Thanks for posting this. I was visiting New Orleans and this doesn't look any better than the worst of it down there. This neighborhood was called Civic Park, when I was growing up there in the 60's. I went to the school on Forest Hills and Dayton and grew up the next block after Humbolt, which you drove down. I got outta there in 1978 right before GM killed the city. I share your disbelief-just like New Orleans, the federal government failed Flint.

I am from Flint and have lived in New Orleans for the last three years, they both are about as bad, the difference is New orleans at least had the floods.

job? JOB is the correct answer. JOBS and the people that relied on one. Getting a career and striving for higher goals would have been better. The city used to be beautiful, people got really convinced their job would last forever. Nobody planned for GM packing up and laying everyone off.

Bottom line, nobody in this car has a career.

My father has worked for GM and is now retired. We moved outta flint in 1992 and went to Grand Blanc. I now live in Canton.

I'm from there. Flint was nice. The people did not 'fuck it up'. It was an economy based solely on auto related jobs. Those jobs started leaving in the mid 70's. The smart people left early, and the kids of the not so aware left in the 80's and 90's. I left in 81' two weeks after high school graduation. Unemployed people,Stores close, older people die, houses go unsold. 30 years later, zero tax base and presto, Flint, Michigan! The downside of pure capitalism coming to a town near you
