[@branon6565]

While that dude was talkin about more business and jobs headin to downtown Detroit, why do the 3 men on stage with him look so pissed off? Shouldn't at least one of em be smilin just a little bit? I mean damn, they look terrible sittin up there lookin like that....I'm happy for Detroit, I hope Cleveland sees this type of thing happen to it sooner rather than later (I lived there for a few years and have friends outta work there), and a big Congrats to Detroit all the way from San Jose, Calif.... GO NINERS

[@robertpreskop4425]

Branon Fontaine I want to see the same thing happen to my home city of Buffalo. We are on an upswing here in Buffalo, but like Detroit we also have a lot of serious urban problems in the poorer neighborhoods. Another problem that both southeastern Michigan and western New York suffer from is the stubborn NIMBYs who oppose any new ideas or new development on the most ridiculous reasoning.

I really hope that this thing works out .Detroit officials are some dangerous people .They are there own version of the mob .I know how calculating and contract cut - throat the people doing business there can be . Just look at how much difficulty is involved with simple home demolitions has gone .And kick backs and a almost non - existent paper trail . People coming in better be careful and watch that back - as far as doing business .

[@chrisallen7911]

Those guys want it to stay run down and crime ridden. They probably get hefty payoffs to keep people poor, uneducated, and crime ridden.

[@silfernandez3048]

Detroit need more education ,no more temporary jobs!

[@TheDaniell2]

I love Detroit but i never ben in USA.

[@chelseafc3204]

[@Whitneypyant]

Chelsea FC come to Michigan.

[@branon6565]

TheDaniell2....we're full, we got all the damn immigrants we don't need, so you just stay right where you're at now, you got nothin comin to you from the U.S....we need to concentrate on helping and hiring those individuals whose families have been in the U.S. for generations already, no immigrants need apply at this time....

[@branon6565]

Adrian....fuck you, just stay in whatever shithole country you're in now, you ain't needed nor wanted here....again, fuck you....

[@issstari954]

He said he was coming on vacation asshole that makes the US money he didn't say he was moving their plus Detroit needs immigrants right now its a shit hole and people are leaving if he pays money he supporting your economy

[@jacobtennyson9213]

Not that''s the real Delta City.

[@w0584]

Yeah right

[@Justincasethompson]

This stuff is already getting built.

[@californiamade5608]

Justin Thompson how far along

[@Red-pt6rs]

Aww you care about Detroit

[@jaywalt5573]

Put some money an the city not downtown

[@issstari954]

Down town is the heart of the city if it is built up and adds jobs the rest will come naturally

[@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia]

I live in Kalamazoo and we wish Detroit the best. It’s far better and more entertaining than Chicago. Far more affordable too. Now you hear Chicago on the news falling apart and Detroit having their act together. Crime had went down substantially in Detroit. In short, It’s making its return to the world stronger than ever😉

[@Red-pt6rs]

More entertaining then Chicago? Have you seen Chicago or even been their?

[@chitownlov3er0623]

Yeah his whole statement is false 😂😂

[@static6787]

That's like say Afghanistan is the best city in the world amd better that NYC

[@Chosen1Crown]

Detroit is not on Chicago level bro .. Truth be told .. I Love the Midwest, but let’s tell the truth here Sir ...Chicago has broke ground on more skyscrapers in 1 yr than Detroit entire existence....

[@Episcopalianacolyte]

If more billionaires would invest in poor cities...

[@TheBlueWanderer2000]

What about the MLS stadium?

[@charlottes.2603]

+Alex the Gaming Boy That's going to be at Ford Field (if all goes well).

[@TheBlueWanderer2000]

Da_BRS_Detroit I thought they were going to build a new one... too bad they’re going to scrap it.

[@charlottes.2603]

+Alex the Gaming Boy I know right?

[@TheBlueWanderer2000]

Da_BRS_Detroit Sort of.

[@da_srb_detroit7361]

Wow... 5 pro sports teams for my beloved city of Detroit.

[@rareview362]

Just the look on their faces, I am so glad I escaped Metro Detroit. Living on the west coast now

[@breezwonder]

So glad that downtown is turning white

[@dennisplatte8800]

More whites have moved in for sure. But check out the buses that come into and out of the City. Shows a very diverse downtown work force. Most taking the buses home after work aren't white.

[@breezwonder]

Thats cool....as long as its White people coming.

[@breezwonder]

Thats cool...as long as its mainly white

[@breezwonder]

Nope with all the new development, downtown Detroit will be 75% white in the next 6 years!...some black people/leaders in this town just hate the fact that Detroit is on the rebound because of whites. It reminds them of their failures. We are in this fight to bring this city back bro. Be happy Gilbert, Duggan, Ilitch and Penske invested Billions of dollars to make it happen!

[@breezwonder]

Nearly90% of Roger Penske staff for downtown cleanup is Black, around 50% of Olympia staff is black counting LCA employees, Little Ceasars, Motor city Casino and others. Not to mentioned Mike Ilitch secretly paid Rosa Parks rent and a host of other poor blacks rent throughout the city. Ilitches also fought to have black war veterans/history month recognized at numerous events. Just because they dont publicly display everything doesn't mean they dont do nothing for blacks. Gilbert also has tons of black employees on his staff. But thats all beside the point, Detroit is coming back in a MAJOR way and in the next 7 to 8 years, this city will be a world power!! I heard a preacher prophesy and said Detroit will one day be the wealthiest city in the world! we also have the rap industry on lock right now with Tee Grizzly, Sada Baby, Molly Brazy, Eminem, Big Sean, Rocain and a Titanic load of others plus more who are up and coming.So regardless of anything, i want the D to back and i dont care if its through someone who's Purple!
