Since then the former steel town has been tearing down abandoned houses with the goal of pulling out of some neighborhoods and turning them into urban gardens or public green space. Some say the plan is working ” others aren’t so sure.WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
- Flint (MI) Expatriates Blog: Why Not Just Close Parts of Flint?
- MLive.com: Candidates show little support for closing Flint streets
- Flint Journal: Youngstown, Ohio mayor to bring ideas for smaller city to Flint
