Talk of downsizing Flint hits London

Talk about shrinking Flint has made it all the way to the United Kingdom.
Genesee County Treasurer Dan Kildee and others discusses the idea of razing parts of Flint and how such a plan could apply to other cities around the country in an article published at telegraph.co.uk in London.
Karina Pallagst, director of the Shrinking Cities in a Global Perspective programme at the University of California, Berkeley, tells the Telegraph there has been "both a cultural and political taboo" about admitting decline in America.
"Places like Flint have hit rock bottom. They're at the point where it's better to start knocking a lot of buildings down," said Pallagst.
