Is it not true that Detroit's "revitalization" is pretty much entirely due to massive taxpayer subsidies to Gilbert et. al.?

Has Detroit really come roaring back or, at best, has the rate of decline been slowed down?
Dan Gilbert is one of the main reasons for Detroit's comeback, but he's not the only developer who has invested in the city, and planning new developments, there are actually quite a few of them now.

Detroit really is roaring back, but it's only in DT and some close by neighbourhoods so far. But the city as a whole is better and healthier than it has been in decades. Obviously there are still some neighbourhoods that are hollowing out, but there are also other ones throughout the city that are starting to see people move back in.
I'm pretty sure that the population loss has slowed overall, with some areas even gaining in population.
