They make over $100,000? To quote our President Obama: "At a certain point, you've made enough." It's time to "Spread the wealth around." Us poor folks would love to be paid $75,000 to live the life...

Don't know about that, but a week or two ago I was doing work in the Taylor area and there was a helicopter that circled around Telegraph and Eureka road for an hour.

Can anyone shed light on...

My last comment is that reading this post makes it clear why Detroit cannot put it's problems behind it. It doesn't want to. This isn't just about one park on the far edge of the city named Eliza...

Yeah, that evil guy wants to actually invest millions of dollars into a property in the city of Detroit. We all know that's a very profitable venture with very little risk right? The fact is, given...

Lol--I love parks. And you don't have to tell me the benefits of stormwater management. But all of the benefits, even aesthetic and psychological, of vegetated land can be attained in any of the...

Ha, nice dig--but at 250 acres this parcel isn't a neighborhood park even if it was well taken care of. It's regional in nature. There are other regional parks that would benefit from consolidated...

Detroitnerd:

Greenfields are cheeper. So what? Those evil capitalists who want to build things that people use. Dastardly! I'm on a different plane of thinking here. Everyone presumably...

Isn't Detroit mostly a green field at this point given the nearly 40 acres of land that is vacant and overgrown with wild grasses and brush? Detroit needs to centralize and consolidate property and...

Frankly, it could also be that grass grows better here than many other places. Grass likes rain, sun, and cool weather. We have all three in good amounts. Warm season grasses just don't grow as...

I'd like to see an aerial photo of whatever park is down there and the so called "evil" intrusion into it.

But Suburban Detroit hasn't had a strong Urban Detroit for generations and yet they've done beautifully: Troy, Birmingham, Royal Oak, Ferndale, & Dearborn all have bustling financial, entertainment,...

Really? Because it seems to me it's Hertel's group and not DDOT that is ready to start construction this year. Yet M1 is getting in DDOT's way? Further, DDOT has visions of sugar plums now that...

I did read the article, but I won't post it. However, I can summarize what I read this morning about the quicken move--and that was basically nothing. There was no concrete reporting on it, just...

Detroit is rigged the same as every other city in the nation except for urban cores or glitzy expensive "new urbanist" communities that most of us can't dream of affording anyway [[and do you really...

Did you ever think to man it up and tone your volume down a notch? This isn't the Wild West here, you have to be considerate of your neighbors.

If big box stores could sell more American products I would see nothing inherently wrong in them. They provide convenient one stop shopping, tend to employ large numbers of people for similar wages...

Fish die of viruses frequently. They catch bacteria and viruses just like humans do.

Nice turn of phrase, but my point is--"the public" to government officials isn't you or me, it's a cadre of well connected politicians and their buddies who are vying for bloated contracts with...

Wow. It sounds like some would be ecstatic if the almighty government took the bridge from the Morouns as eminent domain--and simply because they're just too damn good at running it! Their crimes? ...

Walk to the store and buy your daily paper--they are still there.

But for quality...how about a "Crains Detroit Daily" expanded beyond business coverage? ;) Can I dream?

Privatization? It's simply called "business" to most people. These days it's all too apparent that only private companies, i.e., NOT the government, are accountable to anyone. GM and Chrysler are...

The latest controversy seems to hinge on this environmental impact study. Since the privately funded rail doesn't appear to need this study, it seems like the loggerhead will be who pays for it. ...

Many people are posting how these canopies look cheap, probably won't last long, or will get dirty. I don't believe any of that, however, do they look to anyone like they are going to provide...

The jets were flying really low over downtown last summer as they practiced their fly over for the boat races. I was on the top of a major downtown parking garage and had a perfect view of them as...

A simple life for me would be to give me cars I want at a price I can afford. Do that and people will buy them. People don't want to drive glorified wheelchairs with motors. People don't want...
