How do you envision Detroit as America's Berlin? I do not necessarily disagree with you, but I've just never heard (or thought) of Detroit and Berlin together.

Basically, as a city reinvigorated by younger people moving in from more expensive areas to take advantage of a very cheap cost of living and solid housing bones. A hipster haven, if you will.
The US is odd in that the arts and musical communities are centered in expensive locales like LA and NY. No reason why this should be the case. Williamsburg would be better off in Detroit: cheaper rents.
Obviously Detroit should aspire to be more than a hipster magnet but certain areas of the city seem ripe for this kind of transformation.
