We've made it to Friday! Let's talk Detroit stuff:

01:32 - Devon went to HIROKI-SAN in the Book Tower, and has thoughts.

03:44 - There's a new restaurant coming to the David Whitney Building, Presley's

06:47 - Two new hotels are apparently planned along Woodward. But will they actually happen? Skeptical.

11:36 - Mr. Chimetime has taken Metro Detroit by storm with his food reviews, but there's some top places we don't (think) he's visited yet that are in his carryout kinda vibe. So we figured we'd come up with a bunch we enjoy - and think you'll enjoy - whether he hears us or not.

On your Daily Detroit for Wednesday, February 21st, 2024 - we're going to talk about a new approach to attainable housing.

As you know, housing prices have been skyrocketing in the city, the region and the state. In fact, Detroit's area housing prices rose faster than anywhere else in the country.

That's putting the idea of owning a home out of reach, and maybe we need to look at some new ways of tackling this problem.

That's where a new program, "Tomorrow's Housing Innovation Showcase" might come in. In partnership between the Gilbert Family Foundation and the North Corktown Neighborhood Association; they're trying something different.

I talk with Darnell Adams of the Gilbert Family Foundation about it.

Rundown:

02:12 - What does the Gilbert Family Foundation do?

04:51 - The North Corktown housing program

08:06 - We break down what the "Tomorrow's Housing Innovation Showcase" is.

09:05 - What does a Community Land Trust do to help keep the housing market attainable?

12:16 - How might financing or a mortgage work with a community land trust?

12:58 - The process of getting participants

14:31 - Square footage of the homes and accessory dwellings

17:23 - What about the timeline?

18:19 - Income, resident or other preferences with this?

20:00 - Could this be scaled to other parts of the city or region?

Black Tech Saturdays is making quite the splash in bridging digital divides and being a platform to lift up Detroit in technology. Plus, it's a total vibe. Far different (in a good way) than what you're used to for "tech events."

Joining me on the show is Alex and Johnnie Turnage, co-founders - as well as Ethan Lloyd, Social Media Manager for the city of Detroit and he runs the city of Detroit's social media accounts that have been growing quickly and engaging residents.

It's cheesy to say in a podcast that we talk about a wide range of subjects, but we do - and it was a pleasure to have them in the studio at TechTown.
