I didn't even know HP had a TIFA, and I'm surprised with a city with basically no tax base left that there is enough to do anything, really. I do wish HP luck, but it's one of the few places I have very little hope for - at least surviving as an independent city. HP is about to go back into emergency management.
It'll always have some value being on Woodward, but I don't see the point of it having a government, anymore. It's weird that HP is basically the only city that would probably be better off merged with a bankrupt Detroit, because it at least then have access to the city's economic development expertise.
I wish that at least the streetcar would have been stretched up to it for economic development purposes. The BRT is going to great for moving HPers, but I don't expect a lot of spin-off development from it.
