the detroit self-heal border as crews are close to wrapping up that ridge project the way i remember general motors going bankrupt i remember the feeling of not being surprised at all. for us it was you know going to be like any other day. going to work. it was in the daylight shocking news it was more like the inevitable death of a very old member of the family but i felt like ok now. we can move on to little johnny will be on the way she has reached a deal this week we're going to certain issues it's of jeeves subunits also getting it's it's it's almost bigger than life is to rock of gibraltar you can't go bankrupt. it was almost like hearing that. you were

a child in your parent made dependent on for your existence is on life support. there's a chance of snow showers friday's high holding call up thirty degrees thirty fourth detroit's current rating it was kind of a sad day. but we were just all disbelieve in all that it actually happened. when you have when you're supposed to have some of the smartest guys in charge of things and they say bankruptcy is the way to go i guess all you have is the hope that they know what they're talking about that you have emerged from that become a better company. they're the type of company that's always said oh it will just make what the people want. but obviously that's not what they were doing. the bankruptcy of g.m. was kind of you know it it's not really a popular thing to say around detroit but. i was actually pretty excited because i

thought for once. maybe this big company had a chance to change. you. still sing to sixty. this was this is like. where i played i remember you know playing with my old trucks and this and this for trailing i remember seeing you know in the afternoon

the school kids coming and going and then at a different time in the afternoon watching the factory workers walk to work many people just walked out here in america now everybody drives people drive to the end of their driveway to pick up their mail. it but then there's a different kind of a community. it is a great neighborhood really. most of the people who lived here worked for general motors the buick factory was just just a few bar block that way so it was a working class neighborhood it wasn't a poor neighborhood most of the people who work in the autumn of the factories did really well. nobody realized how fragile that economy once because it was always their general motors was actually born here in

flint grew up here and keep people worked in the factories especially in the after the one nine hundred forty s. made very good wages. more than a college graduate would make. you look at. this house like thousands of others. was abandoned and when people leave they don't take their houses with them and they also don't pay taxes anymore on the property and so my office. is responsible for tax collection and when people abandon their property and stop paying taxes we take that to court and we get a judgment and take ownership of the property so this house now is owned by the land bank we get those properties then we try to make a decision about what to do with found with with all these thousands of abandoned houses.

that brings back a lot of memories then that heard that bell ring. really. funny because there are the sounds that i remember. i remember the church bell ringing and i remember the factory whistle ringing you know the factory whistle saying it's time for the shift to start course you don't hear them anymore. and think. hey i you know what i'm doing all right. think so you know this is the house i lived in when i was a little boy oh yeah yeah yeah well welcome to you. know that.

this is a city of about one hundred ninety thousand people and we had eighty thousand people working for general motors so the odds are if you had a job in flint it was a job working for general motors or a job that depended on general motors only if you're a. thanks

. now i mean the problem we have is that the legacy of general motors what i'm left with i deal with empty houses where g.m. workers used to live with empty buildings where general motors used to have factories with wide open space that used to be a. factory and it's now empty you know piece of abandoned property that we now on there's an office building that was once

a general motors office building that milan banco on so in many ways were left i'm left dealing with the cleanup of this map. these are all vied i own all they're all sherry's. each one has a different role i guess that our lives that you see here we have a dump truck that we use in our business that litter different things trees and stone and mulch and things where we have the box man which if we want to move things around and i get what you put things in cypress we hook the bug truck which is the black truck up over there to go to the mud dogs and we haul at the black truck here to the trailer we move our equipment around that the skid sear that sets over there and they ask of eight or the one next to the black truck over there is

the white blazer and what we do with that is you go to the sand dunes the plaintiffs say and one for the mud one for the sand. like truck cares for got to plow into from explorer out here in a farm keep the roads open and stuff and read when i drive to work in the wintertime which also has a plow on it white when i drive in the summertime it gets better gas mileage has six owner in it and this is my wife's car. general motors has been number one forever there have been the ones that beat forever you want to talk about a sad day of sad days when toyota announced that they their sales were more than what g.m. is you know that's probably

a day to fix some of the more than the bankruptcy and. i'm the president of u.a.w. local six fifty two which stands for the united auto workers union and what i do is i'm in charge of the ministration of the hall of our membership and deal with any problems and become before the membership. might very well i'm good i just wanted to visit some cadillacs all right i think they got them in stock years ago you didn't have to worry about our share because you know it was just a given that people bought because that's what their dad drove or you know you this is what you buy and then slowly you know by not paying attention to the usual things on the market and you don't have the loyalties that used to have you know

the people just buying because that's what you bought you know somehow i get to be uncool to drive a domestic vehicle. i try to be a negative person and try to look at what we need to do right i think there put some people in place where they're going to write some wrongs and i think they're going to be all straight up maybe fly right i mean and i think they owe it to the people they all that and selfless to get of a company to see that disappear you know from the landscape of the of the nation. g.m. donated this building to c.c.'s to use. it's kind of turned into this. at the center of design in detroit with the college that

i it's and. just on the whole is the clay studio computer labs everything is kind of right in these halls where so many infamous and. iconic designs were presented writings very room. i guess what makes me different from many of my other colleagues and students is that i focus mainly on sustainable transportation and solutions for. the environmental problems that we have today. coming from car design in a more sustainable way and looking for solutions to the problems it's just it's just crazy that now we're in the space where some of those problems were helped to create. think general motors at one time represented

kind of the pinnacle of the industrial era. how company could become so dominant in the market just through sheer brute force. general motors simply became too large for their own good and so many brands that they couldn't even keep up with and they just basically became a dinosaur i guess it's just almost fitting that the solutions are going to come from the same place but generally the problems and hopefully you know myself and the people at the school can do our best to find those solutions. the fisher body points where pretty much all cars were built from g.m. before they had their own design all the design work and all the body work was done by fisher. to me it just

represents the glory days of detroit and it's just so strange to see to see this site and. and just environment around it is just so peculiar. detroit used to be a very diverse city people lived downtown people walked people took the tram in a sense it was one of the most european cities and it's designed densely populated easy to get about and it had a very very good public transportation system grand central or great station. was

simply the hub of that the epicenter of of the trains and the trams that ran all around the city. so when the automobile. basically came to be general motors saw. the troll is then the public transportation as competition for their new product and in order to eliminate it basically bought up that industry and saw to that it was not going to be around so the people in detroit were basically forced into the automobile. the general motors people the you know the situation tell us the next for her

layoffs to come with this month g.m. said it would change the rules and i would still need three thousand positions just like in the system. the early sixty's six two three four five six those are what i call the innocent years you know people begin to make good money things begin to turn around here for african-americans and all we as kids begin to experience a better life than our parents did. and you had people migrating up here from the south and with very little education get hired right away at the plant you know people were coming up here by the bus

loads you know and it really built the middle class in southeast michigan so now that you see bit better life line is not gone but it has changed drastically i want to be successful spirit i want to be successful naturally i want to be successful i answer that i want to be successful mentally kimo so much the world what good is what helps me to help people in making wise decisions on stewardship i have a discipline in finance it's hospice if it leave the area of accounting. like that. god has me here for such

a time as this it is no coincidence that green agrees temple has a pastor who happens to be an accountant. we applied it to kind of the financial times where we're back to put some principles in place and here sales to can. because we. know where the economy. regardless of what economy guy has got steel us ok. and this is. what i'm trying to be as long as about three weeks you know me i'm looking for a partner on carving out a place five hundred oh my daughter four years is that i will come to you for help with live with my first month's rent and i bet if it's possible i guess i can find her or keep her here yesterday not in the way. you look across three years on

motivating people in this day and time is more difficult than it was in my father's pastorate when people were laid off right during those decades of you knew how when you would be returning to work so my father's days of motivating was i think a little easier in my day they come to me as a bishop when i want to do it and i can't say well in six months planes will be better i don't know so we have to exercise a greater faith in god. we were right. but we thank you for this day and for this time it seems in these two you brought together in loving unity we pray that as we move toward the nuptials.

communities all across this country don't know it but they're one decision away from being the next flint michigan. i think the cities in america that are willing to rebuild themselves and not simply pretend that we are the city that we used to be ironically are the cities that are going to be best positioned for growth in the future.

now it's a city that is built for twice the number of people that we actually have so we think the kind of successful city that flint can be is going is going to require to become cleaner smaller. more sustainable. but you know also not every you know ever again. become dependent on one company. we've got thousands of abandoned houses we've got more houses than we have people so rather than simply selling those properties off the speculators that's the whole idea is that we get the property into the hands of turn to turn to the neighborhood you know and where is our. phase one was we had gardens this spring i'm going to go more to southern food because i went to the farmer's market this year and the first day the crowd of p. black eyed peas purple and they sold out immediately and they really i did not have

and so i know that we have young children i had ten children here teens to fourteen twenty one teach them how to grow crops how to become a business person and how to understand how girls and maybe interested in agriculture and to me it's the social connections that the neighborhood you come to try to you know you build the community around it really i mean i know this from seeing the neighbors come out when i've been out here a lot of times neighbors would come on talk one of you got this going to it's a center for the neighborhood. wealthy british.
