It's [u]dishonest[/u] to look at death rates which include overdoses, accidents, and suicides? Overdoses, accidents, and suicides don't contribute to the apocalypse, [b]just homicide does?[/b]

But ok, here are the age-adjusted homicide rates.

Mississippi: 23.7 per 100,000 people
Louisiana: 21.3 
Alabama: 15.9
New Mexico: 14.3
South Carolina: 13.4
Missouri: 12.4
Illinois: 12.3
Maryland: 12.2
Tennessee: 12.2
Arkansas: 11.7
Georgia: 11.4[/quote]

^^^And, of course, auto theft. Auto theft, the main indicator of the apocalypse! The four horsemen aren't bothering with horses anymore, they use stolen cars![/quote]

When people can no longer afford to register their vehicles in the city due to skyrocketing insurance premiums, [b]see how well that goes for the working class who struggle every day to make ends meet.[/b] It is the apocalypse for every regular person as they’ll get more financially crushed. [/quote]

Speaking of struggling, 30% of households in Baltimore do not have a personal vehicle available for use. The apocalypse for many regular people is buses that don't come when you need them, or that don't go where you need to go.[/quote]

Part of 30% not owning IS because of outrageous insurance premiums already.  And they’ll get worse now.  And yea, they’ll be screwed because there are no good transportation alternatives available.[/quote]

Insurance premiums, costs of buying a vehicle, costs of operating and maintaining a vehicle...

And there is no future tense about it. People in Baltimore need good public transportation now. Including the Baltimore Red Line, which Hogan killed, and then redistributed the money from Baltimore to road projects in rural counties with lots of Hogan voters.[/quote]
Baltimore should stay in Baltimore [/quote]
