More than a marketplace (which in many ways already exists) is the need for quality schools and basic services (gas and grocery). But, how do you get quality schools without people? We are again back to the chicken and the egg. It's very, very difficult. Moving back in is key.

Without people in the city how can there be a marketplace there. But without industry no people, and without people no marketplace. It is in such a tough place. But I still think the answer is people moving back into Detroit. I wonder if somehow it would require people moving back INTO Detroit. Without people in the city how can there be a marketplace there.

I am not sure about what the next industry is in Detroit. I know that they are trying to position themselves as "Hollywood" east. However, I think that with UM and MSU right here that we should be able to develop technology and engineering beyond automobiles. Tim, that’s a great question.

It lives or dies with the auto industry, regardless of whether or not most of those people live in the city. It not only needs youth, but a reinvention. It's been "reinvented" by others and that's as a laughing-stock, which is truly sad. What can the future Detroit be that would draw people? We need to bring another industry to Detroit.

I grew in the Northern suburbs and used to be afraid to drive down Woodward. I am in love with this place now. It would be amazing if we could continue a mobilization of the young to change this place. How cool would it be for our kids to talk about the city in the same way our parents did? Matt, I hope so.

I am definitely one of the individuals who is frustrated with how the rest of the nation sees Detroit, and frustrated that there are so many roadblocks to making Detroit a better place. But you are right, there are plenty of people around the Detroit area that are itching to help make the city what it once was. Detroit will come back....I don't know how long it is going to take, but it will come back. Loved your post.
