Who said that. I said people get used to a more free way of living. I'd say you'd have as hard a time of convincing a New Yorker who has bought a car and a home out away from the city to give them up and move back into the city as you would convincing a metro-Detroiter to give up their car and go live in a high-rise condo/apartment downtown.
Then why is Metro Detroit's migration flow going outbound, while New York is still attracting new residents?Who said that. I said people get used to a more free way of living.

Yeah, a certain amount are, and certainly the wealthiest ones. Anywhere from 1/5 to 1/4 of NYC residents are foreign-born, but a lot of coupon-clipper types have moved in as it has gentrified, from the tri-state area.
Well, a lot of them come from places like Troy and Farmington Hills. Talked to any college-age metro Detroiters lately? Most of the ones I know, you ask them why they want to leave Detroit, they'll tell you, in so many words, that they want to live someplace with nightlife and subways. Things like crime, blight, and unemployment don't bother them anywhere near as much.
