[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Baltimore! I lived in Guilford. Gorgeous old houses, quiet streets, but walking distance to stores in Charles Village and a traffic free ten minutes downtown or twenty minutes to suburban shopping. Bmore is cheaper and easier than DC because it's less congested. I'd move back if we had jobs there! [/quote]

That's the key -- jobs.

And it's not just a matter of getting a job, but also it's about having some sort of confidence that if you lose that job, there is some kind of job market there in which to find another.  That wasn't my experience.

I recently helped someone who was facing a layoff, and all of the job opportunities were in the DC area.  It's ridiculous in a way, because the area is so congested.  Meanwhile, companies are hesitant to locate in Baltimore because of the crime/dysfunction of city government.

Hunt Valley (a wealthier suburb north of Baltimore) does have a little IT corridor. But it's nothing near the IT corridor in NOVA.[/quote]
