Dunno, all that separates today's Detroit from Robocop's Detroit are the robotic police units, well until they arm the drones. You have the yuppie Detroit and the rest. Doesn't look very different that some Mexican cities recently in the news, wealth on one side of the fence and the poor excluded. oh sure, they get subsidies and such, carefully factored to insure their incentive to take from those on other side of the fence doesn't occur.

Until all that urban blight is settled Detroit isn't back. This is just a game to get the bonds people and such back in the game after bankruptcy goes through.
