again im not arguing against bringing in more resident taxpayers.

but talk to working class people in the cities you mentioned, especially Brooklyn or Queens. it is a double-edged sword, as is the capitalism that drives it. in and of themselves redevelopment and capitalism are not bad, but when allowed to run amuck overdevelopment is the result. NYC is anything but an urban utopia. it's a rich kids-only club, and the infrastructure is overburdened to the max from all the greedy developers looking to crowd tiny parcels with 20-story apt towers where once a house or small factory stood, without changing any of the aging utility infrastructure, and the greedy politicians are facilitating it.

all im saying is if Detroit is going to see a resurgence of population we have to guard against the pitfalls, and we have plenty of examples to look to for a roadmap.
