[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:28 again. I thought of one other thing to note: based on the Nextdoor activity for the north Baltimore neighborhoods, there is definitely a small, but vocal, contingent who talk as if their neighborhoods are under siege because unlocked cars regularly get rifled through and unsecured bicycles get stolen.  Having lived all over D.C. and now in north Baltimore for years, I don't think there is any appreciable difference between NW DC and north Baltimore in terms of crime.  As PPs have pointed out, any difference in crime stats for the two cities is attributable to the truly depressed areas of Baltimore.

Baltimore is not Mayberry, but, as in any city, common sense is your best defense against crime. We always lock our cars. We don't leave valuables in cars or out in the yard. We have an alarm system and deadbolts on the doors, and we use them. [/quote]

The difference is that nw D.C. is geographically segregated from the most crime ridden areas in D.C.  In Baltimore, the best neighborhoods are immediately adjacent to the worse.  Are there car jackings, abductions and shootings in Cleveland Park?[/quote]
