This is the whole point of the conversation. Demographic future. Detroit doesn't have an inverted population pyramid nor a baby bust so it makes no sense. 2060-era Detroit won't be anything like China, S. Korean and Japan, with a gigantic population of pensioners and relatively few workers.

No rich, western country faces a demographic challenge as long as they have the immigration lever. The U.S. has the strongest immigration lever on earth, so the U.S. will only have a population problem if it chooses to have one. The U.S., more than any other country, is "choose your population characteristics".
And, despite all the right-wing rhetoric, there's no indication there's a serious constituency advocating for such demographic collapse.
