"Our plan is to maintain it as a park, but to take the underutilized portions and bring people in to live on the island; build a community of up to 50,000 residents. It's beautifully located. This would really be ideal to establish a community there," he said.

Beyond the many other reasons why this is bad idea (taking away public space, taking away green land, lack of infrastructure), there are just so many other places in Detroit to put 50,000 people that I don't know why anyone thinks this should be on a todo list for Detroit.
