This link is to a story on the front page of this mornings paper about the increasingly prosperous Downtown and Midtown areas of the city of Detroit. While many focus upon the EFM issue, there are numerous positive developments in Detroit and employment is likely to increase at DMC and Henry Ford. Vehicle production is also rising at the Hamtramck and East Jefferson plants but the number of jobs is growing slowly due to great increases in labor productivity.
Fortunately, there are about two dozen stable neighborhoods in Detroit or neighborhoods that, with modest investments, might attract middle and upper income folks who work in Detroit. I realize the need to downsize neighborhoods but I hope that Bing Administration or EFM will also focus upon encouraging strong middle and upper income neighborhoods.
