Mayor Don Williamson announced Tuesday the city's glut of abandoned vehicles will help reopen the city jail and hire more police officers.
Williamson said the city is getting closer to hiring a new towing company that would haul the vehicles to a police department impound lot where the city would collect storage fees or proceeds from sales. He said there are between 8,000 and 12,000 such vehicles in the city.
"In a short time, there will not be any abandoned cars on the city streets in the city of Flint or on private property," Williamson said.
After the announcement, city officials said more details, such as the location of the impound lot, would be announced later. In an October, Williamson named Oak Business Center and the city's 12th Street Yard as possible sites.

hey Ted, the ominous thing I picked up on was "abandoned vehicles on private property"..........well its one thing to identify & haul away abandoned vehicles off streets, vacant lots, parking lots etc.
but watch out, your 2005 GMC shows up missing one day from YOUR driveway and you find out its been impounded!! [gosh could they have mis-identified your car since you were away on vacation for a week or two]
Well says the donald, "well let me say this here....there wasn't NOBODY in it at the time we's impounded it...so we's figgered it was abandoned. Plus my man Chuckie made sure the license plate was missing before we's impounded it."
The new impound lot?
Just west of Linden on Corunna Road..Patsy Lou has a veritable vista of wide open, parking lot with very few cars on it.
Anybody notice just how FEW cars are actually on that dealer lot anymore? They run an old trick...spread the vehicles out all along the perimeter....with nary a vehicle behind them but it looks like a lot there, even better if the vehicles are tall SUVs Trucks that you can't see over/through. Just a hollow shell of vehicles.
I can recall some years back when those lots were FULLLLLLLLLLL of vehicles all along both Linden and Corunna. Now there is hardly a vehicle to be seen south along the Linden perimeter.
I'd say the donald has the perfect impound lot. Watch for the City of Flint Used Car Lot to start up right there. You can buy your impounded car back and help Patsy Lou's maintain their high sales ranking in the bargain!
Get your nails done and a rinse and set while they put your license plate back on for you....no charge!
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!! A win win situation for Flint! |

the thing that kills me. Is that these "Abandoned" Vehicles are violating the same ordinance the the Mayor is Violating by having a junk car holding area. Same aspect of the ordinance.
Check it out for yourselves.

It's a bit of boring reading. But once you figure out the defination of the zoning codes (A, B, C, F, E, etc) and what you can or cannot do in each Zone. A sixth grader could understand the difference. |
