Curious. What are your paying for rent, if you're renting? Total and per sq.ft? How much are you paying a month for auto/renters insurance? Do you use your Detroit address for auto insurance?

Comparing downtown Detroit to rental rates in other cities is illogical. This city is unlike any other major city downtown in America when you factor in safety, services, transportation, night...

There's definitely progress.

But also, a lot of these landlords know they can charge higher because of the Live Downtown incentives. So you have some 25 yr old who can afford X but knows he/she...

Thanks for the encouragement.

So I guess on that note - I'm happy to report an actual case of the long anticipated $2/ sq ft price point.

My renewal rate is at $1.92/ sq. ft.
BUT
I was...

I agree and disagree with your points.

Yes, people [[myself included) can no longer afford to live in the buildings we want to live in. To say we're not being priced out of the market isn't...

I agree about the Brewsters! I always thought they looked structurally sound enough - and you can't beat the location. Seemed like a no-brainer to market as a rehab opportunity.

I live downtown & moved to the area about 2.5 years ago. Can someone answer what happened to the boulevards down Washington Ave.? In old photographs I can see they had a strip of pavement or...

Weird. Ok, thanks, I believe that. I didn't see the signs, I just observed the happenings from a highrise [[knowing on-street parking is typically permitted where they were being towed). I'm guessing...

They were parked legally.

Does anyone know what's going on near Park/ Elizabeth/ Columbia? There's been a mass car towing operation over the last half hour or so [[accompanied by cop cars).

It's official.

In a response from Joel Anyim, the administrator at the Skillman Library, he confirms the library is on a temporary 5 day work week, Mon - Fri. Skillman library is not closing,...

lilpup - thanks. that helps somewhat.

As a new resident of Detroit, here's a completely sincere question: What would it take to have a complete overhaul of the Detroit Public Library system?

The powers that be are clearly inept at...

The Downtown Development Partnership [[DDP) wants to talk Woodward Light Rail and Transit Oriented Development [[TOD) with you, the people who live and work downtown.

Specifically, the DDP wants...

I agree completely! This is disappointing news to me.

I didn't ask inside because the branch was closed. I then tried to find info on the website, but couldn't. I tried again later and the website wouldn't even load.

Carey - did you confirm that...

I can't get it to work either.

$20 says if they had a fully-functioning and user-friendly website [[designed sometime after 1997) at least half of their issues would go away. That, and some proper...

I know! I recently moved to downtown Detroit and have enjoyed walking to this library over the past month. With the renovations at The David Whitney Building and the Broderick Tower, more downtown...

This is honestly infuriating. It's time to stage a coup at the library.

mpow - thanks for posting that article!

Yes, let's hope!

Does anyone have any info on this? I walked to drop off a book yesterday and noticed the sign on the door. I couldn't find any info on the Detroit Public Library website. I spoke to Malik Goodwin at...
