I am pretty sure that if you ask the average Detroiter you would hear that the nieghborhoods are being ignored while all of the investment is happening in the center.


Hey, I grew up in EEV for 20 years. It's been heartbreaking to see what's happened there. So don't think I don't see the destruction.

Old Detroit is dead. The question is what do we want the new Detroit to look like? For what it's worth, Warrendale would be on my personal list of neighborhoods that are still savable.

The reality is that it doesn't matter what people "think", whether they are the average Detroiter or the new residents moving into swanky lofts. This has nothing to do with opinion. Our battle isn't against public opinion. It's against math.

Math is not allowing us to save everyone. So we have to figure out what math will allow us to do and deal with that reality.
