The interest on foreclosures in the city of Detroit is as inhumane as payday loans. Foreclosing a home because of $154.86 in property taxes is absurd. It’s mind boggling that a developer is comfortable asking the city of Detroit to forego $800M in property tax revenue. Who wins?

Dear Livonia, “Don’t be like Detroit” might have built your city but it’s not going to solve your problems. Keep rejecting proposals for multi-family housing, bike paths, and expanding public transit. Investment flows where it’s welcomed. ✌🏼

Kinda like the Oakland County Sheriff “sounded the alarm” about an “uptick” in high-end burglaries and then held a press conference just to say the suspects were in police custody in Indiana for crimes they committed over a year before the “uptick.” Smells like a trend to me! 🙃

The City of Detroit has (finally) noticed city council’s special session to approve the FY24 budget…. 3.5 hours in advance and without line items. The Open Meetings Act requires public bodies to post notices for special meetings 18 hours in advance.

A public body in Detroit charged with helping vulnerable people elected a convicted sex offender to its board of directors in November. He remains on the board.

👀🚨 Economic researchers working with the city of Detroit vaguely estimate there are about 10,000 Detroiters employed by Stellantis, substantially more than GM or Ford. In total, they’re estimating a six-week strike could cause a loss of around 30K Detroit jobs.

I’ve attended/watched *EVERY* City Council meeting in 2022 (incl. Committees) and the majority in 2021. I can confidently say that, during these meetings, the public has opposed the city’s surveillance efforts more than they’ve voiced their support. No questions.

I don’t think Julie Schneider, Director of HRD, knows that the need for home repairs in Detroit is so bad that BSEED refers occupied homes for demolition. City Council heard this reality at a recent Dangerous Buildings Hearing.

The people arguing with me about why kids don't get driver's licenses is proof that a certain subset of people on Twitter will argue with me about *anything* Just accept the real reason: Because they're not growing up, and because you'll drive them anywhere they need to go.

Detroit City Council’s Internal Operations Committee interviewed three mayoral appointments for the Human Rights Commission this week. All 3 appointees said they weren’t familiar with the Detroiters’ Bill of Rights. Two of them said they knew nothing about it.

Detroit’s land value tax plan moves forward in the legislative process. Next stop: House votes. Meanwhile, the city is gearing up to update it’s master plan for the first time since 2008. How will the projections change when the master plan is updated? What should come first?
