There is a key difference between Flint and Youngstown.
"Under the initiative, dubbed Plan 2010, city officials are also monitoring thinly-populated blocks. When only one or two occupied homes remain, the city offers incentives - up to $50,000 in grants - for those home owners to move, so that the entire area can be razed. The city will save by cutting back on services like garbage pick-ups and street lighting in deserted areas."
Flint has no plan. |

I have to think that it would be more efficient to raze entire city blocks instead of demolishing individual homes. Imagine large swaths of open land in Flint.How much easier would it be to police these areas? How much $ could be saved by not having to plow and maintain so many streets, sewer and water lines?
Then... if we are ever primed for an economic turnaround we have plenty of open space to develop business, shopping, entertainment etc.
In the meantime, plenty of trees to hug. |

Somehow I knew that you would have something to say about the title of this thread.
Now let's hear your best Dick Cheney jokes. |
