That doesn't sound like a good thing, at all, though?

Why do people cheer for population growth?

In this case, it's due to the way the infrastructure currently stands in Detroit. So many people moved out of Detroit years ago that 1/3 of the population is left to maintain the city. They need people to move back to generate money in order to rebuild.

I hope that means people are moving in rather than increase in births.
