Correct, if you ignore all the other variables. Ilitch will hold all of his property hostage until this gets done. That means no hope of development behind the Fox, no hope of development at 75 and Woodward, no hope of development near Motor City Casino, etc.

It was simply a dollars to dollars comparison with no other variables I may agree but Ilitch has stacked the deck in his favor to allow his company to extort the city. Sad but true. Or things can remain as they are and drunk Tigers fans will have a ton of surface lots to trash and piss all over.

People could save themselves tons of money buy living in a $5,000 home near city airport but they choose not to. There are always other variables beyond just the dollars. You know that but choose to ignore it
