This is just as logical as saying "this is a mall; people should shop here." Unsurprisingly, this does not cause shops to remain in business in malls that don't get enough shoppers.

There are not enough people in metro Detroit to fill all the living space. There are not going to be enough people until there is a lot less living space. Saying that people should live here because it is a city is not really responsive to the issue.
