I live in Denver now, but from Detroit area originally. Detroit is definitely on the upswing. Dan Gilbert has a lot to do with that, buying up old buildings and restoring them, moving all of his QuickenLoans people from Southfield to downtown, giving them incentives to live downtown, etc. Then you have the other billionaire, Mike Illitch who owns the Tigers and the Red Wings and Little Caesar's pizza, who is building a brand new stadium for the Red Wings right between downtown and Wayne State University (which is about the middle of that 3 mile stretch I was referring to).And to the Detroit debate, I doubt even natives rep their city.
Detroit is definitely getting better, at least downtown. I just traveled for work last week and I'll tell you what, I'd take Detroit over St. Louis any day of the week.
