Nice hot take, the headline will probably get you some angry eyeballs. But this whole piece is disingenuous. I know you understand exactly why this has been big news. It's symbolic. National retailers abandoned Detroit for years yet can be found littered across the suburbs. Opening back up in Detroit is significant for that reason.

“I don’t think anyone considering moving to Detroit would’ve let the lack of Target’s presence be a dealbreaker.”

I moved to Detroit (Cass Corridor) about 1 1/2 years ago and the lack of a Target didn’t stop me. However, I think the Target may prove to be of value to many of the people who live and work nearby, that is if and when it gets built. There is still no date for when construction will start, or when it will open.
