Amazon just wants a place with a ton of vacant land.

Where Detroit differs from most other major cities is that it has no shortage of vacant land in its downtown proper. Thus, in Detroit's case, downtown proper would be a very good candidate for them.

Furthermore, if you look at Seattle, I doubt they're looking for a contiguous piece of land, but vacant land that's all in relatively close proximity to each other [[again, another check for downtown proper).
