yeah, my comment wasn’t really in response to your thoughts. More in response to thoughts about shoreline, distance, etc. I think Detroit’s suburban sprawl pattern makes sense, based on its orientation and rustbelt location. But yes, I also wonder why there wouldn’t be more development near an airport that’s a pretty busy hub.
