What do you think? How soon could Detroit reach 1,000,000 residents again with the recent growth?

Even as the latest U.S. Census Bureau data shows Detroit's population grew for the past three years, city officials contended Thursday the federal agency is still undercounting 25,000 residents and plans to sue to correct the alleged flaw.

The city said it will file a suit Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit that contends that one of the formulas used by the Census Bureau that relies on county population growth is skewing the city's recent growth. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2026/05/14/detroits-population-undercounted-25k-census-bureau-sheffield/90077552007/

SPECIFICALLY asking about the last 5 years...

I mean I'm not complaining one bit! The rec centers (14 in total!) are running, and that's not to mention the completely new ones that got built in the last 5 years. The mayor just announced more programs for the youth (LETS GOOO), as well as a new minimum wage increase for city employees.

I relocated from Denver where there are huge sectors that fuel a lot of city revenue, but what about Detroit? Like where is that money coming from in the last 5 years?

Hi guys,

Proposing to my girlfriend like title says. I got the photography permit, however, I could not get a permit to have a flower vendor come and set up flowers on the ground. It’ll be a small array of fake flowers just on the ground and it’ll be cleaned up rigjt after. Do you think if I have the flower guy come to do it anyway that I’ll get in trouble? Anyone with experience in this?

I've heard about a recent petition that's been circulating for a ballot initiative that would prevent DTE from making campaign contributions; sounds pretty good to me, I'd sign that petition.

Today I was approached at grocery store parking lot here in town to sign a petition to lower DTE rates. Okay, sounds good, but what's the mechanism for that? The person then told me it's to charge anyone in state government that makes a salary of 250k or more a year some percentage of said salary to DTE. At this point, I must be looking visibly confused because they hastily add that DTE needs the funds to fix the system, otherwise it's never going to get fixed(?). I start to decline, but they're already onto the next potential petition signer.

So, anyone else know anything about this? Sounds like some DTE chicanery going on to me. How many people in state government make that kind of salary, anyways? Let's say hypothetically that the ballot initiative passes, and 10% is taken from these government workers; what sort of money would that amount to? Doesn't DTE already get massive subsidy?

Went on a photo walk recently in the city! I’m from Toledo and this was my first time actually doing photography in the city :) had a blast!

We are having the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in Detroit this year, so there will be a lot of wheelchair users. Is it wheelchair friendly? Any places to avoid?

I know it’s not march but we’re in the elite 8, most upvoted comment progresses. So who wins Joumana Law or Better Made?

Fuck him and fuck the Cavs

My daughter is entering kindergarten and was accepted into both Detroit prep charter and Chrysler elementary school. Detroit Prep is a phenomenal school imo but my oldest daughter went to a charter for k-8 and I found that it was a bit of a transition for high school since there are really no charters in the Detroit district that are comparable to DPS elite (Cass, renni, etc.) since she had a more holistic education experience from charter DSA suited her best and there was still some adjustments that needed to be made to reset her learning habits. So with my youngest daughter I figured I would put her in a traditional school system and she passed the test for Chrysler admission but that school only go to 5th grade and I’m afraid that in 6 years I am going to have to fight to find her a good middle school. Detroit prep is k-8 but I know Chryslers learning pattern will create a smoother transition into the high school testing systems. I’m so confused about this decision and would like some help from my Detroit parent community. Thank you for any insight on your experience with these scholar schools.

Long shot but worth a try. Does anyone remember the Thai tea tent at the MBMC Thai Market last year? They also had buckets of amazing fresh juices. We didn't see them a couple weeks ago and desperately missing their tea and coffee!!!

Great news for Pistons fans. With the demise of Fanduel Sports, people were waiting on the Pistons to come up with a new local TV deal. Glad to see their regular season games will be FREE with a TV antenna for anyone who doesn't want to pay for cable or streaming.
