On the other hand, if everybody talks investors like the OP out of investing or moving to Flint, how will it ever improve? Somebody has to be the first one to start the whole process of gentrification.

I also wonder what is being done on a state or federal level to revitalize cities like Flint. For example, give tax breaks and subsidize rents to companies like Starbucks to open up establishments all over Flint. Hipsters would flock Flint and it would gentrify in no time.

Yeah, things are pretty bleak here. It would help greatly if people would quit discouraging investment in the area. I really don't understand the "it's poorly located" talking point. We're literally at the intersection of 75/23/and 69, and the airport is right there. We are not far from Detroit, the tri-cities area, and Lansing/Grand Rapids.
