Troy was already starting to feel the pain a few years ago. There was a time when they just couldn't build enough commercial space. Between 1970 and 2000, developers built about 10 million square feet of commercial space. I wonder what the vacancy rate is. I imagine Troy still has more jobs than residents, but the appeal of the "City of Tomorrow" seems to be wearing a little thinner every year. They had to give Kelly Services a huge tax abatement to convince them to double down on their HQ there; that wouldn't have happened 10 years ago.

If I remember correctly, Troy has the third most commercial space in the metroplex [[and, likely, the whole state), behind Detroit [[1) and Southfield [[2).
