Attracting new residents and workers to Detroit could prove difficult if there is little more that urban prairie for them to moved into.
If there are people [[with money) wanting to move into Detroit and occupy houses, the builders and developers will show up in force. If there is enough demand, the builders will buy a lot with a good house on it and tear it down to build a bigger, grander house. The problem is that right now no one [[with money) wants those houses or vacant lots in Detroit.
