This is awesome! Anyone know if it’s possible to buy prints?

Problem with duty to retreat is it places some of the responsibility for the situation on the victim, despite the victim doing nothing to create the situation in the first place.

haha no way that's hilariously low effort

I live by University of Maryland, which is like 5-10 min walk to Camden station. Probably just live close to Camden or Penn if you care about walking distance, or close to the Metro (which goes to Camden)

Great idea, I'll go check it out. What's considered the "worst" area in Baltimore? I know it's easy to focus on tourist-y areas as nice, and obviously there are some not-so-nice areas. Would be good to show everything. I used to live in Seattle and I'd be surprised if the "boots on the ground" here was substantially worse than in Seattle. Downtown Seattle is lawless, also open-air drug market and with shootings rapes in broad daylight and people defecating in the middle of the sidewalk. But Baltimore has a much worse reputation than Seattle.

>skills

thank you!

>Improved public transportation infrastructure and improved public school performance would have immense effects for the city. Every young couple I've known that has moved out of the city wanted to stay for the lifestyle but felt they had to because of schools, and the larger an area people are able to travel in a given amount of time means a larger area people are able to look for jobs, and a better chance of increasing their income.

Wow thank you so much for the ideas! This is really great, I'm going to start trying to implement some of those types of videos.

Wow that's great!! Thanks!

yep, same as every other large city. Be smart, keep your head on a swivel. Best part is you don't even have to drive, you can take trains to all those places!

>and to your point, when the media only shares the one side of violence and crime, it seems people think of the city as a hopeless cause.

I think you summed up the problem I'm trying to describe. Media only shows one side of Baltimore. Other cities like New York, DC, Chicago, etc. have reports on both violence and fun/exciting things. Baltimore seems to get mostly negative or nothng from the national press.

Yeah the problem is multifaceted and complicated. I don't know where to begin to solve the whole thing. I'm hoping to just focus on one contradiction I've observed: the rest of the US sees us as a war-zone, and after living in the city for over a year, I think it is anything but. About 5 years ago, my cousin who worked in HR visited Baltimore on a business trip. She stayed in Inner Harbor, and the company told her not to leave the hotel. I know multiple people who say they're afraid to visit here. I just think it's sad. It's true the murder rate is bad, and something really needs to be done about that because it's a black eye on the city.

Keeping assholes out = good

perception as warzone = bad

Right? Or is it worth the negative perception because the city stays affordable, lively and interesting? I think there must be some middle ground to be had

Walters art Museum is free and the one at johns hopkins University is as well (I think) farmers market in fells or. Check out the cathedral the George washington monument, the holocaust monument, fort mchenry, the big hill on the south of inner harbor (cant remember what its called) druid hill park, the fudgery, Edgar Allen Poe's gravesite
