[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White flight killed Baltimore. I’ve been to a lot of mid Atlantic cities and it’s the most extraordinarily segregated. Whites took off to Baltimore and Howard Counties and let the city die.[/quote] (Whites leave) White flight! Racism! Bad! (Whites stay) Gentrification! Racism! Bad![/quote] Gentrification is not necessarily bad IMO, if its done with SOME respect by new people for the existing residents, and if rapid displacement can be avoided. Given the amount of vacant housing and land in Baltimore, I don't think the latter is a huge problem. BTW I wonder how well you actually know Baltimore? A lot of gentrification there has taken place in what had been working class white neighborhoods.[/quote] Very true, Canton, Locust Point, Hampden all formerly where the white dock and factory workers lived.[/quote]
