In a special episode of "Your Future Home," live from Quicken Loans' headquarters in Detroit, we take a look at the Motor City's ongoing comeback. From businesses to art, Downtown Detroit is undergoing a complete makeover. Quicken Loans is one of the companies at the heart of Detroit's revitalization. Jay Farner, the company's CEO, explains why Quicken decided to go all-in and move its headquarters to Downtown Detroit. One of the keys to the city's comeback is its housing market revival. Laura Grannemann, Vice President of Strategic Investments at the Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund, discusses what it takes to jump-start a struggling real estate market. Before people packed up their things and moved to Detroit, there needed to be jobs. Dan Mullen, President at Bedrock, and Katy Cockrel, Owner of Detroit Blows, explain what it takes to bring more businesses to the area. Plus, we'll speak to an artist that is helping give Detroit a new look. Sydney James explains why it's important for local artists to get involved in the beautification of their own neighborhoods.

The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.

The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum.
