Detroit\'s exodus will continue without a revival

A story examining Detroit's declining population and projected losses of another 100,000 to 200,000 people, mentions incentive programs like Live Midtown to revitalize the city. Wayne State University, Detroit Medical Center and Henry Ford Health System are offering incentives to get employees to move into the area. Midtown already is seeing some growth in population and retail. Detroit needs people in decent jobs to support growing retail and tax base, according to John Mogk, a Wayne State law professor. \"Those who have the potential for investment and creating jobs, what do they want to do in the city?\" he said.
