Pick a random auto manufacturing plant in the U.S. today … the Honda plant in Marysville (Ohio), for example. Then find a location in New York City or Chicago where anything close to that size could fit.

Sorry. Not buying your argument. Detroit especially has massive amounts of usable land that simply needs to be leveled. Multiple square miles of trashed unlivable houses. There is land-o-plenty.

The reason that Honda / Toyota / Nissan , etc. is not in Detroit is real simple.

Detroit especially has massive amounts of usable land that simply needs to be leveled.

Sit down and figure out the cost of demolishing a thousand acres of existing buildings and infrastructure, and then compare it to the cost of building on undeveloped land.

Then see if you have two of the most critical off-site needs for a major auto manufacturing facility available in the middle of Detroit: (1) Class I railroad access for outbound shipments of finished vehicles, and (2) proximity to an intermodal rail terminal for inbound deliveries.
