The Valenti Show with Rico - What do you expect from District Detroit?

How much development do you expect to be finished by the time the NFL Draft is in Detroit in 2024? #detroit #nfl #football

In Economics, public funds for private businesses almost never are worth it. They can talk all they want but the money is always better spent for the public good rather than to line their own pockets.

We're lucky to have that here in Memphis. With games at FedEx Forum or AutoZone Park, Beale Street is right there. Memphis has hosted the American conference tournament twice (2014 and 2019) and Beale Street was a blast. Same thing when we got the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight in 2017 when Kentucky, North Carolina, UCLA, and Butler came to town. Grizzlies playoff games always make for a buzz. And there's even days where FedEx Forum will host Tigers/Grizzlies doubleheaders with college ball at 11 and NBA ball at 8 - those are long fun days

Nobody will ever talk about “The District” the way they’re talking about it. That said, there is a lot of slow, incremental development throughout Midtown/Cass Corridor and there has been for years. The neighborhoods surrounding “The District” will continue to rebuild; look at Brush Park right across Woodward, look at Corktown.

Didn’t they recently fail at building a super jail.

It’s wild because brush part right across the stress was developed in less time and started around the same time.

Unfortunately, sports stadiums are one of the worst investments that can be made using public funds. You almost never get the return on the investment that is put in. Detroit is begging for somewhere to go before lions/pistons/wings games to have some form of tailgating.

The BIGGEST problem with District Detroit is the Ilitches and that they own the land. That’s it.

[@Sterling-pt8bd]

They need more entertainment like (movie theater,arcade,clubs etc) rather than housing

[@khrisstake2210]

But if you even THINK about asking for change in the tax system, people will just yell 🗣ROADS! This is a joke

If it’s like the Deer district in Milwaukee than it’s gonna be lit brings a bunch of business to the city

[@SocialAssasin]

Mismanagement in a city that has voted blue for decades. Shocker.

[@kaivrock]

Detroit needs to get over it’s boner for parking lots, that’s for sure. They’re a distinctly American eyesore and Detroit doesn’t need any more eyesores.

Hate to break it to Rico but Milwaukee is a blast.
