Is downtown Detroit open for business or open for chaos?

While the suits at City Hall are busy holding press conferences and dreaming up “midnight basketball” fantasies, the streets tell a different story. We’re talking dozens of kids running wild, jumping on cars, and harassing tourists while the DPD—already stretched thinner than a dollar store steak—struggles to keep a lid on the pot.

The city says they love the youth. We all do. But since when did “love” mean letting 16-year-olds treat Woodward Avenue like a playground at 1 AM?

In this episode, we’re breaking down:
The “Teen Takeover” Crisis: Why the flash mobs are back and bolder than ever.

Parental Payday: Why a $150 curfew ticket is a joke and why it’s time to start putting the bill on the parents’ doorstep.

The Money Pit: Where did the overtime budget go? We predicted the city would burn through the cash by spring, and surprise—the coffers are looking awfully dusty just as the weather heats up. It’s about accountability, folks.

Not just for the kids, but for the leadership that’s letting the city’s comeback get stomped out by a mob of teenagers on scooters.
