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.
Baltimore is an awesome city, with really awesome people. We have very good food, seafood especially. Our parks are nice and we have wonderful entertainment venues. We have some really cool views of the city like over Druid hill Park you can clear to downtown. Our culture and diversity of people if phenomenal!
I love living in Baltimore. Originally from the Midwest, Baltimore is a good city to get the city experience from. Lots of cool spots to walk around, eat at, and enjoy the sights of. Friendly population and plenty of potential for growth and involvement!
