Detroit has the potential to become the new cool, underrated city for hipsters and get gentrified.

It did, actually. Guy who founded a bunch of Berlin night clubs pushed for a 24 hour club district to create a new economy around the music scene which the city developed. People vetoed it, because in part Detroit is a largely automotive city and fears of drunk driving and drug abuse and crime increases made things less simplistic. Detroit's techno scene made Berlin in particular a worldwide destination for tourism and brought billions of dollars into the economy, making it one of the cultural epicenters of Europe post-reunification. A North American equivalency would be worth the risk, and an increase in public transportation and funding of walkable areas to accommodate international tourists wouldn't have been such a bad idea to generate revenue for the city.
It really depends on how Detroit specifically deals with crime. A couple far left, commie Soros-funded DA's would completely destroy the city and housing could be completely worthless within a decade. Detroit is a cool city. A lot of cheap housing. A lot of problems, though. A lot of good stuff.

It will be the next Portland in 20 years. Much better cultural history too. Im pulling for Motown, sucked to see it crash as hard as it did.

I'm pulling for Detroit but if it turns into some progressive haven like this shit holes out west, fuck it. Let it burn.

Hipsters already tried that last decade. Why do you think the lights are still on? Do hipsters even exist post lockdowns?

Good thing I purchased 2 dozen homes in Detroit in exchange for some used DVD players and a coupon book in 2009.

Not a single person in this thread knows one things about Detroit.
Detroit first and foremost is a heavy intensive industrial city with possibly the best infrastructure in America.
Incredible highway and road system (beside potholes), power grid was designed for high consumption, and it is in a decent location in proportion to Americas overall population distribution
But the city is incredibly corrupt and the demographics shifted after 1960s to cause irreversible damage
Yet, there is still hope for the arsenal of democracy
