Grosse Pointe vs. Bloomfield Hills: best days behind them?

[gameguy56]

Eh, I kind of disagree here. I work at a not-Quicken loan company and we've got a pretty strong mortgage business here in the Detroit-Metro region. Beyond that, yeah, we're lacking some of the diversity, but I don't think our "best days are behind us". My generation has gotten tired of Chicago and such, I know more people who've moved back in the past 2-3 years than moved away.

I would argue that Chicago is kind of played out with the kids these days. Detroit is edgier, has more of a 'cachet'.

But I'm not sure what that has to do with the real wealth creators. The McMansions at 30 mile and west out to MI-23 are still going to boom with New Money. I still feel like the GPs have such tremendous staying power though due to the lake, their location close to downtown, and their magnificent architechture.

By comparison the bloomfields just seem like an older Oakland Township.
