The map was confusing. They say the edges of this diamond include Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati, so I imagine they are bundling them into this claim. But in the picture of the diamond they're excluded, making Detroit probably the most interesting city inside it.

Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati all sound better than Detroit. A lot better.

Exactly. There may be a ton of people in that diamond area, but I've lived inside it and Detroit is probably third backup at best for anyone looking for IT work. It's going to be a toxic area for a while.
