My parents still live in Flint in the house we grew up in. They complained, just before the lead problem was discovered, about their short term memory was slipping. They thought it was just their old age. Fortunately they move to NC during the winter months. We are hoping that they don't go back to Flint in the spring.
Flint was a great town when I was growing up. It is all a dang shame.

Fortunately when I lived in the Flint area I had well water. It was light brown in color, and tasted like a rusty nail. But no lead to speak of.
A lot of those communities draw their drinking water out of Lake Huron and it is really excellent.

the house [ in flint ] that my dad paid 10 K for in 1952....was....at last look for sale for around FIve..thousand dollars.
I did a search on the address...to see what the neighborhood looked like and it really broke my heart.
Who knew anyone was installing lead pipes in the past several decades?
