urban developmentNed Staebler Rising from the Ashes

We need more people (ft. Ned Staebler)

One of the things that I thought I knew but learned differently when I started this was that I thought most people were on board with growing metro Detroit and Michigan. I have since learned that is very much not the case, and many don’t think any changes are needed. Or, it’s an attitude that we don’t have to make any improvements – and good riddance to those who want to leave or don’t come here. On today’s Daily Detroit for Thursday, June 15th, 2023 – a conversation with Ned...

Incinerator comes down // NFL dominates sports media // Detroit City ties

Javy Báez need to figure out how to hit a baseball And we see some optimism with the tie in Charleston for Detroit City FC. Now, if we can just activate...

A tale of two (Metro) Detroits, says Gallup survey

Often there are stories about “two Detroits,” but that also extends into Metro Detroit. A survey out last week from the Gallup Center on Black Voices and the Detroit Regional Chamber is kind of revealing when it comes to Detroit, Metro Detroit, the needs of the people in those communities, and how they perceive things. This first resident survey that I think revealed a lot of interesting topics, and I hope it’s done again next year. Norris Howard is on the podcast you can list...

Detroit's Land Value Tax proposal, explained (ft. Jay Rising)

It’s not news that the city of Detroit has one of highest tax rates in metro Detroit, Michigan and the country. What is news is a new land value tax plan to help change that and get, officials say, a nearly thirty percent cut on property taxes for most Detroit homeowners (and a huge increase on people who own undeveloped vacant land: speculators, downtown parking lots, scrap yard owners, and more). On your Daily Detroit for Thursday, June 1, 2023 – we’re going to dig in to it with...
