I agree that Scott knows his stuff, in fact, I agree with most of what he writes about. But I do believe he has a "role" to play in selling books and hyping up the Detroit Partnership bigger than what they really are. The suburbs and blood relation is something he's been talking about for years and now everybody else talks about it because they eat up every word he says just because he published a book. His accomplishment in publishing a book is nothing to downplay, but a lot of people now look at him as God because he is one of the few authors on Real Deal. Again, I like Scott and he definitely knows more about Detroit than I do...but he also is a salesman.
