Detroit is now a fun and affordable city.


It is not.

It is a city that he lost 3/4 of its population, GDP and is still spiraling down.

It has huge abandoned districts. It is hyper-violent.

It has an urban revival that has failed in numbers by population and revenue. But sure, for now it’s “fun”.

Works for long term planning. In the meantime it won’t be fun for locals.
