I worked there for 3 years at bg&e in their facility (not the nice constellation energy in the harbor) and it really is hell.

We could barely leave our fenced in compound for lunch. We would “make the run” if desperate to 7-11 then get back to the building. I was only robbed once, 2 coworkers were seriously beaten.
There was an unofficial policy to not leave our compound when I left after the riots.

Agree completely. The last time we took our kids to the Inner Harbor, I was approached by a clearly strung out woman - with a toddler in a stroller. She asked me for money and I said ok, but to please buy her child something to eat. I’m sure she did not use the money to buy food. Very, very sad.

That’s anywhere though. I live in a small midwestern town and we can’t even go to the Dollar Tree or Rural King without being hit up by tweakers.

true any place with poor folks it happens.

yeah but it's different when they're white, amiright?

Let me guess: you're a liberal. (Interjecting race was the big clue.)

That there tells you that Baltimore is a city with heart.

And a city with John Waters. Gotta love that.

Same. I love Baltimore. We live in DC (only 10 minutes from our offices), but really love Baltimore. We are there 6-8x per year for cultural events, catching a game, or just having a nice day eating & drinking in Fells.

You know what Baltimore has? History. An identity. Personality galore. Walking through the old row house neighborhoods, you feel like you've gone back 200+ years in history. The entire city is a living museum to America.

Anyways, Trump and his supporters would never know that. They are too snooty and elitist to ever set foot in Baltimore.

DP here but I don't typically stroll through the more dangerous neighborhoods of any city I visit. Not DC. Not Paris. Not Chicago. Not LA.

However, I do visit Johns Hopkins medical center quite often. Thank goodness it's so close. What a treasure to have such a world class institution so close.

Heh. “Few wield expletives as vigorously as Simon. Mere profanity is crass, but alongside elevated vocabulary it can come across as artful, and there is arguably no one else as adept at mixing words like “scrote” and “taint” with discussions about “systemic, national affronts to American urbanity.”

I’ve actually been to Baltimore quite a bit. To the kids museums, the Inner Harbor, concerts.

I applied for a job there and was told by my Baltimore dwelling co-worker (who travels OUT of Baltimore to work), to NOT accept the job. She said the neighborhood was that bad. Even for her.

One time we took the kids to the Thomas the Train ride with some (very liberal) friends. We decided to walk around to find something to eat. After about 5 minutes of walking it became very clear we were not in a good area. Even my friends were like “let’s walk faster, people!”

So no, I’m not too elite to visit Baltimore. But you (clearly) couldn’t pay me to work there. Or live there, for that matter.

And is your response to this to say: let's now make life even worse for the people who were born here and can't leave? Or is your response to say: What can we do to make things better so even kids born in someplace that I feel unsafe in, will have clean air and water, a good education, a safe place to life, and real opportunities in their lives.

Do you call them subhumans, rats, cockroaches, who deserve your scorn and contempt? Or do you say - these are people who we should try to help?

teachers are mostly average results are a direct results of the talent of the students entering the building

again most of these high poverty areas (urban and rural) the parents don't know how to parent so kids are entering traumatized and multiple grade levels behind

more needs to be done to encourage these parents not to have kids period

yes but let's also ban abortion and restrict birth control access, and gd forbid we raise the minimum wage or put $ into poor schools so they have more resources!

murica!

Abortions and birth control are great as long as they are used. I am a bug supporter if abortions and would happily incentivize women to abort a child they cNt raise on their own. $500 should do it. And I would not limit eligibility.

My response is that unless we change the culture of these communities - pregnancy at 14 is not a goal, living off the government dole is not a lifestyle, gangs are BAD, not GOOD, and education is of utmost importance, to name a few - we cannot even begin to help them. But as I said earlier, I have no clue how to do this.

DP here but I don't typically stroll through the more dangerous neighborhoods of any city I visit. Not DC. Not Paris. Not Chicago. Not LA.

However, I do visit Johns Hopkins medical center quite often. Thank goodness it's so close. What a treasure to have such a world class institution so close.

That’s why Johns Hopkins is spreading outside of Baltimore into the Washington market. They cannot sustain it with Medicaid patients and treating wealthy foreigners especially from the Middle East. Last year they had to set up they’re own armed police force to protect patients and employees.
