#TwoDetroits

Before there can be One Detroit, Our Detroit, we must confront the past and work genuinely to bridge the inequity of Two Detroits.

My latest column urging Detroit’s billionaire investor Dan Gilbert to help bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice in a city that gave him so much. Yet it's a city ravaged by abject child poverty...

I guess we just have to keep correcting the record:

Mike Duggan didn’t “steer” Detroit through the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.

He wasn’t even elected in July 2013 when a state-appointed emergency manager filed for Ch. 9 protection. He was largely sidelined for his first year in office while EM Kevyn Orr (and attorneys at Jones Day) steered the city through bankruptcy negotiations with creditors.

Duggan didn’t get full control of City Hall until December 2014 after Detroit exited bankruptcy.

@CityofDetroit @detroithawkeye @MayorMikeDuggan Would love to see the math on $3.9B talking point. Bing secured the streetlights and neighborhood signs don’t hit the way you think they do. Bing did a thing at the beginning of Duggan’s first term and now nhoods get pennies for some damn signs at the end of his third term?

Speculators control an enormous share of Detroit’s real estate: Around 20% of properties since the early 2010s, according to experts.

Anyone know why Duggan’s Detroit has such bad healthcare access and horrendous buses when that man was former CEO of a health system and former CEO of a bus system?

From McKinsey and MichAuto

@McKinsey @AutomationWorkz @Google @Horace_Tiggs_IV 5. 76% of Michigan companies report strong mentorship problems and career development opportunities can help lead to companies retain Black tech talent.

6. 65% of Black small business owners in the Detroit Region found accessing capital to be very challenging.

@MayorMikeDuggan @HenryFordHealth Uhhh, what about the DMC? Remember that mess you made of health care in the city?

[#TwoDetroits @twodetroits]

@HenryFordHealth @MayorMikeDuggan But what about the DMC? Remember that mess you made of health care in the city?

[#TwoDetroits @twodetroits]

@rrroooiiirrr They must be bankrolling his governor bid

[#TwoDetroits @twodetroits]

@MayorMikeDuggan What this the royal “we” - city government didn’t build shit and just got in the way

[#TwoDetroits @twodetroits]

@adamlashinsky @sfstandard Lord, good propaganda piece for the dude. You know less than 20% of Detroiters voted for him or vote at all.

[Detroit Metro Times @metrotimes]

The city has the highest unemployment rate, poverty rate, and divorce rate in the U.S.

But @MayorMikeDuggan ended #TwoDetroits

[don lonnagen @wouldbirds]

@Alex_Washington compare this with how welcoming they were for the Draft...then compare the demographics and yea. it's as anti-black as it gets

Oh duggy, but that don’t mean it ain’t true #twodetroits

[Malachi Barrett @PolarBarrett]

Duggan: "I've changed politics in the city."

"Us-vs.-them politics is basically dead. The candidates who try to run on it get clobbered, they get clobbered in city council races, and it certainly wouldn't succeed in a mayor's race."

While population gains are a positive sign for any city, the growth in Detroit is far more nuanced and complicated than a single estimate can reveal.

Draft weekend has arrived, and the city has painstakingly hung temporary construction lighting in long abandoned buildings as window dressing for all the NFL guests. In addition to the "Hollywood" sign, Detroiters know these quick fixes and flare are not for those who live here

Black developers are involved and benefiting in higher-stakes projects, but there are still numerous underserved neighborhoods waiting to see the same levels of investment as Downtown and Midtown.⁠
