I feel like every dc resident has done this exact exercise and every time I’m like wait what am I doing it’s Baltimore. And then I go to r/Baltimore to see if I’m making the right decision and the whole front page is crime and businesses closing. We have that in dc for sure but no where near the level. And the path for Baltimore to revitalize is so much harder to happen than dc

I went to college in the Baltimore area, and I spent a lot of time in the city when I was younger. And sure, there were areas you absolutely avoided, but that's sort of like DC today. So I don't know if the crime is actually that bad there, if it's actually that bad here, or if I'm just getting old.
