Has it been recently repaved?
That was my question. If it would be fine, I couldn’t tell from some of the posts.
You would be fine if you were staying in the Inner Harbor area. The police work very hard to keep that area safe.
Right, you can’t (I didn’t mean you were ridiculous, just that anyone implying downtown is “dangerous” is). His post has nothing to do with that exact area. It is only 4 regular blocks from IH to Camden, and the south side residence area is OK anyway. North is mostly business for a while up, including that you’re hugging (literally) the Convention Center, and 2 well-heeled hotels.
Is there ever a risk? Sure, there is anywhere in Baltimore (after all, they let winos hound you anywhere - it’s “not nice” to move them along). But relatively - around IH is just fine.
Not anymore. There has been a rising wave of completely random violence against whites and Asians by roving gangs of black youths -- people getting their heads bashed in, women with baby carriages assaulted in Mount Vernon, Charles Village, Otterbien, Federal Hill -- all over the downtown. It is unlivable.
You don’t live anywhere near a high black population and don’t know what you’re talking about. The fact that blacks kill each other shows their propensity for violence culturally same as how they target whites and others that they view as targets...often justifiable targets given how their leaders tell them ad nauseum how it’s our fault they are screwed up....(many of them, maybe most if you look at stats)
This is where Obama really screws the pooch, he has their ear...he could address their behavior, hatred of whites and illegitimacy but instead he just fuels it.
I grew up in and near cities that have become barbarian sewers...New Haven, Hartford, Manchester...Lawrence. They were leftist enclaves BEFORE they became barbarianvilles. Hard to go back and see old family homes and neighborhoods totally destroyed by goverment policies that encourage barbarian behaviors.
We allow it.
Amen.
Why?
“African-Americans mayor have tunnel vision towards their own race and create their agendas based on racism.”
I beg to differ. Their viewpoint is established on percieved racial grievances thru the lens of radicalized black liberationist resentments. Thus they formulate a RACIALIST agenda with many of the most unfortunate aspects of corrupted urban statism.
The infernal sea gulls.
