Re: Detroit's Beautiful, Horrible Decline (Photos)

wow, wish we had that much space in the centre of our city... beautiful!

is it true though, as some friends in toronto told me a couple of years back, that the centre of detroit is not revived also because a handful (two?) investors own most part of it and haven't decided yet that it's time to invest again in these areas?
