I think greater downtown nets a lot of people who may otherwise live in Hamtramck because it has much grander things to offer, and there is no logical way a sane, time-pressed person can take besides a car to get to the Cultural Center or downtown from Hamtown. Thus the potential Hamtramckan has two logical other options - live downtown itself or move to the suburbs [[which are cleaner, safer, better schools, etc.) and sacrafice only a few more minutes on the freeway, which you'd be taking anyway.
