^it's mind blowing how segregated US cities are.
In Canada we preach a cultural mosaic but we're much more integrated than the US who preaches the melting pot.

Bulldoze the place flat and plant trees there, and do the same to New Orleans. Is there a name for undeveloping an area?

also if downtown was 80% white instead of 80% black they would have turned it around ages ago.
Nobody gives a shit about poor black folk.- just look at new orleans.akrok

So? Campus Martius is one sliver of Detroit. Don't get me wrong, it's a step, but having two medium sized corporations in Detroit aren't going to turn it around, though it certainly helps. That said, what I think really needs to happen is not of social doing. Politickin' needs to happen. City needs to be broken up and taxed as individual areas, etc. Money needs to go back into the areas it comes out of instead of spreading it thin throughout.

Detroit is a "shining example" of capitalism, greed, ignorance, excesses, etc... This is what makes America great!

There's a few larger corp groups moving downtown. Compuware is there. Quicken will be down there soon. Afternoons in the Campus Martius area is pretty nice actually.
- most of those buildings are owned by dan gilbert—who also owns the cavaliers. he's buying up detroit.doesnotexist

megE,
Sorry to burst your bubble but companies like that aren't exactly bringing new and sustainable business to Detroit or any of the surrounding areas. I'm glad they're able to make a buck off of the dying giant but lets face it - they come in, take what they need and get the fuck out.
Detroit recently has been praised as this DIY paradise for hipsters and artist-types alike but the fact is virtually all of those people are doing nothing to bring more money into the city and it's suburbs. They come in, scrape on by through low-rent housing and cheap living and move on to the next hipster commune eventually.
Gah.. now i'm ranting...

There are some really neat things happening in Detroit right now. The possibilities are endless really... watch these videos, DIY paradise
- that's what Palladium Boots wants you to think. downtown is a small section surrounded by problems for miles and miles.Douglas
