I think I'll still prefer a downtown Buffalo or a Cleveland that had a "carcass" to clean up.

The whole city is new, there is no past legacy to repair or correct for it can be whatever we want it to be. The only unfortunate thing really is lack of old architecture and although there was some loss generally speaking there wasn’t really that much to lose.
If you are going to put a big emphasis on living in a place with 200 years minimum of urban history it’s not going to be for you.
