Southeast Michigan (where I have lived and worked for many years) has some good tech opportunities and some pleasant and affordable places to live, just not in Detroit proper. I won't work in downtown Detroit, if I have a choice, because the commute in and out is a traffic jam through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Some gentrified communities among the blight are livable, if you don't have kids. Detroit public schools are a disgrace that no child should be allowed to attend.
Dan Gilbert bought up a bunch of Detroit at fire sale prices and uses PR like this so he can flip them to make a quick profit.
