It is like living in a half finished neighborhood in the suburbs. People only do live in half finished subs. when they are assured further development will happen. A single developer/builder or...

I second the Cass Corridor. It is conveniently placed between Downtown, and Wayne State/ Midtown. Lots of space, vacant land, easy access to Woodward, and the highways.

A marijuana district [[if regulated carefully) would make Detroit once more a destination for suburbanites. People would travel to Cass Corridor. The city itself is very liberal already concerning...

I'm going to start this thread with something of a disclaimer: I mean this thread from an entirely economic standpoint.

With Cass Corridor [[Southern Midtown: with Martin Luther King Blvd to the...

I never realized the disparity in funding from the state level. New lanes? Where are they expanding? "Rush hour" in Detroit is a far cry from actual rush hours, you just go slower on 75 around 430....

Cost and the how smooth the convention or event will go are important. Look at Cobo's track record: this year a fire burned down the Audis at the Auto Show, last year the roof leaked forcing people...

I don't think a train connect to downtown from the airport is as important to conventions as you think. It maybe convenient to some, but Americans drive. If I go to Cleveland I don't look up mass...

I am more than aware of Wayne State. It is a great institution but the campus population could be far more to optimize its economic impact on Midtown [[compared to the other big players: MSU &...

Yeah, but I'm talking thousands of students, not small "extensions" or classes [[which have merit), there's the space for sure.

Why are all the big auto supplier's corporate hqs in the suburbs? I don't think any suppliers have their offices Downtown. I'm not talking auto supplier plants, I don't think its sensible to think...

There's a lot of talk about a new Red Wings stadium and JLA's fate, but with the Pistons up for sail is there any way they could move back to the city? Would they ever build a new stadium? Be bought...

I was in downtown Flint the other day and was walking around U-M Flint. The university has had a substantial impact on the immediate area in Downtown Flint. I can see an additional university, a...

Wow, I've never seen so many tangents. Okay, in my opinion Light Rail in Detroit and the Metro area would just not be feasible. There is no density! The best options, Woodward, are some of the...

I know there are a handful in the city still. But a considerable amount are located in the burbs [[102.7 Mt Clemens, 98.7 Mt Clemens, 95.5 Farmington Hills, 105.1, and several I can't remember in...

What's at that Grand Blanc GM facility? Why don't they move them downtown? I'm sure they'll get some sum of incentives or tax breaks from it.

I always thinks it weird I'm listening to these stations in the city and they are always like Royal Oak! Detroit. Or Mt. Clemens! detroit. Or even a city that's just not exactly a hipster colony...

sorry about the rant. pick it apart.

Okay for these big box type stores is they rely not on the immediate area. i.e. the CBD's population is not the main issue, how many people live along Wacker in Chicago? Or any other center of any...

Okay, all I am saying is the large majority of UDM students do not leave campus unless they are in a car. I admire you, 6nois, for doing otherwise, but compared to Wayne's Midtown students, Mercy...

IMO, for the University District to see the renaissance that Midtown has experienced, the University of Detroit Mercy would need a sizable growth in campus population and that would require new...

6nois, I'm not sure how the campus held 900 students, considering the 800 last year was a strain on the system with three students to a room. Holden is definitely an issue or as residents call it...

Clarkston-Lake Orion. Quiet communities, good schools, parks, easy access to I-75.

I love how everyone is talking about something the have no idea about. I am a University of Detroit Mercy student, and live on campus in Shiple Hall. Our student resident population is around 750...
