Unfortunately, in those 11 years, Detroit spent millions of dollars intently demolishing those exact same types of neighborhoods.
Did you read this thing before posting? Because here is a quote you might find interesting:

“Even Cleveland and Detroit, which foryears have watched their populations dwindle, are seeing increases in the number of well-.‐educated young adults in their close-.‐in neighborhoods.”


Also, the article concentrated their focus on the three miles from the city center. If our center is Campus Martius I'm trying to remember a destroyed neighborhood inside a 3 mile arc of CM within the last 10 years. Help me out here, because nothing comes to mind except maybe Brewster-Douglas but that's been a lot longer than 10 yrs and was never really a lure for the college-educated.

I understand Detroit has wasted a ton of dough on stupid things, but I'm drawing a blank on the millions you suggest was spent within the 3 mile arc.
