What are you talking about? I have been to Main and Gerrard countless times and it looks nothing like Detroit. I'm not sure if this was intended to be a slight on the neighbourhood as being rundown or not but the housing vernacular and storefront layout is completely different. No vacant lots really either. Also, Main and Gerrard has some sweet 1890s era row houses from when it was an independent village.

Unless you mean similar in this sense (which I don't find particularly similar):
