The thing is, until you've been down there it's hard to convince people that there is something special happening there. Midtown detroit is a fantastic cultural scene, with a lot of awesome businesses emerging all the time. It's growing, due to small entrepreneurship and large money interests like Dan Gilbert et al. Will Detroit once again be a 2mm person city? No, not likely. Will it remain a 700k person city? Possibly, but maybe not. Perhaps the city limit shrinks and the suburbs end up absorbing the exterior. But it's not beyond saving and it's worth saving. There are a lot of people that have bet on the future of Detroit, and I'm talking some BIG money. That, to me is the most encouraging evidence of it's viability.
