In summary, he is saying that the best reason to live in Baltimore is to conveniently get outta there. You can get all of the other pros outside Baltimore too. Baltimore is known by Marylanders for being crime ridden and corrupt.
I lived in that wretched place for 3, long, and miserable years. When I left that awful area, I never looked back.
Who wants to live in a shitbox.
I Moved to Baltimore City 7 months ago once my lease is up I'm out✌🏽
What's so bad about it
Off to the whitest zip code you can afford, eh?
❤ my city but, the water bills are crazy. And, the streets suck.
When I lived there I ended up buying a dual sport motorcycle to get around because the streets were so bad.
The crime is really terrible. Could be a beautiful city but completely ruined by thugs. The water is full of sewage. Nasty frothy top and garbage in the inner harbor. Having your car vandalized or stolen while visiting is a serious concern. Turn down any side street and the roads are covered in glass from constant break-ins. I live an hour away and would rather drive 3 hours in a different direction to see concerts, shows, sporting events, or restaurants. it simply is not a good idea to visit these days, I couldn't imagine living there. The crime has been spreading outside of the city recently, as the car jackers have been coming to neighboring suburbs, towns and cities to do their dirty work. Such a shame as there are some wonderful places to check out, like the aquarium, Ripley's, museums and art galleries, go see a ball game, but somebody really needs to get ahold of the situation.
Urban crime is a right wing conspiracy theory. The nice strangers on Reddit tell me that it doesn’t actually exist.
We lived there for many years before my (formerly) progressive wife got carjacked in front of our house. Now we’re up in the country. 😅
The saying is true: “A conservative is just a liberal who’s been mugged.”
My brother used to say to me, "That giant sucking sound you hear, is our tax dollars going to Baltimore".
No pros, all cons, literally
Born and raised in Baltimore. Thank you for your video. So many different clouded and judgemental responses to this video. No city is perfect. But people saying how bad it is, move. If youve been here for 30 years and its so bad, leave. Don't share your bias negativity with people who want to move here. If you were only here 3 years, you know nothing. Everything in this video is absolutely true and very well said.
This place is terrible.
I appreciate you. Totally agree if you don't like it, then people should leave. This country is so big and their is a spot everyone can love and call home.
Sorry to hear that you feel that way. Can I ask why? Oh by the way if you are leaving Baltimore, we'd love to help you out with your move if you need a hand.
In a single word "DON'T". AVOID REGRET.
Owning a house there was one of those big-picture life screw ups for us. Over 18 years it barely appreciated at all. Bought it for 100k and sold it for 250k, after putting a ton of work into it over the years. If that had been anywhere else I’d have tripled my money in that time. I try not to dwell on what a waste it was.
Ia Balimore really a "growing city"? I thought the population has been shrinking for 40+ years
Baltimore had almost 1 million people in 1950. Today it has 523 thousand. So yes, you are correct.
Crime rate is growing.... population is decreasing daily, either by finding a way to escape, or getting shot n killed trying to buy a chicken box and a half n half
Everyone who can is moving out. Young white people move in, get married, have kids, get robbed or mugged, and then high-tail it to the counties before their oldest kid is school aged. 😂 I saw this play our many times in my years living there.
Born and raised here it sucks
We went to the inner harbor yesterday. The last time I was there was a decade ago. The one thing I noticed is that how ridiculous everything cost I mean I felt like I was being robbed for a bare minimum everything
As someone that is from here and lives here, avoid Baltimore at all cost. Great video that touches on a lot of great topics. Here is the missing information and the biggest con (no pun intended). Baltimore City has been one of, if not the most politically corrupt city's for decades. Having been here for 3 decades I can say it's safe to assume that will never change. Our current mayors way of handling crime is "to write letters to criminals" stating that "we know you're doing this, please stop". I wish I was kidding. Crime goes completely unpunished here, I mean honestly, if you're able to rob and steal with no punishment would you ever stop? In addition, more tax hikes are coming. Doubling of vehicle registration costs. They're already taking bids to rebuild the key bridge. Do you think they're looking for the best quality at the best price? No. They're looking at what company they can go with that can embezzle the most money into these politicians back pockets. These politicians get caught dead to rights participating in crime and they almost always walk free with a slap on the wrist. The downtown area is struggling immensely. Businesses closing their doors day after day. I read that they just had money infused to help build new business and revitalize the downtown. Do you really think those businesses will flourish with the crime forcing the people that have money to spend out of the city? Its a complete lost cause. I too love our sports teams. I remember the days of going to Orioles games and going to eat on the waterfront, adding to the economy here. If I venture to a game now I get in and out in a hurry. Not a dollar spent to help Baltimore. I took my dad who's older to an Orioles game a few weeks ago, he doesn't get out much. During the game, they cut his catalytic converter off his car. Can't make this stuff up. John's Hopkins? In the middle of a war zone. Doctors getting robbed on the way to their cars. To cap it all off, the corrupt politicians cut the health care and pensions from our first responders. They already get paid terrible, there's no healthcare for them to provide for their family. So where does that leave us? No exaggeration, short HUNDREDS of police and emt's. There is nobody here to even help you. That catalytic converter, we went to file a police report. Waited 4 hours for the police to show up and nobody even came. This city is a complete lost cause and it hurts to say it.
They definitely stealing. Red light cameras on raggedy roads.
OP is right our Mayor is clueless as heck.... He pays the school chancellor half of a million dollars and she is graduating students that dropped off the system for over 24 months. Some places are okay.
Facts!
Wow, it's amazing that I have been able to live and work in Baltimore my whole life and not get killed and still have my car in tact. Either your slightly exaggerating or I'm literally the luckiest person on earth.
I just spent two years working on an expansion of the original John Hopkins building and walk about 6 blocks to and from work everyday. Describing it as a war zone is asinine. Quite a few abandoned houses and homeless people, but there are not bullets flying by as I walk to work.😂
@@mattjones2903My sentiments exactly!
Moved to Gettysburg pa. Don’t come here either!!! Cops wild. Rather live where they don’t care about crime then where they have none and make it up.
This is why people buy just across the line in Pennsylvania and then drive down to Baltimore and Washington DC. They can buy twice the amount of house for the amount it cost to buy a house in Maryland. Pennsylvania taxes are cheaper, it is cheaper to live in Pennsylvania, except for gas prices are cheaper in Maryland. Just saying…
That was true years ago but not so much anymore. Southern PA is way too built up. Developments and traffic everywhere. And houses up there aren’t the deal that they used to be.
You forgot to mention how horrible the roads are here. Streets, Hightways, Avenues, Boulevards etc…. ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!
I’m all ears, fill us in on what was missed besides the quality of the roads?
Yup. We lived there for many years. We moved two years ago. I recently learned that the front and rear suspension of our minivan is trashed… thanks to those streets.
A little parting gift from Baltimore! 😅
How could you not mention the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and performances at the Hippodrome Theater?
This is why I’m glad people like you watch to help me fill in the gaps. You are correct the BSO and Hippodrome are staples in Baltimore.
Moving to Baltimore this summer, and your videos have been incredibly helpful for gaining my bearings in this new city
Stay near federal hill or in Baltimore county.
@@whathappenedtofreethinking6902or wherever you are now.... F, B'more man. It's like the wild wild west out this bish
Worst decision you will ever make in your life
Don’t move here,those who live here and have grown up here are trying our best to get out of here
Yes I have been here for 20 years this place is violence corrupt I've had enough I'm on my way out
I love living in Baltimore. I chose to move here. It's a great little city.
Tell me you’re childless without telling me that you’re childless. 😅
@HawkGTboy
I have three children, and one grandchild.
Learn to ask questions rather than making stuff up.
@@AnonymousPerson0182
It's great. Freedom.
Smh
For travel, we also have cruises coming/ going from the port, and have train/ Acela service. Even cities that have the others pros don't have these additional perks. Megabus service was cool too. RIP.
Any Baltimore Peninsula, videos about the Construction in the Top Gulf Area coming, Harbor Place, Camden Yards and M&T?
Please tell us the top 5 places outside of Baltimore md to live ?
Columbia, Greenbelt, Cockeysville, College Park or Hyattsville near University of MD, Glen Burnie, Bethesda etc. There are others outside of Downtown Baltimore. Look online for the crime rate and property taxes tell you if it's a good place. High crime rates and low property taxes -bad area.
Virginia, west Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and north Carolina..... seriously, anywhere but here 😅😂
@@lesliebryant686Ew, ew, ew. All of those places you listed are just as disgusting as Baltimore.
Do what I did: google pictures of local high school basketball teams. 🏀 If the team is all white and has a terrible record that’s a good place to move to. 😂
@@HawkGTboy I disagree but Thanks for your opinion.
CON: Maryland has both the Estate and Inheritance Tax (Death Tax)
Having grown up in SE D.C and PG County and having family in Baltimore, I find this extremely honest assessment of Baltimore
I agree. But, he missed talking about the educational system in Baltimore.
On the pro list of Baltimore should have Thames street oyster house. They have the BEST food
Thank you Jamie. It's a great spot for sure.
Love your videos bro but you forgot the biggest con about living in Baltimore and that's the fact that balto. has been a democratic run mess with horrible democratic policies for 50+ years now and until that changes nothing else will in my humble opinion. I grew up in fells point in the 70s and 80s and moved out to anne arundle county after getting married and never looked back.
Hopefully we can get the property taxes lowered this year.
I love your thinking, but the truth is we all probably have a better shot of hitting the Power ball before property taxes are lowered. If the tax rate was lowered hypothetically, the would just increase the assessed value of your home to disguise the increased tax revenue in my opinion.
Hahaha, yeah, they’ll lower them from 2.4% to 2.399%.
Baltimore property taxes are one reason why we left. We wanted a 4 bedroom house for our family and the only places you can find those are in Mt. Washington, Roland Park, Homeland and *maybe* Lauraville. The property taxes on the size house we wanted were like $13,000 per year. Fuuuuuck that!
Liked and subscribed! More videos about Baltimore, MD please🙏🏽
Yo thank you man Ive been trying to find some good videos on Baltimore and just found your channel! Love it
Welcome my friend. Always here to help.
I see this video was made 2 months ago, recently on the news they had a report that said that Baltimore is the 2nd fastest city in the country with reducing it's gun violence. I think last year was the first in a while that Baltimore had less than 300 murders and this year is at a much lower pace. I just thought I should mention this. I wish I had the source, but it was within the last week on one of the local news channels
Don’t believe it. They’re “juking the stats.”
Its funny how people complain about all the problems Baltimore has & when you look at the rest of the country there are similar problems if not worse lol it has to be a trend to hate on Baltimore.
A trend? Explain why that “trend” has existed for 40+ yrs. I’m a Bmore native, and swill say with absolute confidence that this city sucks! Corrupt leadership, a failing public school system, high crime, consistent over taxing, rats, trash, garbage roads, etc. Tell me where it’s so much worse that’s not a third world country. The only reason to move here is for healthcare, tech industry, & government work because otherwise, you can’t afford to live here.
@@rapmeister1000 All the same things you listed sounds very similar to places Like NYC & St. Louis & New Orleans my point is this is not just a Baltimore Thing like how yall try to paint it Its a US thing! But keep negatively focusing on all things that are bad in your ”native city” instead of focusing on what the city is doing to improve… y’all natives love complaining with no solutions & been living here for over 15 years!! Sounds like insanity to me.
@@Lmaoomikeyy you speak as if you know me and every native. Let me assure you that you don’t. Your 15 yrs here is nothing compared to my 60. Tell me if 15 yrs ago, you felt comfortable leaving your front door and car unlocked? Tell me if 15 yrs ago you were comfortable allowing your children to walk to a neighbor’s house, several blocks away; to stay over for dinner? Tell me within that 15 yr period if you’d allow that same neighbor to discipline your child. I’m gonna bet that the answer to all is no. But we did all of that 40-60 yrs ago. Just 20 yrs ago, I didn’t have to worry about pulling up to a stop light to be harassed by a squeegee vagrant. I’ve never seen that in NY, St. Lou’s, or any other city I’ve visited. Oh, you thought me not traveled.
Solutions you say? So you’ve followed me to city planning meetings? You’ve followed me to Baltimore Clergy Council meeting? You’ve followed me to every town hall? You’ve been with me to city hall? You have been privy to every discussion I’ve had with the mayor, comptroller, police commissioner, & governor? You haven’t. Solutions are my language, child. But solutions only work once implemented with integrity. And the day that you find a single Baltimore City leader with an ounce of integrity, come and find me. They all say they’ll do something, then never follow through, save for the handful that benefit their wealthy campaign donors. So you can completely miss me with your highly uninformed narrative.
Bro, for real! The mf'in potholes in this bish, will unlock your door, and change your F'in radio station.... murdermore MD, is a F'in dump! Avoid here at all costs
, that's because NYC and all, actually do try to make things better, and improve their city. We're F'ed up, we been F'ed up, and we're gonna stay F'ed up. Ain't nobody tryin fix any of this bs.
You didn’t talk about the wine festivals here in Maryland. There’s a whole Lotta wineries here that produce very good wine. In the summer, there’s wine in the woods in Columbia, that’s a great wine festival.
Lived there for 15 years. Now I’m on 6 acres up in Harford County. I wish we had moved 10 years earlier. I liked living there before we had kids and the house was very affordable, BUT we didn’t get much for it when we finally sold it. In 18 years the house barely doubled in value and that was with me doing a ton of work to it.
Also, being white in an 80% black city is just a low-key drag that eats away at you. The litter, the crime, the noise, the rudeness, having to lock everything at all times… it got old. Now we’re up in a 95% white zip code and enjoying the kind of peaceful, high trust community that only our people can create.
Parkton, Monkton and Fallston are full of ex-Baltimore residents who feel the same way, they just may not admit it! 😅
