Why is Flint one of the most Dangerous cities along with Detroit?
-
I just don't understand, I mean I used to go to school on the outskirts of Flint(Suburbs) which was school of choice as one of the bes schools, we had people from Flint going there that I knew and they weren't drug dealers or ghetto at all, I also not scared to go to Flint I been to Flint and it's no that bad where I'm from, also Flint cary a high white population so I don't understand why white people outside flint say they're scared to go to flint, even though it is a lot of blacks as well. I also been to Detroit which has A LOT of black people, I've been there and it's not that bad either I would be more scared to go to Baghdad or Brazil than Flint or Detroit I just don't understand why it's considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world, I been there and it was just fine I know people from there.

Answer:
Simply ~ though not simple ~ The original boom to Detroit by way of the Auto Industry, made a great city. During the expansion, other cities were called upon for factories, and related business, and workers to fill the orders for the many cars, parts, transportation of vehicles, etc. Flint at one time flourished also. Then the dreaded push for ecologically friendly vehicles and gas. So many regulations, rules, guidelines, changes, testings (not commenting on the right or wrong) began the downfall. Unions negotiated awesome pay, benefits, working conditions (again no judgment). Good times. Economic woes began on all levels of the industry and for many reasons, So just as the human body will sacrifice all other parts to save the heart, then the brain last ~ Flint began the fall first economically. Lost jobs, lost population, and all the woes that follow hit Flint and Detroit both. Detroit 'downsized' to save itself ~ still is. **Detroit is the only city in the history of the entire world, to have lost over a million in population.** So yes, better to walk or live in Flint or Detroit as compared to Baghdad, Brazil or many other places. Desperate people do desperate things to survive.

Because of the bad economy and, the general crime rates are high in those cities. However Detroit is no longer rated number one as the most dangerous city. Also, you have to consider a lot of people who speak bad about Detroit and, Flint have never been there and, rely on the media to educate them which makes them poorly educated which often results in the ridiculous comparison of Detroit to some dangerous war torn third world city.. A lot of people in this country are easily influenced by the Communist News Network (CNN) and, Faux Racist News. (FOX)
