City officials are too often corrupt. Lobby interests control the city and this affects community planning and zoning. I'm a community leader and would like to see residents have a larger say in community planning. City Council needs to be revised. Large Baltimore businesses need to be held accountable for paying their water bills! The Zoning Board should not make it so easy for developers to seek exemptions to build developments that do not follow in line with zoning policies. If the city placed residential concerns over private developer interests, neighborhoods would be safer / have a higher quality of life and the city would stop losing residents. Finally, improving public education should be a primary focus.
Great place to raise a family; so many hospitals near by. The food here is amazing, I love the convenience of public transportation. And in regards to safety just like any place, Baltimore has its good and bad areas. The shopping malls in the surrounding areas are good. You have some "dead malls" for you introverts! Lexington Market food is Hittin!
Baltimore is working to improve its art district and scene heavily, and for that reason alone I love living here and seeing that. The drivers are atrocious though. In terms of safety concerns, it is like any other city, and with less people to boot. Just be aware of your surroundings and you're good to go!
