Detroit is not its abandoned buildings. It is Midtown and Woodbridge, it is Boston-Edison and Indian Village, it is Eastern Market and the rekindled downtown blocks. Detroit is the "Live Midtown" campaign, the "Live Downtown" campaign, and the M1 rail alliance. It is grass-roots groups & websites like TweeTea and Detroit Moxie. I'm not a Detroit native, but I see this city for what it is: a mountain of opportunity for anyone who can see past the popular headlines.
