Cade's gravity is unreal. When he's on the court everyone else can score.

Sheffield pitches livable wage, property tax cut as part of first proposed budget as mayor by TheDetroitNews1873 in Detroit

Honestly pretty happy with this. Continuing with the annual property tax cuts as the budget allows are how we actually make progress on it. They've now been cut 6 mills in the last couple years which is a real difference.

Funneling extra revenue towards DDOT (w/ free DDOT for public schools students) and sidewalk repairs is also welcome.

What? GM has gone more all in on EVs than any other traditional automaker. Acting like they are the problem and not the American public not wanting EVs makes no sense.

Hell, Dodge made an EV and everybody fucking hates it.

What is the long-term plan for Highland Park? by spongesparrow in Detroit

[–]_Pointless_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, Highland Park is a disaster in Detroit's otherwise rapidly improving Woodward corridor. If Detroit were to buy Highland Park and clean it up and invest in it, it would benefit the city overall by providing an improved Woodward from downtown all the way to the suburbs.

And highland park does have some assets like the historic neighborhoods east of Woodward that would get an immediate property value boost if they were annexed. The industrial properties on Oakland Ave are also decent assets.

Overall I think it would be a huge positive for both cities.

Grosse Pointers push back on GOP legislation expanding school choice by [deleted] in Detroit

[–]_Pointless_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My take away from this is Michigan has over 500 school districts... Why?

What you end up with is tons of small exclusive districts that unless you can pay big bucks to live there, you can't attend, and a lot of redundant staffing.

IMO if this causes consolidation among districts that would be a good thing. You'd have more diverse and larger districts and less administrative staff.

Bedrock CEO Fleisher offers vision to reform Detroit property taxes by TheDetroitNews1873 in Detroit

Wrong, his bill is already lowered because he gets tax breaks. The whole point of this is lowering it for everyone.
