    Yes, it will recover. The worst that could happen, has happened. It is all up from here. With the help of the universities, the colleges, Mott Foundation, federal and state funds , concerned citizens and proper leadership, I see a much brighter future.

    it’s a question of how long it will take, who’s left standing (hasn’t moved away), and how fit we feel once it’s over. We’ll be better, but strong….???….if it leads us to diversify our local economy as we’ve been crying out for decades, then, yeah, we’ll be great again, but in a different way…

    Yes, but it will be a different city. Have already seen one lady on TV who said she has family in Kentucky and would leave her house in a heartbeat if someone would give her $5,000 for it. I think that’s going to happen, neighborhoods with a majority of vacant homes will be razed and more green spaces will take their place. The poor and minorities will, unfortunately, be pushed out of the city.

    It’s going to take a lot of money and Flint now has it. Cities are going to need fixing all over America, hopefully this is just the beginning.

    Hopefully when the dust settles someone will have a vision. There are always opportunities. Again hopefully without strings attached.

    Recover? Recover to what? Flint will spend a hundred years in obscurity, with grass and moss growing over everything, including our children’s tombstones. Eventually, a lovely, happy village will grow up on the site. It may not even be called Flint. But, nice people will build there and live there. Eventually.

      Love it. Possibly true, too.
