This is disappointing because it signals that Corktown won't be a major employment center as originally envisioned by Ford.

Detroit needs jobs, and high-paying ones. That is how we get more residents and tax revenues.

Commercial at that site wouldn't be 'creep' because what existed before at that site was industrial/office. Rosa Parks is not a neighborhood street, so hopefully mixed-use residential/retail will be built there.
