    Agreed. Toronto's version of this comes to mind. Tourists [[yours truly included) take photos there all the time.

    Deisign opinions aside, Detroit's version is a textbook missed opportunity.

    This is how it works in the NFL unfortunately. The day a team's season ends they can go looking for new coaching/management. Huge interference for playoff teams.

    CNBC’s findings cast doubt on Target’s explanation for the store closures and raise questions about whether the company’s announcement was designed to advance its legislative agenda and obscure poor...

    Those really look hideous but that's where we are these days it seems. Most new apartment buildings are the same. Unfortunate. Hopefully once we get to a point where development can sustain itself...

    I'm guessing this has a lot to do with Platform's exposure in the WeWork bankruptcy. I read somewhere they are the 3rd or 4th largest creditor. I could be wrong about how high on the list they are,...

    Anyone who watched that game knows the Lions got absolutely whupped yesterday in all phases. The Ravens won the hell out of that game.

    That strip of Warren is mostly in shambles. Will take a lot of capital and effort to bring it back. Could this area be a candidate for some type of tax incentive to spur development? Maybe some...

    Forgive my ignorance here, but I am genuinely curious:

    Has wind generated power fallen out in favor of solar?

    Actually I think Royce has a point here. The "affordable housing %" gets tacked on to every downtown development in order to capture tax credits/government subsidies. Not every development should...

    Spot on.

    This isn't an apples to apples comparison [[we don't have the population or the immigration that Toronto has) but how can cities like Toronto throw up 50 plus story condo buildings in the...

    Gilbert's companies gave sweetheart deals to retail/restaurants for the first 5 years in an effort to get many to move in. That initial 5 year term is ending in a lot of cases and many businesses are...

    From what I can see, the bulk of Brush Park's residential is not completed yet. I am amazed how long it takes to build 4 story structures. Seems like it's been going on forever.

    Also, there are...

    Carolina's coaching staff did an excellent job in the film room this week. They used trap blocking plays to exploit the Lions defensive line. Record setting rushing attack. Film study is important....

    That's a pretty concise evaluation of Jared Goff. Plus, This year's QB class isn't that great. I wouldn't have said this at the beginning of the year, but as long as Goff provides average or better...

    Wow!! Very close! Question: since the numbers are so tight, does that mean redistricting worked? I'm genuinely curious.

    Agreed. They should have just stayed as "Washington Football Team". They had some pretty cool branding things.

    Either way, still better than...

    Unless there's a miracle in the second half of the season, Campbell and his coaching staff are gone too. They weren't hired by Holmes. He will look to put his stamp on the team, completely. Plus...

    Cowboys' defense is really good and it looks like their starting QB will be back in time for the Lions game. The Dolphins similarly have been decimated by injury, and are also projected to get a ton...

    Definitely better in January when it's basically the only game in town.

    Also, I think auto shows as they currently exist are very antiquated and need to evolve. That said, I'm not sure how to...

    Brick & mortar retail is DYING across the globe, and it's never coming back. Time to figure out some other uses for ground floor space in residential developments.
