The headline is not about Detroit, but about our midwestern neighbor and lodestone, Chicago.

From 2000 to 2010, population there is down 200,000.
From 2010 to 2015, most of the areas are flat, the city center gained, and the south side lost a ton of residents.

My point is that I think the trend there, which matches the trend here, is broader than just our city's management. There appears to be an overall trend in that direction. Good thing or bad thing? I don't know. But it's not something particular to Detroit.
