It makes as much sense to say "Midtown Detroit will one day be Auburn Hills" as "Midtown Detroit will one day be SoHo". Both places, like most places on earth, happen to have some midrise buildings of somewhat recent vintage.
Holy crap man. It was a blanket statement.

Midtown Detroit has some tall buildings, then there is a lull toward downtown in height, then Downtown has tall buildings. Midtown Manhatten has tall buildings, then there is a lull in height, then builds up again toward the financial district. Ya see what I'm getting at here????

In no way am I comparing building typology, exact geographic boundaries of the burroughs of NYC in relation to height, or any other crazy exactitude you'd like to expand upon.
