Stay near federal hill or in Baltimore county.

❤ my city but, the water bills are crazy. And, the streets suck.

Born and raised in Baltimore. Thank you for your video. So many different clouded and judgemental responses to this video. No city is perfect. But people saying how bad it is, move. If youve been here for 30 years and its so bad, leave. Don't share your bias negativity with people who want to move here. If you were only here 3 years, you know nothing. Everything in this video is absolutely true and very well said.

Having grown up in SE D.C and PG County and having family in Baltimore, I find this extremely honest assessment of Baltimore

I lived in that wretched place for 3, long, and miserable years. When I left that awful area, I never looked back.

We went to the inner harbor yesterday. The last time I was there was a decade ago. The one thing I noticed is that how ridiculous everything cost I mean I felt like I was being robbed for a bare minimum everything

Yo thank you man Ive been trying to find some good videos on Baltimore and just found your channel! Love it

Welcome my friend. Always here to help.

Any Baltimore Peninsula, videos about the Construction in the Top Gulf Area coming, Harbor Place, Camden Yards and M&T?

As someone that is from here and lives here, avoid Baltimore at all cost. Great video that touches on a lot of great topics. Here is the missing information and the biggest con (no pun intended). Baltimore City has been one of, if not the most politically corrupt city's for decades. Having been here for 3 decades I can say it's safe to assume that will never change. Our current mayors way of handling crime is "to write letters to criminals" stating that "we know you're doing this, please stop". I wish I was kidding. Crime goes completely unpunished here, I mean honestly, if you're able to rob and steal with no punishment would you ever stop? In addition, more tax hikes are coming. Doubling of vehicle registration costs. They're already taking bids to rebuild the key bridge. Do you think they're looking for the best quality at the best price? No. They're looking at what company they can go with that can embezzle the most money into these politicians back pockets. These politicians get caught dead to rights participating in crime and they almost always walk free with a slap on the wrist. The downtown area is struggling immensely. Businesses closing their doors day after day. I read that they just had money infused to help build new business and revitalize the downtown. Do you really think those businesses will flourish with the crime forcing the people that have money to spend out of the city? Its a complete lost cause. I too love our sports teams. I remember the days of going to Orioles games and going to eat on the waterfront, adding to the economy here. If I venture to a game now I get in and out in a hurry. Not a dollar spent to help Baltimore. I took my dad who's older to an Orioles game a few weeks ago, he doesn't get out much. During the game, they cut his catalytic converter off his car. Can't make this stuff up. John's Hopkins? In the middle of a war zone. Doctors getting robbed on the way to their cars. To cap it all off, the corrupt politicians cut the health care and pensions from our first responders. They already get paid terrible, there's no healthcare for them to provide for their family. So where does that leave us? No exaggeration, short HUNDREDS of police and emt's. There is nobody here to even help you. That catalytic converter, we went to file a police report. Waited 4 hours for the police to show up and nobody even came. This city is a complete lost cause and it hurts to say it.

OP is right our Mayor is clueless as heck.... He pays the school chancellor half of a million dollars and she is graduating students that dropped off the system for over 24 months. Some places are okay.

Facts!

I see this video was made 2 months ago, recently on the news they had a report that said that Baltimore is the 2nd fastest city in the country with reducing it's gun violence. I think last year was the first in a while that Baltimore had less than 300 murders and this year is at a much lower pace. I just thought I should mention this. I wish I had the source, but it was within the last week on one of the local news channels

Hopefully we can get the property taxes lowered this year.

Ia Balimore really a "growing city"? I thought the population has been shrinking for 40+ years

Baltimore had almost 1 million people in 1950. Today it has 523 thousand. So yes, you are correct.

Born and raised here it sucks

Columbia, Greenbelt, Cockeysville, College Park or Hyattsville near University of MD, Glen Burnie, Bethesda etc. There are others outside of Downtown Baltimore. Look online for the crime rate and property taxes tell you if it's a good place. High crime rates and low property taxes -bad area.

CON: Maryland has both the Estate and Inheritance Tax (Death Tax)

You forgot to mention how horrible the roads are here. Streets, Hightways, Avenues, Boulevards etc…. ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!

I’m all ears, fill us in on what was missed besides the quality of the roads?

Don’t move here,those who live here and have grown up here are trying our best to get out of here

Its funny how people complain about all the problems Baltimore has & when you look at the rest of the country there are similar problems if not worse lol it has to be a trend to hate on Baltimore.

A trend? Explain why that “trend” has existed for 40+ yrs. I’m a Bmore native, and swill say with absolute confidence that this city sucks! Corrupt leadership, a failing public school system, high crime, consistent over taxing, rats, trash, garbage roads, etc. Tell me where it’s so much worse that’s not a third world country. The only reason to move here is for healthcare, tech industry, & government work because otherwise, you can’t afford to live here.

Smh

Who wants to live in a shitbox.
