I’m from Baltimore( ova west garrison& alto) and this woman is speaking facts. The city is ultra violent, boring and dirty. I wouldn’t recommend anyone with a life or business about yourself to move to Baltimore. Especially if you’re from the south!
It’s a matter of perspective. I moved to Baltimore seven years ago and I really like it. Boring! Not from my experience. Did you live in a distressed area? Baltimore is like most cities. There’s good and bad as a whole. I like the proximity to DC and New York. Baltimore has excellent restaurants, museums etc….Unfortunately, if you’re poor don’t come here because, life will be hard. If you have money, the possibilities are limitless on what you’re exposed to.
@@theroseroom980 I understand. One thing that I agree with you is the people here can be very mean and stoic. I’m starting to say tew instead of too. Lol
Great video! I've visited Baltimore a few times and even made some videos about it. I always wondered if it was really as bad as people say. Unfortunately, your experience living there confirms that it’s not a great place to live.
Yeah visiting and living you get different experiences especially if you visit in nicer areas. But Baltimore is definitely not a place I would want to raise kids or start a family.
Lived there for 29 yrs , applied for a job and relocated my family to Texas . Was the most beautiful thing I could’ve ever done . Sure Baltimore has some really great spots to Visit , but the quality of life there is just depressing
I can agree to almost all the points you made. I been in forest park over two years and if I had been younger I wouldn't have moved here. But I rarely go into the city because it is poor and the landscape can be depressing. It is a lot of unnecessary violence because like most cities the YNs are out of hand. The people seem nice to me wherever I go idk. Some of the women weren't feminine to me, had to date women from my old city Philly
Lived in Md my whole life. It’s not just Baltimore but Md as a whole the culture changes from county to county. People in Md usually aren’t as open or courteous as other states you definitely pick up on it if you travel. The mannerism is so different most people in the state of Md keep to themselves. I just speaking from my experience growing up here
I live 30 minutes from Baltimore and never go into that city unless necessary. It's such a crime-plagued city. The mentality of the people is so crazy too.
I moved out of Baltimore in 2000. And never looked back. The Ravens still are my favorite team. And I miss those delicious Chesapeake Crabs. The week I moved I was driving a cab for 5 years and was robbed at gun point. So I said F Baltimore and moved to California. I love it here. But taxes are a bit high. But that's the price I pay for the great weather here.
Baltimore got good neighborhoods mixed in with the tough neighborhoods. Imo its a lot of discrimination against black people when it comes to housing. You really got to know a Baltimorean that can show you around and not a realtor. Im not sure where you lived at but judging by your video you could afford to live in a more welcoming neighborhood where you could enjoy yourself. The foreign college students get more access to safe affordable housing than average baltimoreans.
I have lived in Baltimore all my life and I gotta say you are speaking facts. It's unfortunate because it hasn't always been like this. In the 80s they revamped the harbor, spent millions and it became a huge tourist spot. Now, I won't even go down the harbor they trashed it and the crime is out of control. My advice....VOTE BETTER! The Mayor, governor etc are all a bunch of idiots. Oh and let's not forget about those police... go watch "We own this city" it's a disgrace what those few police did.
Wow I knew someone has to know what I was talking about. It’s literally like you can’t escape anything bad from happening there. Someone I know that lives there had a crazy incident happen and they live in what’s considered a nicer area.
I don't know what neighborhood you live in I live in union square and what you are talking about doesn't happen here and then Baltimore has so many things to do from fort McHenry,the bma the Walters ,major league baseball and football fells point university of Maryland and Baltimore and John's Hopkins artscape SOWEBOFEST amvat museum it is an exciting town with something different to do everyday you should move to a different neighborhood
i actually lived in a decent part of town. I honestly didnt mind it. most of the bad things happened when i would travel around baltimore to other areas or while i was taking public trasportation. I know its not all bad, there are nice parts and bad parts to any state. this was my personal experience but im glad you had a better experience than i did.
I agree sister but give yourself credit because you were looking for change from where you were previously to where you are right now and you got it maybe not the change you were looking for but you gained the experience of learning even more of what you don’t want and where you are now have prepared you for where you may go next peace blessings and GODLY love to you sister and by the way your not wrong you just don’t want to be around B.S. and it’s very understandable you don’t want to constantly be surrounded by craziness especially when you know that true peace comes from within so if you have peace inside yourself then you want to be surrounded by peace as well I know I got long winded but hey❤keep loving yourself and keep choosing better🙏💎💎💎
Aww I loved this messages and you are 100% right about everything. And I actually am living in Cali now and I love it way better than Texas and Maryland
@@franklin1976sh no where lol it’s crazy you can’t be soft or gentle you have to present yourself as hard when you go out of your house even if you aren’t like that
@ I wouldn’t say a hard presentation u can be yourself but u can’t be weak. If u are a naturally timid person then yes u have to be someone else. But that’s the case EVERYWHERE
@theroseroom980 Maryland is vague what country n what area u were bmore, I don't think you lied but I just wanted to know where you're from. Eastern shore or western Maryland I'm from east bmore Peace Queen
Yes but there are areas that are more peaceful I have experienced both sides honestly especially since I have moved to different states 3 times. And my husband has helped me to get exposed to the places that are more peaceful and calm.
I left that hopeless and depressing city 2 years ago for Youngstown Ohio. Best decision I ever made. I actually feel much safer here in this small and quiet town
I'm a "Buckeye," born and raised in Cincinnati. I was a WAC and Uncle Sam dropped me into Fort Meade (south of Baltimore,) in 1976. I grew roots, married a man from the Baltimore area, raised two sons in Maryland - and I've wanted out of this town/area for a very long time. When I was married, I lived in nicer areas in Anne Arundel County. Now divorced, I've lived in a pretty quiet SW Baltimore City neighborhood for 23 years. (Almost all of my immediate neighbors are wonderful people.) I'm really only two blocks from the Baltimore County line, and yet five people have been shot and killed in my neighborhood (that I know of!) since I've lived here. @theroseroom980 mentioned that she lived in a pretty nice area but there was "a hood up the street." That's the thing - No matter where you live in this city or even the surrounding counties, very likely there will be "a hood up the street." Also, Baltimore has its own "vibe" that many native Baltimoreans adore. Even after decades, I just don't get it. I've never, ever seen the "charm" of Charm City. I don't like the kitschy, "Hon" culture, and I even hate Old Bay! The few places I used to enjoy going, like Harbor Place, Fells Point and Federal Hill, have become magnets for brawling, muggings and shootings. Since I retired, I've never gone into the city and I never will. I'm glad you found a haven in my home state. I miss Ohio very, very much. It's a completely different feeling there. (For many years I had a dream of moving back home, but recent events in my family kind of shut that down... 🙁)
I heard everybody there is like hard body fr .....that place will turn u to a monster the way it sounds smh
@@Reallyblackballed it can but if you fight against all the nonsense you will be alright honestly it’s best to just leave if you can.

That’s good that you were able to do that. I moved to Cali and it’s so much more peaceful so I know what you mean
@@theroseroom980 Do you mind me asking what part of Cali? My kids vacationing in San Diego an bugging me to move their
@@chosengirl3101. I heard San Diego is like one of the few good parts of California. everywhere else is trash.
Some of the things she talking about I seen them in Philly and new York

I live 30 minutes from Baltimore and never go into that city unless necessary. It's such a crime-plagued city. The mentality of the people is so crazy too.

@ oh wow well I would say when you can move to a nicer place. That what me and my husband did.
That sucks man. Been looking at homes there, but I guess the crime rate there is the main reason why houses there are so affordable.
Yeah it’s definitely not a great place to live my mom still lives there and I keep telling her to come to Texas with me.
Its not affordable in Baltimore all the utilities are a lot higher that in Bowie MD and other parts of MD taxes are higher too!
Sound like garrison blvd
I don’t even know where that is lol
@@theroseroom980 in west Baltimore lmao it's a hoe stroll
Get out while you can and don’t become a statistic
I got out already
