I guess the whole article read to me like this

[[ I am a succesful businessman with everything I need for my family the suburbs. My life is fine, but it wouldn't be if I moved back to the city in it's current station. Yet I wish I could still live there because I love it so much. ]]

....Well that's nice. But there are MANY people who will tell the same story. It's gotten old. I could care less. Let me hear from someone who is making an effort. I know residents and outsiders who have a genuine interest in helping out the city. They take the time out of their busy schedules to volunteer or donate to a worthy cause.

If that's not your thing, you can still travel into the city on any given day and walk the riverfront, go to a Tigers game, eat at a local restaurant and not have to put up with all those problems mentioned by the writer.
