Blame the fucking Nerd. People tend to leave a place if it has poisoned water.
Rick Snyder saved Michigan. It's unfortunate the Flint EM was not as competent as Kevin Orr, but more blame falls on Flint's failed local government. Any complaints about Benton Harbor under Whitmer's watch?
Benton Harbor has been a hellhole for at least 30 years if not longer. They had a riot there in the 60's and it kind of declined like Detroit.

I have no idea why people obsess on Benton Harbor, other than the racial aspects and makeup of the city. And it’s failure. It’s population is only 9000 something. A small small amount.

But given its failure, or lack of success, is it any different than half of the other similarly size cities-townships in Michigan? Are certain commentators and news reporters focusing on Benton harbor simply due to obsession with race? All of the similarly sized cities in the list, half are successful, half are not. Simple statistics. What all the attention to Benton harbor?

Otherwise, why aren’t we obsessing about flat rock, Plymouth, Bruce township, Alpena, ecorse, saline, highland park.
