[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “Baltimore is a crime ridden hellhole” crowd is annoying. OP wants to live in a city, not a suburb. How many $325,000 3br rowhomes that look like this are in neighborhoods with less crime than Hampden? How are the schools in these DC neighborhoods with these $325,000 rowhomes?

Here’s what $350,000 will get you in Locust Point. You can walk a couple blocks to a ferry that takes you to Fells Point and Canton from here. Locust Point is one of the safest neighborhoods in Baltimore.

Here’s what $350,000 gets you for a 3br rowhome in DC. Would the Baltimore haters in this thread rather live here than the homes above? What is the crime like in the Washington Highlands neighborhood?

There's a reason they're $325k

Baltimorons think Baltimore is a magical fairytale land of cheap and good RE.

The market speaks for itself.  If it were so wonderful then all go these properties would be $600,700k, or even 1M just like they are in DC or Boston.  But they're not.

People can type paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs all they want. But when it comes down to it, the invisible hand wins and speaks volumes about the city.

Baltimore isn't desirable.  Why?  Crime, poverty, terrible govt, terrible infrastructure, and some of the worst schools in the country.  How many students in high school were testing 0% proficiency in basic math at one point?

Notice how many conditionals Baltimore excusers have to add to make Baltimore a livable choice.  Baltimore is good IF: you buy in the white L, send your kids to $20/30k per year private schools, etc etc.

Basically, the hypocrisy is insane. Baltimore is nice if you live within an extreme segregated bubble from all of the undesirables (racist dog whistle).  Everyone is so progressive on DCUM until they actually try to justify living in a city with 300+ murders....all of the sudden no one wants to integrate, proposes to live in wealthy white enclaves with extreme wealth disparity compared to other parts of the city in areas built on redlining, and proposes to send kids to $30k per year schools to keep them away from all the undesirables' kids in schools.  It's total hypocrisy.  [/quote]

Oh, find somewhere else to spit your bile. We get it, you hate Baltimore. I can’t imagine what you’re trying to accomplish here. You have a very, very narrow and cramped perspective.  And it’s absolutely bizarre to see you try to claim that it’s racist to live in a low-crime area of a majority-minority city, and that therefore nobody should move to that city at all.

Seriously, please go find another hobby. [/quote]
