People running from Baltimore

If you can get past the murder rate

“The city’s outrageous property tax of $2.248 per $100 of a property’s assessed value is more than double of its surrounding jurisdictions: Baltimore County, $1.10, and Anne Arundel 90.7 cents. The city’s burdensome property tax on homeowners explains why the city has more renters than homeowners. The city’s high income tax is 3.2 percent, the maximum allowed by law. Baltimore County’s is 2.83 and Anna Arundel’s is 2.56. The city’s tax message is clear: Move here and pay higher taxes. People have figured out how to avoid the city’s taxes and still enjoy the city. They live in surrounding counties and take reasonably priced ridesharing services into the city.”

Detroit on the Bay in the making.

Detroit on the Bay in the making.

I haven’t been to Detroit in 20 years, but Baltimore felt to me like a typical town suffering from the same malaise as Detroit.

Baltimore and the Harbor, the historical significance etc was nice. There are some nice places to live around the city. But you will pay through the nose to escape.

The business climate is stifled by onerous Taxes etc. the State relies on the money from Washington DC to prop them up. Move government agencies out of Washington and Maryland would be a wasteland.

The corruption in the state corrections system and like organizations and departments is terrible. I saw it first hand when I lived there.

When the screwball Mayor of Baltimore allowed the troubled youth to let their anger out and stone the Police officers during the police incident a few years ago I hope the shit hole rots from the inside out. What a disgrace, but under the Obama administration it was allowed....and applauded.

Do crimes committed under the color of authority get longer sentences than those committed by ordinary citizens or are they the same? To me a cop committing a crime should pay the price two times over or worse.
