I was wondering if there are any zoning ordinances/law in Midtown which would disallow the construction of suburban style strip malls. I hate the McDonalds on Woodward. I think it is important to ensure that suburban housing communities and strip malls are not built in Midtown. Instead, buildings need to abut one another and go up to the sidewalk in a linear fashion.

Maybe the whole detroit yes forumers could ban together and push this into action with the city council if in fact there is no ordinance.
