No it could not. Admittedly I only skimmed the article, but from what I can tell you could say the same "civic booster club" kinds of things about 50 other cities in the Midwest. Lots of other cities also have some minor little incubator activity going (which will never, ever make any of them the Silicon Valley of anything, by the way), and almost all, or let's just go ahead and say ALL, of those other cities are not nearly as much of a spiraling hell-hole as Detroit. God bless them Detroiters for trying to keep hope alive, but… no.
- ekux44 12y agoAgreed. For example: Chicago has a much bigger tech sector, including satellite campuses of silicon valley tech giants like Google. Kansas City seems to have stronger entrepreneurial support, including being home to the Kauffman Foundation and Google Fiber.
- segmondy 12y agoDetroit is one of Google's 7 tech hub. Yeah. Google, Microsoft all have presence in downtown Detroit. You can't take the hope alive, We are alive. :)
