I think Detroit has a much easier time courting other city-dwellers who are used to [[and enjoy and prefer) living in a city than it does its own surrounding suburbanites. I considered the same cities this blogger is considering now that she's leaving NYC with her husband and baby. I feel like I could have authored this post.

Despite its fairly serious issues, I have a deep and complicated crush on Detroit I can’t shake off, or even explain easily. While I was originally planning to write a straight-forward list of how it fit my personal qualifications for a home base [[the excellent airport and proximity to water are two big pluses), Motown’s charms are less simple and quantifiable than that.
