Nolan Finley has several op-ed about the changes in Downtown and Midtown and how Detroit demographic isn't reflected in it. I don't understand why he doesn't get it. Who does he think the 250,000 people who left between 2000 and 2010 were? The Detroit residents who would be in the current Downtown and Midtown moved to NYC, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. Is this common thought in the area? Are people that clueless on Detroit's economic demographic? In one breath you talk about poverty and/or the working class in the city and then wonder why they aren't in Midtown during happy-hour.
