There are already a group of drone companies in Detroit. I've met several of them. They want to be able to fly over the city but so far have been blocked.
Giving them a large area to test would give the city a huge advantage over the rest of the US and I believe drive more drone companies to relocate in Detroit where they would find cheap real estate and an abundance of engineering talent.
I think Mark Andreesen undoubtedly knows this and that is why he picked Detroit for his example.
