This is VICE, so grain of salt and whatnot, and it's not the best-written or thought out article, but they do have a good point. Massive amounts of obvious things aren't being taken care of, like developing land, or creating incentive for developing land, while a rather unnecessary upper-middle to wealthy class store is created. I'd say it's too early to call it gentrification, but I think we all know that's eventually what's going to happen. It's prime for that scene creation, and Michigan does have a large swath of young people to popularize it.
