@CadesAttorney Are you aware that the team is not owned by Chris Ilitch?

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@DE_Gifford @jcreindl @OlympiaDetroit @LCArena_Detroit Just a general comment: these convention center hotels are funded using the convention authority’s bonding ability, it’s majority-owned by the state of michigan, so different feasibility than a traditional private financing. Hoping LCA hotel happens soon as been rumored

@DE_Gifford @jcreindl People coming downtown for conventions aren’t taking a bus from the airport

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@DE_Gifford @cityofwarren You should move to the city of Detroit!

@riger1984 What can he say? He has answered those questions repeatedly. What new answers would there be? Quickest way to ruin the interview. Extremely stupid.

Tobias Harris:
-Signed with Pistons when they were at their absolute lowest with motivation to turn the franchise around

-Huge part in Pistons resurgent 2024-25 season, first playoff appearance +wins in years

-Vocal locker room leader, active in the community with the Tobias Harris Family Foundation

-Never lost the faith in 3-1 comeback against Orlando

-Best playoff stretch of his career, saved the Pistons from embarrassment multiple times

-Leaves the Pistons as a solidified contender after unthinkable turnaround

@TigsTown I think that’s a good point. I think the goal is cutting down on travel time and making it easier. Which encourages mobility/spending around the state and makes for more attractive lifestyle if you can easily get around. But the focus should be regional/local detroit transit imo

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@KoreaPistonsFan Got a lot of ground to make up still

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@violetikon So the police should let someone with a gun run into a crowd? Weird to prioritize the safety of the person running from police with a gun over the safety of Detroit families enjoying fireworks

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@violetikon Gang violence has plagued detroit for too long and there has to be enforcement of the law. People hanging around a downtown event brandishing guns are not safe individuals. Is it unfortunate that he was shot? Of course. Easy solution: don’t endanger officers and the public.

@BacktoDetroit Thats gonna rock. Beautiful

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@DE_Gifford The program simply recaptures 50% of the NEW taxes the project generates. Its not cash from residents. I do think GM is at fault for moving employees to Warren and should step up more.

@wischlist @ciullo100 Their lease ends in at Soldier Field in 6 years and they’d love to leave earlier. Poor stadium experience for team and players. Takes years to design and build a world-class stadium.

@ChadLivengood @ben_warren03 @detroitnews How would home value increases affect maintenance costs? And taxable value increases are capped annually.

Home value increases are one of the most positive things we can ask for in detroit - builds generational wealth for those who stayed.

@molzer Will your unit and office will be connected?

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@molzer Any major takeaways or things you wish you could tell yourself?

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@DE_Gifford It is in horrid condition and not adjacent to their corridor along woodward/rocket offices. $3M is more than its worth. They are focusing on execution rather than expansion now, so no surprise. However, I really wish they did because it seems unlikely this buyer can redevelop it

[Colt O’Connor @DvsEverybody313]

@strongerdetroit Well done!
