From Old Houses to New Hopes: Detroit State of the City Roundtable

Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield delivered her first State of the City at Mumford High School, and we're unpacking what it really means for everyday Detroiters. Host Jer Staes is joined by Norris Howard and Outlier Media civic life reporter Briana Rice to dig into homeownership and repair, wages and affordable housing, transit, retail corridors, youth programs, safety initiatives, and more.

They also talk about what was left out of the speech — and how much of the city's future will depend on local dollars and neighborhood-level follow-through.
