  4. The public libraries do not even run right in this city.

    It would be nice if there was a big money push and big political currency push on that stuff.

    There will be hate from alot of long-time Detroiters.

    And it is understandable on some of it.

    But we got to get over it or #Detroit is finished.

  5. What is REALLY needed in #Detroit is more organizations that are willing to, in part, have the very difficult political conversations that have always been actively avoided.

    Challenging harmful stuff like historic preservation NIMBY-ism, restrictive zoning, disinterested city planning, transit.

  6. To be clear, I don't hold any inherent ill-will towards MoveDetroit. It is a private effort and someone else's money.

    But understand that #Detroit has no advanced economy, so I think it is doubtful that any gains can stick.

    Downtown needs housing, housing, housing.

    Rent prices are way too high.

  7. Unless we are talking about adding high-tens or hundreds of thousands of new Detroiters every year, all across #Detroit, just sprinkling some people in won't do anything.

    We don't have the revenues to support neighborhoods now.

    So what I fear is that efforts like this are another distraction.

  8. Again, if Downtown Detroit is unable to produce an advanced economy as some point... the whole city will inevitably decline financially.

    #Detroit needs, per my calculations, somewhere in the ballpark of 20-30x annual revenues in *immediate* infrastructure investment *even to match* peer cities.

  9. Article in Crain's about an effort called MoveDetroit - a privately-funded, nonprofit (largely by Dan Gilbert) that seeks to get people to move to Detroit.

    I love Detroit, but the habitual inaction of #Michigan and #Detroit is palpable.

    It is crunch time and we need to be honest about the numbers.

  10. Arguably, Detroit added roughly 9,000 people. Not 15,000.

    In the most recent census year, #Detroit sued the fed. government as it believed that they undercounted Detroiters.

    Revisions were made which adjusted up the population by 5,696 residents. So those folks were already here, just uncounted.
