Yeah, that's why I was stressing the tax-payer bit, as that city was bankrupt and rundown, so that sort of money would go a long way to helping the needy and homeless... or investing in Detroit businesses to create more jobs (the movie studios will bring in their own people).
And it is definitely not a tourist destination, no matter how many movies and TV shows get made there. (my travel agent was almost amused when I suggested it last year when looking for a stop over city on the way to Chicago)
