In today’s episode of Daily Detroit, we’re covering the development, transit, and sports stories moving Southeast Michigan right now.

We kick things off with a little lighthearted debate over roller coasters and Cedar Point before jumping into local news. Waka by Baobab Fare is officially open in Eastern Market, and Ferndale Pride is shifting its schedule around local road resurfacing.

From there, we dive into real estate and transit:

• Lee Plaza Rehab: The historic project is making solid progress, on track to deliver over 100 affordable housing units.
• Arcterra Sale: We analyze what the $75 million receivership sale of downtown’s Arctera apartment building means for the market.
• DDOT Infrastructure: DDOT is rolling out hundreds of new bus shelters and benches to make waiting for transit a lot less miserable.

We also look at new economic pushes—like MichiganLIFT, a manufacturing initiative backed by Ford and JPMorgan Chase—and check in on fresh housing developments in North Corktown.

To wrap up, Norris drops his hot takes on Jalen Duren’s contract standoff with the Pistons, and we break down Detroit City FC’s offensive slumps as they fight to secure a home playoff spot.

Key takeaways

• Waka by Baobab Fare is officially open in Eastern Market, bringing bold African flavors to one of Detroit's busiest tourist destinations.
• The historic Lee Plaza is on track to complete its first phase by the end of the year, transforming the lower ten floors into 117 affordable apartments.
• The Arctera apartment building downtown sold in receivership for $75 million despite maintaining a high occupancy rate of 96 percent.
• DDOT is rolling out over 200 new bus shelters and 200 benches through 2027, focusing on busy stops and adding elevated boarding platforms on East Jefferson.
• The newly launched MichiganLIFT initiative, backed by Ford and JPMorgan Chase, aims to scale local manufacturers by connecting them with real industrial customers.
• Detroit is launching two new housing programs, including 16 parcels in North Corktown and a $2.5 million fund for small-scale apartment projects citywide.

You<00:00:38.399> know,<00:00:38.623> there's<00:00:38.880> a<00:00:38.896> saying<00:00:39.360> I<00:00:39.505> heard<00:00:39.569> once<00:00:39.649> though.

00:00:39.761 --> 00:00:40.226
What<00:00:39.921> is<00:00:40.082> that?

00:00:41.187 --> 00:00:44.873
That<00:00:41.283> the<00:00:41.396> most<00:00:41.748> fun<00:00:42.004> part<00:00:42.261> of<00:00:42.341> a<00:00:42.469> roller<00:00:42.886> coaster<00:00:44.152> is<00:00:44.264> the<00:00:44.392> downhill.

00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:49.680
So<00:00:49.119> roller<00:00:49.360> coaster—.

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:52.052

We<00:07:30.253> talked<00:07:30.477> about<00:07:30.718> Lee<00:07:30.894> Plaza<00:07:31.359> and<00:07:31.776> how<00:07:32.080> awesome<00:07:32.417> that<00:07:32.801> is,<00:07:33.459> but<00:07:33.683> also<00:07:33.924> understanding<00:07:34.581> that<00:07:35.142> That<00:07:35.303> is<00:07:35.383> a<00:07:35.447> very<00:07:35.945> expensive<00:07:36.572> thing<00:07:36.893> to<00:07:36.973> do,<00:07:38.097> and<00:07:38.354> especially<00:07:38.900> rehabs<00:07:39.462> of<00:07:39.559> very<00:07:39.864> old<00:07:40.025> buildings,<00:07:40.426> incredibly<00:07:40.892> expensive<00:07:41.325> to<00:07:41.422> do.

00:07:51.845 --> 00:07:51.925
Yeah.

00:07:52.102 --> 00:07:57.498
So,<00:07:53.114> um,<00:07:53.515> this<00:07:53.692> was<00:07:53.853> a<00:07:53.869> new<00:07:54.174> build<00:07:54.559> and<00:07:54.656> it<00:07:54.736> was<00:07:54.897> a<00:07:54.977> building<00:07:55.378> that<00:07:55.844> I<00:07:55.924> have<00:07:56.101> been<00:07:56.326> in<00:07:56.503> before<00:07:56.904> many<00:07:57.225> times.

00:08:00.582 --> 00:08:07.445
I,<00:08:00.743> I<00:08:00.839> just<00:08:01.064> think<00:08:01.722> to<00:08:01.946> have<00:08:02.187> new<00:08:02.427> ownership<00:08:02.860> now<00:08:03.389> creates<00:08:03.790> a<00:08:03.822> new<00:08:04.110> opportunity<00:08:04.848> to<00:08:05.088> be<00:08:05.313> able<00:08:05.569> to<00:08:06.290> welcome<00:08:06.611> more<00:08:06.852> people<00:08:07.236> into<00:08:07.413> it.

It's<00:08:07.717> still<00:08:07.958> very<00:08:08.294> occupied,<00:08:08.855> by<00:08:08.935> the<00:08:09.000> way.

00:08:09.112 --> 00:08:10.907
It's<00:08:09.416> one<00:08:09.577> of<00:08:09.657> the<00:08:09.817> more<00:08:10.122> occupied<00:08:10.683> buildings.

00:08:11.003 --> 00:08:11.580
That's<00:08:11.244> what<00:08:11.340> the<00:08:11.420> data<00:08:11.532> says.

00:08:11.661 --> 00:08:14.033
Yeah,<00:08:11.981> it's<00:08:12.141> one<00:08:12.286> of<00:08:12.318> the<00:08:12.398> more<00:08:12.686> occupied<00:08:13.167> buildings<00:08:13.568> downtown.

00:08:14.081 --> 00:08:15.636

00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:23.892
But<00:08:17.512> I<00:08:17.592> think<00:08:18.297> it<00:08:18.457> also<00:08:18.858> just<00:08:19.259> represents,<00:08:20.076> because<00:08:20.397> one<00:08:20.557> of<00:08:20.637> the<00:08:20.734> things<00:08:21.038> the<00:08:21.182> old<00:08:21.423> ownership<00:08:21.856> said<00:08:22.160> is<00:08:22.305> that<00:08:22.481> the<00:08:22.641> jobs<00:08:23.106> had<00:08:23.282> not<00:08:23.507> returned.

00:10:45.666 --> 00:10:51.607

They're<00:10:51.993> listeners.

00:10:52.715 --> 00:10:53.293
Yeah,<00:10:53.117> yeah.

00:10:53.374 --> 00:10:55.606
First<00:10:53.550> of<00:10:53.679> all,<00:10:53.919> shout<00:10:54.160> out,<00:10:54.481> it<00:10:54.803> was<00:10:54.899> sit<00:10:55.124> on<00:10:55.204> it<00:10:55.300> Detroit.

00:10:58.496 --> 00:11:12.828
But<00:10:58.576> I<00:10:58.656> remember<00:10:59.137> when<00:10:59.377> this<00:10:59.634> was<00:10:59.810> a<00:10:59.874> thing<00:11:00.900> that<00:11:01.157> the,<00:11:01.462> that,<00:11:01.782> that<00:11:01.975> the<00:11:02.183> community,<00:11:02.920> you<00:11:03.017> know,<00:11:03.321> a<00:11:03.562> nonprofit<00:11:04.347> had<00:11:04.524> to<00:11:04.668> step<00:11:05.021> in<00:11:05.886> and<00:11:06.111> create<00:11:07.008> benches<00:11:07.714> for<00:11:08.211> bus<00:11:08.483> stops<00:11:08.932> because<00:11:09.189> the<00:11:09.269> city<00:11:09.589> simply<00:11:09.974> could<00:11:10.199> not<00:11:10.471> afford<00:11:11.561> to<00:11:11.802> do<00:11:11.978> it<00:11:12.138> themselves.

00:11:13.245 --> 00:11:15.874
And,<00:11:13.581> you<00:11:13.678> know,<00:11:14.046> I,<00:11:14.207> I<00:11:14.223> think<00:11:14.543> this<00:11:14.720> is<00:11:14.864> an<00:11:14.960> amazing<00:11:15.665> thing.

00:11:16.387 --> 00:11:19.289
This<00:11:16.627> is<00:11:16.868> emblematic,<00:11:17.493> I<00:11:17.509> think,<00:11:17.814> of<00:11:17.910> kind<00:11:18.134> of<00:11:18.230> where<00:11:18.391> the<00:11:18.471> city<00:11:19.016> is.

00:11:19.737 --> 00:11:25.316
And<00:11:19.978> on<00:11:20.154> top<00:11:20.459> of<00:11:20.491> that,<00:11:21.260> it's<00:11:21.437> commitment<00:11:22.078> to<00:11:22.318> getting<00:11:22.799> people<00:11:23.184> to<00:11:23.425> using<00:11:23.906> the<00:11:24.002> public<00:11:24.387> transit<00:11:24.884> once<00:11:25.204> more.

00:11:25.685 --> 00:11:34.315
Listen,<00:11:26.070> we<00:11:26.166> have<00:11:26.326> talked<00:11:26.631> many<00:11:26.823> times<00:11:27.208> on<00:11:27.368> this<00:11:27.449> show<00:11:27.769> about<00:11:28.074> the<00:11:28.106> stigma<00:11:29.293> that<00:11:29.678> is<00:11:30.400> around<00:11:30.817> public<00:11:31.218> transit<00:11:31.780> when<00:11:31.940> it<00:11:32.020> comes<00:11:32.261> to<00:11:32.646> specifically<00:11:33.705> Detroiters.

00:11:34.428 --> 00:11:41.408
I<00:11:34.492> think<00:11:34.732> that<00:11:34.845> stigma<00:11:35.230> is<00:11:35.390> a<00:11:35.471> little<00:11:35.711> bit<00:11:35.936> less<00:11:36.177> strong<00:11:36.995> in<00:11:37.139> the<00:11:37.172> suburbs<00:11:37.717> and<00:11:38.022> elsewhere,<00:11:38.359> but<00:11:38.519> specifically<00:11:38.985> in<00:11:39.081> the<00:11:39.161> city<00:11:39.418> of<00:11:39.546> Detroit,<00:11:39.883> there<00:11:40.108> is<00:11:40.220> a<00:11:40.285> stigma<00:11:40.750> about<00:11:40.991> the<00:11:41.167> bus.

00:11:41.954 --> 00:11:55.096
However,<00:11:43.013> beyond<00:11:43.478> the<00:11:43.510> stigma,<00:11:44.441> it<00:11:44.698> was<00:11:45.083> just<00:11:45.420> physically<00:11:46.366> hard<00:11:47.506> to<00:11:47.602> stand<00:11:48.308> there<00:11:48.629> in<00:11:48.789> the<00:11:49.014> cold<00:11:49.736> or<00:11:49.977> in<00:11:50.073> the<00:11:50.218> heat<00:11:51.277> and<00:11:51.421> try<00:11:51.983> to<00:11:52.240> survive<00:11:53.668> catching<00:11:54.326> the<00:11:54.486> Dexter<00:11:54.887> bus.

00:11:55.192 --> 00:12:02.230
Do<00:11:55.353> you<00:11:55.513> know<00:11:55.609> how<00:11:55.770> many<00:11:55.930> times<00:11:56.556> in<00:11:56.652> my<00:11:56.877> head<00:11:57.439> while<00:11:57.631> standing<00:11:58.016> there<00:11:58.241> cold<00:11:58.562> on<00:11:58.658> the<00:11:58.803> corner<00:11:59.284> I've<00:11:59.380> gone,<00:11:59.750> It's<00:12:00.270> so<00:12:00.570> cold<00:12:01.190> in<00:12:01.490> the<00:12:01.790> D.

00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:09.270

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.490
Um,<00:12:09.890> and<00:12:10.050> I<00:12:10.190> think<00:12:10.370> this<00:12:10.570> is<00:12:10.730> a<00:12:10.850> good<00:12:11.150> sign.

00:12:11.490 --> 00:12:14.230
Now,<00:12:11.770> again,<00:12:12.270> you<00:12:12.450> know,<00:12:12.630> I<00:12:12.890> think<00:12:13.130> let's<00:12:13.410> take<00:12:13.590> it<00:12:13.710> up<00:12:13.910> a<00:12:14.230> notch.

00:12:14.230 --> 00:12:15.530
Let's<00:12:14.510> step<00:12:14.770> it<00:12:14.970> up,<00:12:15.110> you<00:12:15.370> know.

00:12:15.530 --> 00:12:17.330
Let's<00:12:15.750> maybe<00:12:16.070> put<00:12:16.210> some<00:12:16.430> heat<00:12:16.690> in<00:12:16.970> them.

00:12:17.330 --> 00:12:20.020
Let's<00:12:17.610> get<00:12:17.770> the<00:12:17.990> heat<00:12:18.230> for<00:12:18.510> the,<00:12:18.770> for<00:12:18.970> the<00:12:19.270> queue<00:12:19.370> line.

00:12:20.110 --> 00:12:23.550

00:12:23.550 --> 00:12:27.150
But,<00:12:23.890> you<00:12:23.950> know,<00:12:24.090> let's,<00:12:24.410> let's<00:12:24.690> maybe<00:12:24.930> create<00:12:25.310> them,<00:12:25.690> uh,<00:12:26.050> to<00:12:26.150> be<00:12:26.230> a<00:12:26.390> little<00:12:26.510> bit<00:12:26.750> heated.

00:12:48.565 --> 00:12:49.195
Yeah,<00:12:48.807> fantastic.

00:13:12.571 --> 00:13:18.810
The<00:13:12.651> pitch<00:13:12.907> is<00:13:13.052> to<00:13:13.132> connect<00:13:13.950> companies<00:13:14.495> with<00:13:14.672> real<00:13:14.992> industrial<00:13:15.474> customers,<00:13:16.035> financing,<00:13:16.917> state<00:13:17.158> support,<00:13:17.639> and<00:13:17.799> workforce<00:13:18.297> resources.

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:26.797
Ford<00:13:19.949> would<00:13:20.125> serve<00:13:20.590> as<00:13:20.783> the<00:13:20.991> anchor<00:13:21.248> buyer,<00:13:21.889> identifying<00:13:22.306> manufacturing<00:13:23.028> and<00:13:23.108> supply<00:13:23.477> chain<00:13:23.654> needs,<00:13:24.359> then<00:13:24.600> opening<00:13:24.921> the<00:13:25.001> door<00:13:25.177> for<00:13:25.322> companies<00:13:25.819> with<00:13:26.140> solutions.

00:13:27.263 --> 00:13:29.349
That<00:13:27.487> is<00:13:27.664> what<00:13:28.049> gives<00:13:28.306> this<00:13:28.546> some<00:13:28.867> credibility.

00:13:29.429 --> 00:13:30.199
I<00:13:29.509> think<00:13:29.670> this<00:13:29.750> is<00:13:29.975> good.

00:13:30.568 --> 00:13:34.661
A<00:13:30.697> lot<00:13:30.809> of<00:13:30.954> economic<00:13:31.435> development<00:13:31.997> and<00:13:32.061> startup<00:13:32.318> programs<00:13:33.024> begin<00:13:33.264> with<00:13:33.441> grants,<00:13:33.987> pitch<00:13:34.243> contests.

00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:36.217
You<00:13:35.190> gotta<00:13:35.335> have<00:13:35.511> somebody<00:13:35.768> buy<00:13:35.993> the<00:13:36.073> thing.

00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:37.373
It's<00:13:36.570> great<00:13:36.795> to<00:13:36.875> get<00:13:36.971> the<00:13:37.052> grant.

00:13:37.517 --> 00:13:43.358
It's<00:13:37.678> great<00:13:37.838> to<00:13:38.015> get<00:13:38.656> whatever<00:13:38.913> money<00:13:39.138> to<00:13:39.218> get<00:13:39.379> started,<00:13:39.780> but<00:13:40.325> what<00:13:40.566> keeps<00:13:40.903> businesses<00:13:41.465> going<00:13:42.588> is<00:13:42.813> customers.

00:13:43.712 --> 00:13:49.168
Ford<00:13:43.952> says<00:13:44.257> it<00:13:44.353> aspires<00:13:44.835> to<00:13:44.931> award<00:13:45.236> up<00:13:45.397> to<00:13:45.477> $1<00:13:45.717> billion<00:13:46.520> in<00:13:46.680> business<00:13:47.001> through<00:13:47.162> the<00:13:47.242> platform<00:13:48.285> over<00:13:48.446> the<00:13:48.526> next<00:13:48.767> decade.

00:13:55.408 --> 00:13:57.749
Uh,<00:13:55.745> now<00:13:56.001> this<00:13:56.226> isn't<00:13:56.402> like<00:13:56.482> a<00:13:56.611> $2<00:13:56.723> million<00:13:57.268> check<00:13:57.508> today.

00:13:58.149 --> 00:14:02.044
This<00:13:58.310> is<00:13:58.390> important,<00:13:59.271> but<00:13:59.576> it<00:13:59.736> is<00:14:00.057> good<00:14:00.233> to<00:14:00.377> kind<00:14:00.554> of<00:14:00.634> help<00:14:01.035> boost<00:14:01.307> some<00:14:01.435> of<00:14:01.515> these<00:14:01.740> things.

00:14:02.397 --> 00:14:11.742
The<00:14:02.557> focus<00:14:03.182> is<00:14:03.503> on<00:14:03.599> robotics,<00:14:04.176> manufacturing<00:14:04.946> automation,<00:14:05.923> batteries,<00:14:06.404> semiconductors,<00:14:07.366> mobility,<00:14:08.328> aerospace,<00:14:09.049> critical<00:14:09.353> minerals,<00:14:10.171> and<00:14:10.331> life<00:14:10.588> sciences<00:14:11.149> manufacturing.

00:14:11.854 --> 00:14:15.541
All<00:14:11.934> stuff<00:14:12.159> that<00:14:12.255> kind<00:14:12.399> of<00:14:12.495> touches<00:14:12.960> Ford<00:14:13.216> in<00:14:13.617> one<00:14:13.777> way<00:14:13.922> or<00:14:13.954> another,<00:14:14.258> even<00:14:14.435> if<00:14:14.563> you<00:14:14.675> don't<00:14:14.915> think<00:14:15.140> about<00:14:15.396> it.

00:14:15.925 --> 00:14:21.487
Ford<00:14:16.118> Philanthropy<00:14:16.823> and<00:14:16.967> JPMorgan<00:14:17.528> Chase<00:14:17.785> are<00:14:18.009> also<00:14:18.185> providing<00:14:18.971> a<00:14:19.051> little<00:14:19.291> over<00:14:19.468> half<00:14:19.708> a<00:14:19.756> million<00:14:20.109> dollars<00:14:20.429> for<00:14:20.542> manufacturing<00:14:21.215> training.

At<00:14:21.872> Focus<00:14:22.257> Hope<00:14:22.577> as<00:14:22.609> well.

00:14:22.834 --> 00:14:34.551
That<00:14:22.994> was<00:14:23.138> the<00:14:23.234> thing<00:14:23.539> I<00:14:23.635> was<00:14:23.796> going<00:14:23.940> to<00:14:24.180> ask,<00:14:24.517> which<00:14:24.821> is,<00:14:25.062> okay,<00:14:26.040> cool,<00:14:26.745> you're<00:14:26.905> putting<00:14:27.226> in,<00:14:27.546> you<00:14:27.627> know,<00:14:28.027> a<00:14:28.268> billy<00:14:29.069> for<00:14:29.630> all<00:14:29.726> these<00:14:29.967> new<00:14:30.127> production<00:14:30.688> jobs,<00:14:31.073> but<00:14:31.169> how<00:14:31.393> you<00:14:31.554> going<00:14:31.714> to<00:14:31.794> train<00:14:32.211> the<00:14:32.291> people<00:14:32.756> to<00:14:32.932> do<00:14:33.189> the<00:14:33.333> work,<00:14:34.215> right?

00:14:34.615 --> 00:14:36.924
Because<00:14:35.016> that<00:14:35.321> has<00:14:35.641> always<00:14:36.138> been<00:14:36.379> the<00:14:36.539> issue.

00:14:37.260 --> 00:14:43.175
We<00:14:37.485> can<00:14:37.725> build<00:14:38.062> the<00:14:38.158> stuff<00:14:38.687> or<00:14:38.783> we<00:14:38.943> can<00:14:39.055> make<00:14:39.424> the<00:14:39.504> program,<00:14:40.145> but<00:14:40.306> we<00:14:40.466> need<00:14:41.011> the<00:14:41.171> workforce<00:14:41.748> to<00:14:41.893> have<00:14:42.149> the<00:14:42.229> know-how<00:14:42.550> to<00:14:42.630> be<00:14:42.790> able<00:14:42.935> to<00:14:43.015> do<00:14:43.095> it.

00:14:43.271 --> 00:14:48.833
So<00:14:43.431> the<00:14:43.576> fact<00:14:43.832> that<00:14:43.976> it<00:14:44.073> comes<00:14:44.794> with<00:14:45.018> a<00:14:45.371> manufacturing<00:14:46.140> training<00:14:47.278> earmark<00:14:47.743> is<00:14:47.904> very<00:14:48.160> important<00:14:48.641> to<00:14:48.737> me.

00:14:49.202 --> 00:15:06.985
I<00:14:49.267> also<00:14:49.459> think<00:14:49.620> it's<00:14:49.764> important<00:14:50.133> to<00:14:50.181> encourage<00:14:50.647> people<00:14:50.952> to<00:14:51.048> try<00:14:51.529> because<00:14:52.396> one<00:14:52.557> of<00:14:52.589> the<00:14:52.717> things<00:14:53.118> I<00:14:53.215> was<00:14:53.455> hearing<00:14:53.760> another<00:14:54.017> report<00:14:54.579> earlier<00:14:54.900> today,<00:14:55.140> and<00:14:55.189> I'm<00:14:55.365> sorry<00:14:55.638> that<00:14:55.766> I<00:14:55.782> can't<00:14:56.007> remember<00:14:56.344> the<00:14:56.424> source<00:14:56.745> for<00:14:56.906> it,<00:14:57.066> but<00:14:57.869> it<00:14:58.029> echoed<00:14:58.415> my<00:14:58.511> experience<00:14:59.056> when<00:14:59.153> I<00:14:59.233> used<00:14:59.393> to<00:14:59.474> work<00:14:59.698> around<00:14:59.971> staffing,<00:15:00.517> is<00:15:00.677> that<00:15:01.303> a<00:15:01.384> lot<00:15:01.560> of<00:15:01.640> people<00:15:02.202> look<00:15:02.587> at<00:15:02.908> changing<00:15:04.272> careers<00:15:04.946> or<00:15:05.011> changing<00:15:05.492> times<00:15:06.054> and<00:15:06.134> they,<00:15:06.375> they<00:15:06.535> tap<00:15:06.840> out.

00:15:07.402 --> 00:15:08.718
They<00:15:07.482> don't<00:15:07.643> want<00:15:07.787> to<00:15:07.883> learn<00:15:08.124> something<00:15:08.525> new.

00:15:09.183 --> 00:15:13.196
And<00:15:09.280> I<00:15:09.408> think<00:15:10.066> you<00:15:10.211> got<00:15:10.339> to<00:15:10.467> kind<00:15:10.708> of<00:15:10.804> embrace<00:15:11.430> that<00:15:11.992> this<00:15:12.169> is<00:15:12.457> always<00:15:12.778> going<00:15:12.955> to<00:15:13.019> change.

00:15:13.244 --> 00:15:17.515
Like<00:15:13.356> literally<00:15:13.757> the<00:15:13.838> job<00:15:14.143> you<00:15:14.303> and<00:15:14.399> I<00:15:14.560> do<00:15:14.720> now<00:15:15.443> did<00:15:15.603> not<00:15:15.828> exist<00:15:16.631> when<00:15:16.792> we<00:15:16.888> came<00:15:17.129> out<00:15:17.226> of<00:15:17.274> school.

00:15:18.414 --> 00:15:20.261
It<00:15:18.735> barely<00:15:19.073> existed<00:15:19.458> 15<00:15:19.860> years<00:15:20.117> ago.

00:15:20.422 --> 00:15:20.759
Right.

00:15:20.887 --> 00:15:21.064
That's—.

00:15:21.064 --> 00:15:22.445
And<00:15:21.160> so<00:15:21.305> it's<00:15:21.530> always<00:15:21.787> going<00:15:21.931> to<00:15:22.012> change.

00:15:22.574 --> 00:15:24.790
And<00:15:22.670> so<00:15:22.847> the<00:15:22.991> idea<00:15:23.313> is<00:15:23.457> that<00:15:23.618> you<00:15:23.698> got<00:15:23.827> to<00:15:23.875> be<00:15:24.180> always<00:15:24.581> learning.

00:15:24.903 --> 00:15:29.400

00:15:29.721 --> 00:15:30.588
Yeah,<00:15:29.978> super<00:15:30.219> important.

00:15:30.685 --> 00:15:36.579

00:15:36.643 --> 00:15:44.079
You<00:15:36.739> know,<00:15:36.948> there's<00:15:37.189> a<00:15:37.269> lot<00:15:37.446> of<00:15:37.478> stuff<00:15:37.751> that<00:15:37.912> I<00:15:37.928> think<00:15:38.972> Metro<00:15:39.373> Detroiters<00:15:40.000> have<00:15:40.417> yet<00:15:40.658> to<00:15:40.819> really<00:15:41.124> come<00:15:41.365> all<00:15:41.526> the<00:15:41.606> way<00:15:41.783> around<00:15:42.168> on,<00:15:42.264> but<00:15:42.377> manufacturing<00:15:43.292> is<00:15:43.389> not<00:15:43.694> one<00:15:43.870> of<00:15:44.015> them.

00:15:44.356 --> 00:15:48.409
It's<00:15:44.503> a<00:15:44.584> thing<00:15:44.911> that<00:15:45.091> we<00:15:45.320> do<00:15:45.565> very<00:15:45.827> well<00:15:46.072> here<00:15:46.333> and<00:15:46.644> have<00:15:46.873> the<00:15:47.036> infrastructure<00:15:47.706> to<00:15:47.853> expand<00:15:48.344> on.

00:15:57.636 --> 00:16:06.944
The<00:15:57.717> city<00:15:57.895> of<00:15:57.959> Detroit<00:15:58.282> is<00:15:58.363> rolling<00:15:58.670> out<00:15:58.848> two<00:15:59.332> new<00:15:59.574> housing<00:16:00.059> development<00:16:00.527> programs,<00:16:01.092> one<00:16:01.270> focused<00:16:01.754> on<00:16:01.916> North<00:16:02.223> Corktown<00:16:02.643> near<00:16:02.820> Michigan<00:16:03.192> Central<00:16:03.935> and<00:16:04.015> another<00:16:04.484> aimed<00:16:04.887> at<00:16:05.000> smaller<00:16:05.453> apartment<00:16:05.792> buildings<00:16:06.133> citywide.

00:16:07.414 --> 00:16:13.495
First,<00:16:07.739> the<00:16:07.820> city<00:16:08.064> is<00:16:08.226> putting<00:16:08.566> 16<00:16:09.345> vacant<00:16:09.686> parcels<00:16:10.254> along<00:16:10.578> 16th<00:16:11.227> Street<00:16:11.956> in<00:16:12.052> North<00:16:12.293> Corktown<00:16:12.758> out<00:16:12.854> for<00:16:12.966> proposals.

00:16:13.880 --> 00:16:18.049

00:16:18.466 --> 00:16:21.304
The<00:16:18.562> city<00:16:18.867> says<00:16:19.107> projects<00:16:19.588> can<00:16:19.764> be<00:16:19.909> market<00:16:20.229> rate<00:16:20.550> or<00:16:20.710> mixed<00:16:21.015> income.

00:16:21.737 --> 00:16:30.940
If<00:16:21.769> a<00:16:21.833> proposal<00:16:22.330> includes<00:16:22.699> homes<00:16:23.099> affordable<00:16:23.596> to<00:16:23.741> households<00:16:24.238> making<00:16:24.542> up<00:16:24.655> to<00:16:24.879> 80%<00:16:26.001> of<00:16:26.162> the<00:16:26.386> area<00:16:26.579> median<00:16:26.964> income,<00:16:27.445> it<00:16:27.589> could<00:16:27.749> qualify<00:16:28.326> for<00:16:28.551> up<00:16:28.727> to<00:16:28.968> $1.4<00:16:29.689> million<00:16:30.491> in<00:16:30.651> funding.

00:16:31.517 --> 00:16:35.301
The<00:16:31.597> second<00:16:31.934> piece<00:16:32.399> is<00:16:32.575> $2.5<00:16:33.040> million<00:16:33.698> through<00:16:33.842> Detroit's<00:16:34.291> Small<00:16:34.563> Buildings<00:16:34.900> Program.

00:16:35.766 --> 00:16:43.962
That's<00:16:36.167> aimed<00:16:36.407> at<00:16:36.487> helping<00:16:36.824> developers<00:16:37.369> close<00:16:37.626> financing<00:16:38.107> gaps<00:16:38.828> on<00:16:38.989> 2<00:16:39.149> to<00:16:39.229> 7<00:16:39.550> unit<00:16:39.855> buildings<00:16:40.576> either<00:16:40.817> rehabbing<00:16:41.298> vacant<00:16:41.555> properties<00:16:42.116> or<00:16:42.261> building<00:16:42.678> new<00:16:42.935> small-scale<00:16:43.641> housing.

00:16:44.202 --> 00:16:45.823
That's<00:16:44.347> something<00:16:44.603> I<00:16:44.684> see<00:16:44.844> a<00:16:45.005> lot<00:16:45.245> on<00:16:45.390> the<00:16:45.550> East<00:16:45.662> Side.

00:16:45.887 --> 00:16:48.695
There's<00:16:46.063> a<00:16:46.208> lot<00:16:46.432> of<00:16:46.529> vacant<00:16:46.850> ones<00:16:47.106> that<00:16:47.235> could<00:16:47.331> be<00:16:47.491> redone<00:16:47.828> that<00:16:47.957> would<00:16:48.037> be<00:16:48.133> very<00:16:48.438> cool.

00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:56.172
The<00:16:49.240> city<00:16:49.513> is<00:16:49.657> using<00:16:50.155> 0%<00:16:50.941> loans<00:16:51.262> that<00:16:51.342> can<00:16:51.487> be<00:16:51.583> forgiven<00:16:52.545> if<00:16:52.626> developers<00:16:53.267> meet<00:16:53.492> the<00:16:53.572> program<00:16:53.893> requirements,<00:16:54.792> including<00:16:55.209> affordability<00:16:55.899> rules.

00:16:56.797 --> 00:17:00.375
To<00:16:56.877> me,<00:16:57.134> the<00:16:57.214> North<00:16:57.519> Corktown<00:16:58.001> piece<00:16:58.386> is<00:16:58.723> a<00:16:58.803> big<00:16:58.963> headline<00:16:59.445> because<00:16:59.749> of<00:16:59.830> where<00:17:00.006> it<00:17:00.151> is.

00:17:00.792 --> 00:17:09.055
The<00:17:00.873> neighborhood<00:17:01.226> stuff's<00:17:01.546> important,<00:17:02.012> but<00:17:02.734> I<00:17:02.798> wanted<00:17:02.958> to<00:17:03.039> highlight<00:17:03.456> it<00:17:03.616> because<00:17:04.338> I<00:17:04.418> think<00:17:04.563> there's<00:17:04.804> so<00:17:04.964> much<00:17:05.205> energy<00:17:05.542> towards<00:17:05.846> the<00:17:05.943> big<00:17:06.103> buildings,<00:17:06.504> and<00:17:06.568> I<00:17:06.584> understand<00:17:07.050> why—<00:17:07.387> they<00:17:07.547> photograph<00:17:07.948> really<00:17:08.173> well<00:17:08.333> on<00:17:08.414> Instagram.

There<00:23:08.382> are<00:23:08.800> good<00:23:09.041> things,<00:23:09.378> right?

00:23:09.603 --> 00:23:10.742
The<00:23:09.683> defense<00:23:10.389> is<00:23:10.550> great.

00:23:10.871 --> 00:23:12.894
Carlos<00:23:11.272> Herrera,<00:23:12.396> what<00:23:12.573> a<00:23:12.717> goal!

00:23:13.038 --> 00:23:15.639
I<00:23:13.215> didn't<00:23:13.456> think<00:23:13.697> we<00:23:13.777> could<00:23:13.937> find<00:23:14.178> somebody<00:23:14.580> better<00:23:14.820> than<00:23:14.933> Nate<00:23:15.125> Steinwasher.

00:23:15.944 --> 00:23:16.988
No<00:23:16.105> offense<00:23:16.362> to<00:23:16.426> Nate<00:23:16.603> Steinwasher.

00:23:17.052 --> 00:23:18.417
Yeah,<00:23:17.871> I<00:23:17.951> think<00:23:18.112> we<00:23:18.192> did.

00:23:18.834 --> 00:23:19.332
I<00:23:18.914> think<00:23:19.075> so<00:23:19.236> too.

00:23:19.541 --> 00:23:20.681
Carlos<00:23:19.878> Herrera<00:23:20.279> is<00:23:20.424> great.

00:23:20.761 --> 00:23:20.889
Yeah.

00:23:21.226 --> 00:23:23.940
But<00:23:22.366> brother,<00:23:22.848> where<00:23:23.153> art<00:23:23.330> thou<00:23:23.635> goals?

00:23:24.357 --> 00:23:25.305
We<00:23:24.438> can't<00:23:24.727> score,<00:23:25.016> man.

00:23:25.562 --> 00:23:26.573
We<00:23:25.738> cannot<00:23:26.300> score.

00:23:26.702 --> 00:23:34.425
And<00:23:26.846> it's<00:23:27.103> weird<00:23:27.488> because<00:23:27.810> there<00:23:27.906> was<00:23:28.083> a<00:23:28.227> point<00:23:28.468> in<00:23:28.629> time<00:23:29.431> for<00:23:29.608> most<00:23:30.218> of<00:23:30.298> the<00:23:30.331> season<00:23:30.716> where<00:23:30.876> Darren<00:23:31.117> Smith<00:23:31.503> was<00:23:31.679> the,<00:23:31.904> was<00:23:32.161> the<00:23:32.723> goals<00:23:33.044> leader<00:23:33.349> for<00:23:33.510> the<00:23:33.606> entire<00:23:34.072> league.

00:23:34.875 --> 00:23:38.375
And<00:23:35.131> now<00:23:35.469> it's<00:23:35.677> just<00:23:35.806> seemed<00:23:36.015> like<00:23:36.239> offensively<00:23:36.962> we've<00:23:37.299> fallen<00:23:37.765> off<00:23:37.957> a<00:23:38.086> cliff.

00:23:38.808 --> 00:23:46.259
And<00:23:38.969> I<00:23:38.985> don't<00:23:39.290> really<00:23:39.563> know<00:23:39.772> what<00:23:39.868> the<00:23:40.093> answer<00:23:40.430> is,<00:23:40.671> but<00:23:40.976> I<00:23:41.072> could<00:23:41.313> tell<00:23:41.634> you<00:23:41.779> from<00:23:41.955> my<00:23:42.196> own<00:23:42.582> eyeballs<00:23:43.706> is<00:23:43.866> that<00:23:44.203> we're<00:23:44.428> just<00:23:44.605> not<00:23:44.765> pulling<00:23:45.087> the<00:23:45.231> trigger<00:23:45.488> in<00:23:45.568> the<00:23:45.649> attacking<00:23:46.130> third.

00:23:46.772 --> 00:23:51.757
We<00:23:46.932> get<00:23:47.157> into<00:23:47.349> the<00:23:47.493> box,<00:23:48.199> we<00:23:48.295> get<00:23:48.519> onto<00:23:48.776> the<00:23:48.856> wing,<00:23:49.561> and<00:23:49.657> we're<00:23:49.882> just<00:23:50.122> not<00:23:50.379> shooting<00:23:50.844> the<00:23:50.940> ball,<00:23:51.565> right?

00:23:51.886 --> 00:24:01.199
I<00:23:52.302> literally<00:23:52.703> see<00:23:53.008> other<00:23:53.248> teams<00:23:53.729> come<00:23:53.970> to<00:23:54.050> Keyworth<00:23:54.707> or<00:23:54.787> play<00:23:55.092> us<00:23:55.252> at<00:23:55.332> home,<00:23:55.989> and<00:23:56.069> they<00:23:56.214> have<00:23:56.470> maybe<00:23:56.775> have<00:23:56.951> a<00:23:57.015> shot<00:23:57.208> or<00:23:57.352> two<00:23:57.496> from<00:23:57.673> outside<00:23:57.993> the<00:23:58.153> box,<00:23:58.714> or<00:23:58.795> maybe<00:23:59.179> when<00:23:59.276> they<00:23:59.420> get<00:23:59.596> a<00:23:59.660> half<00:23:59.917> yard<00:24:00.093> of<00:24:00.173> space,<00:24:00.542> they<00:24:00.638> take<00:24:00.895> a<00:24:00.959> shot.

00:24:01.536 --> 00:24:06.056
I'm<00:24:01.744> not<00:24:01.921> seeing<00:24:02.241> that<00:24:02.401> same<00:24:02.802> level<00:24:03.123> of,<00:24:03.267> I<00:24:03.363> guess,<00:24:03.588> confidence<00:24:04.165> or<00:24:04.389> audacity<00:24:05.127> from<00:24:05.287> our<00:24:05.447> strikers.

00:24:06.553 --> 00:24:08.092
And<00:24:06.810> I<00:24:06.890> think<00:24:07.034> that's<00:24:07.307> a<00:24:07.435> big<00:24:07.611> problem.

00:24:09.214 --> 00:24:12.837
Well,<00:24:09.679> there's<00:24:09.936> two<00:24:10.080> matches<00:24:10.368> this<00:24:10.577> week,<00:24:10.881> one<00:24:11.282> in<00:24:11.442> Brooklyn,<00:24:11.843> which<00:24:11.955> we<00:24:12.084> will<00:24:12.244> not<00:24:12.500> be<00:24:12.645> at.

00:24:12.981 --> 00:24:14.424
No,<00:24:13.302> that's<00:24:13.478> our<00:24:13.623> game<00:24:13.879> in<00:24:14.023> hand.

00:24:14.488 --> 00:24:18.672
We<00:24:14.584> did<00:24:14.745> have<00:24:14.921> an<00:24:15.049> extra<00:24:15.306> game<00:24:15.690> above<00:24:16.300> Charleston<00:24:17.005> Battery,<00:24:17.454> and<00:24:17.550> that<00:24:17.806> is<00:24:18.095> our<00:24:18.271> extra<00:24:18.512> game.

00:24:18.833 --> 00:24:19.989
And<00:24:18.929> I'm<00:24:19.058> glad<00:24:19.250> it's<00:24:19.395> against<00:24:19.635> Brooklyn.

00:24:20.181 --> 00:24:21.208
They're<00:24:20.310> not<00:24:20.615> a<00:24:20.679> great<00:24:20.919> team.

00:24:21.401 --> 00:24:21.866
They're<00:24:21.529> not<00:24:21.722> good.

00:24:21.963 --> 00:24:22.813
Expansion<00:24:22.509> team.

00:24:22.926 --> 00:24:24.772
We<00:24:23.151> all<00:24:23.263> know<00:24:23.472> how<00:24:23.616> expansion<00:24:24.049> teams<00:24:24.354> usually<00:24:24.691> are.

00:24:24.916 --> 00:24:25.269
Is<00:24:25.077> what<00:24:25.189> is.

00:24:25.333 --> 00:24:26.184
But<00:24:25.494> their<00:24:25.654> logo's<00:24:26.040> nice.

00:24:26.521 --> 00:24:33.391
The,<00:24:26.762> uh,<00:24:27.340> I<00:24:27.404> will<00:24:27.516> say<00:24:27.821> though<00:24:28.062> that<00:24:28.319> it's<00:24:28.544> starting<00:24:28.865> to<00:24:28.945> look<00:24:29.105> like<00:24:29.330> Charleston<00:24:30.213> and<00:24:30.309> Tampa<00:24:30.694> Bay<00:24:30.855> are<00:24:30.935> starting<00:24:31.272> to<00:24:31.353> like<00:24:31.979> lock<00:24:32.300> in<00:24:32.476> that<00:24:32.701> 1<00:24:32.861> and<00:24:32.958> 2<00:24:33.118> spot.

00:24:33.905 --> 00:24:36.425
For<00:24:34.065> me,<00:24:34.242> I<00:24:34.322> just<00:24:34.482> want<00:24:34.659> us<00:24:34.803> in<00:24:34.884> the<00:24:34.948> top<00:24:35.189> 4<00:24:35.429> for<00:24:35.558> a<00:24:35.606> home<00:24:35.767> playoff<00:24:36.168> game.

00:24:36.890 --> 00:24:38.929
I<00:24:36.970> don't<00:24:37.211> think<00:24:37.436> 1<00:24:37.612> is<00:24:37.853> like—<00:24:38.094> 1's<00:24:38.335> not<00:24:38.495> realistic.

00:24:38.977 --> 00:24:41.111
So<00:24:39.057> if<00:24:39.121> you<00:24:39.217> can't<00:24:39.378> get<00:24:39.603> 1,<00:24:40.164> get<00:24:40.261> that<00:24:40.485> home<00:24:40.646> playoff<00:24:40.983> spot.

00:24:41.208 --> 00:24:42.026
I<00:24:41.368> want<00:24:41.497> number<00:24:41.786> 2.

00:24:42.171 --> 00:24:43.214
I<00:24:42.428> want<00:24:42.652> us<00:24:42.749> to<00:24:42.829> go<00:24:42.989> for<00:24:43.166> it.

00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:52.937
Like,<00:24:43.535> I<00:24:43.696> want<00:24:43.824> number<00:24:44.113> 2<00:24:44.338> because<00:24:44.659> I<00:24:44.675> could<00:24:44.835> tell<00:24:45.140> you<00:24:45.381> I<00:24:45.558> would<00:24:45.798> much<00:24:46.119> rather<00:24:46.440> play<00:24:47.884> you<00:24:47.964> know,<00:24:48.205> potentially<00:24:48.766> Indy<00:24:49.071> 11<00:24:49.649> or<00:24:49.793> Rhode<00:24:50.114> Island<00:24:50.434> didn't<00:24:50.691> play<00:24:51.076> Louisville<00:24:51.670> again<00:24:52.199> in<00:24:52.295> the<00:24:52.375> playoffs.

00:24:53.257 --> 00:24:54.172
That's<00:24:53.642> just<00:24:53.963> me.

00:24:54.717 --> 00:24:58.294
So,<00:24:55.407> um,<00:24:55.744> you<00:24:55.840> know,<00:24:56.289> I<00:24:56.385> want<00:24:56.498> them<00:24:56.578> to<00:24:56.786> push<00:24:57.011> for<00:24:57.107> that<00:24:57.203> second<00:24:57.572> spot,<00:24:57.973> period.

00:24:58.631 --> 00:25:05.608

You<00:25:09.618> were<00:25:09.778> talking<00:25:10.115> about<00:25:10.404> that,<00:25:10.661> like,<00:25:10.965> on—<00:25:11.238> you<00:25:11.366> were<00:25:11.447> talking<00:25:11.687> about<00:25:11.864> that<00:25:12.088> at<00:25:12.184> the<00:25:12.265> game<00:25:12.746> on<00:25:12.906> Saturday,<00:25:13.291> that<00:25:13.452> you<00:25:13.548> want<00:25:13.708> that<00:25:13.820> mask.
