around some of the groups he forced down there and maybe was willing to lease from people who don't...

This should help move it closer to reality http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/11/18/motown-museum-expansion-theater-ford/94049582/

I can't wait to see who MLS chooses in these upcoming rounds of expansion. Detroit is still a contender because MLS needs the potential TV audience that Metro Detroit provides but then you have teams...

I assume this was a joke, especially considering how the rest of the state feels about Detroit.

I realize Southfield is far from its peak but it's also very far from abandoned.

Fair enough, time will tell.

You mention that Detroit is still well below price levels of other cities of comparable size. Why would people pay similar prices to other cities to live in Detroit when Detroit is not as desirable...

I'm sure Smokey is sitting by a pool in LA filled with regret that he didn't act earlier on real estate in Detroit and good luck with that "frenzy." Even if Detroit experiences a comeback I'm sure...

Exciting news and that area needs it. How the area has gone this long without a grand museum dedicated to local music is beyond me. Also, I'm still not the biggest proponent of Dan's trolley but hey...

I did miss your sarcasm and hey man have a lovely evening but maybe I'll send you some Alice In Chains for your lonely underground workout....yes I'm laughing about this because I realize how silly...

Look I didn't say Belle Isle was slammed with people because it's not. In fact it was pretty quiet during my walk there this Sunday at 11am. I just prefer it to the cut and yeah it only took a couple...
