You are way over counting. Cars rarely stay on one freeway or arterial to get from a to b. Besides it makes more sense for folks who drive and live at 8 & I-75 to go to Oakland Mall Rather than Downtown. Same is true for folks living in the Dogleg, chances are they would go to Southland or Fairlane. You want to cause more congestion by making longer trips? The key to making the city urban again is shopping by where you live. For most of Detroiters, this means Fairlane, Eastland, Northland or Warren.
