With some modifications, this film could be used by the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Dial down the business boosterism just a tad. Show a few shots of smiling attractive people getting piss drunk. Have a sequence of Smilin' Dean Fearing slinging some kind of fancy pants hash. Add a few close-ups of people stroking their chins in deep engagement with the Sixth Floor Museum.

And make sure each speaker ends his statement with, "And really, there are hardly any titty bars -- very few, if even that."

By the way, the German Financial Times article quotes the Dallas Observer:

Der "Dallas Observer" vergleicht den Stadtteil sogar mit einer Geisterstadt und zitiert den Immobilienmakler Joel Pustmueller: "Als ich kürzlich abends dort essen gehen wollte, habe ich mich gefühlt wie Will Smith in ,I Am Legend‘." Keine angenehme Vorstellung: In dem Science-Fiction-Film streift der letzte Überlebende einer Virusinfektion durch das entvölkerte New York.
Rough Translation from Babelfish:

The “Dallas Observer” compares the quarter even with a spirit city and quotes the real estate agent Joel Pustmueller: “As I recently in the evening eating to go there wanted, I felt like Will Smith in, I to putting `.” No pleasant conception: In the Science Fiction film the last survivor of a virus infection touches by the depopulated New York.
