General Motors move headquarters from Ren Cen to Hudson's site in downtown Detroit 

What has she done wrong?

@@mirzaahmed6589 More like---- what has she done right??!!

@@mirzaahmed6589 she is terrible, has enriched herself while making the worst company decisions and laying off workers

@@mirzaahmed6589 Everything

Buy that for a dollar!

Them, or Chrysler.

If they didn't bail out GM, we would have had a depression worse than 1929.

I thought it was weird when the Ford logo came down

@@tomstiel7576 I forgot about that. I was a teenager when that happened.

How? The building was complete in the 70s and wasn't there from the get-go.

@@markeyosef1579 wdym how? How what? I was born in the 70's but it didn't become the GM HQ until the 90's.

Gms already been firing engineers for the past 4 years actually

@@ij8502 yes hire Engineers and fire but they keep a sweeper in the union. Engineers would better suit their employer if they were able to have longevity by being able to stick with an employer and contribute through developing stages. Not contract in and out like they are in a revolving door. Their contributions are not menial.

@@ij8502 and they have been hiring and firing for longer than 4 years.

Bidenomics!

Sounds like they’re moving into a more appropriately sized place for them

Totally agree. When you think of Detroit, you think of the ren cen with the GM logo on top of it.

It's not iconic. Before GM moved into the ren cen they occupied a rented building in detroit for decades. GM has less than 2,000 employees in the ren-cen. Very few want to work in detroit.

@@barsaf9989 Yes I agree. This is terrible. Where are all of the office workers gonna go too? Now they got to move to NYC. Bad for Detroit.

it's ugly

@@42luke93the video said they’re moving to Hudson’s office

It is the reason that they designed and produced such bad cars.

Robo Cop

the lobby would make a very good library

You are so wrong lol

They should turn it into affordable housing.

If General Motors would start building cars and trucks to our taste in our liking, maybe we would buy

It started life as a hotel...plumbing should not be a problem.

Yeah, detroit needs more hotel space flooded with roaches and bed bugs.

It use to have a movie theatre in it. Being that back and restaurants and gift shops and store already have the hotel which is nice.

They can make it work. Especially with the technology now.

if they expanded the peoplemover to its original plan the re ncens direct transit connection would prove useful, the lobby is pretty beautiful and empty areas in the building are plentiful

Is it not just because Detroit is just rusting away?

Detroit needs more unique appeal, needs to be more like Boston imo. More competitive, good-paying jobs, more renowned universities (iirc university of Michigan is pretty respected already). Limit the amount of walmart stores and allow small businesses to thrive. Use the location along the Detroit River and bordering Canada for more international travel/exchange appeal. Increase wages. People are begging for places with higher minimum wage right now.

General Motors is more profitable now than they ever have been

A warning? This idea to move headquarters was pitched 6 years ago so not exactly a new thing. What part of that didn’t you understand? lol

Problem with Detroit it relied on big 3 and did everything it could to appease them while they literally abandoned Detroit. Where as Boston has countless companies and doesn’t rely any on any particular one.

A mall will fall because there is no mass transit to support it.

Malls? Are you serious?

Do new malls even still get made?

Homie still stuck in 2006 with this comment lmao

@@andyleo8418malls are great and can do great they just need to be in walking distance to housing. Most American malls fail because they’re not accessible

There wasn't a single mention of demolition.

It looks like a casino

Hell no

I don't like the idea but to think of it's kind of built like a casino.

Use those parking lots for what.

@@bufordfrance8058housing

​@@bufordfrance8058you slow?

They have been building EVs since the 90s. Hell, the second gen Chevy Volt was supposed to be the car that would save GM. Plug in hybrid, never have to worry about range anxiety, and are free to go on road trips without any planning, and still get an insane amount of fuel economy if you chose to do so, but just like the EV1, they canceled it. They spend all this money on research and development, and then trash the project if it doesn’t sell millions it’s first year. It takes time for such things to pay off and churn a profit, but instead you know what is paid off and already profitable? Stupid gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. “Let’s trick consumers into wanting these behemoths for their 1-4 person family! Our only competitor is Ford anyway!” It’s insane how many freaking Teslas I see on the road everyday. You cant even legally buy them in my state! In fact, there are so many EVs that the state decided to tax owners $200 a year per EV regardless of how little miles they drove them. How many electric chevys do I see on the road? Just the one or two Volts that managed to survive their lease period. Sure, there are plenty of GM vehicles where I live, but they’re all trucks and SUVs, with an occasional corvette every now and then. But actual real CARS, family cars, majorly are Tesla, with Toyota as runner up. I live in a very red state, very conservative. If there are that many EVs on our roads, maybe it’s because we don’t like being told what we can and can’t drive.

Toyota was correct. People want hybrids today, not EVs. Chevy had the best American lineup of hybrids until they got rid of them a couple years before hybrids started having a 8 month wait list.

There’s a crunch between credit and car prices these days in general (not just EVs). With interest rates so high, it’s difficult for people to justify getting into any pricey new car today. And then there’s prices. Some of it may be ripples from the supply chain, but others are entirely own-goals on the part of GM (discontinuing the smaller, more-affordable Bolt while wasting time on nonsense like an EV Hummer comes to mind). US automakers need to figure how to make affordable EVs a lot quicker - they can’t rely on trade protections from Chinese imports forever.

The Marriott isn’t going anywhere

I doubt it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You clearly never go downtown. New buildings all over the place in the last 10 years.

Praying is about as useful as the many vacant dilapidated homes in Detroit.

Um no, GM is moving in the Podium building!

it consists of two buildings bud

I agree. This is terrible. Where are all of the office workers gonna go? Now they got to move to NYC.

Detroit never really had a jazz scene sorry. But good idea. Detroit had aretha, motown, rock and punk tho

@@goldbrick2563 why can't I respond to this? RU-vid keeps erasing it

@@goldbrick2563 a

what a horrible place RU-vid is. No free speech at all :(

evil monopoly with a chokehold on online speech. Horrible

But wait. Won't they have to drive to NYC to get to work there? You think traffic is bad in Detroit (or are you talking about the crime when you have to drive into the city) wait until you have to pay congestion pricing from $9 to $23 to drive in. And if you think that the 2500 workers will have cheaper rents so that they can walk to work...guess again.

@@gobbletegookWTC = Warren technical center

MPG = Milford proving ground

They not. The world has changed and it's not much of a use for huge skyscrapers these days.

@@markeyosef1579 Most likely not but it's faintly possible. If they try to turn it into apartments, it could get difficult and very expensive to do though because of the plumbing.

hmmm... Well they are still in downtown detroit (The actual city)

I agree. In the RenCen is their legal department. From a nice suburb over an hour to get there. The Tech Center is in an area that engineers really do not want to live but they just invested a billion dollars there. It’s in Warren and took me an hour or so. The facility was built in the 1950’s I think and peoples homes have moved from that area along time ago.

Yup that's one of my many reasons for not buying GM

😂You’ll would still get the same results if there were Republicans and the damage would be greater.

Yeah, since Republicans are such advocates for urban areas. As Orange Jesus has dictated, cities are 'hellholes, full of crime, rotting cesspools with brown immigrants pooping on everything.' Maybe the Orange Messiah can move a midwest location of 'Truth Social' there since he is doing such a great job with that sinking ship (one of his many great business accomplishments). On second thought, an abandoned fast food outlet on eight mile would probably be more in line with what Trumpie's finances will allow for. So "LawandOrder" are you getting excited at the prospect of the Jan 6 "hostages" being released after they have been tried and convicted by juries of your fellow citizens? I guess when you beat the crap out of the police and tear sh-t up but have a white face and wrap yourself in the flag, that is acceptable. You really need some gold spray painted sneakers or a new Bible (the crotch-grabbing serial adulterer needs more cash for his legal bills). Then you can marinade in some FOX channel dribble for a bit longer (before the Smartmatic lawsuit hits them and they are completely wiped out). What a simpleton you are.

Brain rot

@@Sealambert How could you possibly know that? There has never been a Republican mayor in Detroit’s history; there is a political monopoly there. I’m surprised that despite the city declining for decades, the citizens still do not want to change/try different political ideologies or tactics to fix it.

@@nickh7724 There has been a Republican mayor of Detroit (last republican mayor was during the late 1950’s to early 1960’s). Of course there are political monopolies in Detroit just like any major cities.

GM owns the ren cen.

It's not bad. I've seen worse. I wish it were taller, though

I like the building. Despite that I am not a resident but I find the concept with the four buildings surrounding it more iconic IMO.

The backdrop for the movie Robocop back in 1988.

The only good small cars GM ever sold were those jointly made with Toyota.
