Great link-bait headline, but nothing more than the census numbers. I'm in Detroit. I just ate lunch at Slows, which was packed as usual. Detroit goes as does manufacturing, and the last decade was harsh. However, the city has increasingly more to offer, and it is coming back in bioscience, tech, the arts, and manufacturing, automotive and non-automotive. The city might look like rock-bottom to outsiders, but something is brewing. In 5 years, the headline will be 'is Detroit making a comeback?'.

I actually think Detroit is about to see a huge resurgence. From what I understand, there are a lot of young, artist-type people moving there right now, which is exactly the type of people I think Detroit should be trying to attract.

  This is true, many college grads and creatives are moving into the city. In addition, Quicken is moving their entire company downtown. There are also some great incentives to live in the Midtown area, which is home to Wayne State University.

    I think you're referring to Quicken Loans. Intuit, developer of Quicken software, don't seem to have any presence in Michigan.

      Yes Quicken Loans, is known as Quicken around here. I am sorry if that was not obvious.
