Look at it this way...

When people are given clay, they're going to mold it into a vision that appeals to them. That's what happening with Detroit. If you tell them "oh, you can't do that", they just find another piece of clay and mold whatever they envision elsewhere.

This is the Motor City. The vast majority of folks drive a car. All of the investors as a result cater to this type of culture. They create abundant, free parking.

So, then, everyone's so accustomed to being able to park their car in the front door that they think they should be entitled to do so everywhere. In places they cant [[and there's no other way to get around but unreliable mass transit), they tend to avoid those places.

If they're going to put time and money into something, they're going to do so in a way that's beneficial to them. If close parking benefits them, that's what they're going to try and go for.

But by not allowing them to mold their clay and telling them to cry you a river, they will only pack up their things and take them and their money elsewhere. Detroit isn't all that important, and quite frankly Detroit needs their money more than they need Detroit
