I won't disagree with you there, but the political will wasn't there and downtown was dying. The business centers had already moved out to Troy and Southfield. Today, though I think the infrastructure is still in place, the city and inner rings suburbs are more vocal about their support for transit, and we all know, well maybe except for you, that downtown/midtown is a lot more business "vibrant" than it was 20-30 years ago.
