Obviously my comment was tongue-in-cheek and unrealistic, but the point is that most of Detroit is no longer really "developed". It would probably make the most economic sense to "downsize" Detroit, while keeping the subsidized potemkin villages of downtown and midtown, than it would to try and thwart development in areas with high property values and high demand.
