Ofaloaf posted:Detroit might, if another Kilpatrick doesn't come up, have its population drop level out at somewhere a little above 600k. The island-ification of the city will continue apace, with new residential developments increasingly clustered around a few neighborhoods, like Midtown, Corktown, etc., while the rest of the city continues to slide into total abandonment and services are withdrawn from a few areas. The new clusters of development will be whiter and richer than the old neighborhoods being abandoned, and there will be tensions between old Detroiters and the new gentrifiers- the gentrifiers will either be totally oblivious to the social frictions, or deny they're a cause of any problems. There is so much garbage property in Detroit it is really hard to see it being used even in the most optimistic scenario. Like you could drop in 4 or 5 six flags and a few disney worlds and there'd still be left over acres. Even out past the north and west suburbs the price per acre of land is getting loving insane and still nobody is putting up even a pipe dream plan on how to develop any of that junk. The whole slow motion collapse of macomb county isn't really going to help the prospects of any of those neighborhoods either.
