"East Detroit changed its name to Eastpointe for similar reasons, at great expense and with no positive result."

Yet according to the Eastpointe article...

"The city changed its name to 'Eastpointe' after a vote in 1992; the name change had been proposed to reduce its association with the adjacent city of Detroit, and the "-pointe" is intended to associate the city with the exclusive communities of the Grosse Pointes. One effect of changing the city's name was a dramatic rise in property values."

Perhaps someone could find a source supporting one of these assertions, and change both documents to reflect it.
