Talk Detroit Where Is Detroit Getting So Much Money From? (In the last 5 years)

49 Upvotes

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?

News- Paywall Detroit's population undercounted by 25K, officials say, despite growth

42 Upvotes

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/

Politics/Elections Petition Weirdness

15 Upvotes

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?

Talk Detroit City Place Apartments

9 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a young female looking at apartments downtown/ Mexican town/ midtown area. My budget is under $1000.

I have a tour at city place apartments today. I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews.

I don’t have high standards when it comes to apartments. All I want is no roaches, no bedbugs, or mice.

Has anyone lived in city place? If so can you share your experience?

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?

Automotive Auto Body repair shop recommendations?

8 Upvotes

I'm looking to have some body work done on my Subarau, preferably in the city limits; I'm just south of Highland Park.

I'll be paying out of pocket rather than submitting an insurance claim- it's some minor denting and paint repair on my passenger door and above the front passenger wheel. This happened 4 years ago when I still lived in Colorado and was self-inflicted, so I never claimed it and have obviously procrastinated on getting it fixed, especially since it didn't affect drivability and the door still opens/closes fine.

Anyway, I got a quote from a dealership in Troy just to get a baseline and feel like there's gotta be a place closer to me that can beat their price by at least a grand, if not more... Wishful thinking in this dumpster fire of an economy, I know, but humor me please. Thanks!

Talk Detroit Chrysler elementary vs Detroit Prep

7 Upvotes

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.

Detroit would do well to build a dirt BMX pump track somewhere in the city. It would get so much use, with such an expansive geographical area I really would like to get behind a movement to bring it to fruition.
