I am one of the many,many people that are leaving Flint for different states. The economy here is so bad that there are over 10,000 house on the market in genesee county alone, and thats not the foreclosures. Boarded up buildings, garbage everywhere and people who just don't care anymore. Dort Hwy used to be the strip where everything happened. Now building after building is boarded up and for sale and the only thing happening are the prostitites. Night life? Forget it, you take your life into your hands going out. Its very sad because I grew up here and have always loved Flint, but its just getting worse and I can't wait for things to change, I need to make a living now.
I bought a house in Texas and I leave in 2 weeks. Goodbye Flint, I'll miss the way you used to be not the way you are now.
