I think we all agree there are still challenges, sure, but definitely signs of positive momentum around the city, especially the last five or so years. That said, volatility lurks, so is there one thing that would cause you to second guess the city's turnaround?
For me:
- Fail jail is allowed to be finished.
- M1 costs run tens of millions over-budget.
- Some sort of horrific crime within the Midtown and downtown safe zone involving a young intern or employee, a media darling if you will, which would send shockwaves to suburban parents and students, who make up the strongest candidates to give working & living in Detroit a chance. e.g. "I'll never send my daughter down there, not after what happened to Rachel."
