Don’t negotiate with terrorists. Tell GM to go ahead and tear the whole thing down. Once they do, then eminent domain the land where it stood.

Too bad Luigi didn’t hurt his back in a Tahoe...

I just wanted you to know that I enjoyed your comment.

Fuck em.  Tear it down.  Let the skyline evolve and rejuvenate the riverside area.

Exactly. All of it.

How appropriate. When I lived there I always thought that building looked like a giant middle finger to the city. 

Let them move out. Get rid of RenCen. It might be part of Detroit’s iconic skyline (if you can call the skyline iconic), but it’s also emblematic of everything wrong with Detroit (it’s a crappily designed building).

The Ren Center is the poster child for that bleak dystopian 1970's/80's movie set about 20-30 years in the future. Headquarters for the bad guys and their all encompassing corporation that has enslaved the population into a cycle of crime, poverty, cheap drugs, a literal life of hell.   oh wait that kind of has come…

hope they call GM on their bluff but i doubt they will.  It would be funny if the city obstructs the demolition permits forcing GM to spend even more millions of dollars to sue the city. and then even more funny if the judge delays the trial for several years forcing GM to just give up and do the renovations on their…

Michigan needs to follow the time honored tradition of ‘yoink’.

And what you fail to mention is that GM is a private business and makes it’s own money. Asking for a taxpayer handout so they can double-dip on charitable tax breaks later is ridiculous.

Boy, it’d be a shame if Detroit or the state just eminent domain-ed the whole thing and told GM to pound sand. A real shame.

This has to be about the fucking dumbest thing I’ve seen recently. This would be like some company deciding that they want to tear down the Transamerica building in San Francisco or the flatiron building in NY. The Renaissance center is THE main recognizable, identifiable object in Detroit’s skyline. There’s nothing…

Raze away. Why in the hell should taxpayers be held responsible for a multi-billion dollar corporation’s real estate boondoggle? Plus it’s just a 1970's skyscraper, who gives a fuck if it gets torn down, it’s not exactly a historically significant building. I’m sure another ugly sky penis will get put up in its place.

Knock it the fuck down. Why? I'm sick of my Buick beeping at me 3 times if I even barely tap my key fob in my pocket. Fuck these losers. No more tax money for these suck pumps. No more. I'm a union guy to the bone. I'm in a union. I buy union. I bleed union. These assholes have shit on the union. Let them die. I'll…

These fuckers just don’t get it.  Viva le revolution.

I’m glad that I live in Ca where shady shit like this never happens.

On the other hand, who doesn’t love seeing a skyscraper blow up?

Just based on the top photo, the skyline would be greatly improved if they tear it down.
