It's based on the availability of data from DigitalGlobe and whether the
company has tasked the satellite to take pictures of that location. I'm sure if
you paid to task the satellite to photograph Flint MI they'd be happy to task
their satellite for a fee. And as a result through Google's exclusivity you
would start seeing better resolution there.
It's also possible they did task the satellite but the imagery had too much
cloud cover.
You'd never guess 1m/pixel USGS imagery of the whole US was available for
free.
There's basically no way a color blur, even taken yesterday, is better
than decent res mono imagery even up to 13 years old.
