In Harden's video below, he explains why Flint was the worst city in the United States from 2010-2020. If you remember, crime was at an all-time high during that time period. Flint had the highest murder rate in the country for three straight years. On every national list highlighting crime and murder in the country, Flint was always at the top.

The video also touches on the Flint Water Crisis, Flint's dangerous northside, the city's population decline, and the many reasons why Flint is in the shape that it's in.
