Hoping to rediscover and help a place that once boasted one of the world's highest per capita income levels, but is now one of the country's most impoverished and dangerous cities, he returned to Flint with the intention of buying a house. What he found was a place of stark contrasts and dramatic stories, where an exotic dancer can afford a lavish mansion, speculators scoop up cheap houses by the dozen on eBay, and arson is often the quickest route to neighborhood beautification. Skillfully blending personal memoir, historical inquiry, and interviews with Flint residents, Young constructs a vibrant tale of a once-thriving city still fighting-despite overwhelming odds-to rise from the ashes. He befriends a rag-tag collection of urban homesteaders and die-hard locals who refuse to give up as they try to transform Flint into a smaller, greener town that offers lessons for cities all over the world. Hard-hitting, insightful, and often painfully funny, Teardown reminds us that cities are ultimately defined by people, not politics or economics. 606 $aPlant shutdowns$zMichigan$zFlint 606 $aUrban renewal$zMichigan$zFlint 607 $aFlint (Mich.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aFlint (Mich.)$xEconomic conditions 610 $aabandoned houses. 610 $abiography. 610 $abiology. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acareer. 610 $acheap houses. 610 $acities. 610 $acity life. 610 $acity living. 610 $acrowded cities. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $adangerous cities. 610 $adefiant homeowners. 610 $adetroit. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aflint. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahousing. 610 $ainterviews. 610 $amichigan authors. 610 $amichigan. 610 $amoney. 610 $aoral history. 610 $apage turner. 610 $apersonal memoir. 610 $apersonal quest. 610 $apreservation. 610 $arealistic. 610 $arust belt. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asociological science. 610 $asociology. 610 $aurban america. 610 $aurban homesteaders. 610 $aurban planning. 610 $aurban. 610 $aurbanism. 610 $awealth. 615 0$aPlant shutdowns 615 0$aUrban renewal 676 $a307.3/4160977437 700 $aYoung$b Gordon$f1966-$01501464 701 $aYoung$b Gordon$f1966-$01501464 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786711703321 996 $aTeardown$93728592 997 $aUNINA
