I used to attend fund raisers for and @ the Opera House, and I never felt that it was beyond hope. With the Book Cadillac, I relied on experts that said it could and would be revamped. The Packard Plant is in the same situation as the Uniroyal plant was. Not only was it unused, it was abused. Couple that, with unchecked contamination from it's hey-day, and I'm not sure, even if it were leveled, that anything could pass soil inspection to be built on that site for either quite a while, or without serious digging. I think they should do a transit line to the Southeast side, and do something with the Whittier. I know it isn't in boomtown, but the Coast is a great area of Detroit.
