Lol this is such an ignorant take. West side of Detroit is basically fully intact and it's absolutely enormous, nothing "little" about it. Try driving though it some time.
East side West side is a divide in Detroit but it's more a cultural thing, not really about class.
The dominant affluent corridor has always been Woodward, and that extents north into the suburbs. The East side has always had wealthy neighborhoods though, Indian Village, West Village, etc. and along the Jefferson corridor. East side probably has more blue collar overall. But it's not like a huge difference.
