I didn't even get the impression that it's reviving. What I read was that the community, mostly abandoned by the government that's supposed to take care of it, is surviving - not thriving - on its own. They took necessary measures - advanced measures, grant you, but nothing other communities couldn't implement - to protect their living. Which isn't to say that I don't admire the effort or the implementation. It doesn't feel like revival to me. What do you mean when you say "one Detroit"?
