I have my doubts if Detroit can ever rise again. There's talk of actually destroying remnants of smaller nearly abandoned towns to get them off the books as the cost of maintaining a city government when there's nearly no population (tax base) is unsustainable...the same thing could be said about Detroit, it's just a monetary sinkhole and all attempts to rebuild it have so far failed miserably.

The NY Times had an article about the demolition of Pennsylvania Station many years ago and made a most appropriate remark to the effect that future generations will not judge us for what we've built but for what we've destroyed.
