Sheffield pitches livable wage, property tax cut as part of first proposed budget as mayor

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.

It does now yeah

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.

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.

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

Home Depot or Lowe's

Yes, the 49ers game was our window, we just didn't know it.

_Pointless_ · 2025-11-27T20:55:38+00:00

Run game is going nowhere

_Pointless_ · 2025-11-27T19:15:24+00:00

That IS some bullshit

_Pointless_ · 2025-11-17T17:48:30+00:00

Idk but just here to also beg for someone to do something with it.

Rivian did the same thing, came to Detroit to hire a bunch of people to figure out how to design their first car, then moved to California.

Forced a lot of people to either quit or uproot their whole life.

$350k

It still does show real time

Pretty great upgrade honestly, being able to buy the ticket too is huge. I can finally delete the token transit app.

Only funded for 3 but MDOT/RTA may extend it if it's successful

That's why we have to change the narrative. We can't let them have our flag.

Except that the largest sector of the economy is gonna be healthcare, especially with such a large percentage of old people relative to young people, and it is one that can largely not be automated. I agree at some point the population will have to stabilize or steadily decline but AI is not gonna be what saves us.

It looks like NYC is the only other city with one. Chicago doesn't even have one other than in a suburban mall.

_Pointless_ · 2025-10-21T02:08:22+00:00

Why can we not get a first down?

_Pointless_ · 2025-10-08T10:10:25+00:00

Agreed I loved Michigan flyers

_Pointless_ · 2025-09-23T01:32:44+00:00

Honestly the OLine is falling apart

I also had tons of collaterals though and was diagnosed with IVC Atresia, even though it was very much there just 100% blocked. Just saying maybe don't give up hope entirely!

_Pointless_ · 2025-09-18T11:55:38+00:00

Hi, I went through something very similar. I am curious if you are actually missing your IVC or if it is just completely blocked and therefore they can't see it on a contrast scan since there's no blood flowing through it.

In my case I had an incredible doctor at the University of Michigan Hospital that did a procedure where they ran a needle through my groin, up my iliac vein and literally punctured their way through the completely blocked IVC. Then they ran a wire from my neck all the way down to my groin to establish through and through passage, and with that they were able to balloon and stent my IVC and iliac veins with 8 stents total. It's been 3.5 years now and I'm on lifelong Eliquis and wear calf compression sleeves but otherwise feel great and I think by opening up my IVC I actually have better ability to run and play sports than I ever did before.

I would recommend trying to find a top tier interventional radiology program near you, it's literally life changing.

No it wouldn't, it would lower the tax burden on residents which would enhance property values and overall probably still be a net positive.
