@2024dion There’s literally a new building under construction right across the street from where you took this picture but that would go against your narrative, also the new buildings off the river. This is just a misinformed take, and it’s probably from comparing Detroit to Austin.
English
Spent some time walking around downtown Detroit this afternoon. Most of the 2010s projects that were ongoing when I left in 2022 are complete (Hudson’s Site, Book Tower, a few smaller buildings) but it doesn’t seem that there’s much that’s new, which is a crazy contrast to my first time here in 2019 whew every block seemed to have something going on.
The UM building and the convention center hotel are the only new construction going up, it seems, and all the buildings that were vacant when I left are still vacant. My old office tower, the Michigan Building, looks like it might be totally empty now too. Retail vacancies are about the same, maybe slightly down at best. The qline hasn’t upgraded its ROW and the cars are already aging fast.
It’s a bit of whiplash for me after spending last week in Austin where the 2020s have had explosive physical growth downtown & everything was both new and packed.
I don’t know if the pandemic just crushed office occupancy and made downtown less desirable to live in, or if the low hanging fruit has been plucked and now Gilbert has pulled back, or what, but the vibrancy and promise of the 2010s seems to have slacked off.
English
@2024dion Kinda weird, this pic had to be taken during off hours in order to prove a point that isn’t 100% true. Saturday was pretty busy down there and it typically is. There’s tons of new restaurants and bars that weren’t there in the 2010’s. Greektown is currently under construction.

Jerry Ross, 72, was arrested after he allegedly hit two cyclists with his car.
Ross reportedly honked and heckled a group of 10 cyclists for “taking over the road,” then sped around them while lying on the horn and clipping 2 of them.
Who is at fault?

@evanpalsson @2024dion I’d say the weather is bad 3 to 4 months out of the year (Jan-Apr) but the other Months are amazing!
English
“It’s beautiful” is not an argument. Everywhere is beautiful, it’s the freaking earth. I’ve lived in each time zone, up-and-down the latitudes. Michigan is not unique in its beauty, beauty is quite literally everywhere if you are looking. What it comes down to is the weather. The weather is shit 10 months out of the year, that is why no one moves to Michigan. The pattern is quite obvious across all of the northern states. The cold sucks, and with the advent of this thing called A/C, the brutally hot summers in the southern states are manageable. It’s about the weather, not the landscape.
English
Why is Michigan such an unattractive place to move? It's one of the most beautiful states, has one massive metro area and 2-3 booming smaller metros, a diversified economy, extremely affordable housing, a top tier flagship university, etc

Here's a map of the % of people born in their state of residence. Highest in the Midwest and Louisiana, and lowest in the West (with Nevada at the bottom) and Florida.

@MrRonertSrub @JupiterKunt @2024dion I’m sure when you’re out of town and you say you’re from Grand Rapids, you also have to explain where it is in proximity of Detroit. No one outside of Grand Rapids knows/cares about Grand Rapids 😂😂
English
@JupiterKunt @2024dion When people think Michigan they think Detroit. Detroit is such a small portion of Michigan. Here on the west side of the state, unless you talk sports, we have almost no reason to talk about it. Grand Rapids > Detroit by a large margin
English
@JupiterKunt @2024dion This isn’t about Detroit. This is about the state. Most Detroiters that left, went across 8mile, then 16mile, then past Hall Rd.
English
@2024dion The numbers are skewed for Michigan after decades of Detroit emptying out.
Detroit alone lost over 1 million residents in the Boomer lifetime. So the numbers are heavily skewed due to that.
Detroit stopped losing people, but hasn’t had a major increase in population since.

@waseemshoukat92 @elonmusk See this America! This is how stupid our society is! On the same device you can search and verify a story, this person chooses not to and instead doubt the legitimacy. This is the level of intellect we have in our society. Then they become weasels and hide from the replies.

@chukwudebo @muheediva01 @Armani4vibes Yeah I’m in tech, no degree, no prob there are entry level companies that build your technical background without needing a degree. Comcast and Att are 2. Also a degree in tech is super scary right now. All the tech teams are building Ai models that will eventually replace them.

@muheediva01 @Armani4vibes It depends on your field. This really matter in IT, it’s about what you can do.

@mymixtapez Everyone wants to blame the workers. I say there should be no income taxes or property taxes for people. Corporations should foot the bill for the honor of being I. Business in the greatest country in the world. More free $$ means more sales. Only the best companies survive.

@Hail2thevictor2 @bcarr1977 @napsdotcom It sounds like you’re speaking to high earner migration. This also destabilizes areas which happened to cities north of 8 mile. Those people moved further north to Hall Rd. They centralize wealth for a generation then move further out once the “undesirables” can afford it.
English
@DragonflyMusicG @bcarr1977 @napsdotcom Can the same be said for cities north of 8 mile! Don’t read a book just look at the schools and the decline of those cities
It’s not gentrification if everyone leaving for the burbs
English
@Hail2thevictor2 @bcarr1977 @napsdotcom Higher levels of Policing start, and those new police officers from different areas view the previous majority as problematic, so now skin color is a reason for concern. I’m not speaking in a singular sense but as a system. Again UofM has tons of info on this subject.
English
@Hail2thevictor2 @bcarr1977 @napsdotcom The same way suburbanites move further into rural areas where the culture is different. The farmers feel displaced by “city folk”. Their way of life is changed. It’s natural, I’m pointing out how it changes for black law abiding citizens. When white people move in, prices go up.
