 | | Flint is less than an hour away from me. I can tell you, it has become worse. |
 | | It may be worse in Michigan, IMHO, than other places because 1) industrialization was so closely linked to the auto industry, and diversification came late to Michigan, 2) Michigan's home rule laws prevented the annexation of suburban areas that other cities have used to their advantage around the country. |
 | | Well, theres not much ag going on near Flint anymore, because of suburbanization from detroit, and what farms remain are factory operations, which don't require a "market town" to sell their goods, just a granary off an exit to the freeway. |
