Hypothetically, Duggan's goal of adding population in five years comes true and the city is in need of housing near downtown do you think the city will get it right. I love Detroit but lets be honest it has a rather lame streetscape. Wide boulevards and small buildings is a little depressing. What I would want to see is not only an average height of 4 to 8 stories on the main roads[[ near greater downtown not like, 8 mile and Gratiot) and smaller buildings more integrated into the actual neighborhoods instead if just on the main roads. What do you think eill attract developers to Detroit; tax breaks, an opportunity to build whole neighborhoods? Do you think the city should employ a small collection of urban planners to advise what's best just to get things started?
