Stellantis received tax incentives to create good jobs. They built their facility on the East Side of Detroit. They improperly installed pollution controls but kept operating. They then racked up 6 air quality violations within a year and a half. 🧵
Council President Sheffield has a one question survey on the proposed District Detroit Development. tinyurl.com/yc5k855z

303k+ power outages now. 272k+ are DTE customers. Nearly a million people lost power last week. Over 100k lost power for a week or more. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is costing families thousands of dollars. We need real compensation NOW.
The District Detroit transformational brownfield plan is headed to City Council! DBRA approved the plan with Maggie DeSantis and Eric Dueweke voted no.

DBRA voted today to terminate a 2007 brownfield plan for the Detroit Life Building, which is one of the properties Olympia is seeking to develop as part of District Detroit. Ownership hasn’t changed since it was approved in 2007 but the initial plans never came to fruition.
District Detroit developers are seeking tax incentives worth $47 million MORE than the city’s projected net benefit over the next 35 years.

$18M in city tax revenue and nearly $10M in revenue for DPSCD’s operating budget has been captured by the Downtown Development Authority to be used *only* for future developments downtown. How have downtown developments benefited public schools and city operations?

Y’all wanna know a dirty little housing secret? Sometimes large unions are on the opposite side of tenant organizers. Why? Because when housing proposals come up, developers secure their support by promising (construction) jobs at the expense of affordability.
🚨 Dearborn’s Arab and Muslim Mayor orders increased police presence across the city to protect residents after the WSJ opinion piece full of Islamophobic and anti-arab rhetoric was published.
Effective immediately - Dearborn police will ramp up its presence across all places of worship and major infrastructure points. This is a direct result of the inflammatory @WSJ opinion piece that has led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online…

Folk haven’t convinced themselves! Rent control was banned by the MI State Legislature in the late 80s. Folk from Macomb all the way to Washtenaw all fought hard for ballot proposals/referendums but landlords and ppl like Engler, Senate Majority leader then, were VILLAINS!!
Can’t believe folks have convinced themselves that these rent prices are normal.

I agree with the sentiment, but Tiger Stadium survived all that! What it couldn’t survive was the Illitches
If it weren't for modernist planning (highways, urban renewal, etc), old Tigers Stadium in Detroit would today be one of the world's most beloved neighborhood stadiums
There were calls and legitimate proposals to just add all the bells and whistles and modern amenities to the classic ballpark, but Olympia insisted on the McBallpark we ended up with

Beebe says MSF has spent $2.7 billion on Metro Detroit's brownfield sites in 12 years, with $1.2 billion going to Detroit proper already. Wonders why so much is centered downtown. A city official says 80% of tax breaks were outside of central biz district and midtown in 2022.
MSF Boardmember Ron Beebe asks if there will be clawbacks if the District Detroit does not fulfill job obligations. "There will not be long-term monitoring of job creation," responds an official presenting with Detroit's workforce development team.
