Old Hudson, Lafayette Building sites planned as downtown gardens

[wolverine]

Do any of you have a better idea?

I do actually!

1. Attract big business
2. Construct an office building

It can't be impossibly hard. Detroit is a decent sized city with a big metro. C'mon now, you can do it like all the other cities. :-)

I hope you're being sarcastic Wolverine. We're having trouble filling the vacant buildings that are still standing, let alone finding people to build new ones. The people on here advocating the construction of new buildings on these sites are nuts. Do we really need any more glut in our completely saturated market? One could convince me of building a residential building, maybe, but we don't need more office space.

Don't get ahead of yourself, you only responded to my second point. Unless you are suggesting Detroit is closed for business.
