It's hard to square these quotes:

> SILICON VALLEY IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE IF YOU'RE IN THE 1% OF TECH STARTUPS. BUT IF YOU'RE IN THE OTHER 99%, YOU SPEND ALL YOUR TIME TRYING TO FIND TALENT, AND NOT ENOUGH BUILDING A BUSINESS

> Detroit has just 11,000 young professionals between 25 and 34 who hold at least a bachelor's degree

Or is it "once we convince people to move here and work with us, they're trapped"?

You're making a common mistake. Detroit has 700,000 people. Metro Detroit has an additional 3.5 million.

I don't have the stats but there's a much larger number of young professionals within easy commuting distance of downtown Detroit.
