Summary
Detroit's downtown housing study is back, and the headline is clear: there's still a lot of runway to grow. Norris and I dig into what so many potential new units really means and how incentives, red tape, and construction costs shape what actually gets built. Then we get into lessons from Ann Arbor's plan to turn a parking lot into a library-and-housing hub, and what real urban density could look like in Michigan and Metro Detroit. After all, Norris hates surface parking lots in cities. Plus, we end on some joy with the Michigan Science Center's adults-only Aurora Space Party this Friday night and a call to bring back a sense of wonder. https://www.mi-sci.org/after-dark-auroras-space-party/ Follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get shows!
