Are you from Baltimore? Anyone with common sense knows not to go to certain parts of this city. Being one of the most dangerous cities in America, if not the world, isn’t just some silly novelty.

What are some areas that people with very little knowledge of Baltimore stay cautious of?

This question doesn’t make sense. If they have very little knowledge of Baltimore, they wouldn’t know.

If you’re asking what areas they should be worried about, I would say anything more than a few blocks west of the inner harbor & north of the inner harbor. I would say don’t go further west than Camden Yards. If you’re on the west side of Martin Luther King Blvd, turn back immediately. As you head further north, anything on the left of the 83 is a not good. Stick to Locust Point, Federal Hill, Fells Point and Canton. Even those last two are becoming more and more dangerous.

Yeah, I really fudged up trying to write that. Thanks for understanding and providing your input of the area.

Baltimore has some really lovely areas, yet it is still one of the most dangerous cities in America. This is because the bad parts are that fucking bad. People die nearly every day and the police had shown time and time again that they won’t bend over backwards to make any changes.

Yes. But not everyone is.

So, what was the intent of your comment? Sometimes posts looking for help and some empathy and you thought your reply was helpful? You thought it was empathetic? You thought it was kind?

No. You were being a superior douche on the Internet.

Do better next time. Just because you thought it, doesn’t mean it needs to come out of your mouth or fingers.

You sound like someone who’s had the luxury of having a home all their life. Living on the street, it is a world of harsh realities. If someone doesn’t say straight up, learn where the fuck you are, especially if homeless, you are just going to get yourself into a world of hurt.

So, you ask me of my intent? My intent is a wake up call. Baltimore is an extremely dangerous city. It’s not coddling, it’s saying be careful, because the only one looking out for you is yourself.

My advice, as I mentioned, move down to Columbia, is more beneficial to them than any of your white knighting bullshit. So either give OP some advice, give them some stuff or piss off.
