Agree. I have lived here for seven years and it really isn’t that bad. It is very easy to insulate yourself.

That there tells you that Baltimore is a city with heart.

And a city with John Waters. Gotta love that.

Same. I love Baltimore. We live in DC (only 10 minutes from our offices), but really love Baltimore. We are there 6-8x per year for cultural events, catching a game, or just having a nice day eating & drinking in Fells.

You know what Baltimore has? History. An identity. Personality galore. Walking through the old row house neighborhoods, you feel like you've gone back 200+ years in history. The entire city is a living museum to America.

Anyways, Trump and his supporters would never know that. They are too snooty and elitist to ever set foot in Baltimore.

Do you stroll through the more dangerous neighborhoods? Just curious

Yes, I've done it a number of times. I've been fine, but I know other people have not been so lucky.

That said, I don't make it a point of strolling through dangerous neighborhoods in Kentucky, London, Lagos, Brooklyn, Indiana, Chicago, Texas or even my current home of DC.

Aren’t you glad you weren’t born to a family in those places? Some people don’t have the luxury of deciding not to stroll through.

Some decent ideas in there but ultimately a good deal of this is personal responsibility. It is not the job of the government to take care of you. That goes for urban areas and rural areas. Democrats have been spending billions in these areas for generations with very little to show for it. Before we add more programs we need to make sure they will actually work first.

And we have what to show for the trillions in corporate welfare and excessive military spending?

At least the money invested in the underclass benefit the braoder economy by circulating dollars through the system, rather than being horded at the top.

Who do you think owns the entities in which these dollars are invested? Look at who builds public housing, treats Medicaid patients, owns dialysis centers, liquor stores, and corner stores. The money does not travel through the system but upward to the wealthy.

Um yes it is a Balitmore problem. Crime has gone up, poverty has gone up, drugs have gone up, the government is corrupt, but ultimately it comes down to people. Do they want a better life for themselves. Then start making constructive choices.

Is this your advice to opioid addicted Appalachia?

But the problem is most aren’t just speaking out against wrongdoing. I’m all for voicing your opinion. What I am not for is immediately labeling Trump voters as racists. If you don’t see the problem with that I guess there is no discussion to be had.

It's not our fault you don't see the racism, and worse, accept and support it.

DP here but I don't typically stroll through the more dangerous neighborhoods of any city I visit. Not DC. Not Paris. Not Chicago. Not LA.

However, I do visit Johns Hopkins medical center quite often. Thank goodness it's so close. What a treasure to have such a world class institution so close.

That’s why Johns Hopkins is spreading outside of Baltimore into the Washington market. They cannot sustain it with Medicaid patients and treating wealthy foreigners especially from the Middle East. Last year they had to set up they’re own armed police force to protect patients and employees.
