You're absolutely right. Detroit is on the road to becoming a downtown for people to work in and visit. The only residents of Detroit that are benefiting in the long term are the wealthy and young hipsters who are moving into rehabilitated lofts and new construction near downtown. The money being spend on the M1 rail line alone could have helped demolish all the abandoned houses and rehabbed other houses in neighborhoods that could still be saved. That's not the goal, however. The goal is to drive the poor out of Detroit and into the first ring suburbs so they can deal with the problems.
