[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey folks, OP here. I get people are opinionated, but I was really enjoying the honesty and good will in this thread. As I'm sure you can gather from my posts in here, we recognize there are pluses and minuses to living anywhere, and of course we are aware of the downsides of Baltimore -- otherwise we'd already live there and I would never have posted here.

But let's tone down the vitriol. People feel passionately about their hometowns, and they are going to tout their best qualities. That doesn't make them a "booster" -- it means they like where they live, and shouldn't we all? I've lived in DC for a long time and defended it a million times, to friends from NYC who think it's too small and nerdy, to friends from abroad who think it lacks style, to family back home who think it's too dangerous. I'm always going to defend DC, even if/when I don't live here anymore, because it's my home and I love it.

So let's respect other people's willingness to to do the same for Baltimore. And FWIW, knowing that residents will go to bat for their city makes it more attractive to me as a prospective transplant. Who wouldn't want to live in a city beloved by the people who know it best?[/quote]

Amen.[/quote]
