‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
Today on #CreatedEqual, a report from @violetikon about non-fatal police shooting survivors raises questions about use of lethal force and accountability. We're joined by two members of the Board of Police Commissioners. Listen live 101.9FM / WDET.org. @SHDetroit
$1B in affordable housing investments in Detroit produced 4,600 units. Just imagine if we hadn't also wantonly spent $500M on demolition eliminating 28,000 homes. Especially since, today, many homes that once would have been demo'd are being rehabbed. detroitmi.gov/news/1-billion…

Umich Gaza encampment is happening.
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…

How can a cashless person go about riding a Ddot bus? Can card ticket purchases only be made at Rosa Parks?
Staggering findings in this @violetikon investigation for @freep: More than 1/3 of people shot nonfatally by Detroit police in a recent 7-year period either were not charged w/crime or not convicted of the conduct officers said prompted them to open fire freep.com/story/news/inv…

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.
Shifting workers from the RenCen to Hudson's Detroit means the project is unlikely to meet promises of job creation and tax growth that helped justify a large public subsidy. bridgedetroit.com/net-loser-gilb…
