Wayne County just got a lot more leverage in the negotiation. It will be interesting to see which side blinks first.

Their sole purpose in life? How arrogant and presumptive of you to assume that anyone exists merely to ENTERTAIN you. What they do is their profession. It isn't their sole purpose in life. They...

heavy rail isn't part of the transit plan other than an Ann Arbor to Detroit line along existing rail infrastructure. Heck, other the Q-line, nobody is even suggesting light rail as an option.

The argument that metro Detroit lacks density or concentration to support comprehensive regional transit is simply nonsense to me. Even after 60 years of population decline, Metro Detroit has...

I don't believe the census has that information. I was all over their American Factfinder area searching for it. The best I could do was data on the commuting habits of workers. 96.8% of the 1.6...

Well, according to the language of the RTA plan, they claim their plan can serve 1.2 million people and provide reasonable access to over 900,000 jobs in Metro Detroit.

You are quoting cars per adult. Some homes have multiple vehicles in the home. One for each parent. Plus, cars used by teenage drivers that aren't adults count as an additional car for their...

We don't know if it overstates the issue or understates the issue. You cannot say with any certainty and neither can I. However, with 50% of the US population living in surburban areas, it is a...

And you are disregarding the immense cost of building additional capacity on existing roads. MDOT is going to spend $3 billion over the next 15 years to MAYBE widen just two stretches of I-75 and...

The I-275 job is also not a reconstruction project. It's a concrete inlay. There is a big difference. You must keep in mind that road agencies have a vast toolbox of maintenance and rehabilitation...

I think your "well over 90%" number is VERY inaccurate.

According to a study released in 2014 by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, 9.2% of US households did not own a...

Your $1,000,000 per route mile number isn't even close. Not even by a long shot.

A typical concrete reconstruction is closer to $2,000,000 per LANE mile, not mile. The typical cross section of...

I'm not going to argue against the fact that Mr. I is cheap. That being said, the economic situation needs to be understood. Sure, we would all have loved to see that area get redeveloped at some...

Yeah, I meant to say right field and had a bit of a brain fart. Left field would be way too problematic for all the reasons mentioned.

As for making it a year round spot, having people live...

Exactly. One of the big gripes about downtown stadiums, convention centers, etc is that they are seasonal/limited use mega blocks that sit empty most of the time and add nothing to the every day...

Something I would like to see at Comerica Park that could make the site a bit more of a year round site are some apartments beyond left field and center field. Here in Lansing, they are just about...

I just spent a few days in Atlanta and I was blown away with how interesting and well utilized their Centennial Olympic Park is. There is a restaurant, a small amphitheater, a playground, water...

Shoot! That's just pocket change to him, right?

Well, All they have to do is build something higher than the 1800 feet of CN Tower in Toronto and we will be all set.

The design itself has nothing to do with the social issues. Be it a towers, row houses, whatever. The issue was concentrated poverty. Wherever poverty is concentrated, problems occur. The fact...

City did what it had to do to maintain the property as the owner at that point. By the time it was demolished, Hudson's was a death trap waiting to happen. My dad was DFD working at Squad 2 behind...

What if the Jail was moved to the area behind the Fox? I'm not sure the Illitches would go for it, but there appears to be enough open land available there in theory.

Gilbert didn't create any jobs. Increased demand for the services Lear provides is what created those jobs.

All Gilbert did was purchase and upgrade the space that those jobs will now be housed...

You may be talking about my great-grandfather. My dad's father's side of the family were Jews that emigrated from Poland just before he was born. The only things I know about his dad [[my...

The point of the original graphic was to point out just how absurdly expensive Soho is. It actually compared it to many cities throughout the country including Detroit, Cleveland, and Memphis.
