Because traffic around here isn't bad enough, let's build more unneeded crap

This new ginormous proposal to build up on the north side of Arborland is just CRAP. No, make that complete CRAP. We have hotels we don't fill now, we have MUCH empty retail space, and no lack of housing for seniors but try getting that through builders thick heads. Builders could give two shits about you, and your commute and your quality of life as long as they get the money to build.

Here's the proposal from Bacall Development in Farmington Hills:

First off, they'd call it Huron Acres. No word on if Eastern Michigan University would want it named Eagle Acres. Two hotels, with a total of 240 rooms, which would share room with a medical building, mixed use office space, two restaurants, and 58 single family townhouses with attached one car garages.

Yes, because we don't have a GLUT of these things here now. YCD says NO to this boondoggle. We HAVE housing, we HAVE restaurants, we HAVE medical offices out our asses, we HAVE hotels that go unfilled. Just IMAGINE the extra traffic headaches. You know how it looks in front of Arborland NOW on football game days, now double that as cross traffic starts appearing.

The Planning Commission could consider this plan in the next two months.
