Very true. In River Rouge, foot of Shaefer [[though it's Coolidge and only gets close to the river) and in Ecorse, the foot of Southfield and the foot of Outer Dr.
I have to admit I haven't heard of him personally, but did stumble across his rap song some time ago [[we have common acquaintances). From all appearances, he's a standup guy. Aside from football...
Given my reading of the account given, the woman who made the comment about additional white people moving into the neighborhood was part of a family with at least reasonable means. Interpreting it...
The event is highly unfortunate and highlights that there is a segment of Detroit's population [[and of the world) that thrives on carnage and mayhem. There's simply no explanation for anything like...
I'm lost on why the three mile run of the light rail plan is seen as such a bad idea. I'm sure the ultimate purpose is to create more reliable transit for the city and possibly region when and if...
Personally, if a viable project can be done, let him do it. I'm concerned that there are more residential opportunities than employment opportunity [[corporate employees, entrepreneurs, etc.) to make...
I would love to see this happen.
I used to work for a company that took pictures of buildings for commercial purposes. It is actually not illegal to take pictures of buildings [[for commercial or personal purposes) from a public...
Based on stats that x% people in Detroit are unemployed and y% live in poverty, I would bet that many of the working-class neighborhoods fit the working-class label in the past and are now...
Awesome story. I have to say, the person that can coldly shoot another person for any reason is disgusting. I hope his former "friend" is getting everything he deserves in prison. I hope this kid...
I'm interested in understanding what "middle class" means to everyone. I mean, it seems that the term has a different meaning depending on who you ask. I think it's just a different part of the...
Personally, I don't know how these magazines and websites can continue to make the "most dangerous" and "closest to heaven" lists. They're cheap articles used to get more ad dollars. I would assume...
I'm interested in seeing what he does with them.
I hope all of your efforts are successful. It's weird that Detroit won't force these clubs to close or reign in their clientele. Both Washington, DC and Prince George's county in Maryland close...
I've seen a lot of good things so far. Frankly, I don't believe Detroit needs to do anything for its image. The citizenry is mostly law abiding; it's a minority of people who are the problem. Many...

It will get there some day, but but it will take time and banks will need to make financing available again.
To need an replace of all major systems means that that building is essentially worthless. You'll spend more money fixing the building than it currently costs. It's a money pit.
As someone suggested above, maybe the city should look into swapping the land at the site for another area in the city. there's no way the city should have a low-income housing project in the middle...
I agree. Why is it that Detroit must carry so much of the region's poor. At one time, Detroit was at one time the center of wealth for the region and carried a higher proportion of the poor. ...
Honestly, it's easier to point to the ones that are not thriving without a transit system. I guess my question is more of the chicken-egg variety. Honestly, I can see that transit is a very...

I just came across it and it got me to thinking that given the small footprint of the most...
I liked the Target close to downtown Chicago. Good parking for a large trip, but it's in an area where the development was needed. Target would be more of a car-centric retailer. Could you imagine...
I like this. I believe they did this report for all those who are only familiar with the story from a biased perspective. All of the "blacks did this" and "whites did that" language only clouds the...
Forced in what way?
