Conan Smith, a businessperson quoted in a 2012 article by ''[[The Ann Arbor News]]'', stated the most significant reason [[Washtenaw County, Michigan|Washtenaw County]], including Ann Arbor, is not often included in definitions of Metro Detroit is that there is a "lack of affinity that Washtenaw County as a whole has with Wayne County and Detroit or Oakland County and Macomb".<ref name="stanton"/> Ann Arbor is nearly 43 miles by car from [[Downtown Detroit]], and developed separately as a university city, with its own character. Smith said that county residents "just don't yet see ourselves as a natural part of that [Detroit] region, so I think it feels a little forced to a lot of people, and they're scared about it".<ref name="stanton">Stanton, Ryan J.
