My opinion:
Detroit's bounce back is more dependent on how far it had fallen.
Other large cities which didn't experience Detroit's problems, including bankruptcy, aren't seeing similar growth.
Lot of it is: As things get bad, commercial real estate valuations decrease to the point that they become bargains and things start to happen.
Not unlike what happened in 2009 with the stock market. Folks started buying stocks of companies, like Ford, which were still viable and seemed very much undervalued.
