Whoa, buddy. He's talking essentially about rebuilding Poletown (and much more), isn't he? That would be something. I've always viewed this near eastside area as a no-brainer for your conventional working-to-middle-class redevelopment. It'd be really nice if General Motors would start a special, small program to repopulate neighborhoods around its factories where applicable, you know, offer minimal incentives for housing near their plants considering all of the other extra-curricular stuff they spend money on.
As for that building, the architecture looks like all of the other multi-family stuff that's planned or is going up in Midtown recently, but I'm not going to sneeze at a 100 new units of housing. Buildings can be filler, particularly these developments off Woodward.
