Completely agree.
But if I might interpret the tabula rasa comment, I think it's a short way of saying that people moving in don't have any prior perceptions or expectations of Detroit. All of us who have grown up in or around Detroit know what to expect. We have our stoic attitudes or possibly even hate towards the place. But outsiders moving in have fresh attitudes and ambitions. The less they know about Detroit the better. It's the only way the city will move forward.
