They're not undocumented, or illegal. They are coming here in a legal manner, following the proper rules and proceedures. You're conflating illegal immigrants with refugees.

From a Congressional...

They're not undocumented illegal immigrants, they're legal asylum seekers. They're waiting for court dates to determine their status, and if they're declined then they get sent back.

This isn't a...

I mean we were all thinking the same thing while reading the Diary of Ann Frank in school.

"Ugh, thank god the Nazis took care of her. Better dead in a concentration camp than living in Boston...

QLine operating costs are $10 million a year for 15 minute headways. A streetcar circulator should really have more like 5 minute headways, and let's say that would cost $25 million per year.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the design.

I like screens in general and I think the screen is a good solution for the problem, but I think the designs they've had have had this kind of tacky...

A metro line down Woodward to New Center would probably be cost neutral. The line would start at a new station at Rosa Parks Transit Center, and would go up Cass to New Center, jogging over to John R...

For specific cost numbers, it can be hard to get them because each project is unique, and because costs are the accumulation of a lot of small things rather than one generic number. But it's possible...

The Montreal REM is relevant to Detroit mostly for two reasons.


The first is that an excellent metro system can be built at a low cost in a mostly suburban North American context by:

That's what I'm trying to say. Target wasn't the main draw. The developer is City Club which is a national apartment building developer. They don't do office buildings or shopping malls or retail...

Go look at Edmunton, Canada in Google Maps. Almost their entire metro area is a grid of roads like ours, with low density suburban sprawl and strip malls. They have about 2 square miles that are...

It's frustrating to hear you repeat this. They are not building a Target with some other stuff attached to it. They are building a residential development, with several commercial spaces on the...

Since the turn lanes are so short, they don't have space for very many cars to line up, so they did the double turn lanes. I personally think double turn lanes, both getting into them, and also...

The tower is going to be an Edition Hotel [[https://www.editionhotels.com/). I don't remember if it was explicitly stated, but the condos are presumably Edition Residences, since that's how these...

That part of it is anodized aluminum, in a bronze appearance. The terra cotta is the vertical white parts on the hotel tower.

Bedrock's Detroit Free Press Building has 100 units and only ten are available right now [[normal for an apartment building). Book Tower has over 200 units and only 80 are left, and the building just...

The FTA has their transit agency profiles, but the most recent year is only 2021. https://www.transit.dot.gov/ntd/transit-agency-profiles I'll be curious to see more recent years as well.

If you have the first name of someone, is it ok to search that name on a database and see if you can find someone there who matches the description and circumstances of the crime?

If you have a...

There's already a park a mile down Jefferson named after Ralph Bunche, although I'm glad to have just learned about who that actually is.

King gave his speech in Cobo Arena after marching down Woodward. Hart Plaza hadn't even started construction until over a decade after the speech. It was empty land used for parking. So King walked...

Right now the glass is up to about half of the tower's eventual height.

Currently, $776 million of the $823 million has been programmed, meaning that it's been...

The people you take transit with are the people who live and work in the same areas as you do. If you have such low regard for your neighbors you should move.

Those numbers also don't account for the way different areas have different levels of government handling different responsibilities. Buffalo has a regional transit agency which covers both public...

Except that the public here rides public transportation all the time when they're away at college, on vacation, and on business trips.

The people are the same, but the quality of the public...

The more you look at transit the more you see that places with good transit have good transit everywhere, regardless of density. In the rest of the developed world, even small cities have frequent...
