Am I mistaken? I've had the strong belief that Detroit proper is beyond gentrification, but I've had several people tell me that I'm wrong, and that things are looking very up for Detroit proper(the city itself, not burbs).
I want to hear from Detroit city and suburban residents. I know
there are tough times ahead with the auto industry layoffs.
Your area needs a shot in the arm. The Tigers might help, but
you guys need a whole lot more than that. Jobs might be a start.
Detroit is a huge metropolitan area, almost as big as Chicago.
Only prob is, residents decided to move out enmasse in the 60's and 70's, creating suburban sprawl on steroids.
What can be done with Detroit city itself? Can it ever be a tourist destination even close to rivaling Chicago? Here in Chicago, we have constant streams of double decker tourist buses filled
to the brim where I work and live....
Do you envision a mass infusion of gentrification in Detroit,
or will it forever remain a suburban city?
