Approximately  2,000 Quicken Loans employees will soon move into the Chase Tower in downtown Detroit.

Those workers for the online retail mortgage lender will now join 1,700 other Quicken employees at the company's headquarters inside the Compuware Building.

These workers had formerly toiled in the suburbs.

Officials said that about 4,000 of Quicken's entire staff will eventually have offices in downtown Detroit.

I must admit that when I heard about this wonderful investment in the city of Detroit, I had the same reaction when Compuware first announced it was moving its HQ downtown.

I thought: All of those workers must be really ticked off because they live in the suburbs and now they must drive down into Detroit every single day of the work week.

It's not a cake walk coming to Detroit. Suburbanites don't mind driving downtown for an occasional Tigers or Lions game. But commuting five days a week -- that's a different story.
