    I'm from Baltimore and I can say this, they may look like bad areas, but not all of the people are bad. When my grandmother went missing, the ONLY people who would help us while we were out looking were the people from O'Donnell Heights who had seen her walking around and would talk to her.
    They even referred to her as grandma and knew she got confused. Unfortunately, she was found dead not far from home in a backyard. I agree with everyone to be careful, but that goes for the westside, white marsh, dundalk etc.. As long as you're not in their business and not drawing any suspicion to yourself you'll be ok.

      I think driving a car through the city is not bringing trouble to yourself. Ask the people who have been carjacked or assaulted by squeezie boys, robbed or shot for nothing. I lived there for over 20 years. It is a dangerous city which has gotten more dangerous. Let cut through the bullshit. It is not like White Marsh or the other places you named. It is a shithole and I am glad I could afford to leave. I have a condo there by Walthers Avenue and Northern Parkway. It is a decent area. I do not want to live there so I rent it out. No thanks Baltimore!

      The houses are actually very old and delapidated. Yes, on the outside they are brick and have good bones but you know the public housing authority isn't repairing anything. Would you like to live in a tiny hundred year old row house that is falling apart and has zero soundproofing so you can hear everything your neighbours are doing? No wonder these people brave the cold instead.

A bit of paint and maybe some plants or even pick up some trash is a good start. Banks don't care about where you live or what the renovations are for they just want to have faith they will get the loan back eventually.

    Born and raised in East Baltimore. There used to be a lot of nice, safe neighborhoods in the city and excellent public schools. High crime rates were pretty much limited to only certain parts of town. But now the entire city is being turned into a no-go zone. There is almost no place left in or around Baltimore City where you can escape the madness. No one has the guts to elect people to office who could turn the city around. A formerly beautiful waterfront city, left in ruins because we keep electing incompetent people to run it. It's a shame.

      Um, america firsters want to solve these problems but the lying lefties just make them out as “r@c!sts and every-phobic”. Let the blue cities just keeping voting for dem0crats who ste@l the tax money to enrich themselves as usual. RINO’s are just as bad because they are the same thing. America needs angry, passionate grown-ups who are willing to first stamp out the c0rruption in politics, and then brutally oppose street gangs who rot neighborhoods from within. When out natural energy is opened up to drilling we will be a financial powerhouse and with no-nonsense crimefighters cleaning up the worst parts of town, industry and commerce will flourish as it always should have. It is the dems who profit from keeping these cities nightmares, and then blame people who love america for their “historical meanness.” Haha, in other words; all the bad guys control everything, all the good guys are criminalized and slandered by the bad guys, and everybody in between is too lazy, ignorant, or cowardly to pick the side that wants to actually improve the quality of life for ALL americans by MAKING AMERICA GR8! Basically evil prevailed because good men chose willingly to do nothing.

    Born and raised here, and still live here. Baltimore has so much beauty and history, and is much more than what is being shown. Our city is broken down by neighborhoods. You can drive through a shitty area one minute, and then be around some absolutely beautiful neighborhoods. We’re divided by zones and for every “ bad one,” there is another beautiful one a few streets away. Yes drugs, crime, and violence exist, but that’s in every metropolitan area. We are a highly densely populated small city, so everyone is trying to do them and survive. Be safe out there.

      Times, attitudes and morales have changed, that’s my take on it. Baltimore isn’t unlike other large cities these days. And it doesn’t matter what color you are or ethnic group. My personal opinion is it all begins at home. The breakdown of the family makes kids helpless and hopeless. But it’s something that CAN be fixed. People just don’t want to hear it. They’d rather blame it elsewhere. I’m so glad I remember Baltimore back then. It was great.

    Back before all the major industries (and jobs they provided) disappeared from the Baltimore area, even the neighborhoods shown in this video were decent and clean. People had the means to care for their neighborhoods when everyone was working. I know because I was born in Baltimore in 1950 and remember riding through the inner city areas on bus or streetcar trips downtown from where we lived on the west side. I always took note of the blocks of rowhouses passing by because I developed a love for the city's rowhouse architecture at an early age. It would cost a fortune today to replace one of these substantial blocks of solid brick homes with the same craftsmanship and materials that originally went into their construction. Even in an abandoned and neglected state, the walls are still solid and usually don't even have any settlement cracks or sagging building lines.

I was picturing a family connection, stop by someone’s house kind of deal, but my friend failed to mention his brother is old school and you basically have to just ride around town and find his squad. Like the man doesn’t even use a phone for business. We eventually make the deal and a child who had to be under the age of 10 ran it to the car. That’s when I thought, “what the fuck am I doing here”. I thought SE DC was bad, and I’ve lived in Oakland too but I’ve never felt more vulnerable and exposed than in Baltimore.

      In many colonial cities and towns your property tax was based on the amount of street frontage you had. So many row houses were built very narrow and very high. In lots of cases they also extended their basement underneath the sidewalk frontage to gain extra room. Corner properties became bars and stores, because their incomes could support the higher tax assessments.
