I don't play the "I can't draw a mathematically-perfect line precisely separating the universe into two parts therefore you can't draw a line at all" game. That's just sophomoric philosophy masquerading as wisdom. I have absolutely no problem at all living with the idea that I know prestige projects when I see them, and that there may sometimes be borderline cases.
Rebuilding Detroit is, itself, a "prestige" project in the eyes of many.
Or, put more directly... your definition of "prestige" project may not line up with another's definition of "prestige" project. Which are to be funded? Which are not to be funded?
You'll get into never ending debates if you go down that rabbit hole.
