Baltimore political leadership is just about 100% Dem and black. And these pols just fight over the ever-diminishing spoils of ruling a dying city. Yes, a dying city, and I dont think its ever coming back, because I dont see how it can possibly be turned around. There are gentrified pockets, but the high crime areas surround them, and crime doesnt respect boundaries between gentrified areas and the hood. The schools are a disaster, despite the many millions poured into them (where does it all go?). Porperty taxes are extrememly high. Okay for young singles to enjoy the hipster life, but no place to raise a family. My niece and her husband moved into the city less than two years ago, Federal Hill. They are already sick of it and looking to move out.

Excellent point to talk about. Which political party has run Baltimore for generations? If we are going to say that somehow politics has destroyed these inner city areas, it’s then an issue ,as to which political party governs such areas?

Don't you understand? The problems exist because the federal government has not given them enough money! /sarcasm

“Little Italy” was a very safe place to live.

It was. And is to a certain extent. But travel a couple blocks east or north and you are in the war zone.

That photo is just a tiny part of the decay in Baltimore.

Baltimore Mayor: ‘Gave Those Who Wished to Destroy Space to Do That’

I’m going to use a quote from Cool Hand Luke.

Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

In other words, this how AfroAmericans want this, as evidenced by the mayor’s actions/inactions. No change. Even when they are in charge, nothing changes. Yet Whitey is to be held accountable.

“While I don’t know our test scores from back then, we were one of the better schools. Today, it has 1% white students and can score barely a 25% proficiency. Thank you, liberals.”

Sounds very diverse and vibrant!

You would enjoy this...

Baltimore gets a disproportionate amount of handouts because it’s close to DC...

That clip should be top of its own thread, IMO.

Plus, let’s hear more, lots more, about the lovely Kimberly Klacik.

At last Bernie says something we agree on. My late mother’s comment on what happened to where she grew up in DC was ‘The (word censored) ruin everything they touch.’

This was a smart move on Bernie’s part...waaaaay too subtle for the democrat party to have come up with...

A city run by Democrats for the last forever years just like other failed cities. Really what have you got to lose in supporting Trump worse abjective poverty?
