I wouldn't say "extremely" low or "severely" flawed, but perhaps could use improvement. I think you can still take a fair amount from it, especially that in most categories that most people would define as important for a good quality of life, Detroit still ranks extremely low.
Contrast it especially with the "comeback city" mantra which includes exactly zero quantitative analysis. Zero. Sample size? Dan Gilbert. Mayor Duggan. That's about it.
For all the people losing their minds on this thread, you can still like a place that is royally fucked, I mean, I like, for example, Bosnia a lot, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a profoundly broken and dysfunctional place.
