[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is it the party line that it was racist to point out that Baltimore has a rat problem? Sorry, but if you've ever been to the non-harbor area, you know it's true. I was once around the police station and there were numerous dead rats rotting on the sidewalk. In broad daylight. With people walking over them nonchalantly. [/quote]
It’s the GOP party line that he was referring to rodents when his implication was clear he meant brown humans, because he went in to say that no human would live there. So what are all the citizens of Baltimore?

Trump’s a racist and so are you.[/quote]

The Baltimore real estate market as a whole indicates that it is not a particularly desirable area.  There is much more urban blight than say, Potomac MD.  That is an objective fact.

That you infer racism says more about your perceptions than anything else.

The interesting thing is about 15 years back, the LGBT community was buying up blocks of Baltimore because the real estate values were so depressed with the hope of turning it around like they have with other areas.[/quote]

,Sorry I meant to say from a pricing standpoint, the Baltimore real estate market indicates that is not a particularly desirable area.  The average home price is quite low compared to affluent counties elsewhere in the state.[/quote]

Jared Kushner sure liked the low-income housing market there.

[quote]East of the city, I met Chris Freimiller, a 38-year-old resident of the company’s Morningside Park complex, who was smoking Newports in his car before heading to work at a Rite Aid distribution center. Freimiller complained to me about the persistent leaks from the toilet and the ceiling damage it had caused, and about being hit repeatedly with late fees. He told me he voted for president for the first time ever last year — for Donald Trump. His vote, he said, was motivated by “the racial and police issues. How bad it got with Obama and how he seemed to promote the cop-bashing and the racial divide.” Did knowing that he was sending his late fees to Trump’s son-in-law change anything? “Yeah, actually,” he said. “As if they need any more money.”

At the Carroll Park complex, I met Mike McHargue, a private investigator, and his girlfriend, Patricia Howell. “They’re nothing but slumlords,” Howell told me of Westminster Management. “They take everyone’s money.” When I asked if they knew who was behind the company, they said they did not. “Oh, really?” Howell said when I mentioned Kushner’s name. “Oh, really. And I’m a Trump supporter.”[/quote]   https://www.propublica.org/article/the-beleaguered-tenants-of-kushnerville[/quote]
