On this day in 1986:
@CityofDetroit Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young points out that New York City millionaire Donald Trump has interest in developing the long vacant old Uniroyal site on the riverfront near Belle Isle.
Detroit is the most single big city in the country- just 24% of Detroiters are married.
"Single status can cost an individual upwards of a million dollars in a lifetime beyond what a married peer of a similar age and demography would be paying."

The RenCen was the largest privately financed project of its time -- it sought no tax incentives. It came when downtown Detroit was not viewed as attractive. Interesting to compare to GM's new HQ, where tax breaks help projects secure a higher return on the private investment.

Really fantastic @BridgeDet313 article about how @GM's move to the new Hudson's tower saps the promised jobs and tax revenue that were used to justify tens of millions in public incentives.
We are so far from getting this part of the development game right in #Detroit.…
Remember when Gilbert/Duggan in 2022 promised 2k new jobs/tax revenue if city approved more public $ for Hudson’s site? They’re already missing the target… by a lot. bridgedetroit.com/net-loser-gilb…

Shoutout to @BridgeDet313 for letting me write 2,600 words on a topic wildly outside of my beat.
I was looking at census data when it struck me that 3 out of 4 Detroiters are unmarried. Turns out it's the lowest marriage rate of any big U.S. city!
