What are the implications?

Is it a Metro Detroit problem or a city of Detroit problem? Or is it even a problem at all?

I was skeptical about the previous predictions of a less than 800,000 resident Detroit. But that was before the Ohio numbers released today showed that Cleveland declined by over 17%. Detroit and Cleveland inner-cities have pretty much mirrored each other in decline since 1960. So, I think a less than 800,000 resident Detroit has gone from improbable to inevitable.
