What I'd like to know is, these people who are not able to live in and around the line, some of which would say it's preferable. Please let me know why these people would prefer not to. No dodging. No backpedaling. No changing subjects. Let me have it, please.

Great. My point would be, I don't want to live by YOU. I'd have to kill myself. And knowing that you are there would be good enough advertisment against even considering such a move to Detroit. .

Precisely the thoughtful, measured response I'd expected of you, Vox. Carry on.

I followed the exchange between you and DetroitNerd all the way down the page, and this made me laugh hysterically!

While I see what he was getting at, he just wouldn't lay off, and what you said was hilarious in that context!

Yes, I imagine that's why they tossed him out of NY after 11 years. One can only take so much self-important pronouncements before critical mass is attained. And he stole my arterial idea too.

I have no idea what that exchange was even about.

For one, the Woodward corridor probably has about 10 times as many people living in houses as in apartment buildings nowadays.

It's like folks were discussing a street in some Detroit-doppelganger, where one had to walk 15 minutes to encounter the rare living arrangement known as a house.

There are quite a few houses even directly on Woodward, especially north of 6 Mile.

As to the bond sale, I would say this is excellent news, and I hope this all works out. I would not build the whole thing at once, but there are probably reasons for combining the segments.
