Flint as Cultural Reference Point

Why is Flint always used as the worst-case scenario when people write about their own cities? Here's Paul Wilham writing about Cincinnati on his Victorian Antiquities and Design blog:
"We are at the tipping point and either those who love old houses, believe in neighborhoods and want this city to 'be something' need to get involved and push the city council and this mayor to get off their 'lazy' and develop a long range plan to develop this city's historic Tourism potential or we will be another rust belt 'has been' city like Detroit or Flint Michigan."
