[quote=Anonymous]No one is going to deny that Baltimore isn't a problematic city. At the same time it's not as problematic as some of you want to think. Parts of the city are very nice, very livable, and can offer a pretty high quality lifestyle and the residents do love it. They are not living in a crime ridden post apocalyptic war zone. There are very large swathes of Baltimore that are indeed deeply problematic but it doesn't negate the nice parts of town. Some people are comfortable with the bipolar nature of Baltimore, others are not.

I don’t think Baltimore has a rosy future and that the status quo will largely persist for the foreseeable future. You'll see more gentrification in the central corridor, Remington and lower Charles Village seem to be the next gentrification area. But persistently dysfunctional politics and schools and urban populations will mean the larger city will remain deeply problematic. But it's not the end of the world, either. Most people in the central corridor don't go to East or West Baltimore. It is just what it is. The people who chose to live in the city accept it and they don't need or want to be criticized or judged or have crime stats screeched at them, especially if the crime stats are largely meaningless to them.
