Content in the 5e Player's Handbook is all available, except for Dark Elves. Dark Elves don't exist any longer, except for one sub-species, the Drow hiding deep in the Underdark. House rule is everyone sets aside any conflict when a Drow appears to attack the Drow.
Content from other sources, such as Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, etc. can be found by the character but isn't freely available. The Artificer class is available for the player. Other character sub-class options outside of the PHB choices need a discussion between player and GM to align on how the sub-class fits into the city of Detroit.
