Actually, yes it is. People with expertise in operating rapid transit will want to work in a city where there are a multitude of rapid transit lines [[or at least a decent prospect of that happening), a reasonable governance structure in place and a stable funding source. Neither Detroit nor the region has any of these things. So we won't be able to attract the top talent to here; we aren't serious enough about this.
