Crime - 6/8/2010
Crime is really high in the city. The mayor made a decision to cut 46 police officers leaving the city to the criminals. Someone is dying all the time or being robbed. There are barely any jobs in the city and many are receiving unemployment.

Flint is a great place to live - 3/27/2010
My is Marta, and I was the president the Mott Park neighborhood in Flint, MI for three years.
I live with my husband and two children that I homeschool.
Flint is a great place to live and wonderfull things are starting to
happen here. The city is going thru a transition from an industrial car hub to a university and research hospital center.
You could divide Flint in the "old Flint" and the new Flint. The old is people that worked at the factories and were used to GM to take care of them, forever. GM was the authority that dominated their lives and they complained, but they expected that things would be solved for them, by others...their bosses.
The new Flint, most of them young people know that companies come and go and they are not forever to take care of your needs and your family needs generation after generation. This is the group that is creating very interesting things in Flint. they are entrepreneurs, artist and love Flint with

FLINTSTONE FOREVER! - 12/25/2009
My name is Michael Green. I used to live in Flint, Michigan. I went to Bunche, Longfellow and Northern! I graduated in 1981 and immediately went into the service (U.S. Navy). I would visit every opportunity I could while in military and would see the city gradually declining. I miss EVERYTHING about Flint. From Roulettes skating rink to Forest Park! Flint will NEVER be the same from the 70's and 80's! From Vanwagner Street, Mason Street, Dayton Street, Saginaw Street, Clio Road, Pasadena Street, Barth Street to Mallery Street, I will ALWAYS claim Flint as my home!!

SHAME ON U - 9/28/2009
SHAME ON YOU!!! I am so tired of people like you saying negitive things about a city and people you don't know anything about. Burton ain't nothing but a hole in the wall itself. There are alot of people in Flint care about where they live. It is a shame how people can talk about a city but will drain it dry of it's resources. I bet 30% of the people you know work in Flint. Sucking up all the jobs from the people who live in the city and go home and complain. Get a job where you live if Flint is so bad then we will see your pretty little Main St. homes turn into the slumms and ghetto. That goes for all of you stupid people that just run your mouth about negative issues in a struggling city. People who live in Owosso, Burton, Mt.Morris, Flushing, Clio, Genesse, Fenton,etc. This goes for

Flint! - 12/28/2008
Well...I am studying to be preservationist. And the situation in Flint right now is simply pathetic! Ughhh...it makes me sick to drive around Flint and see all the history of this once great town decaying and evaporating like water as quick as you can say "stupid" Most prople just don't care! Our whole city is going down the drain with GM and Ford, and well, the mayor is helping any!They act like they are trying to fix up all of the decaying buildings in the historic districts that were torn down by ignorant self-centered loonitics! They are so lazy that they can't preserve our great history, because we are so poor! Flint is Discusting and full of lazy people who just don't care! I'm not going to keep quiet about this anymore, because this is a subject of matter that just doesn't need to be kept "shushed" any

Depressing, Depressing - 11/20/2008
I am originally from around the Flint area. I recently went back for a visit. I have traveled to many, many cities and have never found one as depressing as Flint. Boarded up stores,rude people, high crime and the downtown looks like a horror scene right out of a movie. I am so thankful I moved to Fort

Flint Michigan - 2/26/2008
Hello
Well, there isn't much to say here------I have lived here all my life while working for General Motors. The town is simply depressing with not much going for it. The overall attitude of the people is depressed it would seem. The only good thing I can think about Flint Michigan is the low cost of housing. However, with the continued downsizing of the auto industry the economy is continually getting worse along with the crime rate since Flint's economy is largely based on General Motors.
