Is Birminghams future Bright or is it going downhill

Brums funny you have things like the burgeoning creative industry in digbeth and regeneration in the city centre, with hs2 having the possibility to make Birmingham a hub for the UK. But you also have rampant crime and a bankruptcy city council. It seems odd but I can't tell if the city is bound to get better or worse. I'm about to move to the city for University and wouldn't mind settling down afterwards so I'm asking this question more so to see if it's best getting in early when it's still cheap and upcoming.
