I Live In The City of the Future. Welcome To Pre Armageddon
I live in Flint MI. now renamed by the public "Murdertown, U.S.A" or "Little Baghdad"
It is a war zone here
*Population: 102,000
*Police on duty at any given time: 6
*The police station is only open from 2pm-5-pm, closed holidays, weekends and evenings.
*It takes police anywhere from 8hrs to 4 days to respond to your 911 call... and your lucky to get a response at all.
*The murder rate here is worse than those in Newark and St. Louis and New Orleans. It’s even worse than Baghdad’s.
*Flint is so broke that the city can not even afford simple basic safety.
*If you live here you need to be in post Armageddon survival mode at all times, or fall prey to the statistics that will be posted for the 2011 year.

It is so bad, that a reporter for the New York Times came here to do a report on the situation in Flint
.
Here is what he wrote about his experience.
From the article:
A sign taped to the entrance of police headquarters says it all: “Closed weekends and holidays.” Every weekday, the doors are locked at dusk.

It’s not that the cops here are scared; it’s just that they’re outmanned, outgunned and flat broke.

After the door is unlocked and I enter police headquarters, it is easy to see why. There are only six patrolmen on duty for a Saturday night. So broke is Flint that the city laid off two-thirds of its police force in the last three years. The front desk looks like a dusty museum piece.

We leave headquarters and head out into the night. Howe turns up the heat in his Chevy cruiser and switches on the computer.

“That’s something,” I say hopefully. “Some squad cars in Detroit don’t even have computers.”

“Hold on a sec,” he says. “Let it warm up.”

When it does, I see that there are more than 12 runs stacked up, including a kidnapping call that is more than six hours old. A home-invader call is two hours old. A “man with a gun” call is 90-minutes old.

“Sometimes, we don’t get to a call for two days,” he says. Last fall, an elderly couple called after being held up at gunpoint in their driveway. The police arrived on the scene five hours later.

a collapsing economy, highest unemployment of all time, all time high home foreclosures, people here are left in depression and desperation on how to survive. This has thrown this city into a state of chaos and survival.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1357579


i agree
everyone who lives here says the same thing

If you listen to our gov officials here in the city, they try saying that the city is turning around and everything is fine.

"A group of elected officials and business leaders gathered today at the construction site of Hurley Medical Center's expansion to recognize Flint's recent designation as a "comeback city" for 2011.

Flint was included on a list of 11 U.S. cities that were hit hard by the nationwide recession, but are showing signs of an economic turnaround. The list was compiled by Kiplinger, a business and finance forecasting publication.

"This distinction doesn't take away from the challenges we face and I face at City Hall," Flint Mayor Dayne Walling said. "It shows Flint and Genesee County is poised for growth and diversification in 2011... There is hope and there is progress."

Re: I Live In The City of the Future. Welcome To Pre Armageddon
Very sad Nin, alot of us in the North East are in the same circumstances.

They (gang bangers) shot a baby in a car. When they interviewed the father, they asked him "any words you
would like to express." He said, "yes, MISSED ME."

I worked in a family shelter and tried working in a juvenile delinquent center, it is unbelievable. The kids, everyone is afraid of the kids, they run the show.

Well Nin, prophecies are that the Ozarks are a safe refuge and New Mexico (North) are to be a place of light and refuge.

Time to head for the hills while you still can.

This is not the richest country in the world- the politicians and bankers have made it the most extended, and pretty well raped out too.

Now they think they are going to collect on us. We'll see.

Hey fellow Michigander. I remember when Flint was a good place to work and live- like Lansing. People could move there from the U.P. (where I was born) make a living and retire at home. We are talking about 25 years ago, not long at all.

When the owners closed down the iron mine in my home area the equipment was shipped to China. This has all been arranged for a long time.

It's too bad- I love living here and am willing to hang on for as long as I can because of the seasons and the lakes.

Maybe we will be selling carp and zebra mussels to China.

WE have the technology and resources to improve the quality of life of towns but the elite choose not to .

This recession was implemented to destroy us, the rich profited from it .
The result is ghost towns with high crime and high unemployment .

I wish you the best of luck .

That's when you really need to know your neighbors...
when there is no police on the other side of your 911 call.

That's a tough lifestyle for the elderly. They really should form
some sort of network in their neighborhoods. Help look out for one another.

Thanks for sharing NIN....stay safe. hf
