duhoff, thank you, Madam President, and I just want to clarify a couple things, because I did make the motion in committee to send it out with a recommendation to deny. And one of the reasons why is the first thing that comes to mind when we even talk about historical designation, even with buildings that have a significant amount of historical activity or history attached to it. We do not own the Renaissance Center. It is not owned by the city of Detroit. I would be in agreement with you if I thought the whole thing was going to be demolished. I have said that on the record, if I thought it was going to severely change our skyline and that we would not have the ability to see the Renaissance Center in some form, I would be against it. And I say that on the record. But when we talk about two towers that exist, that one are underutilized. I think it's 62% vacancy or 70% vacancy. Folks don't even come in and out of there. And when we talk about having the opportunity to expand one of our other most underutilized assets, which is the Detroit riverfront, I am all for plans that do this to your point, member Through you, madam president, to member. Callaway, yes, I remember the rotary phone, but now we have cell phones. I remember the analog TV with the bunny ears on top that did not work, and you had to put the aluminum foil on there to make it work, and now we have digital TV. And I don't say that to be facetious or be funny or obnoxious. I say that because in a city that we are and everyone sitting at this table was looking to make this a world class city, there are opportunities in which we must evolve. And when we talk about some of the progress that this very body has made over the last three to four years, whether that's the Joe Louis Greenway, connecting folks throughout our parks, even to Ralph C Wilson that is getting built that's going to come all the way down our riverfront. We have to take those opportunities seriously. We have to look at what is going to be in for the future to come. And I hear you. There are folks that come down and talk about public comment and talk about the Renaissance Center, maybe 18 today, but then again, if someone contacts 18 folks who supported 18 other folks are going to call that's just the reality of what we do. You're never going to have someone who is 100% for everything. But what I do know, even from folks in my district who I've had the conversation with, I've asked them when the last time they've been down to the Renaissance Center, and some told me the early 2000s right? And we're talking 20 years ago. So when we talk about the opportunity to build something that's greater, I think even with those towers that will still remain, I'm with you member Callaway, then we drive the discussion of affordable housing, which I hear, and there's an attempt to do mixed housing in there when we talk about the opportunity to create more hotel access, because we are behind other cities when it comes to hotel and hospitality, you know, we're all for that, and so it was not personal when we recommended it to deny or to kill the voice of anyone but members of that committee who had the opportunity to view the presentation, to go through the discussion and live with, again, the folks who privately own that building. That's their building, not the City of Detroit's building, and their intended use. I think at least for me, it was very clear I don't want to see that Skyline change, and I don't believe taking two of those towers out will do that. We look at cities close to us and our region, and I mentioned that there's no other city greater than the city of Detroit, by the way, even in our forum now. But to become more competitive and attract the talent and attract the population that we need, we've got to do things a little bit differently. You look at Chicago on their riverfront, beautiful, absolutely beautiful Navy Pier, opportunities for museums, planetariums, aquariums, all of that great stuff, we got the opportunity to create that here in the city of Detroit from this very table. And finally, I would say, talking to a lot of friends that I know who are planners. In fact, some folks who are developers. They say the Renaissance Center, when it was first built, was a nightmare, a planning nightmare, because it really has been built right next door to where we are right now, so everyone can have the ability to look at the river. But it was built in a time, and I know you appreciate this Through you, madam president, to member Callaway, it was built to be a city within the city that exists to keep folks locked away from the other folks that lived in the city that might have been of a different demographic at the time, to be honest with you. And so when we talk about just that, having the opportunity now and over the years, we saw the walls come down, the big platform come down the berm, the huge 12 foot berm, or however, concrete burn, we saw that come down allow more access. Wouldn't it be great to have more access throughout our communities, flowing, connecting our communities, and having the ability to enjoy the riverfront? So yes, I put that amendment forward. Was not personal, but it but it is my belief as well, just my core belief, whether we like it or not. Sometimes, if someone privately owns something, they also had the ability to change it, if that is in their purpose. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Madam President. I want to make it very clear for me, at least, I don't base my decisions on this council on public comment. Public comment doesn't is valuable, but I host three community meetings every month, and I have a lot of engagement with the community, not just those who call in. And we know we have some of the same folks who call in. We have some new people as well. But part of the way I operate is I reach out to as many people as possible, get as many opinions as possible, not just relegated to public comment because, as member door Hall indicated, I can have people call solely for this particular reason, those who may not care about anything else they care about this one thing that's when they're calling and they're calling because I asked them to call them, Not because they necessarily may have a policy position on I think we've got to be very careful, and it's unfortunate that a member chooses to feel that because we did deny this, we're, all of a sudden silencing the voices of Detroiters. That language, I think, is appalling to me. This is what we do. What we do is we have discussions about items that come before us, whether we agreed or not. I think when we start poking our agreeance or opposition to something, poking it as silencing the people it turns it into, really feels personal, because I would never silence my community over something that is this important. It's important to the city that I implore people not to just watch this hearing of folks who are just wagging their fingers and providing comments that may be adverse to what I believe is a productive for a body, but I would invite everyone to actually watch the actual session, and you'll hear, and I was one who also supported the the motion to deny a recommendation to deny this provides us, as my colleague indicated, I wanted to preserve as much as possible, nothing in this denial does that. It does not now give a green light to a total demolition of the Renaissance towers plural. There is no even the proposal that came before us. It still keeps the skyline with the one main tower in the middle and the two on the side granted. There are two that will potentially be demolished, but there's funding that is necessary for the state as well as the city, so there's multiple discussions that has to happen prior to that taking place. And then even if there's a request to demolish there, there has to be approval to do so. So there's a lot of steps that has to happen, and you know, again, to minimize the actions that we take and turn them into or transform them into us, trying to silence Detroiters. I think you know to me that is, that's personal, and it's unfortunate that a colleague wants to take it in that direction. We may disagree, but I would never say that someone is trying to silence the community simply because they don't agree with me. And so I'm looking forward to this item coming for us as we are now about to vote on it. And I will
