The fastest growing tech startup in the Midwest in 2013 and 2014 was and is in A2 (Duo Security). We have multiple Google Ventures, True Ventures, Resonant Venture, etc. startups. We have the Tech Brewery, A2 New Tech, SPARK, Tech Arb, etc.

Barracuda Networks was started here. Google's Michigan office is here. One of the top 5 public universities in the world is all around us.

I can't imagine why anyone on HN would drive from Ann Arbor to Detroit for work when there are much better and higher paying prospects right here in A2.

I was living in the Detroit suburbs at the time, to be honest the team I was working with was amazing enough that I'd gladly do the drive to work with them again.
