"vibrant and bustling ethnic neighborhoods and enclaves" Are you talking about Detroit? All of those vibrant and bustling neighborhood enclaves left Detroit years ago.

"rich history" Yes, there was a history.

"rich architecture" If it hasn't been torn down.

"density" At 750,000 population, Detroit is not very dense.
