2:36 of course development takes time. Anyone who has observed the Hudson Site, Elton Park, Godfrey and Michigan Central knows that. But what % of Olympia land actually has work being done like those other projects instead of just sitting there? As for blaming covid, two projects that were underway (Eddystone & Detroit Women's Club) continued through the pandemic mostly unabated. Are we to believe that a bunch of development was going to happen in summer 2020 on sites that sat empty while the arena was being built?

Let us hope the Ilitches will truly make good on their promises instead of stalling for a decade before demolishing all the buildings to replace them with parking lots.

Don't give the Ilitches another dime in public money. That family has a trail of broken promises when it comes to development in Detroit. Let the Ilitches finance their pipe dream projects with their own money.

They are only catering to the people with the highest income.

How can these developers get away with such lies!! They rarely build anything!! It ought to be criminal for them to take the loans and not do anything!!

When are they starting the work? LMAO 9 months later....... "It takes time"........They've had 7 years to plan these untouched proposed and promised new developments and renovations. Drive out to the Illitches property in Farmington Hills (North side of 696 near I275) and they wasted no time building the new Mercedes financial building, broke ground for another building and renovating the two existing other large offices of the property!

You will have to chain down anything that can be carried out of all the beautiful new stores. Detroit's violent crime rate is 462% above the national avg.

Come to San Francisco. Detroit has nothing on the high theft in the stores here. And don't get me started on the high car break here. Detroit will do just fine. I am from the Detroit area. But live here in the Bay area California for over 21 years. It's a shit show here. Homeless is out of control and drugs are rampant on the streets. The mentally ill is very bad on the streets. I've never seen so many tents, feces, drug needles and trash, like I've seen here. Take a chill pill, Chicken Little.

I saw a McLaren with a “Sec 8” vanity plate parked in front of a Bagel shop off W. Long Lake Road in Troy. Obviously, a very lucrative endeavor for the rent seeking owner.
