This article is centered around the jail that was supposed to be built just a few blocks away from the Wayne State Campus. If you drive past it now, you can see what the rows of cells look like within a jail. Like any Detroiter knows, building this jail would be a huge waste of money. There are plenty of jails within Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county that could house any “criminals”. Despite this fact, they began to build this jail only to stop due to the high cost of it. Now it has been decided that the jail will no longer be housed there, instead new commercial and residential buildings will take it place.<\/p>\n
I think this change in plans is a good and bad thing. Its really great that a jail will no longer be built in this area. It was an unnecessary project that I could not see benefiting the city’s morale or appearance. However, on the other hand, a lot of taxpayer dollars have been wasted since the project was no completed. I believe more thought should have been given into making sure starting this construction project was fiscally responsible. Additionally, I’m unsure if these new commercial and residential buildings will be affordable for most Detroiters or will they be as pricy as other new developments made in this area. <\/p>\n
