What's going on with I-375? (w/ Eric Larson, Downtown Detroit Partnership)

One of the projects in Detroit that's gotten a lot of attention locally and nationally is the proposed removal of the I-375 freeway in downtown Detroit and turning it back into something that fits with the fabric of a community.

How Detroit (and Michigan) could grow more startups and tech (ft. Brian McCullough)
Daily Detroit
There has been a lot of talk about growing Detroit, Southeast Michigan and Michigan's economy through startups and technology. But how do you actually do it - not just here, but in a number of cities across the country that aren't Silicon Valley, Seattle, New York City or other existing hubs?

Not only is he the founder and host of the daily Techmeme Ride Home podcast (among others), he's an enterpreneur, investor, and internet historian.

Duggan is done as Detroit mayor. What's next? Plus, FanDuel single game pricing misses the net
Daily Detroit
A full house as Jer, Norris and Devon are all in. First, Detroit mayor Mike Duggan is not seeking another term. We break down what it means for the city and the kinds of candidates we'd like to see to push Detroit forward (and two of us are current city residents, one is a former one but works every day in the city). Some of the considerations include - do they have the competency to handle a two-billion dollar plus budget? Although Mayor Duggan has made a lot of progress, there's still a lot more work to do. Then, we get into talking about the new FanDuel offer of individual Pistons and Red...

Terrible text messages, New Detroit school, and finding places of peace
Daily Detroit
info_outlineWelcome to your Daily Detroit!
This episode kicks off with a lively discussion on Detroit's social media clapback against Equanimeous St. Brown's comments about the city, highlighting the spirited defense of the Motor City.
The conversation shifts to the financial troubles of Detroit's Riverfront Towers, now facing challenges despite high occupancy rates. Background reading: https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/michigan/2024/10/08/riverfront-towers-detroit-delinquency-morningstar/75568131007/
Next, we tackle the electric vehicle (EV) debate in Michigan, sparked by a US Senate candidate who is against EV factory and battery plant construction. That lines up with a poll that shows almost half of Michiganders don't want to compete for EV business.
With EV sales on the rise and younger generations embracing the technology, we discuss the importance of Michigan staying competitive in the EV manufacturing landscape. Even if you don't like EVs, shouldn't we make them for those that do? Shouldn't Michigan stay the center of the auto industry? Poll source: https://michauto.org/politicization-of-evs-existential-threat/
Also, that poll reveals hesitance among non-college-educated voters to pursue further education.
To wrap up, they share a fun experience visiting the "Tyrannosaurus: Meet the Family" exhibit at the Michigan Science Center, a must-see for dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. Get tickets: https://www.mi-sci.org/meet-the-family-tyrannosaurus/
