Agree 100%, this is not a positive move for the City, region, or GM for all the reasons you listed above.

Ford is getting a new signature campus in the city. A vibrant space that they'll own and...

This would be a godsend for Herman Keifer, which I fear will continue to rot and negatively impact an area that is really prime for development.

The thought of the Lions moving the HQ to Canton...

Hot take, I like the fountain! Scott Fountain is beautiful for sure, but it's not an attraction for most people. If the Dodge fountain is restored to full working order it will be a real draw to Hart...

I much prefer residential for this location. Corktown doesn't need any more commercial/ light industrial creep into the residential neighborhood. There is plenty of empty or greatly underutilized...

Ilitch should just donate the rest of his parking lots to organizations and developers who will actually build on them. Activity has been non-stop on this site since it was handed over to U of M.

We have a "Transit Center" yet this bus drops people off on the street in front of Book Tower? What kinda sense does that make? Not that in it's current state anyone wants to use the Transit Center...

This makes no sense ANYWHERE downtown... Same reason we didn't want a soccer stadium taking valuable land that should be high density.

Packard Plant would be a good option, or Hermin Keefer. Both...

I wonder how aware the Ilitch's are of their reputation in this town. Are they acutely aware that those who know have such contempt for them and their constant grifting? Do they knowingly put out lie...

New article in the Freep about the PM. I still say there is no way to take the current route and make it any more useful than it already is. If the stations could be slid along the track, and placed...

I like the idea but I'm not sure where in New Center they would put it. While a training center doesn't need to be enormous, New Center isn't that large of an area, and most of it is well occupied. ...

Back on topic...

EV or ICE, Americas biggest problem is it's love of oversized vehicles!!! Ignoring the fact that the behemoths the Big 3 have told us we all need to be "safe" on the road kill...

No one is getting "taxed out" of their homes. There is no conceivable way that the 5% max increase is pushing anyone out. It's a total myth that homeowners in Detroit are being forced out of their...

Looks like it's goning to be an awesome park, bit they need a "meter maid" at these riverfront parks to ticket the people trashing them. I took my out-of-town family to see the new Riverside Park...

At least the lawlessness sure to follow will be equitable.

The Ilitches just donated the land, they have nothing to do with the development. Their part to play in this is [[thankfully) finished. Looked over there today and the site was active.

Goldman didn't actually need a bailout and resisted the federal money. However the feds didn't want investors to know WHICH banks needed the infusion of cash, which would have likely caused a run on...

And yet one of those grifting development companies that make millions on the taxpayers back [[ACD I think it was) wants rebuild the Brewster Douglass projects around the old rec center.

To me...

I went in there on a weekday afternoon and it was dead in there. Empty retail, sparce people, very depressing. One would think the state would need at least this much office space in Metro Detroit...

Very cool pictures Ray, where were these pictures inside the station taken out of curiosity?

Drive by every day, the parking lot is ripped up and the light poles taken down, no major work as of yet.

You really think Bedrock is giving priority to the Midway over actually starting construction? Really? I think you've been listening to Ilitch excuses for too long.

I can say with certainty that...

Do what I can.

Parking CAN help protect bike lanes, such as on Michigan in Corktown, however this is more of a retrofit solution when an entire street reconstruction isn't in the cards. Ideally you would have curb...

I'm just gonna say it, putting solar farms in a city is idiotic... About the worst land use you can think of, maybe even worse than self storage facilities. If government is able to acquire large...
