Yes, progress is slowly being made with Detroit becoming a normal city. However, compared to other major cities in America (or even cities like Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville, etc.), downtown Detroit is still fairly empty on a typical day and has a long way to go before it's "packed like sardines."

No, it's not an exaggeration, on this particular weekend it is literally, not figuratively packed like sardines.

Downtown streets are rarely empty. What are the sunbelt standards? do tell.
