Census Bureau: Detroit has gained 11,000 residents over the last two years, representing the largest numeric increase in Michigan. The city has now grown by >1% since the 2020 count.
Just incredible news, especially considering the situation 10-15 years ago.

Indianapolis had some good rainwater infrastructure. I would really like to see more of this in Detroit with all our flooding issues.

What's the deal with Detroit's Rivertown?
Belle Isle to the east. Downtown to the west. Waterfront parks to the south. Retail/groceries/etc north along Jefferson.
Should be a booming artsy loft district, yet it's maybe the slowest developing downtown-adjacent neighborhood.

Trust for Public Lands ranking of 100 largest US city park scores puts Detroit at 53. Equity & access are very good, but median park size and amount of dedicated parkland have room for improvement.

Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan may be the closest city in the country electorally
