I compare London as the Grand Rapids type city. Grand Rapids is 2.5 hours from Detroit and London is similar distance to Toronto. Yet Grand Rapids is far more ambitious with building attractions, sports facilities, etc.

I wouldn't call it ambitious. I would call it crazy. Both cities have good bones but, there's alot they could do for less monetary incentives to be more attractive than going the sports and convention center route. One is so overvalued right now and the other is overbuilt.
