While YC is a wonderful program, I think it'd be nice to give some props and support to programs like TechStars that are actively expanding and supporting startup cities outside of the valley.

I completely agree. It's just that YC kinda has a reputation as being #1 at least for the kinds of startups they do. Either way, Detroit (or the Detroit area) has been overlooked IMHO and this is still a great thing to see.
Yep, I would love to see YC expand beyond the valley (drawing a bit on their east-coast past), though I can't blame them for focusing there.
