So I am not a techno aficionado, and I'm curious what the state of Detroit techno is now. It seems like it should be more notable (maybe it is and I'm not in the scene to know) given the history and cost of living.

I regret the US turning away from house and techno, compared to Europe.

Detroit's cost of living is higher than the national average.

So school us a bit, rep your city since UNESCO won't. Where does one go in Detroit and what will they find?

Are people there talking about this?
