Kalshi Sports Paused in Michigan, Detroit’s Housing Advantage, and Big3 Fun at LCA

Show notes

I’ve got a three‑parter for you today!

First, Norris and I headed down to Little Caesars Arena for Big3. It's a three‑on‑three traveling basketball league. We talk about why it might be one of the more accessible ways to see good hoops in town this summer as they're coming back in about a month.

Then, we unpack why Michigan’s Attorney General went to court to pause Kalshi’s sports contracts here, and what that says about the blurry line between “prediction markets” and gambling. T

Finally, we dig into new Rocket data showing the Detroit area at the top of the list for how quickly first‑time buyers can save a down payment — and what that means if you already own, or you’re trying to get your foot in the door.

As always, it’s about making sense of what’s happening in and around Detroit — and giving you a couple of ideas for what to do next.
