Flint, Michigan's Eastside Hoods Look ROUGH.
Flint's Eastside looks really bad in some spots. The city has experienced economic decline for decades, as auto manufacturing jobs are not as plentiful as they once were. The city saw high unemployment numbers starting in the 1970's, which lead to high poverty and crime rates. With all of those factors considered, the city was in a financial crisis, which in return created the water crisis... and today, this is what Flint looks like.

I absolutely love this Flint series…born, raised and adulting in genesee county. As a child Flint was booming and it’s very sad to see it crumble in a very slow agonizing way. too bad the outlying townships(I live in mt.Morris) have no vote in the city as it directly affects every town around it. Corrupt government killed the city and will continue to do so😖

What's funny is no one sees the bigger picture, they surrounded flint with charter townships to stop it from expanding and refusing to let it annex, just so they could choke it off, watch it die, then all come together in the end and annex it equally amongst each chartered township. Unless flint gets some kind of massive bailout, within the next 10-15 years I'm almost certain there won't be a flint Michigan anymore.

Lived on the eastside of Flint for 23 years, moved out in 1999. I''m surprised my sons survived. Lots of gangs during the 90s terrorized the eastside, lots of teenagers were murdered, seems like we went to a lot of funerals during that time. So sad.

I live on the Eastside of Flint. It's so bad around here that it caused Santa Claus...and the reindeer that pull his sleigh...have sadly BYPASSED the Eastside on Christmas Eve since the early 1980's. My kids at that time received very few Christmas gifts...since Santa turned his back on us. Santa is a DICK!!!
So many of the smaller cities across the rust belt that have had bad reputations for crime have depopulated to the point where there's nothing left to steal. Flint, Gary, Youngstown, and especially East St. Louis seem to fit that description.
6:30 building on the right is soon to be removed. 7:41 the house on the left was at one time owned by local Flint legend, "Gypsy Jack" a real character who owned numerous western antiques and outfitted his house in that manner with a stagecoach in his yard. He even dressed like a cowboy as well. After he died, his house of course was looted. 15:17 some turn to arson to expedite the removal of abandoned buildings. Making a mess bigger for others to remove. Terrible practice for numerous reasons, but there it is. I'd just like to improve one square mile of Flint for a start.

JACK was a super nice guy, my house we move in 85 on Kearsley Park Blvd between Olive and Wisconsin. The park was beautiful then.
I so am sad for Flint. As a young child I lived in Mott Park. My father was a professor at GMI. When I was starting kindergarten we moved to West Home Avenue. By my third grade my parents moved to Flushing. The area was getting rough, even back in the 1960's. We attended Christ Episcopal Church for many years, even after moving to Flushing. But by the 1970's it just wasn't safe enough to leave your car in the church parking lot. So we changed to the Episcopal church in Flushing. So sad to see Flint now. A few years ago we took a trip to Michigan. We planned to get off the expressway to just drive around and remember the old times. We were shocked to say the least. It was like a third world country. The police stopped us to ask us what we were doing. Once we told them they strongly suggested to go back to the expressway. We were sticking out as an older white couple, in new car. It just wasn't safe for us. So very sad. I will try to remember the good ole days of my childhood. Thank you for your truth and taking me on a journey I will never be able to.
I grew up on the East Side back in the 70’s & 80’s. Went to Washington elementary and Flint Central. It’s sad what has happened to that city in which a short time. It’s almost unrecognizable from what it was back even in the mid to late 90’s.

Moved to VA in 1999 when my son was little. People are great in flint but crime and poverty are high. My daughter and grandchildren still live there and it's so sad to watch them live in a place that will go no where.

so sad to see Flint like this, moved in 1993. I still own a house there in the Court St and Center area. This is where I grew up. So many memories. My Dad worked at Fisher Body and my mom worked in the cafeteria at Flint Central. Both have passed but we still own the home. Thanks for the video
I grew up on Flint’s East Side Center Rd and Leith St. born in 1964 and moved away in 1990. I enjoyed living there back then. My Father worked for GM. My brother and I still own our family home.
Lived on the east side from 92 to 99. It was pretty bad then, but nothing like now. GM built the city, And GM killed it. It’s been said that GM was going to do this on purpose, because of the sit down strikes in the 1930’s. But I think the return of manufacturing jobs is actually happening. A lot of the stuff in east Asia, is actually in the process of coming back. China is pricing itself out of the cheap labor market. And I’m not even talking about all of the other problems they have. It now actually costs more to manufacture something in China 🇨🇳, than it does here. And their major customer base is here. It’s all about the money 💵💸
Lived near Dort and Davison the first 12 years of my life, went to Washington Elementary school in the 80s, crazy to see how it all looks now. The apartment I grew up in burnt down and so did the school. The AC plant my grandfather worked in is gone, pretty much everything that I recall from the area that was relevant to me has changed.

You've done an awesome job capturing the grit and passion that made Flint Flinttown. With that, you've also brought the reality that Flint is s today, and that's real. So many of these places I know, used to go to and do business at before Flint got really bad in the late 1980s and right when I left in 1991. Flint was prosperous and thriving and I will never regret being born and raised there. It can still survive but we need a major overhaul in government, management, and business. Shrink the city, that's the first thing. Shrink it. It's too big the way it is. Bring the city limits in closer, then work on the blighted areas one area at a time. Clean it up. There are grants, federal dollars that can help if managed and utilized correctly. Then you can attract businesses back. I did my thesis on this. I would love to go back and do what I could to bring my city back.

8:57 Whether or not it is a good thing for a city to annex land depends on the specific circumstances of the annexation and the effects it has on the city and the people living in the annexed area. There are some potential benefits to annexation for a city. For example, annexation can allow a city to expand its boundaries and access to resources such as land, water, and natural resources. It can also allow a city to incorporate unincorporated areas into its jurisdiction, which can provide those areas with access to city services and infrastructure. Annexation can also provide a city with additional tax revenue and population growth. However, there can also be potential drawbacks to annexation for a city. For example, annexation can be costly for a city, as it may require the city to invest in additional infrastructure and services to support the annexed area. Annexation can also be controversial, as it can lead to conflicts between the city and the people living in the annexed area over issues such as taxation and representation. Additionally, annexation can lead to social and economic changes in the annexed area, which may not be welcomed by everyone living here. Born and raised in SW Detroit.

Flint did not die because it could not annex surrounding towns. The unions, management and shareholders of the auto companies own it. They could have invested in higher quality autos that could have competed with Japanese, German,and Korean models but all parties simply extracted as much cash out of the process as possible. The corporations took their profits and the unions some of the most ridiculous wage benefits one could imagine. While Toyota created the highest quality gasoline engines and transmissions, the Big Three gave us crap. The only slack I cut Detroit is that Congress and the Cafe standard did not allow Detroit to make the transition to small cars over a longer period.
The factory was one of two Ac Delco, spark plug division the other was the filters plant, my Grandfather and my Uncle both retired from those plants, I lived on Kansas st. on the east side back before the water scandal happened, I got out just in time, I grew up around the city from the 80s to 2000s, at some points it was a very high crime city, in fact at one time was 1st on the nation's worse in crime, and I was there just a few days ago and there's more abandoned and burned houses, to me it's gone, and it's once profitable area is no more, things downtown are being revised and rebuilt, but Flint has a long road back to its once busy city
I grew up on the corner of Hamilton and Iowa, it’s very sad to see Flint in the state it is. I remember when it was a nice place to be.

I always despised the way the entire Flint area is laid out. Same with Saginaw.
I went to Washington in the 90s there was a bathroom and locker room in the basement it was closed. The school was a shithole in the 90s

i grew up in Flint in the mid 1980s. i remember clearly the factories closing, Autoworld. i lived in the 48503 zip code (on Franklin just a few houses up from Court St, and on Chalmers St between Windemere and 2nd). I went to Pierce Elementary and Whittier Middle, while my sister went to Flint Central High. in 2018 my wife and i moved to the Upper Peninsula from Florida and drove through Flint, taking some time to show her my memories. it was wierd for me, i kept telling her i see ghosts and phantoms of my childhood friends running up and down the sidewalks, and playing in fields where we would play football and baseball. We had dinner at Angelo's and she LOVED the coneys. in 2020 we moved back to florida because of the Covid pandemic. Now we are strongly considering moving back to michigan, this time to Flint. she is a nurse and i am a union journeyman electrician. how ironic im going back to where it all began for me...
What my home town Flint needs to do is get out of the automobile industry and getting us something else.
Dude you in a car across the street, they ain't hearing a word you said 😂😆
Not sure I agree with annexation. Technically Russia is annexing parts of Ukraine right now.
That used to be a spark plug .
My uncle went to that school in the beginning of video, He's almost 80.
Yeah it started with gm.
They could make it cheap to open up businesses maybe entice some big box businesses to set up by waving a lot of start up taxes and minimizing red tape. Then try to get a defense contractor to set up in the area. That's what I'd do to save it.
I live like 25 mins from there and yeah it be like...😳

My grandfather grew up on the East Side of Flint in the 1930s. It wasn't much better back then.
