Now normally I would agree. This shows you just how messed-up the city finances are. The City needs both well paid front line personnel and a new building. I have a sneaking suspicion that this building will have a lot of corners cut as well.
Detroit Planner, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the consent decree mandated a new police HQ. I know they were supposed to make improvements to holding cells and some other things, but I don't recall a new HQ being ordered.
